Jude - Oh Boy (King of Yesterday)
I've seen you in the magazines and I'm really glad you're famous.
It never meant that much to me but now I understand.
The way you walked away from your commitments and your promises.
You know how to play the game you'll never know the way to be a man.
Oh boy you'll never be the man now.
Oh boy, you want to be a star, yeah.
Oh boy, you're only Peter Pan now.
And you depend on everyone to tell the world exactly what you are.
Well 26 has come and gone, more quickly than it came to you.
Everything you've done before is only in the past.
Well, you should keep a gun nearby, I hope you get the courage.
Dying young is the only way you're ever going to last.
Chorus
You've been fucking for fame since you were 16, everybody knows.
Stolen kisses, something's missing, hey man come or go.
I'll see you at the show.
Oh boy, I see you with your friends now.
Oh boy, pretending you're a star, yeah.
Oh boy, there's no way you can hurt me now.
Ignorance is everything and you've revealed exactly what you are.
You're not some rock star.
You're not some rock star.
You're not some rock star.
You're not some rock star.

| I don't think she was evermore beautiful. She had dropped some weight from her Carnegie Hall concert a year earlier, but she wasn't too thin as she was a year later on her series. And this arrangement completely re-invented this song. It was traditionally sung up tempo. She did for this what Streisand did for Happy Days are Here Again. They turned those songs into mini dramas. That's real performing genius. Long live Judy. |

| I agree with the other comments. She is totally in control here. This is a brilliant performance and shows what a great actress she was in her songs. This is what's called "living the moment". She is so real in the performance, as if she's really speaking this to someone. Judy was an astounding actress in her songs. Very few performers deliver songs like this anymore, mostly it's a european style of performing. Liza is also brilliant at this. Simply astounding rendition and performance. |

| I often wonder what it would be like to have lived in her era and to have witnessed the wonderful spell-binding performances and vivacity that this angelic woman had. Such an absolutely remarkable woman...R.I.P., my love. |

| From what I know, the "network brass" directed Judy to "tone things down" from her usual level of performance, since they felt viewers might find her too extreme! At any rate, it's still a topnotch performance from Miss Show Business!! |

| Judy was the greatest communicator.
Those eyes. That face. That Voice!
How can someone show such fragility and sing with such emotional power? She was the one and only. |
