Hilarious! Thanks for finding that. Mind you, I hadn't heard it since it she first said it so I knew my wording would be off.

Barbara Streisand Vs Donna Summer



I don't know what exactly went wrong in that recording session, but when both of them commented about it later, they were kinda cagey about it.

SoulAlive, you can let us know if you're fimiliar with it.

Harlepolis said:

I love stories about that! I read once that Donna was trying so hard to outsing Babs that she fell off of her damn chair.

<--- Donna falling off chair

she should try make such statement in the uk today though and i'll bet you there'd be some serious shoe throwing involved

Harlepolis said:

Barbara was horrified about doing this song.She knew that disco was Donna's thing and she didn't really like playing second fiddle to the "Disco Queen".The first recording session was filled with drama...lol...when the two singers took a break,Barbra whispered to her assisant "Why is she trying to out-sing me? I thought this was supposed to be a duet!".



In the end,it was decided that both ladies should record their parts separately.

SoulAlive said:

I remember Donna saying something to the effect "Working with Babs was 'long pause' intersting' and Babs in her "Funny Girl" act "What Donna Summer song? OH, the disco thing? It was cute"

The HELL, is all I could say

Harlepolis said:

It's telling that Donna usually includes this song on her 'hits' compilations and during her concerts,but Barbra seems like she'd rather forget about it altogeher.

SoulAlive said:

It's been said that Donna was on something from partying the night before and she pass out and Babs keep on singing then check if she was ok

Does anyone know what happen between Cher and Miss Ross, I heard they were friends but diana stole cher's boyfriend.

The Cher-Diana Ross thing, I don't think there was a beef. I mean I never heard either of them comment about it, maybe because no one asked about how Gene picked them both or how Diana got Gene when Cher had him, lol. But didn't Gene leave Diana for Liza Minnelli or something?

Diana vs. Barbra:

I don't think Barbra has beef but Diana mentioned that as much as she looked up to Barbra, she felt Barbra was "intimidating".

The Barbra/Donna situation was probably that Barbra hated disco, Donna was drunk (I think), and both of them were trying to outsing each other. That said, Donna still respects Barbra as a singer.

If that's not a comedy sketch... Still love that song.

JackieBlue said:

I'm saying! It's less of a beef than it was a comedy of errors.

In regards to the whole Madonna Vs Janet thing. A gay magazine interviewed Janet during the discipline era and asked her what she thought about the internet feud with her and Madonna fans.

She laughed and said that the fans are really defensive over their favourite artists and said that Madonna has done a lot for women artists (something to that extent).

So there aint much of a problem anymore between the two.

I can see it in my mind right now with maybe Deborah from Mad TV... I can't believe no one's ever tackled that flashback. Them screaming Enough is Enough!

mancabdriver said:

There is a Q Magazine where Janet spoke specifically about Madonna's tour and compared her to Michael saying how his was so much better. I don't know why I'm the only one who seems to remember this since it was during Janet's peak. I think I still have the magazine but at my parents house. There may not be a feud but clearly Janet wasn't looking to meet with Madonna over drinks. Every time this comes up I think of that article.

JackieBlue said:

Donna is funny

JackieBlue said:

I think during Janet peak she said Madonna isn't really selling anymore Maybe it was furing her S.e.x. era

JackieBlue said:

I imagine it too and Nicole Sullivan as Barbra doing her best to sing-scream at the microphone. While Deborah as Donna fell over and said "enough is enough" than Barbra saying "that's the name of the song, thank you Donna" and Donna walking out mad.

tamewar said:

Damn, I can't remember which tour Madonna was up to at the time... maybe Blonde Ambition. Not sure but I remembe thinking it was odd because Madonna's shows had provedn to be very well done and she and MJ shared a lot of the same production people.

The next time I go home I'm looking for this magazine 'cause I swear this comes up at least once a year. Hoping my folks didn't throw it out with the rest of my Jackson memorabilia.

Timmy84 said:

And those big ass wigs you know they'd be wearing... bell bottoms and tube tops or whatever...

Fury said:

McCoo is a scrapper....I bet on her!

Didn't knew Donna had some diva behavior in her. The only time I ever heard her talk about Chaka, for example, was in high praise and didn't address the disco slut stuff.

VinnyM27 said:

Well that's a rumor, I think Barbra was more antagonistic than Donna was, lol.

tamewar said:

Hilarious! Is the vocal part a real outtake?

Marva Whitney vs. Aretha Franklin. Bad, bad blood.
Lyn Collins vs. Aretha Franklin. That was pretty bad as well.
