where Barbra beats Carol hands down

I do love that last 30 seconds. Am looking forward to it in surround sound.

wow, i cant hear it cuz i dont have speakers at work, and ive never heard the cd or seen the movie or even the musical. I must be missing out. lol

Don't let Dollypop fool you. This outrage over "That Streisand Woman" is all an act. He once gave a glowing review on her performance in "Funny Girl" on the other message board.

No one can deny that Streisand has got the vocal pipes over Channing. Channing gives a more theatrical performance. I like them both for different reasons.

I think Dollypop is just bitter than Carol Channing was not chosen to recreate HER ROLE on film. That has nothing to do with Barbra's talent; he seems to just think that she was miscast (which I would have to agree with on some level).
But let's take into consideration that even if it hadn't been Barbra, producers did not want Carol for the film version. I said this in another thread....before Barbra came along, Producers wanted Elizabeth Taylor! At least Barbra can sing, cause God knows Liz can't (even though she's a great actress). They would have been doubing her voice.

Yes, Lucy was also considered for the role of Dolly. Another one who can't sing well. "Hey look me over! Lend me an ear!" ahhhh

More stupid facts, Carol Burnett was considered for Funny Girl (the Broadway version obviously) until Barbra auditioned. They said Barbra looked (or at least had the personality) of the real Fanny Brice.
