[GreatGeorgeable]

Have you guys realised how sexy Barbra's legs are? I just have...:)

[tchaille1979]

clinton fuck

[texlobo]

que bonita canta la barbara Y Bil Clinton el mejor presidente Viva Amarica 

[flxdcatbruce]

Just how amazing is this woman! To be able to just pick up a mike and sing like that is truly a gift that I enjoy listening to so much. Clearly the best voice I have ever heard. I grew up listening to Janis and now have come full circle. So glad that I have, I just love her.

[jeffdon4]

i dont care what anyone says. Bill Clinton did a Fantastic job getting the country out of debt. He still remains my favorite president in my 35 years....and to have one of my favorite singers--- Barbra streisand sing for him??? WOW!!!

[zanoases]

@kern39743 "The Queen of Soul" has what to do what, question herself?Stop being disrespectful, Barbara has nothing on Aretha. Aretha is one of the most praised Soul Vocalist Artist of Alltime (her biggest Fans just 2 Names who can sing also better and has more Success then Big Nose Barbara will ever have and that is Mariah & Whitney. Every Shitty Musical singer can sing that WORST BORING SONGS! I dont why people listen to that weird BIG NOSE Monster!

[memoiao39ries]

@zanoases Barbra Streisand is the best selling female artist in the US of all time. Check the RIAA. She's had #1 albums in 5 decades. She has won oscars for acting AND directing, and has won Tony's and Emmy's. She's simply one of the top 5 most successful female artists of all time, and among the most respected. You obviously know very little about her. She can belt it out along with the best of th em.

[memoiao39ries]

@zanoases Aretha has sold nowhere near the amount of albums Barbra has..lol. more success? Right. And you tell people to stop being disrespectful but you call her Big nosed barbra? As if aretha has a tiny nose herself...

[BBBYpsi]

@memoiao39ries Babs is probably one of the most accomplished people in show buisness there ever has been. Between writing directing composing acting & of course singing. No one tops her more then a triple threat.

[memoiao39ries]

@zanoases Btw I love both Aretha and Barbra, they are both legends, and they are not in competition with one another. They are both peerless

[TheQueenAretha2]

@memoiao39ries I will second. Very well said.

[SuDurenHohn]

fuck barbara streisand

[stevesg92]

@SuDurenHohn troll?



[jeffreylevin100]

BARBRA S. HAS BECOME THE LIVING "FIRST LADY OF SONG" - A TITLE THAT ELLA FITZGERALD HELD FOR YEARS AND STILL EQUALLY DESERVES!

BARBRA'S TALENT IS AMAZING!

HER VOICE AND PHRASING ARE IMPECCABLE AND UNIQUE!

[mekko2000]

truly a God Given Voice! she's simply in a class all by herself!!

[kern39743]

singers like aretha must question their ability sharing the stage with barbara

[iainstringerworks]

True class xxx

[stevesg92]

wow.... she has an almost limitless range.... amazing.. probably the best voice ever for women!

[Messylin]

Spirits RIII-HHHHHHHIIIIISE... i just came.

[panthers909]

4:21 look at all those camera flashes for Barbra:)

[staythenight]

SINCE THE FIRST NOTE... OMG I got captivated....

[mikesterSTLMO]

She's become an even more liberal whack job since this performance, but nevertheless, there are millions of us (yes, Conservatives) that idolize Barbra. She knows this and has masterfully balanced this for decades. As she's said, art transcends politics. To me, other than her original Sun Devil Stadium performance of Evergreen (where she first unveiled her baby), this is the best version by far; One Voice a close second.

[billyboylb]

@mikesterSTLMO I'm glad she (Streisand) isn't some conservative bigot like Sarah Palin.

[mikesterSTLMO]

@billyboylb Ok, I'll play ... how is Sarah Palin a bigot? Yawn .....

[billyboylb]

@mikesterSTLMO Isn't it obvious? Streisand is a whacked liberal....yawn...okay, I'll play.

[tonygwd]

@billyboylb , You know, I really couldn't care less what someone like Barbra Streisand's political views are. In fact I just as soon they keep them to themselves. I like them because of their talent, and I like somebody like Sarah Palin because she stands for what made these United States the greatest country on the face of the earth. Isn't it great that we true Americans can love people on BOTH sides of the political spectrum. I know I do, and feel that I'm a better person for it.

[billyboylb]

@tonygwd I appreciate Ms. Palin's freedom of speech. But, unfortunately, I think she represents the worst in our country. We'll have to agree to disagree. As for Ms. Streisand, I think she is quite brilliant and I'm much more in line with her political beliefs than Palin. But I like Christine Whitman and Megan McCain....and they are republicans!!!

[QueenHeartKiss]

do you know what i am 16 years old and i think that Barbra has the music of her generationa and my generation and all of them between us

[Robi6942]

She is a GODDESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dirtyblondny]

what idiots in hollywood... did i see Monica Lewinsky in the third row ????

[CinderellaMan16]

I think this was her best live version of this song.

[stevesg92]

@CinderellaMan16 i absolutely agree!

[HF2112]

This song use to rock the world....the best love song....one of the world best song i mean......

[char2xstewart]

I love Barb...such a great voice...one of the kind...

[terobegay]

I was actually at the Concert and I had no idea who she was.. I'm from AZ and we were there with some students from Brooklyn. You should have seen the girls from Brk, They were crying their eyes out... had no clue who Barbara was..

[TheNokia4867]

you didn't know who she was lol wow u been living  under a rock!

[cirej25]

@terobegay

We know you had no clue; it shows! it starts with you misspelling her name. it's Barbra not Barbara

[ccchisholm1]

How on earth can someone not know who she is.

[leofalcon]

Where are they (you) from.. the moon of another planet.. please...

[jrr1234567890]

i nearly fell asleep that was so dull

[ccchisholm1]

@jrr1234567890

arsehole

[mitche2l]

it's my first time to see her..i just heard her name from my teacher

[TheNokia4867]

wow u never heard of her have u been living under a rock?

[natatata88]

she's soooooo gorgeous

my god and so hot WOW

[jeffreylevin100]

Barbra Streisand is simply captivating! She now has earned the honor of being called "The First Lady of Song," a title that was bestowed on the great Ella Fitzgerald. Barbra now has earned it! 1) Five decades of singing beautifully, 2) A Unique Beautiful Voice, 3) More Albums sold worldwide than anyone but Elvis!! The World loves Barbra. I love her music also. When she sings, we all feel the joy she projects!

[HateRepublicans]

america was great for 8 years only to be tainted and destroyed by what came after Clinton

[ILoveFranDrescher1]

DAMN BUSH!!!

[thewomaninthemoon]

Awesome entrance!She looks amazing,I love the suit.

[johnnyboyke]

Babra for president ,  yes ! that would be something .

[xianneh]

Michael Jackson performed on this same evening :)

[ccchisholm1]

Who gives a shit

[streisandsucks]

I can't quite put my finger on it, but somehow Streisand reminds me of Jimmy Durante

[streisandsucks]

Clinton is saying, "I bet I could tap THAT..."

[BEATTY001]

Wonderful intro by Warren and Annette!

[VaughnMouton]

May I just say: Pure CLASS. The intro, the talent, the outfit, the lyrics, the hair, the simple vocal interpretation, the jewellery, the tea, the sincerity, the legs, the aura of quiet confidence...

I die.

[Branigan4ever]

The hair style is getting really old....yes I know this is a dated clip, but she still wears the same hairstyle a decade later.

[tappster4real]

Amazing!

[LohengrinT]

to actually think that the only skeleton they could find in clinton's closet was a blow job! This guy must have been a true saint and probably the best president usa ever had :)

[1990smudge]

massive goosebumps xxxx

i love this woman, she is soo blessed and its an honour that we can hear her sing xxx

[Hestea]

Wow, memories. How fantastic was Bill? And how amazing is Barbra.

[margieofjax]

Margie I totally  agree. I love both of them.

[vicky2400]

@Hestea AGREE!!!!

[1mutsnuts]

now thats how you sing live awsome

[PublicYahoo]

Awesome! That was almost as good as a  lewinsky.

[ZebFAN08]

You know, Bill Clinton pulled out all the stops. I can always tell he knows good music. Inviting people like Aretha Franklin and Barbra Streisand to sing for him.

[CrazyworldFab]

lol ! ^^"

[pete6356]

Did this air on television??? How did I mss this?

[muffles12]

january 19 every 4 years?

[absrpn]

Whoaaa... a voice that never fades...Luv ya Barbra!

[connorryan]

An indication of good things to come in January :)

[LuxClassical]

5:30

[LuxClassical]

My favorite is the part that started on 5:30. She has a beautiful voice.

[johnnyboyke]

She sings awesome live here on this special day ! Barbra has a good choice .

[MrStyle23]

This is my favorite also. The first time I heard it was Luther Vandross recording of it...I actually like hers better...well the live versions.

[bewander]

Not her best performance, but <3 the outfit!

[punisher21200]

Never saw this before. Great! Love u Barbra! Hillary should have been nominated President!! Obama and Mccain are assholes!!

[tjonesmusicman]

wow you must've voted for McCain...sucks to be you

[1955jmp]

this whole crowd stinks

[OyolaLuisAlberto]

Americanos no extrañan a Bill , comparado con Bush Clinton es casi un Dios.-

[rockinraffi]

Comparado con Bush, Clinton se merece que pongan su rostro en Mount Rushmore!!

[ziegfeldgirl12]

I'd love to see Streisand sing at her own inaugural gala!

[johnnyboyke]

i would love that to ; but here she is also magnificent and radiant ! Awesome

[AdArmand]

#TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIME won't change the *Meaning* of!#

[JTP973]

Can't wait to see her sing when Mrs. Clinton wins.

[CitzenVain714]

YESSS! That's reason enough for people to vote for Hillary!

[johnnyboyke]

that's also my hope, hihihi........ please Hillary win the election and we certainly will see Barbra again !

[crack3rrrrrrr]

she makes me cry this woman, with her beautiful voice.

[zevnik]

I am watching and listening to this clip over and over and over again. There's something that's just so magnificent about the whole package: Barbra's vocals, her formidable star presence, her beautifully put together and elegant look that evening...I don't think I've ever heard her sound as great live as she did that night, particularly on her next 2 songs.

[sanered]

that night was unforgettable...barbra and aretha singing on the same night and same stage...they should've done a duet

[Babsfanalltheway]

How love how she gets more applause and standing ovations than the then new president - just how it should be!!

[HelloGorgeous1942]

she is like god to me .. but why does her mouth spaz out so much?!

[ccchisholm1]

@zaktuta Fuckwit

[miketlow]

What a night!!!..Aretha and Barbra performing on the same stage in the same night..you wont see stuff like that any more..wish they could have sang together...Also Hilary's face was not like that when Aretha came out..

[Joshlemizrahi]

It truly was a time of Happy Days. And no one better to sing for our President and Vice President.

[criny009]

thank you to themirrorhastwofaces for posting these excellent videos, excellent quality and thank you to all Barbra's fans for sharing the same adoration for her as I do. How lucky you must have been to be there. She's simply perfect!! Paris this year will be for me the most unforgettable moment in my life.

[flickeringcandle]

And don't you just hate the way Gore and Mrs Clinton behave...Gore's thumbs up are false and dorky, and Hilary is so not having fun, her face is blank, sour, obviously not a Streisand fan - I would have killed to be there! Anywho, still hope she's president in 2008 (!!!).

[flickeringcandle]

OMG! How stunning does she look!!! I love the way her hair is being elegantly blown by a gentle breath of wind. She is truly one of the greatest entertainers ever. And that suit!!! Sex and power personified, the cut of the dress, to die for. You can definitely detect her nerves when she starts talking, but as soon as she sings - an utter professional, the nerves melt and we get the single most powerful popular entertainment performance of the nineties.

[themirrorhastwofaces]

Sorry about the irritating squeaky noise at 0:27, 5:16, and 5:52. I tried segmenting the video into different sizes. Apparently that didn't work. Any suggestions on how we can correct this problem or can we live with it? :)

[zevnik]

I thought she had suffered with such debilitating stage fright, still at this point in time. But she appears cool as a cucumber up there!
