  • look! it's Mother Focker. 

  • magnifique chanson ' j' adore , superbe voix.

  • Awesome!! Thanks for uploading. Whenever I hear Barbara sing this it takes me back to being a little boy, helping my mom clean the house...haha

  • @danthrplgst

    this means that your mother has a good taste...

  • @vyrtum haha very good taste. I think I was the only guy on my football team that grew up listening to broadway tunes, opera, The Rat Pack and every genre of music from the 40's (my parents teen years) to the 80's n 90's (my teen years).

  • Geez, I thought the song was about cats!

  • I lke susan Boyle rendition better ,it wasn't perfect but full emotion.I got tears fallen down every single time

  • Lindamente cantada. Perfeita

  • 3:01: then my soul just like flying to touch her..

  • @domburtje is the best part

  • Betty Buckley where art thou...

  • Another overwrought rendition by Ms Barbra. Paging Yentl!

  • @Garmct I really like Betty Buckley, I am certain she would agree that comments with racist connotations attempting to diminish Barbra as a means to artificially elevate Betty from an honorable place in the "Best of" living female Singers would have no place in her presence and likely would have had you removed from any stage she was performing on.

  • @Garmct A beautiful song rendered in Barbra's great style. She does it well and it is very gentle on the ears and tugs at your heart strings. Fantastic, This is one of the selections I drift off to sleep with.every night. Thank you. Shogunsama

  • the barbara girl sings this song like she wrote it and lives it. my eyebrows dance all over the place listening to it as i sense her emotion. she has the most beautiful voice EVVVVER, cornelious, Glasgow

  • lo maximo!!! como Barbra ninguna...

  • That was absolutely BEAUTIFUL. So stunning in fact i want to download this version to my ipod. I truly needed to hear this sung by this woman this morning.

  • The power of Barbra Streisand is that she makes it seem natural and effortless. It takes a truly great singer to be able to do that. No one can hold a candle to Barbra - she is truly a living legend and we are privileged to have her beautiful voice to listen to.

  • I...........DIE.

    

  • Basienka ma przecudny glosik

  • fantastic song!

  • the biggest song ever!

  • I forgot the other interpretations! Just writen for Her!

  • Barbara you are Amazing!!!!!! and the music is like coming from the havens!!!!!

  • Streisand has one of the finest vocal instruments on the planet. This song shows it to its fullest extent.

  • i can't stand barbara. that being said this is the finest intrepretation of this classic song that has ever been performed

  • I know of no other Angel so gifted with the inspiration to mold human souls with song and provide a gifted future. We are blessed by her creativity.

  • She sings an opera and can speak the words at the same time. Amazing Talent!

  • Amazing ... Best Memories :)

  • I love this song !

  • No matter of what kind of music you typically like, if you appreciate true talent this is absolutely worth listening to. Flawless.

  • Pretty good, but I prefer Sarah Brightman's version. To those who haven't heard it, I suggest you listen to it.

  • "It's so easy to leave me.." Not with a voice like that! So good, so pure.

  • holy shit nostalgia overload. chills

  • There is only one Streisand, in all of her concerts she never sang this song. Even though fans love this recording she never took away from the original, even Andrew Lloyd Weber has gone on record stating Barbra's version is the best. This song is absolutely the most goregous I've heard.

  • @randigrogan As a recording, this is the best. Supreme. She never performed the song as part of the cast of Cats. So as part of the musical, I would go for Elaine Paige.

  • Wow she sings this very well... I love the way that she is able to control her voice and still sound amazing!

    I know that a lot of you will disagree with me but I can't help but prefer Elaine Paige. I think that it is because I heard her sing this song before I heard this song. But Barbra is definantly second on my list when it comes to listening to this song!

  • She seems so relaxed... I wish I had her vocal technique and ...ugh I wish I had her voice... in a male version... is that... idk. I love her.

  • This "Absolutely Beautiful" song has "Always" touched my heart. :)

  • he escuchado esta cancion con diversas personas y nadie la canta como esta señora!!! realmente es sorprendente como la canta, me deja anonadado, cada vez que le escucho cantarla...me sigue temblando mi cuerpo, la piel se me eriza, y me transporta a nose que mundo por demas fantastico!!!!! adoro a esta mujer!!! es bellisima!!!

  • Barbara's voice is in a class all by itself.

  • I absolutely love this song.. and barbara's voice... well, i dont' know her to call her barbara.. but she is amazing.. I agree with the other people.. play this..not the stuff that is all created with auto tune.. i mean.. really, ADELE has talent.. and PINK does as well, a few of the guys.. usher, eminem.. bruno mars.. and a few others.. but rarely do any have this kind of talent. amazing.. amazing..WOW.

  • Muito, muito lindo!!!!!

    Toca em minha alma.

  • Elaine Page > Barbra Streisand.. JUST THIS SONG!!!

  • i hear every voices on this song but no body like Barbra Streisand

    i love her!!!!!!!!!!

  • Maravilloso !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sencillamente Genial!!!!!!!!

  • she's just amazing....

  • What a range!

  • me encanta esta mujer y como interpreta esta cancion la adoro mas

  • chut! la voie de la liberté ,a écouter

  • Barbra Stresand's voice is an institution...

  • fantastic Barbara, great song, tks

  • בא לי לבכות מאושר מהשיר ועוד יותר מהביצוע  של הזמרת הנדירה הזו.

  • thats how its done

  • Ehhez a számhoz nem kell kommentár olyan gyönyörű, bármilyen nyelven éneklik is!!!!

  • How can Susan Boyle can over 10,000,000 hits when Streisands sound so much better

  • @wildfury6 Susan Boyle benefits from coming to light in a time of social media and online video sharing. She's been far more accessible to this generation than Barbra was.

  • Vraiment MAGNIFIQUE

    

  • Wonderful song!!

  • my message to the uploader: "hi! thanks for posting this video! my mother plays this over and over again so do I. this is like a reflection of the past while you still keep your hopes high for today so that you can see a brighter future... full of enlightenment."

  • Comment removed

  • Great music! Beautiful person! Been listening to Barbara for 41 years , and it never gets boring.

  • beautiful ... eternal ...

  • Oh, I'll touch you, Dahling!!

  • The best version!!!:

  • good

  • Who's Elaine?

  • @atube4view Original Grizabella (the character who sings this). I personally prefer Betty Buckley though- she was the original Griz in the Broadway production.

  • nice but nothing to Elaine

  • Only Barbara Streisand could sing this song, just magnificent

  • And who is Sarrah Brightman? ..... Nobody.

  • Streisand:s Version is the best......

  • No one can sing it more beautiful than Barbra Steisand.

  • I am 16 years old girl, but I love this song and Barbara so much!

  • She is absolutely wonderful. This voice makes me cry and gives me chills on my whole body. I don`t remember when I was so touched for the last time.

    Totally tribute for Barbra.

  • Barbra Barbra Barbra, one of a kind Barbra

  • Barbara in her prime! Thank you very much.

    My wife and I love it.

  • Волшебство

  • Brava, brava, brava!!!!!

  • pocas cantantes quedan asi tanperfects como tu

  • estamujer es lomejor barbara

  • nise but nothing next to Elaine

  • @Goldie4tv lol is that a joke?

  • Barbara is beautiful and has the most amazing voice.  I am learning this song and it will be a challenge after listening to her. I can only wish:)

  • Barbara is beautiful and has the most amazing voice. I am learning this song and it will be a challenge after listening to her. I can only wish:)

  • Barbara is beautiful and has the most amazing voice. I am learning this song and it will be a challenge after listening to her. I can only wish:)

  • che spettacolo

  • Absolutly stunning clip, my best loved (: Thanks for sharing (:

  • "nervous Barbra"? Where do you see any "nervousness" on her part? And I was totally enjoying, beyond amazing music, lyrics and amazing voice, also what I was taking to be Barbra's "living the song to the utmost".........playing it and with it through her splendid voice, soft movements, smiles etc..........

    Seems this cliche never fades: we judge by our own merits and through our own fautls and projections.......Or, in Mr.Rochester's words (as uttered by Dalton) Who judge shall be judged"(: (:

  • Goosebumps...

    

  • She is so amazing, always a Barbara fan. <3

  • Wow.! I finally found a singer thats REAL and has REAL talent.. Today, people are just bad, so they should be thankful for auto-tune. Otherwise they would suck.. People need to start to appreciate real talent. I'm not saying I'm a freak and like older music its just that this is a really great song.! Wish people could figure that out.!

  • @XxTxAxYxX

    There's nothing wrong with liking older music :)

  • @XxTxAxYxX Ha! You've finally been introduced to the greatest singer of the 21st century

  • Streisand should have all rights to this song! She slays everyone else's version She is MUCH better vocally than Elaine Paige. I don't even listen to Barbra 's music(not my style) but this song was from my childhood and I still love it. Always will.

  • @RianJeucken yes I have! They are both amazing singers! Sarah Brightman being better in my opinion!

    BUT and a big BUT, Streisand brings something to this song that they don't!

    The only other song I love by Streisand(her music is just not the type of music I'm into) is 'Somewhere' and I've heard every version I know exists and again there are some really, really amazing ones BUT they don't compare to hers! Something about her versions are different.(Cant explain what)So to me, she is better!

  • I love of many of Barbara's songs

  • I look up to Barbra Streisand and this is my favorite song in the whole world.

  • genial el tema me trae muy lindo recuerdos .....

  • holy crap barbara's voice never ceases to amaze me!!! so incredible.

  • I wish they played songs like this on the radio.

  • she gives me goosebumps

  • Beautiful voice, beautiful song suits her. Luved it.

    Mata

  • She is a perfect singer... in all the ways!

  • One of the best voices (and diction) that I ever heard!

    Karen Carpenter is very good, too!

  • such a fine, sophisticated voice and video

  • Wow... i always laughed when i herd the name barbra streisand because i saw her parody in south park... now i see i've made a HUGE mistake, she is really good

  • Cette chanson est un joyau, je n'arrive pas à comprendre que l'on ne puisse pas aimer la mélodie, les paroles et surtout cette voix. Tell Him aussi est une chanson magnifique.

  • Ceux qui n'aiment pas on des problemes auditoires .

  • how can you not like this?!

  • Comment removed

  • man o man, what a singer. not only is she technically perfect, but her voice is just so perfect. she's like susan boyle + 20 years of musical training. you couldn't ask for more

  • Listening to Streisand sing this, the true poignancy of the song comes through in it's fullest sense. Not only has she a superb voice, but she is a consummate actor...long live Barbra..!!!

  • I like her interpretation of this song. In a way her version is more touching than anyone else's. Thanks for posting. And her voice is angel-like, so beautiful.

  • Peut être une des plus belles chansons jamais écrites, servie par une voix sublime, celle de la grande Barbra Steisand... une pure merveille, musique et paroles.

  • The most perfect voice for this song,amazing. First heard this on one of first sony walkmans,blew my mind!

  • The thing about Steisand is that at her best, she tells a great story through song. Just silly for folks to say Steisand's immitators are better for reasons nobody can fathom. This one is hers. I may have issues with the story. The middle aged matron feeling badly about the passing of time annoying for those of us who like a little respect, a little power, like living with a little less focus on T&A in our middle years. Still great song, fine performance.

  • Barbra is the greatest of all times. And I LIKE her views!

  • <3

  • excelente...simplemente única

  • So many artist have covered this song brilliantly, but Streisand- was flawless. Absolute perfection. It's hard for me to even breathe during the crescendo.

  • @aexxxon Sorry you are hard of hearing. Barbra is so much more a singing actress than Susan B ever will be. She takes you on a roller coaster ride in this song, where with Susan you need an espresso. Babs builds up to an in your face cresendo to an unearthly last word/note.

  • Esta musica é muito linda... lembro de quando eu era muito jovenzinha... amo muito.... bela voz.

  • Ecco la terza , bellissima canzone di Barbra in UN TEMPO PER.....salutarci.

    Grazie ad AnnaMay

  • Be honest, do you think that I have a better voice?

  • Although I don't like Barbra's views, she is a fantastic singer! I listened to several versions of this song, but she's the best at it!

  • Meh...Susan Boyle is soo much more better.

  • This is a wonderful song and Barbra is, now and forever) a Great Artist.

    Grazie for sharing.

    I think to do a PrimoPiano on my UN TEMPO PER.....

  • TO THE 64 MORANS THAT VOTED DOWN ON THIS VIDEO! YOUR ALL FUCKING STUPID. HAVE SOME CLASS!!!

  • @rickcuban322 correction: 65 - this cover was not awful but it wasn't great either. Don't take offense, calm down and watch yourself a little Funny Girl with a glass of wine.

  • @aexxxon Sorry funny drinking girl, this does not meet the criteria for a "cover". This is the recording the composer chose to make as the definitive version. If you had read the credits you would find Lloyd Webber at the helm of your so called "wasn't great" cover - have another!

  • @AnnaMayWongSociety Seriously, relax. It's simply a matter of opinion. Do you really think that by defending this you have protected Barbra or Lloyd? You feel all of a sudden superior? Knowledgeable? Well my dear, you seriously need to relax because quite frankly Barb or Lloyd could give a shit about what you know or who you even are. Next time - take a deep breath, relax and remember - this is YOUTUBE, a website, with many opinions and ideas - not your Barbra Streisand shrine or fan club.

  • @aexxxon Hey dumb jerk....don't assume who I am or that I live your life....clean up your mouth...If you dig deep into the comments you will find my relationship as to why I posted this....dumb jerk (worth repeating)

  • WOW........ DAMN.......

  • Why did she change some of the lyrics?

  • She has the best version of the song...

  • She is AMAZING about to cry here

  • @tylervswild when I hear him I wanna vomit

  • THE BEST

  • What a beautiful song!

  • As a 15 year old boy, this is still the best example of music that i have ever seen. Technology let's the least talented people sound good. In the old days you had to actually have talent. Memories are all that are left and like in this beautiful song, they are fading away...

  • @notverysuperdean i agree, but luckily there are still people out there with god-given talent, and those of us who strive to achieve the best we can, talent or no. But that's no excuse for electronic over lapping now. You know when you hear true talented singing. It's a little something called goosebumps. :)

  • @notverysuperdean Please don't despair my young friend! Yes, the radio has been taken over with pop, rap & hip hop singers that cannot sing. Barbra here, Sarah Brightman, Il Divo & others are great. A NEW voice in music is Adam Lambert! The best male voice I've heard since Freddie Mercury and Roy Orbison. He NEVER uses auto-tune & NO lip synching! Listen to his "Brigadoon", "Soaked-live" and "Sleepwalker-live" as well as MANY others! His LIVE songs are best! ENJOY! You have great tastes! ;D <333

  • Most harmonic voice I've ever heard. Those vocal chords are Stradivarius' chords playing at the same time! I've never wondered why I'm still a crazy Barbra fan.

  • Chills @ 3:01

  • there is only one who sings this song with perfection ,and thats Barbra Streisand cheers .

  • I love that play that the song goes to!

  • wanna hear lea michelle (rache berry) in glee sing this shed do a swell job i think thumbs up if u agree

  • i emphatically agree with you @SuperMT3. The Greatest Singer of All Time in my opinion.

  • I love her. Skin like butta.

  • Her voice is staggering! Anyone into pure voice has to be floored by her range and tone. As many high quality singers we have heard in our lifetime, there is NO ONE who compares to Streisand. No one. And you really can't compare male tenors, or whatever, because there's 'power', and then there's 'beauty'. And Barbra's is the most beautiful voice this age has EVER heard. Put it in the books.

  • who can argue with that voice, but ya her pilitics are nut, seems like most liberals extremists are only that way when they have an agenda special interest, and it doesn't actually cost them (as most liberals dont pay income taxe)

  • jackie Evancho is a child, hopefully the degenerate music industry does not try to remake her into a britney spears understudy
