That is why she deserves to make the big bucks!!

She is so relaxed. I think because she is good in putting things in perspective. Hence her humor.

​@@georgegallucci9958 Do you think your remark about this little mistake was absolutely necessary? What a pity you didn't have anything more interesting to say...

Great comment. Thank you

Lovely comment, Judy. I was fortunate enough to see her in 1965 in Funny Girl; as you know, it was a magical (that may be the only word for it) experience, which I'll always cherish. Blessings to you and to all us fans of the greatest star..

I love your story about Barbra ty

Barbra is, first of all, probably the smartest person in that room on an intellectual, curiosity, analytic, and wholistic level. Then, because she has such a rich inner life and therefore unusually in touch with unconscious archetypes that serve as templates for all the major myths, themes, issues, and stories that form the basis of human life, she is a channel or conduit for "material", "stories", that want to "come through" into this world and brought before the human community. This is the definition of creativity and art. If art is "successful", it accurately mirrors us and shows us our face, our hopes, dreams, fears, deepest feelings and search for meaning in this life. It's not artificial or contrived. All that goes to say that Barbra is one of those rare, special people that come along periodically, but not often. Of course she has been called "kooky", "off-beat", "different", etc. That's what identifies her as "from another place." If she was a carbon copy of what everybody else is, she would have nothing extra to offer. Show less

@@willec49 I love how truthful everything you said.

Yes to everything you said. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

@@barbraevergreen Thank you. I guess we both appreciate Barbra's personal attributes as well as her talent and work.

@@willec7105 Yes definitely! I've seen all her interviews and speeches and I'm stunned by her intellectual capacity and her personality. aaaw I just discovered her last year during quarantine and it was the best thing. We the millennials are such in awe of this woman! She can be anything she wants to be.

For me too. When she sings it moves me to tears. There is no-one more wonderful than Barbra. She is a perfectionist, but what is wrong with that. I admire and adore her and have done for 50 years.

Plasser1000. This comes from Yentl. I have the dvd, and it is wonderful. Thanks anyway. Glad you are a fellow fan!

Judy Garland was another singer who can touch your soul with her voice! Just listen!

@Edith Lazenby/ That's a perfect description of Miss Streisand. Not every artist is an intellectual and not every intellectual is an artist. When these two qualities merge the result is genius.

Christopher Rowan Barbra with all do respect isn't the most awarded entertainer of all-time. That honor goes to Michael Jackson with 700 awards and the most awarded female is Whitney Houston with 600+ awards according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

+Marquis Crews Barbra, in terms of various areas of the entertainment business is unparalled in her accomplishments Marquis. She is an award winning actress of both stage and screen, recording artist, concert performer, film director, producer, screenwriter, songwriter, philanthropist, designer, photographer, author and activist. To reiterate, Barbra Streisand is the only entertainer in history to receive an Oscar, Tony, Emmy, Grammy, Golden Globe, Director's Guild of America, National Medal of Arts and Peabody Awards, aswell as France's Legion d'Honneur and the American Film Institutes Lifetime's Achievement Award. Barbra, is infact, the recipient of 2 Oscars, 5 Emmys, 10 Grammys, a Sony, a Tony and 12 Golden Globes including the Cecil B. DeMille Award. She is also the first female director to receive the Kennedy Centre Honours and the three films which she directed included 14 Oscar nominations. .....a feat that even the stupendously talented, beautiful and charismatic Whitney didn't achieve. Michael Jackson, the greatest showman of all time didn't even achieve Barbra's success. With all respect also, you are quoting 'awards' bestowed to Whitney and Michael according to the Guinness Book of World Records..... .....all well and good, but look closely at the Awards. Whitney once was handed an award here in the UK for hairstyle of the decade.... .....When I am quoting Barbra's awards and accolades, it's all about the quality. The awards she has earned are the créme dè la créme of entertainment. Earning an award for best hairstyle is hardly career defining...... Enough said. All the best, Chris (UK).

Christopher Rowan To be clear I was in NO way discrediting Barbra's amazing career and accomplishments I was simply pointing out where you were wrong when you said she was the most awarded entertainer in history. No matter how its twisted that wasn't true. Yes she has won major honors but she isn't the most awarded... Also its not fair to try to discredit Whitney's accomplishments because of one or two silly awards. Whitney had her fair share of Grammys, Emmys, Billboard, AMAs, and awards for her charity works. No doesn't have Kennedy Center Honors due to the fact she passed before her time.

Marquis Crews​ I understand you weren't discrediting Barbra's career Marquis and nor was I discrediting Whitney's fabulous career. On the contrary; Whitney's raw talent was off the scale and she will remain one of the greatest singers the world has ever known...and will ever know. Regarding Whitney's award for best hairstyle - that is a fact and more than I have ever won lol. I was simply highlighting quantity over quality. The most prestigious awards in showbusiness at the very top - Barbra has been awarded them all. I wasn't being argumentative, but there is no other way to dress it up...Barbra is unparalleld in her awards, accolades and achievements. Without question, Whitney would most likely have gone on to receive various awards of the calibre of Barbra, but sadly we'll never know. It's still hard to believe that Whitney passed before her fiftieth birthday....what a talent. Karen Carpenter was another woman blessed with fine chops that passed before her time... On this we'll have to agree to disagree, but thanks for your comment mate. All the best Marquis! Chris (UK).

Christopher Rowan I agree... Sadly I don't even think Whitney herself realized how special her gift was.

I have heard her say she doesn't consider herself a diva - that she doesn't even know what a diva is. She wasn't interested in fame, she was interested in being an artist.

+willec49 -- what a wonderful thing you wrote. We are constantly directed to compromise our lives by our obligations in day-to-day life, by the distractions placed around us to sell us a product or an idea, by the strong suggestions that are given to us to think a certain way. The result is that, unless we return regularly to a meaningful level of awareness, to a broader consciousness, we lose ourselves and forget the great capacity we have to do things that are really worthy of us. The big issues are always there. Thank you for reminding me of that right now.

Indeed!

I 💯 percent agree with you. Not everyone realizes these things about her. She is responsible enough to know what to avoid and stay grounded despite being a super star. I admire her in so many ways.

Thats what I love about her!

Woow i love what you said .

I come back and watch it every so often, too. 🥰

@@BrettTwinSavage Same here. 💕

@@barbraevergreen I just watched it again. 😊

Simply the greatest voice of the 20th century

@Joann Stevens/ She created her own special planet!
