Renee Zellweger is known for acting but you can easily write a research about her love for music.
The entertainer won her second Academy Award for portraying Judy Garland in last year's Judy, for which Zellweger performed her song in front of a live audience. He was praised for his performance in 2002 in Chicago. And he is an avid music artist and live-music appreciator who jumps up and down in his gown when Eminem surprised the audience at last year's Oscars and performed concerts despite being an A-list star One gets out to the concert just to receive.
He is also a proud card-carrying member.
"He raises the bar when it comes to work. I admire with her that if she is going to do it, she is knocking it into the stratosphere or she is not going to do it, "said Zellweger, who emphasized Beyoncé's stunning performance at the 2005 Oscars . "He was the North Star on that one … He is the gift we are all blessed to experience in one way or another."
So it should come as no surprise – unless you're Zellweger – that she's earned her first Grammy nomination this year with the Judy soundtrack, featuring Zellweger with songs like "Over the Rainbow" and "The Trolley Song" , Has been nominated for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album – an award Tony Bennett has won a dozen times.
"I don't think that's something I have to be honest about," Zelweger said in a phone interview about hearing the word "Grammy-nominated" before his name. He said, "I was not in the position to imagine. It was definitely a thrilling surprise. "
She is competing in a category with musicians whose concerts she participates in and the songs she plays for years. Nominee includes Burt Bacharach, James Taylor, Harry Konik Jr. and Rufus Wainwright, who perform "Have Yourself a Mira Little Christmas" with Zellweger in the Judy album.
"It was scary to ask Rufus, 'Hey, what are you doing?' Want to sing a duet with me ?, "he recalled. "I know people say that all the time, but it's true: I've actually been singing in my car with Rufus for 20 years."
Zellweger remembers watching Connick Jr. live, describing the crooner as "an authentic man and artist".
"You get what you see," Zellweger said. "Stumbling her leg on stage in the Hollywood Bowl there and you feel like you're in the living room with her or something."
"Living room talk," he continued, "a friend of mine had won this lottery thing or something on a bid. It was a private concert with Burt … and Carole Bare Sager and they used to play in the living room." And he played the role of 'Alfie' in the living room. Oh, trust me. I was downloading every moment in my memory – just to taste it and smile at it. "
Moving Zelweger to music further is light work. The Texan has been going to concerts for years and he also took tickets for a show that was recently canceled due to an epidemic of coronavirus virus.
"I stay away from myself all the time. I like to go to the Santa Barbara Bowl whenever I get a chance. I would fly to Texas and walk around Austin to see people playing. I'll go to Dallas, "he said. "I think one of the things that I remember is getting to isolate and listen to music that way. Nothing like that.
To convince Zellweger that she is a real singer is a difficult task. When asked if she knew she could sing, she replied: "I still don't know."
"I still don't think of myself as a singer. I think of myself as someone who is trying to sing. Or who works. I still don't know what I feel when I'm liking myself, "she explained. "So, yes, I don't know."
He underwent vigorous training to perform at Judy's to strengthen his voice, a history of the final years of Garland's life shortly before he died in 1969 at the age of 47.
"At first I did not know much about what goes into making a voice or is it even possible. I just did what I was told (and I) was very happy to find things to try. I loved looking at the project and the goal from that perspective. It seemed impossible otherwise. "
Zellweger impressed audiences and critics around the world, winning Golden Globes, SAG Awards, BAFTA and Independent Spirit Awards. He had to practice habits like touring musicians to keep his voice together: "The dairy door was closed. no, thanks."
"I never really understood the whole air conditioning problem, but I did in this experience," she continued. "I know that there are some cycles where you are stronger as a singer and where you are less strong in terms of your sleep and rest. All these things came into play in a really important way."
2021 will mark a full cycle moment for Grammis, Garland and his influence on pop culture – the 1962 show honoring Zellweger's performance of his songs nearly six decades after Garland's history, the album of the year. Became the first woman to win. Judy in Carnegie Hall. "
Due to the epidemic, Zellweger will not participate in the 31st January Gramm, but she will keep watching – and they will be ready.
"I like being respectful and fair. This is a very good thing, "he said. "It's not something you expect it's going to be on your list of life experiences, so when you do, you want to cover your pimples, brush your hair (and ) Take off your baseball cap. "
