  • No one will ever compare to Ms. Streisand!

  • As most of the recording artists record the song than lip sync, Barbra didn't do that for this video, what your hearing is live recording.

  • I love her voice. I just hate this version. it's all.... space like. I wish she had an orchestra or something to sing along with. Not this crap. just sayin. she performed it brilliantly, though.

  • She is truly gifted. What a wonderful talent

  • Simply the best ever!

  • la descubrí la canción allá por los '80 cantada por nacha guevara en un show en palladium que fué magistral. y la tomé como mia...porque algún dia....en algún momento...para nosotros.....será....GRACIAS..­.!!!.

  • this is a beautiful arrangement (David Foster, if memory serves me)... but it wasn't written in 1985. This song is WAY older than that. It's from 1957, written by the great Leonard Bernstein, with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim (these two men, alone, are responsible for the greatest masterpieces on Broadway). 

  • Greatest singer alive:)

  • Babs brings me to tears she is timeless

  • Safa!

  • This song is very emotional and great.

    By the way, she makes a cross LOL

  • Absolutely beautiful! Check out Irish Soprano, Ruth Kelly Bradys version of this, it's a more classical approach but beautiful none the less! I came across Ruth on iTunes and was so impressed I downloaded her entire album...

  • Maravillosa.

  • In my lifetime, there is no other version of this song that compares

  • best contemporary female voice of the era !!

  • @chefjohn777 I feel of the 20th century, at least the last half of the 20th century (some others came close, but Barbra would have had to own that title.)

  • THE BEST SONG SHE HAS EVER DONE, INCREDABLE VOICE ON HER

  • Where did she perform

  • Bab's is a bad ass.... I love her, she is a great person and artist. I had no idea she was 69 born in 1942, she still clobbers anyone and everybody coming on the ropes.....

  • Considering the 'Apocrypha' (i.e. teachings not forming part of the accepted canon of Scripture); and the Gospel of Mary Magdalene... Now what female 'Rabbi' (teacher) can do the Gospel of Mary Magdalene justice..?

  • I love to hear Barbra sing and I love this song, but it was written way before 1985.

  • @bigpappa1953 Yes, that's true, it was written back in the 1950's for West Side Story, but this version was distinct for Barbra's The Broadway Album (actually slightly rewritten) and in that regard the new copyright date was reset to 1985.

  • i cried

  • Wow, so many thanks!

  • A truly Great Song - Great Singer. Just beautiful!

  • She is wonderful.

  • This video and Barbra's performance and singing of this tune still gives me the same wonderful chills, of hope, I got when I first saw and heard this back in 1985 when I was 22 years old. I really do feel this song was meant for Barbra's vocals, I'm so glad she covered it for The Broadway Album.

  • I remember Barbara in a movie called "The Main Event". She had that frizzy hair ;) back then.

    I love it when she had the curls in it ;)

    She's very attractive in this video :)

    She was also in "What's Up Doc?" and "Yentl" and "The Prince Of Tides."

  • I HAVED LOVED BARBRA'S MUSIC ALL MY LIFE. SHE IS THE MOST PERFECT FEMALE SINGER ON THE PLANET BY FAR

  • love this song !!!!!

  • Anywhere's a place for this voice. Absolutely gorgeous. Love Barbra Streisand. :D <3

  • Somewhere there is a place.

  • @123MsGleek ikr!

  • Omg rachel berry is identical to barbra

  • Barbra and West Side Story = <333333333333333333

  • This woman is fucking awesome!!!! Merry Christmas to everyone:)

  • I lived with this song. The most wonderful ever.

  • One of the most beautiful songs sung by The Most Beautiful Female Singers In History....

  • The Broadway album is her Best. This is one reason why. Earned that Grammy!

  • she is one of the most powerful singers! what a voice!

  • @greenawayish SH IS SUPER STAR GOD GIFT NO ONE CAN TOP THIS VOICE AND THIS SONG IS BEAUTIFUL SONG NEVER AGAIN AMEN

  • What the hell can you say...except....jesus f%#k...she

    IS unbelievable

  • Ahhh 240p. We meet again...

  • What a voice!!!

    

  • Her voice is soo amazing.

    I can cry about this, it's so beautiful.

  • im crying

    

  • she has an awesome voice

  • awesome

  • SEMPRE NOS ENCONTRAREMOS EM ALGUM LUGAR;SEJA NO PRESENTE OU NO FUTURO...ESSA É A NOSSA MELHOR ESPERANÇA!!!

  • Qué pasa? por qué cambia el texto de lo que escribí?

  • Comment removed

  • My, Barbara Streisand i will not get tired of being your fan. You're timeless!

  • solo barbara, su nombre expresa su talento.....

  • Bárbara Streisand- Ela é simplismente MARAVILHOSA- sua voz é como a de uma Fada do Éden. O que dizer desta DIVA AMERICANA. Muito Refinada,Clássica e Bela também!!! Parabéns a Ela!!!!!!

  • What a song..what a voice....

  • this song speaks to me about the hope of human beings realising that we are all one of the same race, and that hopefully, we will realise this before it is too late...

  • @hecnj001 This song speaks to me of a love I lost at the tender age of 18 due to an unfortunate horse riding accident. Whenever I hear this song I think of Geoff and the hope that one day I will see him again. He died 29 years ago....

  • this song can teach us all.......

  • i miss when u said omg that song is beautiful..now all music is so sintetized and with no passion

  • Beautiful

  • This song, particularly the intro, just sends me into orbit...like Heaven's opened up it's golden gates, and the sun is glorious in it's horizon, and a choir of angels are to my light, smiling upon me.... and a man with a dove on his shoulder and open arms awaits me.... Makes me cry.... I want Somewhere. I want Someday.

  • She gives me chills down my spin every time. I love her :-)

  • goose bumps xx

  • This woman makes every hair on my body stand straight up. Absolutely magnificent... absolutely magnificent... and she is singing this same song with Jackie Evancho on Jackie's next album, Dream with Me... a 68 year old woman with an amazing set of lungs and a 10 year old child... let us all take a deep breath for Jackie.

  • si.. Babra es una testigo del tiempo, que capitalizó el dolor judio de la segunda guerra.. y tiene ese dolor en su garganta... jamás sabremos si volveremos a tener una Diva de este calibre

  • Não existem palavras para expressar tamanha beleza e magnitude expressada através da interpretação desta inenarável canção.

    Simplesmente SUBLIME !

  • Katy Perry, Rhianna, Lady Gaga - how inferior you must all feel listening to this performance.....

  • Never mind if she's black or white, rich or poor, democrat or republican, jewish or protestant or chatolic..., she's the best american singer I know. She has the most wonderful and moving voice I've ever heard. She's unique. It's difficult not to cry or shiver when we're listening to Barbra Streisand songs, especially when she reaches the high notes. And I not only admire Barbra for her voice, but also for human clause and more(presenter, comedian, actress, director, ...). Simply Fantastic!!

  • @DecoBuarque The Lady can definately sing

  • @DecoBuarque how ever thought of that, she a human being for gods sake and she sings great. i believe she the most talented woman i ever known. i give a damn whatever she is

  • @DecoBuarque I grew up with the amazing talent that is Babs... I remember watching "on a clear day you can see forever" and thinking that I wanted to be like her! I learned to sing with the same dynamic control that she does, but there is no copying Babs.

  • Wonderful arrangement by David Foster, superb performance by Ms. Streisand of a great Sondheim song.

  • Her tone freaks me out because its to good to be true!!

  • Não há igual, uma das melhores vozes do Mundo.

  • (((4)))

  • @Gameslover99 if cant deal with ourself whow ....e.

  • 4:13 - 4:30 -one of the most magical moments in music history

  • first time I have seen this video,great,I a few of her cd's in my collection,I have always loved her from the moment that I as a child in the mid sixties heardn her sing second hand rose,wonderful voice

  • Sencillamente maravillosa, con todo el corazon

  • Barbra you`re the Best, the most beautiful lady in the world, this song it`s so beautiful, i`m leaing to you since 1970, great, real great.

  • This song gives me chills!  Absolutely magnificent!

  • Any comments posted reflecting anything less than the beauty of God's love that radiates from this very talented artist/woman are simply sad and do not deserve any further recognition, but rather prayer and visions of what this song speaks of.... the understanding that there is a place for all of us in all our uniqueness..... Somewhere... someday.....

    Every culture brings it's own sense of beauty - the choice is ours to embrace it or not....

  • Divine.

    Really truly hardcorely divine.

  • Her son has the same birthday as me August 29. I love you Barbra/Mama

  • perfect! :)

  • Can't stand her politics with a PASSION. Having said that i do think in regards to her as a singer , actress and director she delivers excellence .

  • @computerpurple .Agree,aside from her idiotic politics,she is one of a kind. Artistically  she is in a class of her own.

  • I think she is absolutely perfect.

  • P J Proby put down the definitive version of this song long before Babs.

  • @sexyrexysexy By the way you have terrible punctuation skills.

  • @sexyrexysexy You know your use of curse words does not make you look any smarter, in fact- it makes you look like a fool with a lower vocabulary than you think you have. Maybe it's you who should go back to junior high and learn a few new words.

  • God Bless you Ms Streisand you are an angel sent from God in the movies

  • my most favorite singer of all time - i love babs and no one will ever take her place

  • My favourite of all time. She is flawless,i get lost when I hear her voice not wanting to be found.

  • absolutely brilliant, barbra streisands music will never die out, she sends shivers down my spine, i met and married my husband listening to barbra streisand, and when i listen to her, she brings back so many happy memories.

  • This is an awesome song! It is timeless and beautiful just like Barbra!

  • I deadicate this song to all the GOOD times we had in life, now life has changed everybody is gone, maybe someday we will be together again in a better place!

  • Comment removed

  • Powerful and moving, very beautiful. 

  • I can almost forgive her politics when listening to this song. :-) Thank you, Ms. Streisand.

  • @elementaryre Gotta force YOUR politics on a musical outlet? Whatta jerk. With that overbearing attitude, why should anyone give a flying fart about your politics?

  • goosebumps in my face

  • bullshit

  • awsome

  • is this david foster's sound? very rare!

    

  • My idea of the "Space Junk" leading to the song. I'm guessing the video editor meant it to indicate that "Somewhere" can be any place in the universe and the intent is to symbolize a space traveler randomly moving through space looking for some meaning for his travels. The traveller moves past the sun, past Jupiter, past Saturn and zeros in on the beautiful blue planet from where he senses the definition of his travels is emanating.

  • He passes over oceans and land masses focusing in on New York City and subsequently Radio City Music Hall where he encounters the sweet and exhilarating Goddess of song describing the essence of his journey.

  • No one sings a song like Barbara. She can take someone elses song, put her spin on it and make it better.

  • a favorite album among us Barbra fans... back to the roots album...

    really no other talent quite like her.. that booming voice with all the range..

    and great taste in music...our generation was lucky to have her...

  • She is awesome...

  • I don't know what to say.....

  • so cold ...

  • merci ,,,,french ,,sorry . ...thanks you , for melody ,,is ...amen ...

    alleyhouya .

  • Gyönyörű, csodálatos,művészi, megható!

  • This song is so incredibly 80's. All that electro reverb crap, and the video is over dramatic. It is so overdone that I actually start to find it appealing.

  • @UnitedColorsofTom It's weird, really, It IS very '80s in its electro verb crap, yet almost feels '70s for other reasons.

  • Wow, all that space travel crap at the beginning really killed this gorgeous song... Then the other images shown had too little to do with the song. Leonard Bernstein would find this rendition more than a little absurd, I think.  Sorry Barbra.

  • I saw her do this song in person, awhile after the video --

    You could die and say you have heard singing in your life.

  • This is my favorite Barbra Streisand video. It is so magical and mystical. I love everything about it. Her voice, outfit and the direction. I watch it every day to start my day. I still cry every time I watch it. Now this is my idea of a drug. How could anyone not love this woman and her genius talent?

  • I agree. She can do a beautiful job with this song, but this is overlaid with so much irrelevant stuff, the simple beauty of it is lost.

  • I agree. She can do a beautiful job with this song, but this is way over the top. I have no idea what the "space junk" is supposed to symbolize.

  • @jecurrier57 The "space junk"? It's symbolism yearning for universal peace and depicting how small we are in this universe. Not that difficult.

  • amazing song, amazing video !

  • Głos Barbry Streisand jest jednym z NAJPIĘKNIEJSZYCH głosów !!!

  • Well, 3102 people like this, and 116 do not, and to suggest that it is "over the top" is to misunderstand the genius of the arranger's art, which in this, is nothing short of stunning. I was impressed 25 years ago, and I'm still impressed now. Streisand created something very special with this song and the entire Broadway Album.

  • @32SERPENT1Hi!

    Excellent comment!

    As I recall, in the MOJO Songwriter's edition, published August 2000, featuring the 100 greatest songs ever written, as voted by songwriters, people like Carole King, Jimmy Webb, and Paul McCartney, this song came in at #26; and this version, Barbra's from the Broadway Album, was described as the definitive one.

    Stephen Sondheim actually contributedto it; it topped the Billboard charts, and it won two Grammies.

    A joy for all time!

  • Please don't use such offensive language... we are all human and this song has always been of unity and love for decades...

  • wow, she can fuck up a great song with the best of them

  • @pretorious700 ........Look I don't agree with her political view's..However you can't disagree or ignore that she is a very talented lady....

  • @Dadoox92
