Barbra Streisand Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway — Page 2

Yes, that rumor that she "recorded the score" is so dumb. It's like someone just said it out of wishful thinking and it became true. And, how ridiclous would it look, her lip synching to tracks that were recorded 30 years ago?

That version of At the Ballet is simply atrocious. The reworked dialogue is painful. Barbra's voice, no longer like butter, sounds guttural at this point.

And, I'm sorry, but Daisy Ridley seems to have no grasp of what the song is about.

Terrible, terrible.

Many of these movie stars (Patrick Wilson, Hugh Jackman, Antonio Banderas) are or were (the late Anthony Newley) also Broadway stars.

Michael Urie isn't exactly a Broadway or movie star, though a duet would have been fun. Maybe "On the Street Where you Live..." would have been appropriate :)

Is that really Barbra on the cover or her wax figure from Madame Tussaud's?

Target exclusive has 4 more songs - Not A Day Goes By, Losing My Mind, Fifty Percent and I Didn't Know What Time It Was. I don't these are duets

Agreed, I'm more excited about the 4 bonus tracks than I am about the songs on the main disc and the bizarre singing partners. Bette Midler and Neil Diamond (Jazz Singer) should've been on the recording - not Chris Pine, Alec Baldwin, Melissa McCarthy - serious what was this chick thinking??

The dialogue is pure camp heaven, but I think the track itself sounds good. I suppose we can't begrudge Barbra for stealing the number - it's her record - and that's what the ladies at Target have paid for. She probably should have taken Bebe's lines instead of Sheila's but maybe that was too close for home for her.

kl;ho

The four extras are better than anything on the regular release. Congrats to Babs for going #1. Not bad for a 74 year old singing Broadway songs. There is a solo version of Loving You floating around. I posted the link for it in another post.

Love the CD- Love At The Ballet and all of the others- the Target extra songs are heaven- I absolutely recommend this CD- it is 5 star- and best Barbra album since The Broadway Album.
