Barbra Streisand has made alot of Albums&whatnot what stands out for you overall for Her? what Era was Her Best for you?

Guilty -I LOVE THIS DUET

Evergreen- One of the most beautiful songs ever written..

Dont Rain on My Parade- Has special personal meaning for me.

Favorite album?

The Broadway Album- My grandfather died around the time this came out and I remember my mother listening to this album over and over...Till this day, I cant hear her version of "Send In The Clowns" without crying...and then their is the beautiful cover of "Somewhere"...my Mother would sing this outloud...one day she said it made her feel closer to her dad...wow, i just remembered that...hmmm...i love that album...

The Way We Were--shmaltz before schmaltz was cool or made fun of. A perfect song

The Main Event--becaue her tits,ass and perm were not that bad in the poster for the movie The Main Event-A Glove Story

People-..who ned people are da lukiest mf-ers in da world

Guilty

What Kind Of Fool--when the song kicks in is the shit

Evergreen--shut up! Thats the bomb diggity. Love,soft like a gotdamn easy chair--its her "Easy"

You Dont Bring Me Flowers--for how she sings the part ..I remember...you couldnt wait to see me..use ta hate ta leave me"

Barbra is gangsta--people just dont know.

Barbra Streisand is my least favorite singer of all time. I think everything she does is revolting. Sorry to those who love her. Mecha-Barbra is the only version of her I like.

Barbra Streisand. My mum loves her (my mum also loves Neil Diamond, Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath), so I listened to Barbra alot even before there was this gay obligation to love her music.
I like her old work, I even ended up buying this four cd box of her (For The Roses) because there is this night club performance where she is BEING cabaret. Awfully wicked and funny.
I am no big, huge fan (sorry Erik), but am a huge admirer of her personality. SHe kicks ass.

And she has a cute son...

So,you like a warbling wannabee with too much eyeliner and tacky New Wave clothes (Pink) but you don't like a legendary artist like Streisand?

Just kidding...

Lazy Afternoon

My favorite woman singer! i love; 1. PEOPLE 2. A STAR IS BORN with KRIS K 3. THE WAY WE WERE 4. FUNNY GIRL/LADY 5. NEW YORK STATE OF MIND 6. U DONT BRING ME FLOWERS with neil diamond. sooo many more...

THE WAY WE WERE-such a beautiful song...period!

AS IF WE NEVER SAID GOODBYE-I think of my friends back in Phx, AZ who i left when i moved to LA 6 months ago...every time i talk to them it's like time never passed!

I FINALLY FOUND SOMEONE-I hope I find that 'Someone' someday!

A PIECE OF SKY-Cuz she sings her ASS off

Babs rocks...too many other songs to mention!

Best album ever...THE BROADWAY ALBUM!

hummm...

On a Clear Day You Can See Forever- because it's very happy
shiny people new agey Big Bookish

By the Way- describes issues in a complex esoteric love
affair. great song for drama queens

Evergreen- it's just lovely! think of all the people in
your life who remind you of the lyrics:

"...time we've learned to sail above
time won't change the meaning of
one love...ageless...and evergreen..."

Lost Inside of You- because it's a precise description of
how I feel when I'm at the beginning of
a life altering, earth shattering love
affair


With One More Look at You/Watch Closely Now- eerily touches
an autobiographical chord that mirrors
one of the most important chronicles of
my life; my first marriage and divorce.
Heck, for that reason you might as well
throw in thw whole "A Star Is Born"
Soundtrack!!!

The Main Event- 'cause it's so 70's cheeesey, & the 70's
is MY era! Honestly, I can't WAIT to get
old so I can have grandkids, and I can
TORTURE them with this song while I
dance around in mumus and wrinkled
knee- high stockings


Enough Is Enough- love it for the same cheesey reasons as
The Main Event. Although, on a deeper
level, even though I was a little kid
when this came out- something in me was
affected by the fact that this Black
diva and White Jewish icon were doing a
duet and criss-crossing all over the
charts...TOGETHER. In the moneymaking
climate of today's music industry, that
dosen't seem so groundbreaking, but back
THEN- for something like that to take
over the airwaves just 10+ years after
the civil rights movement and all...
my little heart was completely INTO that


75% of the GUILTY ALBUM- it's the romantic, tortured artist
crap that gets me every time

The Way He Makes Me Feel- it reminds you of that phase you
go through after you've fully
established that you're in love...
for real

Papa (Can You Hear Me)- great song for extremely stubborn,
hereditarily Type A personality
girls who need to mend fences with
their equally demanding dads (who
only mean them well)

Speak Low - from that OTHER Broadway album she
did...I am ashamed to admit that this
version of that song was actually the
first time I had heard it...and it's
a friggin' STANDARD, for God's Sakes!
because of her cover, I did end up
buying a few other covers of it, be-
cause I thought the lyrics were very
sexy in a mature kind of way...

I FORGOT about You Don't Bring Me Flowers! That one's a keeper, too! And New York State of Mind? Well in MY mind, there should only be THREE people in this lifetime allowed to sing that song in public-EVER; that would be Billy Joel, Randy Newman, and of course, Barbra Streisand (although I wouldn't be adverse to alllowing Paul Simon or James Taylor
to RECORD the song, since I am a bit partial to them as well)...

I always dug Aretha's version of "Somewhere" from...I think 1973. It's truly intoxicating.

Supernova said:

ohh my...now *this* i gotta hear...thanks for the info...

4 those who r brave enough 2 say who u like/love artistically, regardless of the flak u know u're gonna get... I say, preach on!

My fave Barbra stuff:

"Somewhere" from the Broadway Album, (the whole Broadway album was hot!).

"You Don't Bring Me Flowers"

"Guilty"

Anything from the "Yentl" album... it remains my absolute favorite of hers.
