I somehow thought this was going to be some crazy concert performance where Patti, Bernadette, Angela, Tyne and Bette would be singing Some People together. Which would have been ridiculous but you never know.
This one hurt my ears with all the key changes!

It was always a joke that Liza performed the song so fast that she was able to shave a minute off of the song.
I saw an interiew with Roz Russell where she said when she was filming the song, at the end she grabs her hat and a hatpin. At the very end, she jabs the hatpin into her hat. Roz said that she did it so hard that she jammed the pin into the side of her head, but couldn't react to the pain until the director yelled "Cut!"

It's an odd arrangement. I'm not sure where it comes from, but it should be in the mix. I know her Rose was met with mixed reactions, but I actually appreciated much of her performance.

I was the one who uploaded that clip of Linda. While she did it differently in the show itself, that version is really terrific. I think it's one of the best acted versions of the song. I love the way it builds instead of just starting out loud. If a new film version is ever made, I'd like to see them take that approach with the song.
Also, I believe the clip was from a Jule Styne special. It was on a tape my grandmother had.
