Streisand Question

What is your favorite Song, Album, Movie, and TV Special from this legendary woman who did too little on Broadway? Also is there anyone who actually does not think she is that good?

My fav song is probably "I'm the Greatest Star" from Funny Girl. Favorite movie is a toss up between Hello, Dolly! and The Prince of Tides (I know...one extreme to the other!)

Favorite Song: "Lover, Come Back to Me" - THE SECOND BARBRA STREISAND ALBUM (1963)

Favorite Album: THE SECOND BARBRA STREISAND ALBUM (1963)

Favorite Broadway Song: (In this case a Broadway-type song): "How Lucky Can You Get?" from FUNNY LADY (1975)

Favorite Film: THE PRINCE OF TIDES

Favorite TV Special: MY NAME IS BARBRA (1965)

I think "On a Clear Day" is one of my favorites by her. Even though I don't always care to hear her singing pop music I like the "Guilty" album and the soundtrack from "A Star is Born". And they are actually the only two albums (Yes, on vinyl) that I own by her. And even thoighy I don't own more of her recordings, I do think that she is the voice of our time. JMO

Oh my God, I forgot about Stoney End (I never wanted to go!!) I do love that song.

I love "Left In The Dark"

STONEY END for sure. The rest is way too hard

Fav. Song: Happy Days Are Here Again (love the duet she does with Judy Garland too).

Fav. Broadway Song: My Man and Putting It Together

Fav. Album: Does Funny Girl count?

Fav. Movie: Funny Girl

Favorite Film......."Hello, Dolly!"

Favorite Album.......that's a hard one........"Simply Streisand" is wonderful, as is most of her earlier stuff. Not to say that her later albums aren't wonderful....they are. Her earlier stuff is extraordinary.

TV Special......"My Name Is Barbra" & "Color Me Barbra."

There are those who love to bash her.......for whatever reason. However, I feel that they do that, because it's the "double standard" issue that has been since the beginning of time. If a man is assertive, that's a good thing. If it's a woman.....she's controlling. If he's a ball buster, she's a B****. Streisand broke the mold of women "staying in their place." Men are supposed to be obsessed with their work. Yet, the only thing that that a woman can be obsessed about is a man?

I've worked with Barbra several times throughout the years. She's the ultimate professional, she knows what she wants, she expects the same level of professionalism in her work and couldn't have been more nicer and kinder to me.

If Barbra where a man, no one would be asking this question. Again, the double standard thing...

Case in point........why is it that women in Hollywood are always put under the microscope when it comes to their weight, appearance, age, etc. You never hear a man being judged that way??

BrodyFosse123.....it's the truth. Plain and simple. And, if my response is too long, then don't read it.

She hasn't been schlepping them.....all women have.

song- When the Sun Comes out

B'way Song- The music That Makes Me Dance

TV Special- My Name Is Barbra

Fave song: "The Woman in the Moon" (A Star is Born, which is my fave movie with her)

Since the original poster asked, I do not like Streisand as a performer. I was once offered a free ticket to a Detroit concert. My reply is unprintable.
