"Show Off" questionHow long does Janet hold the note at the end...before the encore?
And how does one hold that note for that long?

They do a trick with her microphone because there's a moment in that note when she drinks a glass of water as she's "singing!" LOL!

It's a trick glass. She's not actually drinking- that trick was also performed in some productions of Chicago during "Both reached for the gun."

She is a traind singer. She has the abilty to hold a note that long.
The water drinking part is recorded. Only that part.

It is taped.  She told Seth Rudetsky (SIRIUS radio) that at his Studio A Cabaret.

Okay, I know this is old, but I want to know: how do you sing and drink at the same time? I'm not trying to make you sound ridiculous or anything, but I really want to know. Could you explain exactly what happens? Because right now it doesn't make sense to me . . .

I'm pretty sure it's a recorded voice...

She's not really drinking. It's most definitely a trick glass. Very few shows have people actually drinking.
Unfortunately, I was in a show once with a little kid that didn't know that. He filled his prop coffee cup when I thought it was empty, then performed the handoff without telling me. Since he had found the cup laying around in the wings, I didn't put my mouth to it and ended up with water all down my front. Thank god it was at a rehearsal.

I saw the show at the Ahmanson (pre-Broadway) and it I'm 99% sure it was recorded. That certainly doesn't make it any less funny!

Ah, just to clear things up: I'm also about 99% sure that it's recorded when Sutton sings it, but that person was claiming that it was possible to drink and sing at the same time, and I wanted to know how that's possible. But thanks for trying to clear it up for me, anyway.

I'm sure for live shows, with untrained ventriolquists, they use a tape.
However, the trained ventriolquists can actually do it, they use it to "proove" that its actually the dummy talking and not them.
They learn to swallow with the lower part (or upper part, I forget) of their throat, and with the other part they do the talking. Also, they hold liquid in their throat, and swallow much of it when they break.

I've done it on awkward vowel and gutteral noises..
just basically pouring the water into your mouth.. and not swallowing.. until after you finish.
granted... that won't get you more than maybe a 10 second UUUUHHHHGGGHGHHGHGHGHGHGH.. but it still amused me....
hahah.
