Agree R2. Raitt is a legend.

It’s utterly confounding that Liza has never received this award, but, at this point it must come down to the likely possibility that she can’t/won’t commit to appearing in person (which is required to receive this honor) due to her precarious health and the fact she resides on the other coast, so travel could be tricky.

Bonnie Raitt is quite overrated.

I’ll never forget The Queen’s tribute to Babs. I had never seen her sing something so straight. Brilliant vocalist.

To R6-you must be "drunk and high as shit"!!!
Lady Gagda is overrated, Amy Winedrughouse is overrated!!
Bonnie Raitt is a "national treasure" who deserves the Honor.
Gladys Knight& the Pips too!!

The story was that Kennedy Center waited too long and now Liza is too ill to travel and the honoree must attend. But Liza claimed only a month ago that she was going to Paris. That was probably a lie, but if she could go to Paris, she certainly could make this.

This year is weirdly lopsided with mostly musicians.
In past years they would balance with a film star, pop musician, more of a genre musician, perhaps a dancer, etc.

I've always enjoyed the KCH's but in recent years, the show changed big time and not in a good way. Also, the choices have been a bit lackluster. I think the last show I've enjoyed ended with an amazing tribute to the members of LED ZEPPELIN. That was 2012.

The Kennedy Center is a disgrace and ought to be ashamed.
Still no honors for two of the most deserving performers ever: Liza Minnelli and Johnny Mathis.

All three have strong SF/Northern California roots. Love it.

it's a phony, made-for-TV award, always has been, always will be. They must not think Liza's not a draw anymore.

R18 😆 If you watch the video you can se how much she actually does approve. It’s like a teacher watching their student. They all were. James Brolin, Morgan Freeman—I’m guessing he was honored that year too. I didn’t know Bey could sing like that. Like she sung it faithfully not infused with r&b or gospel. Like she has soul because the emotion behind her voice but she sung it like it is supposed to be sung. And her runs are just perfect. She was styled like her too. It’s just a beautiful performance.
