"Hello Children, I'm so happy that I'm giggling uncontrollably and going crazy! The 79-year-old Minnelli started her Facebook post on Wednesday. "Everything is happening right now."

"Today, a six-billion-dollar techno giant does incredible things with my first EDM single since The Pet Shop Boys era, released on [ElevenLabs]," she went on.

Liza also explained that the voice used in her song is not AI-generated or utilized in any unlawful manner by the business, depriving her of her creative rights.

“Not AI vocals. A few trolls didn’t bother to read the truth, check with me or my partners. The shout outs are all mine!”

"A few trolls didn't bother to read the truth, check with me or my partners," she said as she wrapped up her cheerful email. I get all the shout-outs!

I can't believe all the negative comments here Liza. You do you and have fun with it. That's what its all about. If they don't like it, oh well.

"The artist's voice, choices, and ownership are respected in this project," she stated.

"I grew up witnessing my parents create beautiful dreams that belonged to other people. ElevenLabs enables anyone to be a creator and owner," she continued. That is important."
