Liza book promotion chat — Page 6

Checked out a couple reviews - still excited for the book even if I’ve cooled on the events a bit. Genuinely surprised at some things she’s addressing since she’s been tight lipped about a lot of her life (or spinning it in a positive light, like the documentary).

Somehow I didn’t hear there are four authors. Which makes Michael’s inclusion all the stranger…

Don’t know where I read this but Liza has acknowledged that’s why she chose several authors as she wasn’t up to writing it herself. She’s stated they’re pros at this and she trusts them to piece it all together based on everything she’s confided to Feinstein. He knows everything so it’s given her the freedom to not have to revisit stuff she didn’t want to - Michael knows the stories, the anecdotes, etc. She completely has given him full control over what he chooses and she doesn’t care how personal or gritty it is. Anyone who watched the documentary will remember he chimed in with transparent comments after her “rose-colored glasses” comments like her saying there were no drugs at Studio 54. Moments like these made me respect him more than I initially was.

None of this is true. The two other writers were hired later to work with Liza alone.

Yeah, I know ghostwriting is common, I just feared that this went beyond that. That the ghostwriters were ghosting Michael, not Liza. I'm happy to be wrong.

Yup. In November 2025 it’s been known that ElevenLabs cloned Liza’s voice and is what was used for her audiobook:

Listening to the audio book now and this is absolutely AI.

By Liza Minnelli, as told to HAL 9000.

That posed photo of Liza in a recording session can only have been an attempt to con us. ☹️

I just listened to the preview of the audio book on audible - hoping to hear how it sounds after all the chat here but the sample covers the dedication and then four and a half minutes of Feinstein reading the introduction. So that's not much help at all!

My signed copy arrived at home yesterday - but I'm not back until later in the week. My other half opened it and had a look and said that it didn't look like it was printed in, but that was as far as he would commit himself.

I have strongly mixed feelings about the process that has led us to here - and the promotion surrounding the book - but it's the only thing we're going to get so...

Liza’s People video interview 

Almost every retail book outlet in the US and UK (including indie shops) has sold signed copies. Theres no ways she could have signed all those. It’s either autopen or secretarial with possibly some she signed mixed in. 
 

This is feeling like a Feinstein production all the way around with a guest appearance by Liza. Sad.

His almost 15 minute introduction in the audiobook almost felt like it was HIS audiobook. It went on far too long. 

Got my book delivered on Sunday from Amazon - a few days before the release date.  Who knew?  Really enjoying it so far.
