| I am almost certain, without having any specific knowledge, that Zellweger will lip-sync to Garland's actual recordings. Garland's is such a specific voice that I would pity any performer trying to mimic it, especially an untrained singer like Zellweger. Of course, Zellweger did a great job in the CHICAGO film, but her singing there was reportedly assembled note-by-note in the studio and she has said in interviews that singing (especially live) terrifies her. I can't imagine that she would be tasked with approximating Garland's singing voice in addition to her speaking voice. |

| What do you mean by "assembled note-by-note"? I could possibly believe phrase-by-phrase, but I don't see how she could have come up with these wonderful renditions without phrase continuity. I mean, she really puts these songs over spectacularly. I would rather listen to her renditions of Funny Honey, Roxie, and Nowadays than Verdon's or Reinking's on their OBCRs. | |

| Maybe she can assemble Judy's voice note by note. Traci/Tracy Bennett did it live! And if Renee pulls it off on screen? Instant Oscar! | |

| Except that Traci/Tracy Bennett was no match for Garland circa 1961 when I saw her perform at Boston Garden. That was the year "Judy at Carnegie Hall" was recorded. | |
