Just when I thought there was a competition for who sang "Memory" best, came Barbra

A Democratic voice goes without saying!

Celine Dion is not the answer. I'm beginning to understand "Betty BUCKLEY."

A lot of great performances, but those two really stand out.

It was sung in another language, but it was mesmerizing to listen to, especially when she lowered her volume. Susan Boyle was good too. But Barbara and Betty are the two best.

is that they are not straining for the greatest possible volume. They both seem much more in control of their voices.

Actually, I would love to hear that song at a much lower volume. It should be sung in a more intimate way.
