I think you should submit for whomever you like. It is not a popularity contest. They look at the submissions but create their own list to consider from. I would love to see Liza get one... and now that Chita is on the committee I think there is a better chance of that happening.

"IMO, she is way more deserving than Barbra Cook."

WRONG! WRONG WROOOOONG!

Carolos, I'll do the punching first if you'd like.

By all means...take your best shot, because a comment like that is just unacceptable!

Barbara has a cane these days. Maybe she can whack the commenter with it before any of us.

Can I have a turn at a bitch slap as well?

Wait, maybe we should calm down. Who's Barbra Cook? Surely not the Barbara Cook I worship.

Barbara has a beautiful voice, an ideal ingenue, and she has enjoyed a long, successful career, but I can't see how that makes her more iconic or influential than Liza.

Again, I'm not saying Barbara was undeserving of the honor, I just think that Liza should had won first.

She immortalized "Glitter and Be Gay". That was enough. End of story.

What about that little song New York, New York...

And her Oscar. Glitter and be what? Liza is an icon, Barbara is a great performer.

I suggested Bette Midler-she deserves the honor before anyone listed in this thread so far.

Barbara Cook is a much better singer technically than Bette Midler and Lisa Minelli. Plus she has a little something known as CLASS which Midler lacks.

Both Bette Midler and Liza Minelli are culturally resonant and iconic and deserving of the honor.

Liza is also a good international ambassador for American entertainment. She's not only known worldwide she's actually better regarded internationally than in the US.
