  • She reminds me of The Nanny

  • she ruined the song

  • Good singing from the audince but, sadly, they are not using the correct words - Robbie Burns will be turning in his grave at this American screw up of the original Scottish version....no Scot would ever say "in days of old lang syne!" At least they were fine at the end with "For auld lang syne" instead of "For the sake of auld lang syne" which English people stupidly and incorrectly sing every time - that's wrong, too! For heavens sake - it's enough to make a Scotsman choke on his haggis!

  • she never gets old. she is truly a beautiful and amazing lady who stands tall and firm in her beliefs and keeps faith with herself, her family and her friends.

    if only everyone was as beautiful as she is......

  • This Gal is great and a fine lady with a perfect voice

    Barbara has a favorite of mine since 1960 or thereabouts.

  • This Gal is great and a fine lady with a perfect vice.

  • Good grief, you people are nuts. It is the music and song and how it is performed.

  • SHE IS UGLY

  • Very original duet!

  • lol horrible

  • What a rotten sack of shit

  • I have sent my dear friend in Scotland this video over the years, including this year. She approves I think *wink May*

  • Way to ruin one of the best traditional Christmas songs ever...leave it to Barb...

  • @imanoutkast yup there you go... insult the greatest voice ever heard on this planet.. very smart

  • Comment removed

  • Auld Lang Syne is a simple, heart felt moving tune.

    This failed.

  • she's got talent as big as her noise :D

  • Maybe you'll enjoy Brand New Year ~ Euclid Beach Band 1978 right here on youtube

  • i think im gonna be sick at the start she sang the wrong words(pukes on the floor)

    robbie must be regreting to let this happen

  • it's wonderful!

  • Next time a canon . . .

  • Didn't like it :S

  • I like very much this performance. Especially this part with 13000 people!

    I listen, and hear it very often. With tears in my eyes. Always...

    I love You Barbra Streisand.

  • um EWWWWWW

    robbie is turning over in his grave.

    DISLIKE

  • i am scottish and i almost found that insulting! :O

  • @ezzypopx so did i. i felt sick after this

  • thats what you call a fkin joke

  • Jings, crivens n help ma boab! whit a pile o keek!

  • What ev, its Barbra. She can do what she likes.

  • how dare she.....

  • When you sing two songs at the same time, it really sucks. Auld lang syne is one of my all time favorite songs and this would have sounded so perfect if everyone sung it at the same melody. Including the croud.

  • wtf

    ruined it completely........

  • Rabbie Burns's .......we love you....your poetry and your words

    here's' to you

    fa's like us

    damn few an their a deid

  • To the people going on about how Robert Burns wrote this song please stop.

    He is NOT the original composer, but only popularized and is the reason why it is well know, but author he is not.

    In fact this song first came to about 30 years before Robert was even born.

    Just thought I should let you know.

  • He may not have composed it, but he rescued it and put it down on paper, oh and by the way, he did write some of the verses.

    If there's one thing that gets my goat about people singing this song is when they sing it wrong. It's Auld Lang Syne (Ph: sign) not Zyne!

    And also, if anyone is interested the last part of the chorus and verses is "and auld lang syne" not "and days of..." and definitely not "for the sake of...". Grrr!

  • @jagga85 We learnt at school that it was written as a poem originally by Rabbie Burns in 1788 and was put to the tune of the tradditional folk song, Roud. So he kind of did write it!

  • poor

  • utter pish, she ruined a classic tune by a great fellow scot

  • This almost makes you believe that this notoriously mean human being is kind.

  • how is she known for being mean?

  • Happy New Year, friend!

    ;-)

  • what crap! Totally ruined a historic poem.

  • The great Scotsman poet who wrote the song, was he from the 1700s by chance, named Robert Burns?

  • Yes, you are correct, I'm amazed so many have forgotten it, generally younger folk, can't say I appreciate B.S. buggering it up.

  • Should old acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind ? Should old acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne ? CHORUS: For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne, we'll take a cup o kindness yet, for auld lang syne. And surely youll buy your pint cup ! And surely Ill buy mine ! And we'll take a cup o kindness yet, for auld lang syne.
  • No nation 'owns' a certain song. That's like saying black people own rap/hip hop or that white people own country music.

  • 'Auld Lang Syne' is a Scottish song, written in the Scottish idiom by Scotland's greatest poet, For that reason, it's fair and reasonable to acknowledge that it's Scottish and that we celebrate the Scots when we sing it.

  • This was written by a Scot, sung ever by Scots till it spread world-wide, Happy New Year Pal, this is a Scottish song. (as DANNY BOY is an Irish song) or Le Marsaielle is French, by the way Bob D ylan invented Rap (It's Alright Ma).

  • Sounds like u need a cup of kindness. Happiness is a choice. I hope u choose to have a Happy New Year.

  • I can't believe my husband and I were actually there! Barbra was beyond magical. It was a very touching evening.

  • Happy new year for Thursday/Friday :)

  • She's amazing. :)

  • she really shouldnt have done that faster counter melody :( she should have sung old lang syne with the audience

  • wHAT KIND of person is she

  • This is Barbara Streisand!!

    She can sing the "odd song", but I have no idea what she was trying to achieve here.

  • Does the audience know the lyrics?

  • Naww there were lyrics on the projection.

  • SHE RUINS THAT SONG!!

  • jo echt zu viel gelaber ... macht das ganze lied kaputt...

  • zu viel gelaber...

  • Mein Gott sieht die Scheisse aus!

  • too much talking...

  • iI know its extremely late but Happy New Year Fae Scotland : o)

  • i know its very late happy new year from south africa

  • In Hungary we sing it at the end of the highschool

  • IF u r SCOTTISH you would no the words!!

    Its one of the best songs 4 new year !!

    Rabbie Burns is the best!!

  • The lyrics are up behind her.

  • She is pretty inside; and she does the best with her features - glad she never gave into plastic surgery - she has her own look. I love this, beautiful voice. This is a very nice - a duet with the audience. She is lovely.

  • it is a little bit late but a happy new year from germany

  • Happy New Year!

  • I know its a bit late, but Happy New Year from the U.K

  • I love "Auld Lang Syne"... check out my vid of "This Time of Year"... it's my favorite new year's song now

  • Happy News Year from Vietnam

  • Happy New Year from Philadelphia, USA!!!

  • Happy New Year from Philadelphia, USA!!!

  • Happy New Year from Taiwan!!!

    Hope you all have a 2009 full on unexpected joy~~~

  • I love her!

  • It's amazing how loosely people through that word around....love.

    No wonder it has lost it's meaning in modern culture.

    You fail...PS: Streisand does not care if you "love" her, as long as you got cash.

  • Just because the word love's lost meaning to you, it doesn't mean the rest of the world feels the same way. Try letting love into your life sometime, it's nicer than being jaded and synical.

  • after you take a Barbra it's very important to wipe your Streisand

  • kiss ma ring streisand fuking satan's spawn

  • I prefer Mairi Campbell on that song!

  • She talks too much

  • this is fuckin awful - Rabbie Burns would be dying in his grave.

    stop this, please

  • i respect her =]

  • Babs is a liberal loon but god do I love her. I've been crushin on her since I was 6 years old.

  • Aquired taste.

  • Barbra Streisand was, is, and will continue to be the classiest of the so-called modern "divas."  She is incomparable. Forget the pretenders, the wannabes, and the media-generated fakes. Open your ears and feast your eyes on the genuine, one-and-only, bona fide best of the best... Barbra.

    `

  • Barbara looks stunning in that satin gown.! The crowd sang well too. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2009 to all. Peace be with you. From Seri Kembangan in Malaysia.

  • HOW ODD WAS THAT?

  • bravomags how did u lose your brothers and sisters

  • oh god, horrible

  • @DeefexNYC

    I don't think it was "HORRIBLE".

    Granted, I think there is so much hype around this woman and I don't know a lot about her to be fair but I don't think this was so bad for her type of crowed and venue.

    I think she did a great job.

  • not for me

    poor robbie would turn his back on this

  • this just reminds me of all the brothers and sisters i lost =(

  • :-!

  • Auld Rabbie woud be turnin in his grave!
