Judy Kaye
Judy Kaye (born October 11, 1948) is a Tony Award–winning American singer and actress. She has appeared in stage musicals, plays, and operas. Kaye has been in long runs on Broadway in the musicals The Phantom of the Opera, Ragtime, Mamma Mia!, and Nice Work If You Can Get It.
Early life
Kaye was born in Phoenix, Arizona, the daughter of Shirley Edith (née Silverman) and Jerome Joseph Kaye, a physician. She attended UCLA, studying drama and voice. "Her voice spans three octaves. She started out as a mezzo and now sings all the way up to an E natural...but basically she feels she is now a soprano." She "easily shifts between Broadway belt and soaring soprano" according to Playbill.com.
Career
Kaye made her Broadway debut as a replacement Rizzo in the original company of Grease in the 1970s. Her next show was the Broadway musical On the Twentieth Century (1978), playing only the small role of the maid Agnes, and also the understudy for leading lady Madeline Kahn. Kahn left the show early in the run, and Kaye took over the lead role. The New York Times reported "Judy Kaye replaced Madeline Kahn...and bang, boom, overnight she is a star." Kaye also toured the US in the musical.

Bukan Untuk Dimengerti
(Bukan untuk dimengerti, karena takkan kumengerti)
Cukup kesalahan telah kau buat padaku
Cukup luka hati telah terjadi karenamu
S'lalu saja 'ku kembali kepadamu
Selalu saja
[Reff.:]
Aku bertahan di sisimu demi cinta
Takkan kutinggalkan dirimu karena cinta…
Tak mudah untuk dimengerti
Dan mungkin memang tak perlu dimengerti… ooo…
(Bukan untuk dimengerti)
Kau masih ulangi salah yang sama kekasihku
Berkali-kali engkau sakiti hati ini
S'lalu saja 'ku kembali kepadamu
Selalu saja
[Reff.:]
Aku bertahan di sisimu demi cinta
Takkan 'ku tinggalkan dirimu karena cinta…
Tak mudah untuk dimengerti
Dan mungkin memang tak perlu dimengerti… yeah…
