Garland was known to those that saw her live for her....

expressive hand movements while singing. I somewhat agree that the rendition of TMTGA in the film is not her best performance of that song.... This vid taken from her weekly TV show is more to my way of thinking a better performance and natural and what Cukor SHOULD have captured on film.There ARE on YouTube no less than 3 filmed versions of the song... At any rate IMO and the opinion of MANY people who saw her perform in her lifetime, she was the greatest talent to ever step on a stage... some would have said Jolson, some Garland, some Presley and more recently Michael Jackson. Unfortunately I was never able to see any of them live and am a big fan of all except of course Jolson... I'm a little too young to have a been a fan of his...
