The "scandal" regarding Liza Minnelli’s 1989 synth-pop studio album Results primarily involves legendary Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim being furious over her high-energy dance cover of his song "Losing My Mind".
The Stephen Sondheim Feud
Sondheim's Dislike: Minnelli revealed in her memoir that Sondheim did not like the heavy electronic, Pet Shop Boys-produced club production of his melancholic ballad from the 1971 musical Follies.
He notoriously preferred his songs to be performed exactly as written
Showbiz Retaliation: Minnelli noted that Sondheim previously "put her through hell" by holding up the release of her Live at Carnegie Hall album for nearly a year because she accidentally flubbed a lyric to the song "Some People" during a live show.
Despite his irritation with the Results version, the track went on to become a massive hit, reaching Number 6 on the UK Singles Chart.
Minor Technical & Culture Shocks
No Orchestras Allowed:
When the traditional theater legend arrived at the studio, she was shocked and mildly distressed to find no live musicians.
Producer Neil Tennant famously had to explain to her that everything would be built entirely using synthesizers and computers.
The Camp Shock: At the time, the pairing of a classic cabaret/theatric icon with an electronic dance duo was viewed by the traditional music industry as bizarre, though it has since become a critically acclaimed camp classic.
