Just saw the breaking news on MSNBC. She will be missed.

I am so grateful I got to see her perform live a couple of years ago. An amazing performer.

What sad news on Christmas. We saw her several times at The Cafe Carlyle and there was no one like her. PalJoey'sPal will be very very sad.

Here's "Here's to Life" and "I'm Still Here" are inspirational life statements.

Oh wow. Her Santa Baby came up on the radio last night, and I hadn't heard it yet this season. It was so refreshing to hear someone do that song right, unlike every screechy pop singer from the last few years.

She'll be missed.

For some reason, this doesn't make me sad. She had a lifeforce that even death can't extinguish.

A couple of terrific interviews with her:

This is sad news. Why on Christmas? I just heard her on the radio on the way home from my sister's.

Oh no... I'm more upset abotu this than I think I think I'm comfortable explaining. I guess no more "Emperor's New..." franchise-- it won't be the same without Yzma.

I think she actually died yesterday.

An apt ending to a rotten year.

I'm so glad I got to see her perform in Nine several years ago. She was a wonderful performer and was HIllarious in that role (which i can't remember the name of off the top of my head).
