Damm she was good! This sound like something my Confirmation Sponsors whose also my Mom's best friend"s Aunts would listen to because they listen to this type of music!~
Quite a good rendition, she has an okay voice unlike most of the 'singers' on these talent shows like X Factor, American idol etc., but she can never live up to Babs. Barbra Streisand owns this song, has done since she first sung it in 1970. *clicks back to Babs' version of the song*
Love Jordin and we shouldn't compare, but well, Babs is Babs, just like Whitney WAS Whitney, and Dolly is Dolly. You just can't recreate that type of magic.
Please! How can you people EVEN think of drawing a comparison?! Sure Jordin's singing is showy, cute n kicky BUT if you want something TRULY tasty and OH so Satisfying... there is NO comparision to the FLAVOR of Barbra! Barbra's music is PHENOMINAL... BARBRA is a TREASURE of humanity. Say the name Barbra- and WHO ELSE would you think of... the DIVA is simply TRES EXTRAORDINARE- a jewel without compare! like I said earlier- PLEASE!... Jordin who?
Okay, let me explain it. Jordan is a good singer, Barbra Streisand is a phenomenon. Barbra is extremely unique, absoulutely no one like her, in a class of her own, just a few ways of putting it. The power & emotion of her voice is unmatched. She exploded on the scene with emmy's, grammy's, academy awards all before the age of 26. Her talent is immense. If you can't see that or HEAR that, then you just clearly can't recognize talent. She is a prodigy. What don't you get?
@garydemaio I agree with you to the fullest extent; Barbra is one of a kind. Sadly I haven't had the pleasure of seeing her in concert. tho I was one a year old when she did her comback concert in 94 lol i am only 16 and im deeply immersed in the sounds of the phenomenal Barbra Joan Streisad <3
I din't think she would sound like Barbara but I wanted a lttle more depth or emotion in the singing. But it also sounds like she went for a more jazz sound. she nails that ending though. it's like years pasing by when people sing thta last note...LOL
its sad when people try to compare artists... no one will be similar to Barbra as there is but one. and Jordan is Jordan... they are both unique talents... one both just older and much more established.... Great Job Jordan!
I never heard of her before. I came here because some boob on the Streisand version claimed that she was better. That will keep me laughing for about a week.
i love jordin and she did a great job, but she totally avoided all the high notes, i hate it when people do a different version of the original and cut out all the high notes, imwould have done a much better version!
Just wondering, I don't watch idol at all but in the ads they usually talk about what 'theme' they do, eg. 'Abba' or 'Motown'. Was there a theme here? If there was, which one? She is very good, I stumbled upon this whilst hearing Barbra Streisand sing it. Barbra Streisand is amazing and no one can top her, but I like this version.
I just don't understand what pleasure you get from insulting someone because of their weight. Jordin is not fat, not by a long shot. She's very pretty and very talented and she also has a great personality so how can you insult her?
Dear impasse0124, ya right. She's empirically very attractive, great bone structure and features, fantastic nuanced and powerful voice, and she does this great eye brow raising thing, she's great. It's easy for those who never can to criticise those who are. It was ever thus for the mediocre, thick and ordinary. I'd love to have her in my band. Hey, Jordin is a damn fine young woman and a real talent. Colonel Robert Neville blogspot com

DA'um .... miss thang nailed it. She wisely didn't try to do Streisand; she gave it a jazzy twist. Great job.

I've just this moment heard Streisand's effort.
This one is MORE than passable.
And she did it live in front of Simon Cowell (talentless as he is - his whim and fancy decides if she wins or not).
I hate X-factor and American Idol and Britain's Got Talent with a vengeance.
But this lass did great. No question. She's the real thing.
