I noticed that there are almost no threads on Barbara Streisand.

Are there any fans of hers on the Org?

I like some of her songs such as "The Way We Were" and "Happy Days Are Here Again." What about you?

BTW, I would NOT recommend her Live at Madison Square Garden album. Streisand is good in small doses...not for an entire concert.

Not a fan of her music but I'm sure is a fan of these...

all that money she charges for concert tickets and the ugly skank still wont pay for a nose job

great actress and great singer plus shes hot.

unique.

Back in the late 1970s, disco had become so popular that even people like Ethel Merman and Barbara Streisand started making disco records. One of the reasons disco died is because this made disco "uncool". I've always wished that Barbara Streisand would make a shit hop record.

I really enjoy her film work. Funny Girl and What's Up Doc? Are two of my favorite movies by her. I still never saw Yentl in it's entirety but I bought the soundtrack for my stepmother and ended up loving it she played it so much. I wish she did more film. Enjoyed her in Meet the Fockers.

Like quite a few songs by her and like Lauren Hutton I’m glad she never bent toward the entertainment standard of beauty and had rhinoplasty.

I think I never a saw a movie with her...

I'm a bit young to see her movies

One of favorite memories is a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live in a skit with Madonna, Roseanne Barr and Mike Meyers when he use to do a classic sketch called Coffe Talk.

Funny Girl is excellent.

FANNY BRICE
Don't tell me not to live, just sit and putter
Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter
Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade
Don't tell me not to fly, I simply got to
If someone takes a spill, it's me and not you
Who told you you're allowed to rain on my parade
I'll march my band out, I'll beat my drum
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir
I guess I didn't make it
But whether I'm the rose of sheer perfection
A freckle on the nose of life's complexion
The Cinderella or the shine apple of its eye
I gotta fly once, I gotta try once,
Only can die once, right, sir?
Ooh, life is juicy, juicy and you see,
I gotta have my bite, sir.
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Don't bring around the cloud to rain on my parade,

I'm gonna live and live NOW!
Get what I want, I know how!
One roll for the whole shebang!
One throw that bell will go clang,
Eye on the target and wham,
One shot, one gun shot and bam!
Hey, Mr. Arnstein, here I am ...

I'll march my band out, I will beat my drum,
And if I'm fanned out, your turn at bat, sir,
At least I didn't fake it, hat, sir,
I guess I didn't make it
Get ready for me love, 'cause I'm a "comer"
I simply gotta march, my heart's a drummer
Nobody, no, nobody, is gonna rain on my parade!

Great singer. One of the best and a very good actress too. She's very funny and she's made some fantastic movies. I don't care for her personality too much and I think her head is way too big these days, but I do think she's a very talented woman.

Some people don't have to change their looks. They are very satisfied with how they look regardless of what others think. I for one am happy that she's never had her nose done.

Empress said:

Me too,,,it gives her a distinctive look.

Don't fancy her personality too or her GREED(She got the HIGHEST ticket ever ).

LOVE her!!!!

Huge Barbra Streisand fan! I wasn't feeling her at first, but after I saw Funny Girl, I swear it changed my life. I still think Funny Girl is the best musical ever made. Not only is she a great singer, she's also a pretty good actress (except for Funny Lady that movie was HORRIBLE). Here are some of my faves:

Funny Girl (of course)
The Way We Were
What's Up Doc?
All Night Long
Yentl
Nuts

Also, I'm glad Barbra Streisand didn't get a nose job. If she did, she would look like everyone else in Hollywood. Her looks are one of the things that makes here unique. I also disagree with the Barbra Streisand concert commnent. I bought her 2006 concert album and I swear I felt like I was there! From the way she hit her notes to the orchestration: perfection.

I also don't think her forays into disco were that bad either. No More Tears, the duet she did with Donna Summer is the shit! A real vocal exercise. They just don't make songs like that anymore!

You're never too young to see a Streisand movies, especially with the invention of DVD!

MikeMatronik said:

she's excellent.. if you ever get the chance.. watch her in 'Nuts' .. great film

Empress said:

I think she once mentioned that doing that would screw up her voice because of the way they reconstruct with surgery, very similar to the reason Jewel didnt re-do her front teeth because it would alter her vocals.

Lovesexy82 said:

Im not sure which show (whether Entertainment Tonight or the E channel) that reported .. she didnt get a nose job cause she is concerned that will ruin her voice..

Flowerz said:

Maybe some other singers should have considered that. Either way I think she's fine the way she is. Says a lot of what she thinks about her instrument.

JackieBlue said:

i agree.. im glad she didnt do it.. I'd go to her concert too ..

peppeken said:

Excuse me, but why the fuck would she need a nose job?

Flowerz said:

Nuts is a really good piece from her. Also, for young, fearless, thinking women whose lives have been transformed by marriage and becoming moms I would reccommend her film "Up The Sandbox". I also reccomend it for those who have already gone through that stage and want to reflect on how we may have changed as women over time and social circumstance...

I'm "hooked" since her album "Guilty" came out in 1979 (shit I'm getting old.....at least I hope so, meaning to live long

Seen many if not all her movies, besides her unbelievable voice she's a great actress. Oh Yentl!!

She's the one that made me discover I love to sing and I've been singing her music for years (still do) and it connects me with loads of joy whether listening or singing it myself

So yeah you can consider me a fan.

Love
Lily

People always talk about her nose I think it`s her best feature...




and the nails!!!

Her last tour a 100% of the profit went to charity. that was the reason she did the tour yet folks forget that. And her previous tour was lush...there was floor to floor red carpet and waiters serving wine and appetizers (of course at a cost)...the grandness of the event merited the cost IMHO.

SunnySkies said:

Here's Barbra as a young girl singing jazz. Without her hair dyed blond here, she looks like a pretty Turkish girl, eyes, nose, nails and all..


...Lawd, to be 21 years old and brash again, I rarely wish for it until I see performances like this...

Nice performance! I always thought she had nice eyes. They’re more prevalent in some photos than others and depending on the make up but pretty.
