Not only did she sing this flawlessly but she sang it live. In front of all these people including her #1 inspiration THE Barbra Streisand. This is beyond amazing.
@@th2k864 Lea doesn't necessarily have to follow the orchestra, they're actually meant to follow her. The conductor is meant to guide the orchestra through possible changes in phrasing and tempo so lea can take some creative liberties in her performance
Agree, in Funny Girl musical I love My Man and People. Lea's version of People incredible, but My Man is my abcolutely favorite. Rachel so vulnerable outside and powerful in her love to Finn inside, it's amazing and unforgettably
How the hell does this sound almost exactly the same as when she prerecorded the song for the scene in Glee? I just listened to that version and then watched this, and she hardly missed any notes and had the same incredible breath control live. No auto tune or editing needed. She's just pure talent.
Totally..I really adored singers and performers who Are incredible in Recorded song But CAN SUNG PERFECT in Live aswell..I listen to this rather than The rcorded They are the same..and It is better to know your Idol sings PERFECTLY IN LIVE LIKEE DAYM❤
There's one thing that you people don't get, this is a tribute. Lea is not trying to be Barbra, she's just singing for her idol. Please grow up. And seriously if you have the courage to say that she can't sing i don't know what you think a good singer is.
The last few notes-- when she sings "forever more"-- especially on the "for" is sublime. Perfect control, no hint of struggle. There are a few moments of weakness in this performance but honestly it's brilliant overall. She is still young, her voice can grow to perfection at this rate. Plus she captured the emotion perfectly. Bravo.
Yeah, I'd say the last note was really well controlled. What irritated me a bit is her efforts to maintain a controlled vibrato towards the end. sounds pushed. Also, the high note is too sobby. It's funny how she made it very chesty, it would have been so much easier for her if she made it a lot more nasal.
Rahel Erki true. Lea can nail songs live while Idina.. well... remember Let It Go at the oscars? Lea will actually be singing Let It Go in season 6 of Glee. I'm excited to see her nail it!
I'm not hating (although I disagree that I can't judge a public performance until I've performed myself); Michele is very talented with a lovely voice. My only issue is that by using the same arrangement as Striesand did in "Funny Girl" and patterning her delivery on that version so closely, I can't really experience Michele's performance as hers alone. I'm too aware of when she sounds the same as Streisand, when she's trying to but but doesn't quite make it, etc. Someone less familiar with the original might not have that problem.
+Derek King - Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, as has been said. Anyone who can sing anything like Streisand deserves kudos - and in front of her?? Ye gods!
Revisiting this clip in light of recent events. I think it is so funny that Lea has basically been auditioning for the part of Fanny for years and has finally gotten it. I KNEW if I lived long enough this would happen.
Jesus Christ, she's phenomenal. "She thinks she's Barbra", dude, what the help? No she doesn't. She's worshipped Barbra her entire life. Just enjoy the fucking music, and quit being mean.
i love how she stops at the end and she's like ":) thank you, thank you" Instantly, like she didn't just sing her lungs out. amazing! i love you lea! she must have been so nervous
Barbra is a legend. Lea is a fantastic, incredibly talented performer. She's doing this performance to HONOR Barbra, not to show her up, so there's no reason to compare them. Can we just leave it at that?
she is stunning. she has that star quality that makes you unable to take your eyes off her when she's performing, even if you don't like her performance. she's so committed to every word, every syllable. and that note at 1:38, i mean just wow. she is the epitome of talent in my opinion.
She sounds amazing. People who are saying she sounds bad are idiotic. Is it better then Barbra's? NO. But does that mean you have to say it sounds bad? No.
People are SO insecure about their love for Barbra that they absolutely have to remind everyone that Barbra is better, even though NO point has been made about Lea outclassing Barbra, and even though the sole purpose of this performance is to pay a tribute to Barbra.
The girl's got the chops ! People hated Barbra at the beginning too. You can say what you want about personality, or attitude, but you CAN'T DENY SHE HAS TALENT !
Lol, exactly! So many people are harping on her being rude/difficult to work with (none of the stories people have shared are much more than her being a bit of diva). Barbra isn’t easy to work with either!
I don't care what they say about her. Lea Michelle delivers everytime. She gives us just enough of the Barbra delivery for it to satisfy but it is fully her to the end. Go girl.!
This is what the young people who watched Glee didn't understand about Lea Michele. She was pure Broadway. She was not a contemporary singer like the other characters, singing the covers of the contemporary hits of 2009-2015. She was a Broadway singer and her character was a reflection of that.
She and several other cast members were straight from Broadway, and Amber Riley went on to West End. There was a marked difference between those performers and the others who were more tv actors who just happened to be able to sing
I cannot stop listening to this. She's purely talented and absolutely beautiful. I idol her. She's grown on me over the past couple years. What a woman!
i hate her personality and who she is, but her voice is absolutely STUNNING. chills all the way, and she sounds exactly like she did in the studio voice recording. no auto tune, nothing, just pure perfection.
But why am I tearing up? Omg, wow, this was incredible! So emotional and powerful; I'm speechless! I love Lea Michele with all my heart, but I think sometimes even I sometimes forget how special she is
I mean, she was singing her idol's song in front of the legend herself. Everybody knows how Lea gets nervous before a performance and I think she did an amazing job
29 people don't know how to sing and obviously never tried to... It is so hard and when you see Lea do it so effortlessly it is amazing. Natural Talent!!
She didn't leave me with complete chills like babs does in the film but she is still fantastic. There are very few out there who can even come close to matching barbras sheer perfection, and pull off this kind of song. Barbra is still the best but bravo for a great performance by lea!
I have my ticket for October. I believe this song unfortunately is not in the play, that it was added to the movie but I'm still excited. She sang DROMP when I saw the Glee tour and was great. The producers must be over the moon. They get bad reviews with Beanie, course correct and give the people (or at least SOME people) what they want and hire Lea AND anybody who hates Lea can go see the other woman Julie Benko. They must have happy danced all over the theatre. I'm excited.
Um, WHY? She is a grown woman who can decide on her own what she wants to do. If you ever get a tribute then you can decide how to respond. I don't know that much about Barbra but I believe she is a very reserved person. She has lived in privacy, out of the public light for quite a long time. You have no idea if she does that for anyone.
I am speachless...I love this performance on glee and I never thought she will be able to reproduce that performance in LIVE...But she did it,and did it perfectly,perhaps even better than on glee...Wonderful.
First of all, stunning. Second of all, Lea looked like she was gonna throw up, pass out, or break down in tears at any moment, especially when she walked up to the mic and when she left the stage. She looked incredibly nervous, and considering the nerves when performing in front of the person you have idolized for most of your life, she did a spectacular job. Is she as phenomenal as Barbra? no. Is anyone? no. Should people be comparing the two based on talent? No because everyone's personal preference is different and they come from two different but extremely similar worlds. They have very similar back stories, but they have different sounds. Barbra is way more experienced because of the time she started singing and because of her experiences. I'm sorry this was an essay, but it needed to be said.
People saying her voice is irritating are delusional. She is one of the most incredible singers of this generation, not like these auto tuned idiots singing about a load of shit and making money for crap! People also saying her milking the death of her boyfriend and their relationship was fake is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! You can clearly see from the way they spoke about each other in interviews ect and when you seen pictures of them together and her public reaction when she accepted an award of how much she loved him! I would like to see you try and sing a song like this even remotely well and not be slightly nervous when singing in front of your idol! I love the way she has dealt with this, I don't think many people could say they thought their boyfriend was the greatest man ect after how he died from such a preventable way. She is so brave to stand up like that in front of everyone, I couldn't talk about it to people I have never even met! She doesn't even mention the fact of how he died but how he lived which is how he should be remembered for the decent lovely person that he seemed to be and not for a mistake he made. I don't think he wanted to die!
Don't think he committed suicide, he had addictions that was hard for him to beat. Really don't see how she's milking it. People are asking her about it and seems as though she is trying to move on with her life. If you think she is do nasty then why are you looking at her videos. Yes I'm sure she isn't as nice as she makes out just like everyone is. People have work faces just like she does. You can't deny she has talent because she has an incredible voice. Why would it be public information if anyone was looking for the drug dealer, these types of things happen every day and we don't find out where they came from. I'm sure the drug dealer didn't force him to buy it and overdose. Not interested in getting in an argument with you over this as that is your opinion and I have mine.
MissySampson1 the only thing you're good is talking about nonsense. Lea Michele milking this? she make ONE song about him (if you say so) which is very emotional. It wasn't suicide, it was an addiction that was hard on him. If you hate her so much and think she sucks then why don't you take her place? become a very well known soprano that can hold her notes for a long time. Instead of you judging her for every single thing she does perhaps check your life. you can't say someone sucks when you aren't better than her. some of the artists today can't even compete with her vocally. if you hat Lea then leave. the producers didn't make them date. Lea providing drugs? don't assume anything because you're making an ass of your self. you have no evidence against her so your accusations are false so before you say something stupid know what you are talking about. You're the one that is looking for all drama and the attention so in reality you're the one milking this. Just because your were deprived from attention doesn't mean you have to make negative and false statements against Lea.
MissySampson1 you sick human being! Where the hell did you get the idea that they were only dating for publicity!! They were living together you creep! Also Cory struggled with drugs from the time he was a teenager and Lea tried to help him! So did other people who work on glee. Ryan himself said that Cory came to him and said he wanted to get better! Also where did he get the drugs? No one needs to wonder where he got them. He was in Vancouver for heavens sake! Thats the drug city in Canada! Cory had hook ups in Canada! So no Lea didn't give him the drugs. You are a terrible human being for even saying that!!
+MissySampson1 She is not milking his death for her CD! She wrote one song about him!! She gets asked about him in interviews of course she is going to answer! You're calling her a scuzzy whore but she has done nothing wrong!!! You just don't like her! Also you are milking this! Maybe not for money but or attention!! Also how do you know he didn't get payed to sleep with another man in a porn which I doubt even exists unless you can find me a link. Anyway maybe he could have been bi. The fact that he was sleeping with men (or so you say even though you didn't know him) doesn't mean that he wasn't dating lea! Could have been interested in both. And how can you call him a worthless pile of shit or a scumbag!!!!!!! You didn't even know the guy. I think you get confused when you are writing tour comments and start to think of yourself! People who knew him, people who weren't famous who knew him even before he found fame have said that he was a really nice person and what you don't know is that his mother said that he was going to be supporting a charity in Vancouver to help people overcome drug addictions! The charity head even confirmed himself that he had talked to cory on the phone and he was going to help! Cory was trying to get better and he was trying to help others get better I don't think that makes him a scumbag!
In France in my country, she is the most underrated artist ever! She has a magnificent voice, great charisma, she is really pretty she has everything! maybe Musicals is more about stories than songs and voices in France! her albums do not sell well! she is so great that's real talent! and her cover in Glee is even better! She should be in the top 5 artists of our century!
This women shes my inspiration. Not only in music, which she inspires more than you can imagine. But in life in general, the way she handled Cory's death and kept her poise in interviews talking about him. She inspires me to be a better women and to try to meet my dreams. I am forever grateful for Lea and thank god that I have found such an inspiration
The only reason people are calling Lea a bad singer is cuz Barbra's a legend, i personally think lea's better, cuz if u go by musically not by preference, she is the better singer,
Chris Houston lool hold on i was thinking of another singer people compare lea too when i said 'musically and not by preference' i still think Lea's better than Barbra, but that wasn't met for her
***** No Lea Michele is technically better. Barbra was a great singer, but her tone was very breathy for the most part. Noted that during her career, that was a favoured type of sound, it still isn't always technically right for the song.. Barbra was fabulous, I have no argument with that. But if we are speaking of technic, I would have to argue that Lea Michele wins there.
Chris Houston and levi ryland it matters, think about it, in terms of technique, lea might be since of all her practice, and most people think barbar is so perfect cuz in her time she was really famous, but singing has developed...
She’ll be singing this in every performance of the “Funny Girl” revival on Broadway starting September-wonder why she wasn’t cast right from the start? Her entire career has led to this moment! 🤩
Unfortunately it was the wrong timing in her life because of all of the controversy about her horrible nature. That’s my opinion there’s no way that she shouldn’t have been cast right from the start. Can’t wait to see it.
"She may be difficult, but boy can she sing, BRAVO! 👏👏👏"

probably because she’s the same person
If you've watched the original Spring Awakening, this much wouldn't surprise you. Her voice did mature tho, but still a vocal beast.

+Giulia Bergami Can you imagine singing for Barbra....in front of Barbra??? That takes guts, and a lot of practice.
Giulia Bergami She can damn sure sing and anyone who says different needs to get a hearing test.
Ik when people give out about her I'm like so ur telling me u could get up there and sing like that they need to cop on
But I think she IS trying to be B. And she's clearly a VERY good singer - so why should she need to to do that?
@@domenicofellini159 Maybe she really felt what the song was saying (we all know that it's always gonna be for Cory whenever Lea sings this song).

u true. ;) CelestialSonata

Can not be believe she didn’t get a standing ovation. FLAWLESS.
I know!! I was waiting for the standing ovation and when it never came I was legit confused
Lea Michele tried to get a girl fired from Glee, and that girl was Barbra's niece.
Ricardo Lopes ok
@@ricardolopes9526 Not saying it couldn't be true but I've also heard that Barbra doesn't even have a niece so it is possible this is a rumor.
i was always upset that Barbra never came on glee. not even the very last episode idk maybe it was just me lol
I was also disappointed that Barbra didn't made an apparition on glee
she did actually, look it up
Fran De Avila no she didn’t. At all.
@@kenn499 in one episode she appeared, she was having dinner or something

Katie Stockton no one ever could..there's only one Barbra..she is good though.!!
look at Babs at the end she looks so proud of her 💞
IKR?! She actually liked it.
Ok, Idina Menzel has a strong broadway voice and she did a disney princess.. Lea just did Dorothy... WHEN IS LEA GOING TO VOICE A DISNEY PRINCESS?
I'm just waiting for her to be casted as Elphaba in the Wicked movie
amanda ngo casted? the word is CAST
Lea's singing technique is even better than Idina's and she sounds far more stable in her singing.
Rahel Erki true. Lea can nail songs live while Idina.. well... remember Let It Go at the oscars?
Lea will actually be singing Let It Go in season 6 of Glee. I'm excited to see her nail it!
PREACH
To all the people hating on her performance, let's see you sing in front of Barbra Streisand and a hundred other people and I might agree with you.
I'm not hating (although I disagree that I can't judge a public performance until I've performed myself); Michele is very talented with a lovely voice.

I feel like this is the song for her and Cory.

dont do that :(

What's the point of having it your be dead from it!!!!
Me too
Revisiting this clip in light of recent events. I think it is so funny that Lea has basically been auditioning for the part of Fanny for years and has finally gotten it. I KNEW if I lived long enough this would happen.
I was there on Lea's opening night. Unfortunately, she doesn't sing, "My Man." That was in movie, not original show.
@@jlasf I suspected as much. Too bad. Still I'll hear her sing the rest of the songs in a few weeks barring unforeseen circumstances.
@@jlasf Still, The Music that Makes Me Dance is an Incredible song and she slayed it. (Just saw the show two nights ago and she was spectacular!)

This style suits Lea Michele's voice perfectly. I don't like the songs that she sings to on her own album. She should actually go on broadway! :D
she was on Broadway before glee
She was in ragtime and spring awakening on Broadway way before glee.
She started on Broadway at 8 years old!!!
Have you heard her new album "places"? it is way more her style of music and it's amazing 😊
And the name 'places' is a pretty good indicator of the fact she was on Broadway
If they ever make a movie about Barbra Streisand (I hope they do) Lea should definitely portray her.
Gunter Foust Yes to the movie. But having a hard time seeing Lea starring in it.
with red hair, maybe
I think a movie about Idina Menzel would fit her more.
KardiaYip143 yassss they're identical
This didn't age well 😭
Only TALENTED singers sound like the recorded version. Lea is definitely one of those singers. She is AMAZING and has a voice of a angel!
I agree she amazing
i love how she stops at the end and she's like ":) thank you, thank you" Instantly, like she didn't just sing her lungs out. amazing! i love you lea! she must have been so nervous
lol
Thought the exact same. Like, girl, breath for a while and then say thanks xD
I would have do the same if I were singing in front of and for Barbra.
She amazing
I think that is the most positive reaction Ive seen barbara gave to a person singing her song in front of her.
Yes ,,,,,,, agree. 👍
Barbra is a legend. Lea is a fantastic, incredibly talented performer. She's doing this performance to HONOR Barbra, not to show her up, so there's no reason to compare them. Can we just leave it at that?
I watch this on my computer and I give it a standing o, lol. Love you lea!
I do the same thing everytime i watch this xD
I keep coming back to this video. Perfection exists.
she is stunning. she has that star quality that makes you unable to take your eyes off her when she's performing, even if you don't like her performance. she's so committed to every word, every syllable. and that note at 1:38, i mean just wow. she is the epitome of talent in my opinion.
can you believe she invented talent?
hiandsuddenlyours lol no she did not.
yes, she did just look at her
hiandsuddenlyours ok i see a lot less talented Barbra Streisand. And btw, the word talent and its concept predates her.
I love lea she's amazing but she cannot top Barbra's raw passion. She's so genuine and wonderful
LOL
The best rendition ever. She hits notes that would make others quit the business.
Lea is my barbra streisand she is my idol
She sounds amazing. People who are saying she sounds bad are idiotic. Is it better then Barbra's? NO. But does that mean you have to say it sounds bad? No.
I totally agree. She did an amazing tribute to the beautiful Barbra Streisand.
Not better but real close. She has done my man before and was the best. This was a little off
Artie Oliverio Its live😐
People are SO insecure about their love for Barbra that they absolutely have to remind everyone that Barbra is better, even though NO point has been made about Lea outclassing Barbra, and even though the sole purpose of this performance is to pay a tribute to Barbra.

You can't blame her. Lea tried firing one of the extras, not knowing that extra is Barbara's niece
Um, WHY? She is a grown woman who can decide on her own what she wants to do. If you ever get a tribute then you can decide how to respond. I don't know that much about Barbra but I believe she is a very reserved person. She has lived in privacy, out of the public light for quite a long time. You have no idea if she does that for anyone.
She's a boradway singer. This is a live perfomance. I love her.
Cannot wait for her in Funny Girl.
i watch this all the time and im blown away each time. she's such a talented woman ugh i aspire to have a voice like her someday
I come back to this every few months 💜
What a talent ♥
I am speachless...I love this performance on glee and I never thought she will be able to reproduce that performance in LIVE...But she did it,and did it perfectly,perhaps even better than on glee...Wonderful.
I feel if anyone can be near to barbra's talent it has to be Lea.
I loved reading the part in Lea's book when she talked about this night.
Lydia .inplainsight131 I had no clue she wrote a book
(Isn't that julien)
This my favorite song she has sung on Glee, all the emotion just OMG. So Amazing.
Although I love Barbra's version more this is phenomenal
Brooklyn Baby both Barbra's and Whitney's version are breath taking, but I love Lea's as well myself.
First of all, stunning. Second of all, Lea looked like she was gonna throw up, pass out, or break down in tears at any moment, especially when she walked up to the mic and when she left the stage. She looked incredibly nervous, and considering the nerves when performing in front of the person you have idolized for most of your life, she did a spectacular job. Is she as phenomenal as Barbra? no. Is anyone? no. Should people be comparing the two based on talent? No because everyone's personal preference is different and they come from two different but extremely similar worlds. They have very similar back stories, but they have different sounds. Barbra is way more experienced because of the time she started singing and because of her experiences. I'm sorry this was an essay, but it needed to be said.
Wow, she is so amazing. I'm almost cried.
Lea michele did amazing tribute to Barbara stretisand this was beautiful
Still gives me goosebumps. Awe, she's so so good!!!
Wow she is wonderful... Lea Michel I love you!!!!!!!
I just
I can't stop watching this
Such a strong voice...
People saying her voice is irritating are delusional. She is one of the most incredible singers of this generation, not like these auto tuned idiots singing about a load of shit and making money for crap! People also saying her milking the death of her boyfriend and their relationship was fake is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard! You can clearly see from the way they spoke about each other in interviews ect and when you seen pictures of them together and her public reaction when she accepted an award of how much she loved him! I would like to see you try and sing a song like this even remotely well and not be slightly nervous when singing in front of your idol! I love the way she has dealt with this, I don't think many people could say they thought their boyfriend was the greatest man ect after how he died from such a preventable way. She is so brave to stand up like that in front of everyone, I couldn't talk about it to people I have never even met! She doesn't even mention the fact of how he died but how he lived which is how he should be remembered for the decent lovely person that he seemed to be and not for a mistake he made. I don't think he wanted to die!
Don't think he committed suicide, he had addictions that was hard for him to beat. Really don't see how she's milking it. People are asking her about it and seems as though she is trying to move on with her life. If you think she is do nasty then why are you looking at her videos. Yes I'm sure she isn't as nice as she makes out just like everyone is. People have work faces just like she does. You can't deny she has talent because she has an incredible voice. Why would it be public information if anyone was looking for the drug dealer, these types of things happen every day and we don't find out where they came from. I'm sure the drug dealer didn't force him to buy it and overdose. Not interested in getting in an argument with you over this as that is your opinion and I have mine.
MissySampson1 the only thing you're good is talking about nonsense. Lea Michele milking this? she make ONE song about him (if you say so) which is very emotional. It wasn't suicide, it was an addiction that was hard on him. If you hate her so much and think she sucks then why don't you take her place? become a very well known soprano that can hold her notes for a long time. Instead of you judging her for every single thing she does perhaps check your life. you can't say someone sucks when you aren't better than her. some of the artists today can't even compete with her vocally. if you hat Lea then leave. the producers didn't make them date. Lea providing drugs? don't assume anything because you're making an ass of your self. you have no evidence against her so your accusations are false so before you say something stupid know what you are talking about. You're the one that is looking for all drama and the attention so in reality you're the one milking this. Just because your were deprived from attention doesn't mean you have to make negative and false statements against Lea.
MissySampson1 you sick human being! Where the hell did you get the idea that they were only dating for publicity!! They were living together you creep! Also Cory struggled with drugs from the time he was a teenager and Lea tried to help him! So did other people who work on glee. Ryan himself said that Cory came to him and said he wanted to get better! Also where did he get the drugs? No one needs to wonder where he got them. He was in Vancouver for heavens sake! Thats the drug city in Canada! Cory had hook ups in Canada! So no Lea didn't give him the drugs. You are a terrible human being for even saying that!!
+MissySampson1 She is not milking his death for her CD! She wrote one song about him!! She gets asked about him in interviews of course she is going to answer! You're calling her a scuzzy whore but she has done nothing wrong!!! You just don't like her! Also you are milking this! Maybe not for money but or attention!! Also how do you know he didn't get payed to sleep with another man in a porn which I doubt even exists unless you can find me a link. Anyway maybe he could have been bi. The fact that he was sleeping with men (or so you say even though you didn't know him) doesn't mean that he wasn't dating lea! Could have been interested in both. And how can you call him a worthless pile of shit or a scumbag!!!!!!! You didn't even know the guy. I think you get confused when you are writing tour comments and start to think of yourself! People who knew him, people who weren't famous who knew him even before he found fame have said that he was a really nice person and what you don't know is that his mother said that he was going to be supporting a charity in Vancouver to help people overcome drug addictions! The charity head even confirmed himself that he had talked to cory on the phone and he was going to help! Cory was trying to get better and he was trying to help others get better I don't think that makes him a scumbag!
**these comments not tour comments
I will never get tired of coming here and hearing this over and over again
what are you telling, lea's voice is just amazing, she gets one of the best voice in the world im sure, she can hit so many note
In France in my country, she is the most underrated artist ever! She has a magnificent voice, great charisma, she is really pretty she has everything! maybe Musicals is more about stories than songs and voices in France! her albums do not sell well! she is so great that's real talent! and her cover in Glee is even better! She should be in the top 5 artists of our century!
She's amazing. This is in my top favorite songs she did on glee.
sweet jesus do i have chills right now
She is one of the only people in the world apart from Barbra who can belt this song. She’s so talented and adorable, well done Lea ♥️
*She's amazing*
*What an inspiration, love her*
*Flawless*
Lea Michele is so amazingly beautiful, strong, and talented.
This women shes my inspiration. Not only in music, which she inspires more than you can imagine. But in life in general, the way she handled Cory's death and kept her poise in interviews talking about him. She inspires me to be a better women and to try to meet my dreams. I am forever grateful for Lea and thank god that I have found such an inspiration
Well sung...nobody can beat streisand...perfect
She should have been selected to do the roll of Fanny Brice in the recent revival of FUNNY GIRL.
boy do I have news for you
She did
Thats just perfect, Lea is perfect...
The only reason people are calling Lea a bad singer is cuz Barbra's a legend, i personally think lea's better, cuz if u go by musically not by preference, she is the better singer,
Wrong, Barbra's Technique & Voice From A PROFFESIONAL & VOCAL Standpoint Is Better Than Hers
Chris Houston lool hold on i was thinking of another singer people compare lea too when i said 'musically and not by preference' i still think Lea's better than Barbra, but that wasn't met for her
***** No Lea Michele is technically better. Barbra was a great singer, but her tone was very breathy for the most part. Noted that during her career, that was a favoured type of sound, it still isn't always technically right for the song.. Barbra was fabulous, I have no argument with that. But if we are speaking of technic, I would have to argue that Lea Michele wins there.
LMAO From A Technical Standpoint & From A Proffesional Standpoint Barbra Is Better levi ryland
Chris Houston and levi ryland it matters, think about it, in terms of technique, lea might be since of all her practice, and most people think barbar is so perfect cuz in her time she was really famous, but singing has developed...
I got chills at the end with she sang Forever More. Goosebumps
The fact that she sounds even better than in her studio recording amazes me.
A tribute really wonderful. Great, Lea! I love you!
She’ll be singing this in every performance of the “Funny Girl” revival on Broadway starting September-wonder why she wasn’t cast right from the start? Her entire career has led to this moment! 🤩
this song actually isn't in the musical unfortunately. only the movie version.
@@lily__e I hope they try adding it for Lea.
@@lily__e wait, really?
Unfortunately it was the wrong timing in her life because of all of the controversy about her horrible nature. That’s my opinion there’s no way that she shouldn’t have been cast right from the start. Can’t wait to see it.
BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO . LEA, YOU ARE LOVED. STANDING OVATION A MUST
