I'm not sure people realize what a phenomenon she was in the 60s. My parents took us to see Funny Girl when we were just kids in 1968. I still remember us sitting there with our jaws on the floor - this broad could sing, dance, comedy, tragedy like no one else. Still incredible even 50 years later.
+Dave Glo I saw it when it first came out, too. I remember at the end of "Parade" thinking, "Oh my God, how did she _do_ that???" I was impressed as hell with that last camera shot, too. What a great spot to break for an intermission.
No one should be hating on Barbra! She is probably one of the most amazing singers in history. I am sure Lea Michele would also agree with me. Barbra paved the way more all these new artist in this generation. Stop hating on the queen.
DO THEY TRULY HATE HER??? ... PERHAPS THEY ARE SIMPLY JUST JEALOUS OF THE FACT THAT SHE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS, ACTRESSES, HUMANITARIAN AND PHILANTHROPISTS OF HER TIME?
im so thankful for Glee, if it wasnt for the show, i wouldnt know any of these great songs from Barbra, or all of the other show tunes. im 19, and im in love with show tunes now =)
This woman is so amazing, a phenomenon ... really!! She may be in retirement now, but given the right vehicle, that amazing talent would bubble up and charm us all senseless again. I have all her albums and films of which “On A Clear Day” is my all time favorite. LOVE YOU FOREVER MS. STREISAND!!!!!
Barbara Streisand you are a ravishingly beautiful lady with the most magnificent voice & acting talent. No one can ever replace you in Funny Girl, 100% impossible!!!
I love the bit where she sings "if someone takes a spill it's me and not you" and does that dismissive head shake. Really shows those women who's boss!
To me, Glee recognizes great songs that no one ever pays attention to anymore. If it weren't for Glee, I wouldn't be watching this at the moment and discovering new music that I never thought I liked.
Have you ever watched people who love what they do? They work with a smile on their faces or a song in their hearts they move with grace and ease. They attend carefully and lovingly to every little detail. When you love your work, it like a love affair. You do it beautiful with a passion and thank you. Peace
no i don't i understand the frustration in her voice when people r telling her that she can't do this and that but no anger, anger is a much too negative word
Barbra's breath control is legendary and her heads tones are completely unique. song. But I've always been intrigued by her amazing vibrato. It's off-the-charts crazy. How the hell does she hold a steady vibrato on words with closed vowels, like parade?" I don't hear anybody else do that when they sing this song.
The reason I love this so much and what makes Streisand such an icon is the fact that she adds so much character into her songs, she doesn't simply sing them or add extra stuff to make it sounds a lot more impressive than it really is. She has character, strong and true.
I can understand some of you prefer Lea Michele's cover than Barbra's but do not say Lea sings better than Barbra even though y'all know everything in Glee is prerecorded and edited with a better sound quality. I've heard three Lea's performances of this song LIVE and it is enough to agree with what I'm saying. There's a lot of videos about Barbra's effortless technique and uniqueness voice you can watch and compare with the Glee girl.
You are aware that the performance in this clip is also prerecorded and edited, right? It's a movie musical made in the '60s. Nothing you're hearing is live.
John Suh but studio technology now is far more advanced and Lea’s voice could’ve been manipulated a lot more, there is only so much they could’ve done to Barbara’s voice ...
Barbra cannot be compared too, period end of discussion 💁🏻 If anyone imagines, let alone thinks, Lea Michelle can sing better than, or comparative too my Barbra well.... they have lived a very uncultured life... I’m sure this Lea is a wonderful lady and what not and I’m also sure Glee was a good show, after all, it had more than one season. I couldn’t be bothered to watch any of them but again, I’m sure it was a lovely show 💁🏻 And I will thank everyone to know I don’t enjoy the look of a semicolon
and to ms.buenoaires, bob dylan is a genius. that's the thing about a lot of these young singers today. their voices are so manufactured. there's nothing gritty or forceful or real there anymore, and it breaks my heart. you have no idea how beautiful this song is until you see the movie and understand what happens to this character before and after this scene. it speaks volumes in just a few lines.
@BittenApplefilms by far Barbara is one of the best actresses/singers. I totally agree with you. It's sad that people idolize some of the "stars" out there today, and talk crap about the real ones who made classics.
The haters are just jealous they will never burn as brightly or enjoy a destiny as magical, poetic and full of passion and love and artistry as she has commanded. Poor pathetic fools. Barbara was and is a gift to humanity.
i think glee is fantastic and i think its a tribute that young people are still singing these songs it shows the songs' staying power - these are classics and always will be
I have to say, lea michele seriously rocked this song. barbra's vibrato makes it a more timely piece, and lea's jazzy vocals make it so much more contemporary broadway. both are phenomenal. i see soo much potential for lea to become the next barbra streisand. i see it happening.
Toll 😃!!! Zu DDR-Zeiten wurde Barbra Streisand im TV ausgestrahlt, ua. "Yentl" ua Musicals mit ihr u Omar Sharif, zB. . Seid dieser Zeit war ich ein Fan von Ihr. Ihre kraftvolle Stimme und unglaubliche Ausstrahlung zogen mich in ihren Bann. Ich habe sie immer bewundert und fand sie toll!! Zu Recht ist sie eine der ganz großen Sängerinnen unserer Zeit!
Barbra is incredible!!! I have loved her for a long time and always will. Lea Michele also did an amazing cover of this, and I am SO grateful to Lea and to Glee for bringing attention to classics like this! They are both amazing, talented women! =)
HA ,,,,, yeah, sure we'd 🤣 ALL love to sing like Bab's Streisand 👍& get her payday!!! Unfortunately, most of us do not have an opera singer for a mommy!!! So, it's in her DNA. As is Bab's younger half sibling sister Roslyn Kind. Same mommy!!! Sis has a great voice. Been in show biz all her life. Also, Bab's son supposedly sings. Although I've never heard him. Unsure if Bab's (full) brother sings. He sure is the spitting image of their dad. He died when both kids were very young. Also learned the step-father was horribly mean to Barbra. So shameful 😞
She is such an inspiration, both, Barbra and Lea are my idol. No debate.🚫 I love them both! I have a dream of being on Broadway as well as they did. I'm theatrical too. This Is me! This is how I express myself. Through the music! My mom doesn't really like the music I play. But, who gives a hoot. I'm gonna kill this song and I know it. Funny Girl is one of the greatest Broadway Musicale yet. It's simply amazing. And Of course Glee is helping me out. Ya know getting where I need to be in life. I'm still struggling with Cory's death... Though its been some years. Its still hard for me ya know. And just imagine how Lea is doing. But, back on topic... Barbra and Lea thought me to except myself. Remember... I've got 36 expressions. And yes.... I'm The Greatest Star... I am By far. But no one knows it. Don't tell me not to live, just sit in putter. But for the people who think I won't succeed..."Don't Rain On My Parade!'👌😘
a fantastic cinematic achievement! and a pretty good vocal achievement as well. 25 seconds of uninterrupted train footage capturing long-shot footage zeroing in on a singing character. this is followed up by a 1 minute plus uninterrpted shot from a helicoptor starting at a great distance, zooming in to a closeup on our lead character who is singing, then to a pull-away shot. fantastic filmmaking! kudos to the director.
How about A Piece of Sky, from Yentl?? Every time I watch that clip here on TH-cam, I still get goosebumps!! But yes, this is outstanding, also. There will never be another singer like Barbra!
ok,truth,La Streisand is STILL up there in the highest echelons of "greats",even tho she has churned out some real howlers down the years,and thi strack proves why!
isn't this awesome! this movie is a classic. the shots, the editing...tailored to the song. not bad for a girl from brooklyn! who knew? you just do not see films showcasing artist like this anymore.
hmmm. .. I have been listening to the glee one and this one and I think they're both brilliant in their own way. They both put they're own style in and have their own highlights :)
The main thing I would comment on between Lea's and Barbra's voices is that, sure Lea has a prettier voice... but Barbra knows the style the song was written in. You can really hear how she swings her notes where she's supposed to. The rhythm is so much more jazzy (somewhat of a triplet feel), and Lea almost sings it as if it were written to be sung as a dotted eighth and sixteenth tied together. Overall, they're both fantastic performers. I would never dare place one above the other.
I like your saying Lea sings it, Barbra performs it. Bingo! Barbra and her voice were destined for show business with all the color, drama and theatrics. What a performer Babs is. I was a freshman in college when her album My Name is Barbra was released. And it’s just as thrilling to hear these songs today as it was back in the 1960s. A simply stunning career she’s had. And now, finally, her memoir.
I'm not sure people realize what a phenomenon she was in the 60s. My parents took us to see Funny Girl when we were just kids in 1968. I still remember us sitting there with our jaws on the floor - this broad could sing, dance, comedy, tragedy like no one else. Still incredible even 50 years later.
+Dave Glo I saw it when it first came out, too. I remember at the end of "Parade" thinking, "Oh my God, how did she _do_ that???" I was impressed as hell with that last camera shot, too. What a great spot to break for an intermission.
Agree. PERFECTION. Intelligent, beautiful, and good human being, too.
She is a gift to all of us.
My mom took me when I was 8 years old oh my God we lived in Jersey City I said to myself who is this she is going to be a majorMovie Star
I cried when she sang My Man
No one should be hating on Barbra!
She is probably one of the most amazing singers in history.
I am sure Lea Michele would also agree with me.
Barbra paved the way more all these new artist in this generation.
Stop hating on the queen.
DO THEY TRULY HATE HER??? ... PERHAPS THEY ARE SIMPLY JUST JEALOUS OF THE FACT THAT SHE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS, ACTRESSES, HUMANITARIAN AND PHILANTHROPISTS OF HER TIME?
Who’s hating her?
im so thankful for Glee, if it wasnt for the show, i wouldnt know any of these great songs from Barbra, or all of the other show tunes. im 19, and im in love with show tunes now =)
I realize I'm getting you 10 years later it's all relative and I love your comment. I remember when these movies were just coming out.
No, you are 31...lol. Barbra was the best, saw Funny Girl 29 times IN A THEATRE! Many yrs ago.
xD I learned this song from Mrs. Doubtfire
nobody can touch her. Many have tried. They all fall short.
AGREE
barbara in her hey day.....nobody,nobody,nobody cld touch her n she knew it...the vocals,the it factor...untouchable..
Lea Michelle dod good..
for sure One of the best voices of her generation
@@adventures2roblox195 She did good, but Barbra trumps them
All!
lea Michele made me love this song live long Barbra
Same
Shes still alive so wdym “live long”
@@Kendrabonilla1234 She was talking about Barbra. “Live long Barbra.”
Her character is Lea in real life... selfish, unprofessional, pain in the bum.
This woman is so amazing, a phenomenon ... really!! She may be in retirement now, but given the right vehicle, that amazing talent would bubble up and charm us all senseless again. I have all her albums and films of which “On A Clear Day” is my all time favorite.
LOVE YOU FOREVER MS. STREISAND!!!!!
Classic Streisand. The girl from Glee deserves credit, but doesn't approach Streisand's passion and brilliance.
no matter what people say or think it`ll be always Barbra`s song , no one can match her on this job, so classic!
one of the best performances in a musical film, ever.
"I'll MAKE it right for him!!" Love Fanny 😂😂
Vitaemins yasssss Fanny
Barbara Streisand you are a ravishingly beautiful lady with the most magnificent voice & acting talent.
No one can ever replace you in Funny Girl, 100% impossible!!!
I love the bit where she sings "if someone takes a spill it's me and not you" and does that dismissive head shake. Really shows those women who's boss!
Играет роль - как свою жизнь. Поёт - как дышит. Когда ещё человечество увидит такое чудо?
She can tell a story just with her voice. Impeccable, beautiful, timeless...
Babs...Just like Butta !
One of kind...She is the Gold Standard.
👏👏👏😊👍❤️🥂🇨🇦
To me, Glee recognizes great songs that no one ever pays attention to anymore. If it weren't for Glee, I wouldn't be watching this at the moment and discovering new music that I never thought I liked.
She is the greatest singer that ever lived. How many singers can hit these notes! Beautiful!
Have you ever watched people who love what they do? They work with a smile on their faces or a song in their hearts they move with grace and ease. They attend carefully and lovingly to every little detail. When you love your work, it like a love affair. You do it beautiful with a passion and thank you. Peace
+Anita Loyd You understand the anger and rage in this song, right?
+Eliezer Pennywhistler 😒
+Kaila Hutcherson What about you? Do YOU understand the anger and rage in this song?
no i don't i understand the frustration in her voice when people r telling her that she can't do this and that but no anger, anger is a much too negative word
@@kailapark7965 ANGRY,NO ... DETERMINED AND ASSERTIVE.
To the artists, past, present & future, there will only be one Barbra!
Nothing's better than Barbara Streisand singing "Don't Rain on my Parade". Fantastic
Barbra's breath control is legendary and her heads tones are completely unique. song. But I've always been intrigued by her amazing vibrato. It's off-the-charts crazy. How the hell does she hold a steady vibrato on words with closed vowels, like parade?" I don't hear anybody else do that when they sing this song.
They had never seen ANYTHING like that in Hollywood at the time, and nothing since. PHENOMENAL Motion Picture Debut!!
Nobody deserves to be SO Talented as Ms. Streisand....incredible.
And the Oscar goes to...
+Bubble Boy ..me
Streisand barbra Streisand wooo wooo woooo woooo woooo wooo wooo wooo woooo Barbra Streisand wooo wooo wooooo woo woo woooo 🎶
its a tie!?!
She has the most beautiful tones and colors in her voice. Her sound is flawless!
A star was born
The reason I love this so much and what makes Streisand such an icon is the fact that she adds so much character into her songs, she doesn't simply sing them or add extra stuff to make it sounds a lot more impressive than it really is. She has character, strong and true.
Nothing compares to this - she is a gift for us all and glad I got to see her in concert 5 times!
Nobody can beat barbara but what glee does is bring the classics back to younger audiences. that's what's great about the show.
What a show stopper! There are only two words one can say after that: Holy Shit!!!!
sent shivers down my spine. Excellent performance by mrs. Streisand!!
I can understand some of you prefer Lea Michele's cover than Barbra's but do not say Lea sings better than Barbra even though y'all know everything in Glee is prerecorded and edited with a better sound quality.

I’m sure this Lea is a wonderful lady and what not and I’m also sure Glee was a good show, after all, it had more than one season. I couldn’t be bothered to watch any of them but again, I’m sure it was a lovely show 💁🏻
And I will thank everyone to know I don’t enjoy the look of a semicolon
she’s not just the glee girl lol she sounds a lot like barbara i don’t think we need to discredit either ine of them
Barbara Streisand is incomparable to ANYONE! Bless You Barbara! One of the all time greats!
such an amazing woman, Barbra is 😍
and to ms.buenoaires, bob dylan is a genius. that's the thing about a lot of these young singers today. their voices are so manufactured. there's nothing gritty or forceful or real there anymore, and it breaks my heart. you have no idea how beautiful this song is until you see the movie and understand what happens to this character before and after this scene. it speaks volumes in just a few lines.
If a genie appeared from a magic lamp and granted me one wish, I would wish to sing with such power and passion.
She's a force of nature.
Fantastic film. I love Barbra Streisand, all her films and all her music.
@BittenApplefilms by far Barbara is one of the best actresses/singers. I totally agree with you. It's sad that people idolize some of the "stars" out there today, and talk crap about the real ones who made classics.
Ah-mazing! I just love Barbra Streisand! She is one of my idols! Hello Dolly is one of my favorite musicals of alll time!!!!
The Best
The haters are just jealous they will never burn as brightly or enjoy a destiny as magical, poetic and full of passion and love and artistry as she has commanded. Poor pathetic fools. Barbara was and is a gift to humanity.
This is a truly electrifying song and Streisand makes it crack like a whip
i think glee is fantastic and i think its a tribute that young people are still singing these songs it shows the songs' staying power - these are classics and always will be
quel talent quel plaisir de la voir et de l'ecouter
You know when a star has reached a certain level of quality when a role is virtually completely inseparable from them...this is Barbra's role.
I have to say, lea michele seriously rocked this song. barbra's vibrato makes it a more timely piece, and lea's jazzy vocals make it so much more contemporary broadway. both are phenomenal. i see soo much potential for lea to become the next barbra streisand. i see it happening.
Leaha.....compared to this is at best a c minus. To compare a singer who is one of the greatest to a mime....Leah, is astoundingly tragic.
Well said...and this is the signature moment of that role- especially that final Wyler zoom-in-pullback at the end.
Toll 😃!!!
Zu DDR-Zeiten wurde Barbra Streisand im TV ausgestrahlt, ua. "Yentl" ua Musicals mit ihr u Omar Sharif, zB. .
Seid dieser Zeit war ich ein Fan von Ihr.
Ihre kraftvolle Stimme und unglaubliche Ausstrahlung zogen mich in ihren Bann.
Ich habe sie immer bewundert und fand sie toll!!
Zu Recht ist sie eine der ganz großen Sängerinnen unserer Zeit!
Glee brought me here, too! Both such AMAZINGLY talented ladies! Inspiration!
For some reasons lots of ppl do not like Lea Michelle 😕
This woman is incomparable. Legend!!!!
Barbra is incredible!!! I have loved her for a long time and always will. Lea Michele also did an amazing cover of this, and I am SO grateful to Lea and to Glee for bringing attention to classics like this! They are both amazing, talented women! =)

Can’t believe she will sing in London this summer!!!
Lea has a great voice, but no one can sing like Barbra.
I absolutely LOVE her :]

I've never read something I relate to more
I am OBSESSED with her
She is the BEST!!!!❤ A national treasure!!
a fantastic cinematic achievement! and a pretty good vocal achievement as well. 25 seconds of uninterrupted train footage capturing long-shot footage zeroing in on a singing character. this is followed up by a 1 minute plus uninterrpted shot from a helicoptor starting at a great distance, zooming in to a closeup on our lead character who is singing, then to a pull-away shot. fantastic filmmaking! kudos to the director.
She is everything........simply everything!
You should watch the entire movie! It's so fantastic!!
Barbra Streisand is legend. Period!
i had no idea that i loved Barbra until i finally sat down and watched some of her stuff.
she really is the Real Deal.
WOW.
love this movie sooo sooo sooo much!!
i love to watch it
and sing along with it!!
I remember my mom taking us kids to see Funny Girl...& 'Parade' was awe inspiring as only Barbra Streisand could do...
wow, wonderful. Barbra has one of the most incredible voices of her time
BWAHAHAHAH finally! A full version of the movie version of Parade! It exists! Thank you.
The Best Entertainer Female of All time #1

Extraordinary :) one of the best musical theatre songs written
Love it.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Happy 75 Birthday to the greatest star by far!
How about A Piece of Sky, from Yentl?? Every time I watch that clip here on TH-cam, I still get goosebumps!! But yes, this is outstanding, also. There will never be another singer like Barbra!

I wish we could enjoy classics such as this one in today’s generation love this movie
isn't this awesome!
this movie is a classic.
the shots, the editing...tailored to the song.
not bad for a girl from brooklyn!
who knew?
you just do not see films showcasing artist like this anymore.
GREAT MOVIE AND MY FAVORITE
Quelle magnifique performance !!
Absolutely brilliant
I want this to be the musical my school does next year.... SO BADLY!!!
I love this movie, I love Barbra Streisand. . .
I've heard Rachel on Glee and was amazing. But hearing now Barbara is just incredible. I like both very much, I can't chose just one ^^
hmmm. .. I have been listening to the glee one and this one and I think they're both brilliant in their own way. They both put they're own style in and have their own highlights :)
Absolutely peerless ❤❤❤
Hey Mr.Arnstein here I am!!
sarah heart RUN, BARBARA, RUN!!!!!
I loved this song so much when it was out I saw the movie then bought the record.I listen then sang it.Its something special just like Barbara is.
one of the best singers ever. if you want to study music, she is a great idol!!
Oh gosh, I haven't seen this movie in forever.
I loooveee Barbra :D
NOTHING nothing BEATS BABS!!!!
Lea Michele..
YAAAS babs will always do the best version of this song :)
This song made me fall in love with Streisand in 2004...I was 17.
GREATEST FEMALE SINGER WE HAVE EVER HAD, AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED-- LOTS OF GREAT SINGERS OUT THERE, BUT NONE LIKE THIS
simply amazing
barbra streisand is so talented
Seriously, no one can sing this better than Barbra. I mean she owns this song!
Don't get me wrong, I love Lea, but you can't argue with classics :)
The main thing I would comment on between Lea's and Barbra's voices is that, sure Lea has a prettier voice... but Barbra knows the style the song was written in. You can really hear how she swings her notes where she's supposed to. The rhythm is so much more jazzy (somewhat of a triplet feel), and Lea almost sings it as if it were written to be sung as a dotted eighth and sixteenth tied together.
Overall, they're both fantastic performers. I would never dare place one above the other.
I noticed that! Good ear
Lea is singing it, Barbra is performing it! I don’t think her voice is prettier, she isn’t adding the inflictions needed to portray it correctly.
I like your saying Lea sings it, Barbra performs it. Bingo! Barbra and her voice were destined for show business with all the color, drama and theatrics. What a performer Babs is. I was a freshman in college when her album My Name is Barbra was released. And it’s just as thrilling to hear these songs today as it was back in the 1960s. A simply stunning career she’s had. And now, finally, her memoir.
Again I keep playing this video, love this song!
