Professional soprano Catherine Bott spoke to Classic FM about how well she thinks Zellweger performs as Garland.
She said, “She’s clearly been doing a lot of listening, and she goes for a breathy, slightly nasal sound, pitching each note confidently and accurately.
“Zellweger doesn’t have Garland’s miraculous instinct for sitting back on the beat, but it’s much more than a ‘Who knew an actress could sing?’ performance. Hearing this version definitely makes me look forward to seeing the movie.”
