[waggietoo]

asian american sings america the beautiful, please take a look

[madonna742]

Exquisite! Why isn't the audience standing and shouting kudos? I am. Thanks for sharing.

[BHW722]

@madonna742 Barbra's part was taped in advance as she was in London working on Yentl. Notice the name of the band...United Air Forces in Europe. I think this is the best version I have ever heard!

[billyboylb]

Beautiful Barbra! Great singer. Great American.

[Ellement90]

Yo, fuck america, stupid fascist pigs. The men in the military are 10 times the ape that I could ever hope to be. Stupid nigger fuckers.

[grahamcwatts1]

God Bless america, the nation that gave the world Barbra.

[billygoyboy]

@grahamcwatts1 You said it!

[egeek10]

barbara is queen of liberal cunts

[billygoyboy]

@egeek10 Learn how to spell her name, asshole!

[egeek10]

@billygoyboy learn how to blow me dickwad - yer just another liberal faggot - stfu faggot

[billygoyboy]

@egeek10 I'll blow ya!

[egeek10]

@billygoyboy so faggots truly are her biggest audience - its part of the stereotype like lisping, walking funny, dressing well LOL! - billyboy yer a fucking faggot ... not that thats a bad thing ...

go choke on your aids dog bone LOL

[freshair3451]

@egeek10 Shame on you. Your heart is the property of Evil. You will die miserable and alone.

[TheSunmanho]

fuck the USA! I prefer Canada if I have to choose

[Brennna]

@TheSunmanho Then take your ignorant ass to Canada. America doesn't need garbage like you anyway.

[detheroc98]

@TheSunmanho

then go to Canada... no one fucking cares !

[Fillistar]

@hazor777 you can tell she's not singing with any emotion, she's like a twig! At least spread your arms or something, not ball your fists for your high note

[elauraburnette]

@Fillistar Do you have any idea how hard it is to reach those high notes, even for her? Love, not war, silence instead of criticism. :)

[elauraburnette]

@Fillistar Unless you can do a better job, my friend. I mean no disrespect in my post to you.

[Fillistar]

He voice sound like the one who sang the fake Disney songs during the movie like the "Dont Cry" song in Dumbo

[antiFoolishness]

3 WORDS:

GOD BLESS AMERICA

[ragemanchoo82]

@kafir001 There was never a good war, or a bad peace. -- Ben Franklin

[rodgermourtagh]

I love this song and god may bless America!

[2366907123]

wish i had that hair... my mom did, though. LOL

[TheSonny92110]

great song by a great singer

[r3i6nm8n]

good version although Streisand can be a bit of an idiot sometimes, the fact she nails this song is cool

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

This loon streisand is a complete idiot.

[Alkalite18]

@DONGOE Or for any of our so called Representatives, Senators, or Governors. They are all loyal to their corporations not us. Too bad people think we still live in a democracy, it's more like facism.

[MsJoanieK]

This song and "God Bless America" could be sung by anyone and they would touch me!

[billyboylb]

@DONGOE And to Sarah Palin.

[DONGOE]

@billyboylb -Dah!

[ChrisNaggar]

14 idiots are gonna be really sorry one day...beautiful song!

[jiahua448]

Makes me proud to be American! For all its wrongs, there are still more rights, and because of these rights, we can say, with honesty, that we are the greatest nation on this Earth!

[yambo59]

@IWILLS79 its our national Anthem fuckwad, its not supposed to entertain your worthless ass. This is a song to honor our country and many thousands died defending its freedoms so twits like you could sit here and make snyde remarks that show you have no regard for the country that millions of immigrants risked their lives to get into. America is the last stand for freedom, show some respect.

[yambo59]

@yambo59 I made a mistake, its not the national anthem, but the song deserves the same respect, boring or not.

[resolvetjjcmf]

In 2000, Barbra Streisand was awarded the National Medal of Arts

[alanbmx321]

too bad she does not love this contry that has gave her so much

[billyboylb]

@alanbmx321 Streisand may believe differently than you, but she clearly loves this country.

[inandio]

@alanbmx321 Does this performance of hers prove that she does not like her country? Is not it quite the opposite?

[Leavon]

@alanbmx321 Shes got a helluva voice no doubt but your dead on with how much she certainly seems to hate the U.S. She spends her money on trying to turn America into another third rate European State. The only reason these progressives stay here is so they can continue to rape the country to make more millions while creating ever increasing road blocks for anyone else to suceed.

[billyboylb]

@Leavon Streisand doesn't hate the U.S. I'm definitely a progressive liberal and I love my country.

[kaleelee2309]

Barbra your voice... i love you...

she's one of the best singers...ever. lol. :)

[zoryada]

pleas ,give me someone words of this song,plz?

[Puzzledrev]

Amazing. Thanks.

[joeymarcelo12]

Oh Barbara, when you sing makes me feel and hear the soul of America: this sounds so majestically.

Hug America

[Beulah502]

Barbara is a national treasure

[joeymarcelo12]

Ooooooooooooooooooooh My God....her voice sounds as eternal.

[JUJUJOJOAJ]

Beautiful voice......

[billyboylb]

@ChiefRRoss I love that Streisand is a liberal and not some conservative bigot.

[HoneySiegalSurvivor]

@phxphillip My New York media family know her. It would be nice for them to step up to the plate and introduce me in order for her to show her real patriotism and help me save the United States of America. Obama needs to resign. Immediately.

[FirestarZX]

its not bad but its got nothing on ray charls version.

[davnkatz]

Beautiful - absolutely beautiful.

[billyboylb]

I keep coming back to Streisand's version.  She is truly a great American artist!

[Super1652]

Fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LoboAscuridad]

She sounds like an opera singer. She has a great voice.

[GreatDylan420]

I just vomited uncontrollably all over my computer and now I have to clean it up. Thanks a lot Barb 

[kyolym]

@GreatDylan420 BARBRA SAYS YOUR WELCOME :)

[jack5505]

@GreatDylan420 She has the same effect on me 2

[ILoveFranDrescher1]

i like her hair! (: haha

[OlegAhmatov]

boring... flawless but boring...

[BrotherJulien]

This song is not about hate, war, fighting, or racism. It's about the beauty of America. How many of you people realize that the comments you post on Youtube reflect on America?? Grow up guys!

[middletonallen]

@moseymama is was born in hawaii, yes his dad was born in africa and he is a muslim.

[billyboylb]

Barbra is a class act! God given talent.

[WhyCantIVote]

A Muslim radical who drinks alcohol and appoints a woman to be secretary of state? Do you have any idea what the fuck you're talking about?

[guesanchen]

Sadly, where is "Servanthood?"

But her voice is THE ONE and THE MOST!

[moseymama]

He admitted after he was elected of being a muslim. In fact he said "If it came to where I would have to choose I would stand with the Muslims" Look it up!! start reading. that why we are in this mess today. People voted blind. .

[billyboylb]

I don't care about his religion. He was the best man for the job. The U.S. constitution states, "There shall be no religious test to hold public office." Look it up! And there was no way in hell I was voting for Palin, who goes to a church that believes in witchcraft!

[moseymama]

Oh! But he is NOT doing a good job. Wait you will find out. He is not a democrat he is a progressive. Progressives came out of the communist movement. His father was a commie, his mentor was, he was interested and followed marxism in college. Com on, take the blinders off. I am neither rep or democrat. But this guy is NOT for our good

[billyboylb]

I think you're overreacting.  And I like a lot of the ideas of progressives and I'm not a communist. Don't oversimplify people's political philosophies. I'm more scared of how the conservatives just ignore what's in our constitution.

[colormeandrew]

Birther.

[splazmataz]

Barbra Streisand could sing "America The Beautiful" while shaving baby seals....Marvin Hamlisch would still be conducting, and every singer in the world would still stop, look around, and realize that IT'S BARBRA....(get a day job)....

[VietFiddle]

America is beautiful because of 2 kinds of Americans. One listen to God and follow God's Words, and others who just say by the mouth and do otherwise.

[kyolym]

I was just watching this wonderful performance of America the beautiful and went to the comments to say something nice and Im like,what the hell are you people on here talking about????

[tinoman2007]

she got a big nose!!!!

[hypecritevilusers]

292x1 she is gift of god no one can top this voice we love Barbra

 now for you get lost

[moseymama]

Her voice is special! God is suppose to be capitalized. :o)).

[billyboylb]

Repukelicans can't stand anyone who doesn't think like they do. They ruined this country under Bush. Go Barbra. Keep singing and keep speaking out against the moron Repukelicans! We love you!

[292x1]

. Finally! A comment back to me from a Real American. Can't stand her.

[BHW722]

The most spine tingling version of this song ever sung!!!

[Streisand1HorseLover]

sholderpads were the worst invention EVER!!!

[steveatl40]

Love that 80s hair...but her voice was still stunning and perfect in 1982 :)

Who are the people today that have voices as pure as Streisand and Karen Carpenter?

[alexorin]

All the same, you can carry on with your ignorant republican philosphy which cators only to a select few and neglects the rest!! Your philophsy will never work, so I take pleasure in that fact!!

[alexorin]

292X1,,,,, this is for you,,,,, I don't think Barbara cares if you like her or not,,,,, you remind me of one of those stupid heads that voted for that bubblehead George Bush,,, not one but twice,,, Thanks!!!,,,, Now lets dig ourselves out of this economic hellhole,,,, Thanks a lot you diot!!

[woody72691]

Bubble head? This coutry was safe for 8 years...look what obama and his ilk like Babs ahs done in a few short months..bankrupted us...you imbecile...Streisand is a socialist liberal...certainly NOT an American

[TheTrollMallet]

@alexorin Great an Obamanut. So you think digging ourselfs out of bush is adding 3 times the debt Bust ran up in 8 years with Obama's 8 months? Get a clue dumbass. Bush had 911 and Saddam to deal with and Obama has nothing....... putz

[292x1]

I don't like her. Never did. And she may have the freedom to sing this song she does a great disservice to her country with her anti American socialist views.

[billyboylb]

@292x1 You may disagree with her politics, but Streisand clearly loves her country.

[TheTrollMallet]

@billyboylb Streisand dosn't have a clue what her country is all about. She is an elete snob who has never had to sacrafice anything for freedom!

[MsNaynay99]

Oh how pretty!

[twochaudio]

You have to look at what R.Charles sings. Then if that song is not on the list sing it. Shes now walking a thin ice And I like her

[eilitegirl]

beautiful voice beautiful song GOD BLESS THE USA

[vasilikiyannos]

eilitegirl, thanks for sharing!

She is beautiful!

GOD bless America!

[Shaunakde]

What an awesome rendition.

[billyboylb]

Awesome. Barbra is a great American who cares deeply about her country.

[colormeandrew]

Everyone thinks Barbra is the epitome of terrible since she just received a #1 album. Take that, jazzyASS.

[stevenshorter67]

Thanks Andrew. I've been a fan of Barbra since I was 11 in 1975, but I've never seen--or heard--this one. Makes me proud on so many levels.

[orionedwin]

Just wonderful!

[rjdliz]

I am a single mother and a Republican. Huh?!!!

[morgandrim]

I have a hell of a lot of respect for Barbra Streisand. But why is it that blokes often sound so much better when singing these kind of songs ?

[bobbbbbable]

Oh horrible for rich elite who steal from those with less.

A thoroughfare for evil meets and to us wont confess!

America! America! God damn our endless flaw, Our wretched souls have no control to stop the martial law.

[bobbbbbable]

Oh horrible for smoggy skies, for red hot waves of pain,

For purple-faced rich tyrannies along their fascist train!

America! America! God send a curse on thee,

And crown thy crooks with dirty looks from sea to shitty sea!

[Ahwahneechee]

Barbra Streisand is beautiful both inside and out.

[almenotti]

Barbra is the Goddess! No one ever has or ever will have a glorious voice like she possesses. NO ONE!

[wdeadman49]

At least she has the energy to sing this out like no other! GOod job!

[Slinkman22]

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

I love you America. :)

[gdennis24]

she sounds operatic

[bookdawggie32]

Ray's version puts this to shame. You can tell she doesn't really believe what she is singing. She is one of the biggest America haters out there.

[randigrogan]

Truly the best female singers of my generation. Why watch the video if you don't like the singer, I'm sure your all aware those who appreciate talent will respond back negatively. Barbra Streisand is by far the best. Brava!

[jimblackwood]

Indyandy4c...I formally extend the hand of friendship and apology for being nasty to you. I was just havin fun at your expense. Sorry....JimB

[jimblackwood]

You replied didn't you? And if you quote someone or something, you need to enclose it with quotations and include attribution. Oh, and by the way needle dick....have a nice day! LOL

[INDYANDY4C]

It seems that Jim Blackwood is a Putz; he won't let anyone reply.

[MrCravat]

This moves me to tears when i listen to it.

Thanksgiving was the start of a remarkable with my late girlfriend...NOBODY sings this better than Barbara

[pierretogo]

check out N'KENGE singing God Bless America at Dodgers Game. She rocks!

[kidcoast777]

I think She is underated in the music world, some people in our society shun her because She is outspoken about the negative things in this world. I say more power to Her, Keep on Kicking Babs.

[Mimieux]

She really is so spectacular.

[colormeandrew]

I went through and removed all the negative comments. Happy commenting. :)

[babsfanatic]

I absolutely love this song!!! Especially the last few seconds of it, it makes me get cold chills.....I just love Barbra.

[billyboylb]

She's amazing and cares deeply about her country.

[billyboylb]

Barbra Streisand doesn't hate Americans. She's given tons of money to help the poor in Los Angeles. You may disagree with her politics which is her right, but she clearly cares deeply about this country.

[cece80girl]

Selena Lovers-

Do u like Selena Gomez? Say add me or i support selena gomez to my Channel Comments then i will add u 2 my Support Selena Gomez List!

[andersonchap]

Despite all of the political remarks I have read here, I loved this rendition of America by Barbara Streisand, she is terrific, I was truly moved by it, and I am a Republican!

[okpapereat]

when was the last time this was played in a hockey game i believe they did play it in the 1980s flames vs la kings in the playoffs

[littlemorella]

I would like to dedicate this beautiful song today to Barack Obama!!!

[luuknobelen]

And I agree!!!!!

Luuk Nobelen, Breda, the Netherlands

[littlemorella]

Hey luuknobelen. Thanks for agreeing. That`s nice. I`m an Obama Fan! He`s great and does a very good job! And brings good old American values back!

[Piboon11]

You sang this song so gorgeously, Barbra. You're the best female singer ever.

[MrCravat]

God Bless America & this is a beautiful rendition and worthy of representing this beautiful song.

I have been blessed to go to the USA on about 17 occasions...and will continue to pray for the land of the free and my my many friends over there as terrorists carry out the work of Satan

God Bless America

[jlo699841]

She is the Best!

[fkd1963]

I wonder who produced/arranged this? She recorded it in 1982 in London during filming of "Yentl."

[torricelli80]

this video is AMAZING!!! Barbra is the BEST!!!

[dgray92237]

Nobody sings like her. I luv you Barbra!!

[samuel90100]

so beautiful.

God bless America and France !!!!!!!!!!!

[peace2baby]

I've never seen this!! Just Beautiful! Barbra is fantastic.

[billyboylb]

Barbra Rocks! We love you!

[baileydebrillon]

I'd REALLY like to know what this woman has done in her life to make people hate her so damned much. She's super talented, perhaps. She speaks her mind concerning the future of America, maybe. If you don't like her, why come post notes about her? Someone who hates her, please respond and let me know since you frequent Streisand sites enough.

[randigrogan]

I hate people who are racist as in the last comment. She is by far a SuperStar! Barbra your fabulous, like Butta!

[briggenhirt1]

THANK GOD you live in a country where you can freely say that and .... I bet Barbara agrees wit ya all the way to the bank!

There are many men out there who would just move in on her if her nose had a door!

Personally, I think she's absolutely awesome!!!!!!! She's a task master and profectionist and those two qualities have served her well and made her quite wealthy and famous.

[billyboylb]

God Bless America and God Bless Barbra!!!

[punisher21200]

You bring me to tears Barbra!

[coolspindrift]

MY GOD.....Flawless, perfect pitch. Incredible interpretation. Thank God for Barbra....We love you!!!!

[ravenm1993]

God Bless America!!!

[MerkavahmkIV]

gotta love it.

[buddmar]

This is a free country and we all have a right to our opinions and beliefs ... although I question if intolerant bigots understand what American freedom is about!

[singmeasong]

how does she suck?she's one of the legendary singers from the past!

[bardbulky15]

Highest selling female vocalist in history..

Barbra... the one and only!

[tbmmoe]

I was in the USAFE band when we made this video. I'm the trombone player with the mustache. As I recall, we did it in London, and took about eight hours in the recording studio.

[randigrogan]

Its interesting reading different opinions about her singing this song, which is truly the most outstanding. If her voice "quivers" which I don't hear its probably due to cause in which this song was sung. Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority, this event was hosted by Norman Lear when many "Liberal" actors, actresses, performers took stage to denounce the moral majority. Thank you Barbra for standing up and being heard, you made a tremendous impact in my life. Brava.

[colormeandrew]

I thought it was one of her best vocal performances ever. The only "quivery" characteristic would probably be the videotape not tracking well during the transfer.

[romanticspirit]

In one Voice.. she sings this song with the audience totally totally outstanding.. She should Run for Politics..

[omrij19]

she's so amazing. great vocals!! love you babs :)

[hollywearsprada]

I'm English...but the way she sings this song makes me want to emmigrate to America!

[mkaro]

ahh, the perm years.

[blairshynola]

at 2:51 is where my head exploded.

[poppazzz]

WOW!As an englishman I've always been somewhat envious of the American anthem,it's always so rousingly sung.Whenever I hear the english anthem,"God Save The Queen",I wanna cringe!But,would someone care to explain,which is the official American anthem,"Oh,Beautiful",or,"The Star Spangled Banner"?And is "Hail To The Chief" another anthem? Confused!

[haggiseater]

"The Star Spangled Banner" is the National Anthem of the USA.

"America the Beautiful" is an American patriotic song.

"Hail to the Chief" is the official anthem of The President of the United States.

[hollywearsprada]

I agree. Our national anthem should be I Vow To Thee, My Country or Land Of Hope And Glory. Well, I think so anyway. I hate God Save The Queen. Grrr.

[jonniemike]

I wish our anthem was "Land of Hope and Glory." I freak out whenever I hear it. It's so grand and fantastic. We've appropriated so many English songs, I'm surprised there aren't "American" words to that one. Seriously, our anthem should be "America the Beautiful." I guess it's not war-mongering enough for many Americans. Sad. JJ

[randigrogan]

I can't get enough! What a voice, what a talent what an American!

[nealbrice]

Perfection as always. esp for the Fourth today.!! Listen Bush and learn.

[JGCK83]

awesome...  thx for posting it =)

[Monrocsol]

She is the BEST.
