33 | !!Tropes applying to Minnelli's stage persona and works: |
34 | * AlbumClosure: ''Confessions'' ends with a found-love song called "At Last," about finally finding peace in love after looking for years. |
35 | * PronouncingMyNameForYou: In her 1972 concert ''Liza with a "Z"'', Liza sings the title song to explain that her name is pronounced with a long I and Z sound, not a long E and S sound. A few stanzas later, she adds her surname, "M I double N then E double L I". |
36 | * SelfTitledAlbum: The album ''Liza Minnelli'' (1968). |
