She does sing songs to perfection!! She is such a master, like no other singer 💟 It's not my usual repertoire of music, but I will listen to her any day, because you just know she takes each and every song, artistically and quintessentially, creating with such a high standard. And that goes for everything she does, acting, singing, directing, producing, designing her houses, etc. etc. etc. Very inspirational for all people to give it your all, in whatever you do💟
It is her phrasing, intonation and incredible range that have always gotten to me. She doesn't so much as sing to you as tell you a story via her vocal chords. Nobody phrases like Barbra Joan!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
She's a Legend deservedly. At her best..one of the all-time BEST. This song, Barbra was vocally a bit Past her prime. However, the Voice was still strong & dynamic---perfect for "Somewhere."
This is a great song! Barbra Streisand is one of the true mega stars. She has spanned over 6 decades of music. This lady has a fabulous voice & can sing many genres of music. She is a singer, actress & filmmaker & one of the few performers to have received awards in multiple fields of entertainment (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar & Tony). Love the musicals she was in especially "Funny Girl" & "Hello Dolly". She has so many great songs that were hits & she has done numerous duets with famous people.
I tried counting all of her duets but stopped at 43. I believe the first was with Judy Garland in 1962 and the most recent was Ariana Grande in 2019. The interim 57 (!) years included Ray Charles, Harold Arlen, Donna Summer, Kim Carnes, Don Johnson, Frank Sinatra, Bryan Adams, Willie Nelson, Celine Dionne, Vince Gill, Stevie Wonder, Babyface, Lionel Richie, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Melissa McCarthy, Jamie Foxx...etc., etc., etc.
You are correct. She is one of the best, if not the best. I think she is just musically intelligent, and has it all....the God given beautiful sound, tremendous breath control, lyrical insight, and the right amount of passion.
Great credit should be given to David Foster, this generation's musical talent, song writer and arranger impresario. Thanks David for all the gifts of music you have given us. A David Foster fan forever.....
I’m 19 and I love Barbra. I’ve seen most of her films, and love her music. Not only this, but she is so naturally beautiful and gifted. I wish other people my age could see that this is what REAL talent sounds like!
I was privileged to first hear her when I was a child and she was on the Ed Sullivan Show, and I followed everything she did in all the years since. She does sing every note with perfection - she doesn't waste a single moment on anything less than that. She evokes so many emotions that I've experienced through in my whole life. She's a part of my DNA now I think.
Barbra has perfect pitch, enunciation, vibrato, vocal range and total vocal control even when singing the quieter notes. Outstandingly talented singer and actress.
From the 70's you should check out her Stevie Wonder covers of YOU AND I and ALL IN LOVE IS FAIR. Her mid 70's to late 70's voice is EPIC and it's most powerful.
This is why she's been know since the earliest days of her career as "the actress who sings". The song is heard *and* felt. In that regard, I suggest her medley of "One Less Bell To Answer/A House Is Not A Home" from a 1971 Burt Bacharach TV special. Besides her amazing delivery...she performs the song as a duet with...herself. (Whaaaa....?😅). Thank you, Stan! Loving your channel! ✌️
Played this at my Mom's funeral. My mom chose all the songs she wanted. This, The Way We Were and If I Could. She was a huge fan and I was raised on Barbara streisand. Miss you Mom xxx
If I Could is beautiful. But it's always broken my heart. Especially now that I do have kids. Your mom must have been an exceptionally beautiful soul. ❤️
I just watched her in the movie A Star is Born again for the umpteenth time and of course still cried at the end. She's always been a favorite of mine. So many of her movies I can watch over and over again like Funny Girl and Hello Dolly and so many more. Her voice is incredible!
I wish that song could have gone on longer! She's an awesome singer, director and actress. She can hold a note forever. Curious you brought up stage fright; Barbara is a perfectionist and sings perfectly, but she has suffered for years from stage fright! React to "The Way We Were" from the movie of the same name.
Hello you will never hear a story like this again.i first heard Barbrah in NY i was 14 yrs old .it was at theater the movie called The Way We Were i was nothi g short of Mezmeri ed by her voice i went back 7 times yes 7 times to listen to her voice. I am now 65 yrs old and still get chills when i hear her
I think you're the right person to talk to about the importance of vocal tone in beautiful music. Everyone seems to be obsessed with range, or pitch, lyrics or some other minor or occasionally major part of what makes a voice or song beautiful while forgetting about the part that the tone of a voice plays. Take the reason, as I perceive it, the sincere (the majority of the hosts are merely performing histrionics to attract viewers) and somewhat knowageable critics on these first time hearing videos and you will find its the unusual tone of the performer that makes them (once again, the honest hosts) tear up, display a discreet smile, or go into uncontrollable ecstacy when they listen to it. Unfortunately, some of the best tones in vocal music are never heard on these videos because the don't appeal to today's obnoxious obsession with volume, some of which I rip my hearing aids out immediately to avoid further damage to my Disco, Early hip hop era ears. Dean Martin and Johnny Mathis are two of my all-time favorites. This does not mean a singer with tone never has the ability to hit ridiculously high notes with volume ala Luciano Pavorotti and Bobby Hatfield, but Al Greenes smooth and low key top tenor sounds are equally as attention-getting as Celo Green's louder high notes. Incidentally, I'm a big Celo fan when he doesn't go off the charts with his songs that no one wants to hear.
This version is magnificent, of course. What would be a great contrast is the version by Tom Waits. Vocally speaking, it's pretty much a Beauty and the Beast comparison - yet Tom Waits, gruff and raddled as his voice is, delivers a rendition that is truly beautiful too. Do check it out. I'll be subscribing btw, I like the cut of your jib!
I enjoyed your reaction. I'm 73 and have been fan of Barbra from the beginning. About 12 years ago I saw a youtube video of Barbra doing a beautiful duet of this classic with an amazingly talented young girl. I was blown away, it was unbelieveablely beautiful. I am sure you would feel the same way if you see it. Here is a link to the video I would really like to see your reaction to it. youtube.com/watch?V=3FtmFlNudlA
What a voice. One of the best singer ever.

What a gift she has been to music lovers around the world.
It is her phrasing, intonation and incredible range that have always gotten to me. She doesn't so much as sing to you as tell you a story via her vocal chords. Nobody phrases like Barbra Joan!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Before Celine, before Mariah, before Christina, before Whitney, before Jen8fer Hudson... God graced us with the one and ONLY BABS 💕👑💕

Will always be the G O A T

Judy..Ella..are as Good BUT No one Better.....And Barbra was extremely Versatile. Research her music career for proof. Her career is Unsurpassed. 💯
Great credit should be given to David Foster, this generation's musical talent, song writer and arranger impresario. Thanks David for all the gifts of music you have given us. A David Foster fan forever.....
It's a shame some younger people today have never experienced her artistry as a singer.There is no one like her. She's a special lady.
I’m 19 and I love Barbra. I’ve seen most of her films, and love her music. Not only this, but she is so naturally beautiful and gifted. I wish other people my age could see that this is what REAL talent sounds like!

you summed Barbra up perfectly. You have sixty years of a journey to go through of the greatest talent ever!

She was a huge fan and I was raised on Barbara streisand. Miss you Mom xxx

@@goldilox369 She was x
Extraordinary….
The best singer ever!
Listen and watch her performance of Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered from the Judy Garland Show! This performance is beyond perfection and beauty.
Feel in love with her back in 1977 (Evergreen) and saw her at Madison Square Garden in 1994. Thank you for all the music and movies.
Barbra is the best singer, acts in movies and plays, directs, she wrote songs,
(EGOT -- Emmy, Granny, Oscar, Tony)
I grew up listening to hair bands but I dont care what u like rock, rap, hip hop, country , doesnt matter, you will love her music..
Absolutley Perfection! PERFECT PITCH.
I just watched her in the movie A Star is Born again for the umpteenth time and of course still cried at the end. She's always been a favorite of mine. So many of her movies I can watch over and over again like Funny Girl and Hello Dolly and so many more. Her voice is incredible!
You can not like the genre of music she performs but her voice is undeniably beautiful.
Barbara S is God showing off! Most talented woman alive today.
From the 1957 Broadway musical “West Side Story” and this from her brilliant 1985 “The Broadway Album”.
❤❤❤one of the best singers ever!!!!!!
Yes, she truly is! She is magnificent.
Thanks for this song.. Love seeing / hearing her sing to perfection. More songs from Barbra..
Look into her catalog she has 6 decades worth.
Her and Celine are the best ever!!!!!
No comparison. Streisand, bar none!
That's my favorite song by her ❤
I wish that song could have gone on longer! She's an awesome singer, director and actress. She can hold a note forever. Curious you brought up stage fright; Barbara is a perfectionist and sings perfectly, but she has suffered for years from stage fright! React to "The Way We Were" from the movie of the same name.

Best singer n the world
You’ll love her duets with Barry Gibb. Either What Kind of Fool or Guilty. I’d love to see what you think.
Perfect!!! ❤❤❤
Powerful, exhilarating, soul filling song and performance.
Astounding as always!
Directed by William Friedkin (Exorcist) and filmed at The Apollo Theatre in NYC.
Honestly she doesn’t sound real. Her range is astounding.
I noticed a little label on the start of this video. Barbara Streisand is about as New York. That's where she's from.
Goosebumps ❤

I love your channel
Thank you
Patty-You should explore her singing Papa Can You Hear Me from Yentl. Magnificent.
As stated by others, I highly recommend reacting to One Less Bell to Answer/A House Is Not A Home. It is a tour de force and not to be missed.
Alright. It's time for I'm The Greatest Star!
This version is magnificent, of course. What would be a great contrast is the version by Tom Waits.

Westside Story..........written by Leonard Bernstein
😁👍
People this song is for now
Barbra Streisand is a singer who can act, not an actress who sings.
This has an MJ quality, she came first!!!
Hahahaha…what???? MJ is a baby compared.
You must know, as much at l adore her ,this is a total re mix.
No remix. This is the original track from The Broadway Album!
I think she means remaster because I have the original vinyl and it sounds remastered to me. A bit cleaner and more digital.
Nope!!
I've seen her live 4 times and she is perfect
One of the best
