Pronunciation
[edit]What is the American pronunciation of her name? I think it's /ˈliːzə mɪˈnɛlɪ/ or something similar, althought someone in Italy here thinks it is /ˈlaɪzə/.--Carnby (talk) 19:09, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- She pronounces it /ˈlaɪzə/. Adam Bishop (talk) 12:37, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
- Adam's right, which I say as a New Yorker where she used to be in the news constantly. μηδείς (talk) 22:44, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

I beleive that this article should be classified as Stub as it has very little real or meaningful and verifiable input - it requires alot of work to improve it. It is amazing that the article is so poor given Minnelli's extensive career and accomplishments but most of the sections are POV and use 'weasel' words. 86.12.250.117 18:37, 21 August 2006 (UTC) |

Just a quick edit - Under MUSIC - Barbra Streisand does NOT have an EGOT. She has never won the Tony award. She did not win for Funny Girl - she lost to Carol Channing in Hello Dolly. 100.2.66.182 (talk) 12:14, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
- Not done: She won a Special Tony Award in 1970. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 13:07, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
Is the intro summary editorializing?
[edit]There are a lot of claims being made that aren't clearly substantiated:
- "she is known for her energetic stage presence and her powerful mezzo-soprano singing voice" [by whom?]
- "Her concert performances at Carnegie Hall in 1979 and 1987, and at Radio City Music Hall in 1991 and 1992 are recognized among her most successful." [by whom?]
- "Best known for her Academy Award-winning performance in Cabaret (1972), [....] Best known for her renditions of pop standards, Minnelli's early 1960s pop singles were produced to attract a young audience" [how is she best known for pop performances and her Academy award?]
- "Minnelli returned to the concert stage in 2002 with Liza's Back and was an acclaimed guest star in the sitcom Arrested Development between 2003 and 2013." [acclaimed by whom? the series is acclaimed but was Liza highlighted?]
