No one can deny her the greatest entertainer title. I do think that as a vocalist, while extraordinary, her talent and the legend of her career/lifestyle get tied together.
Garland was rarely a radio staple, and except for the Carnegie Hall recording, was never really a force in the recording industry. She really only made a handful of albums in her career which is really shocking.
Her early recordings were tied to her MGM contract and her films.
Streisand on the other hand was/is a force in the recording industry, having really an amazing career behind the microphone to this day.
With the sequel to Guilty being readied for release in the fall, I think we are all going to be reminded of the popularity of Streisand as a recording artist.
Does she have the pipes now that she had earlier in her career, of course not, but I don't think one can deny her legendary status as a singer.

The truly beautiful should be lawfully restricted from wearing clothing; and the truly butt-ugly should be lawfully mandated from going naked.
