Happy Birthday Liza!

It's Liza's birthday!

Gawd bless the fragile living legend that is Liza Minnelli. She may be many things - mad, bad and dangerous to know; to some people just downright weird - but of the ladies who dare to call themselves "diva" these days, it takes somebody with her kind of sheer talent to make the grade! A very rare breed indeed.

Emerging from the shadows cast by the brilliant light of her mother Judy Garland, Liza proved her voice and her career could be even BIGGER than Momma's - and with multiple awards including Emmys, Tonys, and an Oscar under her belt she still commands a huge audience wherever she goes. Let's face it, we are fascinated by her!

We have followed Liza through personal tragedy after personal tragedy, joyful success after success, and even at the ripe old age of 61 (who would believe it!) there is still not a queen amongst us who wouldn't love to lip-synch along with our girl singing "Maybe This Time" or "Cabaret"... (And we wont mention the marriages, honest)

Happy birthday darling, and many many more to come!

Mein Herr (from Cabaret)
You have to understand the way I am, Mein Herr
A tiger is a tiger, not a lamb, Mein Herr
You'll never turn the vinegar to jam, Mein Herr
So I do...what I do...
When I'm through...then I'm through...
And I'm through...toodle-oo!

Bye-bye, mein lieber Herr
Farewell, mein lieber Herr
It was a fine affair, but now it's over
And though I used to care
I need the open air
You're better off without me, Mein Herr

Don't dab your eye, Mein Herr
Or wonder why, Mein Herr
I've always said that I was a rover
You mustn't knit your brow
You should have known by now
You'd every cause to doubt me, Mein Herr

The continent of Europe is so wide, Mein Herr
Not only up and down, but side to side, Mein Herr
I couldn't ever cross it if I tried, Mein Herr
So I do...what I can...
Inch by inch... step by step...
Mile by mile... man by man

Bye-bye, mein lieber Herr
Farewell, mein lieber Herr
It was a fine affair, but now it's over
And though I used to care
I need the open air
You're better off without me, Mein Herr

Don't dab your eye, Mein Herr
Or wonder why, Mein Herr
I've always said that I was a rover
You mustn't knit your brow
You should have known by now
You'd every cause to doubt me, Mein Herr

Bye-bye mein lieber Herr,
Auf wiedersehen, Mein Herr
Es war sehr gut, Mein Herr und vorbei
Du kennst mich wohl, Mein Herr
Ach, lebe wohl, Mein Herr
Du sollst mich nicht mehr sehen, Mein Herr
