[VillageVoice] Which old broad messed up so many songs during a big concert engagement that some people were buzzing that it was “a career killer” (though she got the obligatory standing ovation)?

Liza
Liza Minelli
Oh gee, take your pick… But I’m going to say Liza, with a Z.
saw Liza at the Hollywood Bowl, she was awesome & totally put together.
i wasn’t expecting her to be so lucid as i had heard she was a mess. but no mess!
Elaine Stritch. She’s always described as an old broad.
I think you’ve got it! Plus it’s a Village Voice blind, so Broadway makes sense.
Completely agree.
I think you nailed this. I’m adding my vote for Elaine. And I also hope she’s OK and that the mess-ups aren’t a sign of something more serious.
barbra
Lucie Arnaz
I like this guess. Hasn’t she been dead since 1989?
That’s Lucille Ball her mom- Lucie Arnaz (daughter of Lucy and Desi Arnaz) recently gave a concert tribute in NYC honoring Desi Arnaz and I remember the article talking about a “standing ovation”
Liza?
Liza Minnelli
I like this guess, as she always seems in drug induced stupor.
I think there was a BG about her drinking lately. Something that mentioned her as the daughter of someone famous.
madonna?
Madonna hasn’t had a concert since 2010.
Susan Boyle
is barbara cook still singing? If yes, I will go with her.
I’m going with Debbie Reynolds. She was in a movie called These Old Broads with Shirley MacLaine, Joan Collins, and Liz Taylor. Liz has passed and the other two aren’t known for their singing the way she is.
Yes, that’s my guess too. I think you got it.
Yes. I agree. Makes me sad, though. I loved her in so many old movies.
I don’t think it’s Debbie. She’s been on tv a lot lately in interviews & dancing reality shows; she seems pretty on the ball. She did belt out a phrase or two and I can imagine she can still carry a whole tune.
Whew! That’s good to hear.
I will agree with this answer. “These Old Broads” was the clue and Debbie is touring. Plus, I think it’s a little late for her “Career to be killed”. Isn’t she 124 years old?
Sadly, I do think it’s Liza. I add the “sadly” part because she used to be a phenomenal singer but has wasted it on drugs and booze. She can barely sing any more.
Aretha Franklin.
I’ll say Barbara Cook. She just received a Kennedy Center Honor and still sings.
I ADORE Debbie Reynolds, but lets be honest, she hasn’t had much of a career since the mid-’60s. She’s been playing cheesy Vegas showrooms after her ex-husband Harry Karl gambled all of her money.
Sad thing to happen to a VERY nice woman.
Susan Boyle
Liza
Urethra Franklin?
I don’t care who it is, it’s a horrible way to say it! Unless it is Debbie Reynolds and then it’s obviously a clue, but it’s still awful!
Bette Midler
It’s Liza. I saw her a couple years ago and she is a mess. Her vibrato came in about five measures too late, she passed out, came back out and got a standing O. Even then people were saying this was a career killer, but that’s what people expect from her these days. Her live performances are so bad that if a Liza impersonator came out and did the gig no one would know any differently and still give her the standing O. When will Lorna finally get the acclaim that she is due? She’s a great singer.
Most of the old broads being guessed here could stand on stage for 20 minutes passing gas and still have a career…
