@blueeyes61553 You're ignoring half of the lyric. It's "What's the difference if I say 'I'll go away' when I know I'll be back on my knees some day?"
So basically..what's the point in threatening to leave when I know I'll always come back. No matter what he has done or will do to her, she loves him so much that she just can't live without him. It's tragically beautiful.
two women hav redefined beauty, Audrey Hepburn and Barbra Streisand. Ms. Streisand you are the most amazing woman in the world and i will always love you and Whitney Houston, the last true divas.
I love that she sang this so differently than in the movie. She is a truly fine jazz artist, rarely recognized for how damn MUSICAL she is. What an improviser!
Seriously... she could have a face like a toad and it wouldn't make that song any less amazing. Barbra's probably the only person out who is BEAUTIFUL but doesn't rely on her looks for success.
Perfect example (and perfect description, doveskylark) of "perfection." Barbra is a star, planet, an entity all her own. No one can touch her. Listen and learn, Gleeks.
I hope Barbra reads these posts sometime because she deserves to know how special she is. I love these posts. This voice and this talent are a gift from God.
NOBODY can top Barbra. I am 61 years old, heard them all, and Streisand is the GREATEST! All this crap on American Idol could NEVER surpass this magnificent talent.
i love babs. i think she's a better singer than mariah carey. and that's a LOT coming fomr me folks. look at my profile and page. it tells all. hahahah i meant better singer emotionally, expressivlly, and musically. yep her and ella F. i think are the only two betta singers thn mariah. vocally mariah got them but those woman take singing to a whole nother level:)
Why are 'web'... folks so 'all or nothing'....Streisand is wonderful, yes, but Garland in full tilt is quite majestic too. As I'm sure Barbra herself would be the first to say!!!
i agree. besides, what's with the comparison anyway? they're so different and they're both legends for different reasons. it's like comparing Michelangelo to Rembrandt... like, wtf. they respected each other and were in awe of each other, we should just do the same.
That 'all or nothing' attitude you refer to is the result of ignorance and/or immaturity at any age. In fact, Garland and Streisand performed together on TV and made history. Comparisons are idiotic.
Who's better Mozart or Beethoven? Miles or Dizzy? Heifetz or Stern? Goodman or Fountain?
Those debates are crazy. At this level, artists must be evaluated with standards they themselves create.
Both Barbra and Judy are great stars in their own rights, I love them both. I love Judy a bit more than Barbra though, Judy has this heart warming quality that makes you so happy. Barbra seems distant at times and kinda cold... Still I love them both! :D
Hahahahaha! With all due respect to you too homosexuals talk about Barbra as much as they do about Judy! In fact gay men were Barbra's original and strongest supporters. She's always stood by us, especially when she found out her son is gay :)
I do agree though that Judy has become a Gay Saint. In fact she is deified in my religion (Ecclesia Antinoi) :P.
Barbra has millions of fans. Men, women, gay straight. I know that. I saw her on Oprah and people were crying when she sang :). It was sweet. Barbra has a beautiful voice and man can she belt! She's a great actress and singer and I adore her. I'm glad you do too :). What your favourite Barbra movie? Mine so far is "Funny Lady". She sings great songs :)
Let me apologize for the Judy couldn't carry Barbra's girdle comment.
i meant it more as a compliment to Barbra than an insult to Judy.
I do like Judy and her daughter Liza as well, esprcially when Liza was really young and appeared on Judy's show.
My favorite Streisand movie is What's up Doc? becasue she is so sexy with the hat on and at teh end with that long hair on the piano, then whe strats singing "As time goes by" and it's pure magic.
I adore Liza ^_^. She's one of my idols, i'm collecting all of her concerts on DVD.
My top four idols, in order, are Marilyn Monroe, Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli & Barbra Streisand. I worship them all.
I saw a clip from "What's Up Doc?" on youtube. It looks really good. Barbra is so funny! It's the scene where she's in the bathtub and Ryan O'Neal is taking off his clothes and notices she's in there and then his wife/gf comes in and the room burns down lol.
@AntinousIsGod1 funny lady wasn't very good. i mean barbra was but it just wasnt' a good movie. it was very fictionalized and made the real fanny brice look bad. she is mean and bratty in funny lady. i wouldn't recomend it.
@lombairedorsale Ummm, I'm very aware that this is from Funny Girl. I was not speaking to you so you can't just come into the conversation thinking you know what you're talking about! I know it wasn't in the play too! I'm not an idiot who goes around shouting off sstuff i don't even know about (that's you!)! But Fanny Brice did sing this song! Oh and please make sure you know how to spell before you post another comment!
@lombairedorsale That's ok. Sorry if I over-did it. I apologize too. I guess we both made mistakes. Let's just settle at the fact we get to both enjoy such an amazing singer as Barbra. :)
Barbra Streisand is certainly the Great Genious of the 2O th century, along with the wonderful Judy Garland,
the two of them were extremely gifted and extraordinary talents: *the only thing we can think of them: it's their chemistrry and their mutual respect for each other
I agree for me it's Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland as the greatest! I love Patsy Cline's voice too but for all around entertainer you can't beat Babs and Judy.
this is one of the most powerful songs I have ever heard. She is one of the most talented and beautiful true singers that I will ever see, and she has impacted so many lives.
God Bless You!!!! You hit the proverbial nail on the head. the first time I saw this I was literally speachless!!! Can you imagine seeing that on broadcast tv oh so many years ago?
God bless you, too. Speaking of blessings, don't you think Streisand's voice is a blessing from God? I wish I could I have seen this when it first aired. You know, when I think of the 60's I usually wish I could have seen the Doors, Hendrix, the Grateful Dead, Janis. But Barbra is just as representative of the 60's as the rockers. I'm a true-blue rock fan at heart, but what I find myself listening to these days is Streisand. I also love "He Touched Me" from the Central Park concert.
Simply flawless. Barbra was one of a kind, she truly was!

Did I say anything negative about Homosexuals?
I never said that Barbra's fan base didn't include the Gay Community.
My point was that Judy nowadays is usually only referenced by Homosexuals where as Barbra is also much more of an Icon across the board.
Do you know how mcuh crap I've taken from Homophopes who calim I'm gay because I'm such a Streisand fan? lol.
