Liza book promotion chat — Page 4

That is not what she sounds like as of current. Go watch her on Drag Race from last year. Her diction is not that good anymore. There's a reason why her words are rarely connected by video as of recent. Either written statements or audio only (as with this audiobook) so they can just make her voice say what they want her as if it was a decade ago. Which I feel is fair if she is aware of it, but given her statement prior (if that was even her actual statement) she has not consented to recreating her voice. This is an 18 hour audio book, it would have been a bitch to record for her.

Apparently there's a story about the Oscars and Gaga forcing her into the wheelchair which she insists she didn't need, but again going back to Drag Race last summer... she cannot walk unsupported (if at all) and I doubt she was much better at the Oscars a few years prior. I will say that Drag Race treated her much better with her appearance giving her a large throne. I have to wonder if the issue at the Oscars didn't reveal itself until she was actually on site for the broadcast and couldn't be planned for something with more reverence to her.

Is the NYC one in danger of being cancelled due to low ticket sales? ☹️

I knew this might happen, so I only have myself to blame if it does.

She notoriously cancelled appearances even when she was healthier. I thought this may get cancelled even if it sold well. If she doesn’t feel up to it, it’s not happening.

I also have a sneaking suspicion her signed books will be autopen. I’ll check the autograph message boards after they are released. 

I’ve seen Liza perform four times and she’s never canceled.

I’ve been lucky, I guess. Never got a chance to see her in CHICAGO but she was on when I saw LIZA! at the Winter Garden in 1974, in THE ACT, THE RINK, and her run in VICTOR/VICTORIA along with her run at Radio City as well as more than a handful of her touring concerts. Yes, her concerts never started on time but she did go on. 

Liza is in great spirits in this video for the People cover story. Nice to see her silly side again - her goofy face is just like Judy’s.

Transport Group just announced their big concert this year is going to be a tribute to Liza - Liza! at 80.  I loved the Follies and Dolly productions over the last 2 years, so I'll definitely be trying for tickets for this one.

Interestingly, the website says that everyone will receive an autographed copy of the book, which I'm sure will bump the prices up even more.

We are so Liza blessed this spring.

Here are almost 5 minutes of her audiobook. Based on her shaky speaking voice today, this is definitely Ai generated. The awkward spacing between sentences is the dead giveaway. In all fairness, it’s an unabridged audiobook so it’s tolerable and it IS in her voice, just an Ai version.

Oh will you just shut up already, Flash/Merkin/Ensemblewhatever...

 

Many people use ChatGPT or image generators or the like in their day-to-day lives for fun, but when they're being asked to spend money on something that has been AI-generated, particularly something creative, the sentiment shifts. 

Fine. Deep breath.


Where are we likely to get confirmation?

Uhh, well, to lie about that would be an act of fraud, so.
