Barbra Streisand - Send in the clowns - 2000

[jazzmanpiano1]

i think it is very difficult to beat Frank Sinatra's rendition of this song. but bugger me she came pretty close

[waggietoo]

waggie lipsync, streisand too, take a look

[blond4532674]

LA MEJOR



[TheMadelineJoelle]

she looked so sad at the end! she has true emotion

[mgslawyer]

Barbra & Stephen Sondheim are International treasures. They make the world a better place to live. Thank you!

[99Gwendolyn]

God! She's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! Those 37 people were crying so hard they missed the like button and pressed the dislike!

[FILMANLAND]

PERFECT. JUST PERFECT...

[egurzi]

isnt it rich? already disapprove. you cant do tricks and stand on your head? thanks for trying(sarcasm)

[voice1]

This is a much better interpretation than her previous attempts...more true to the lyrics...more delicate. Terrific.

[daisies53]

Wonderful!

Thank you!

One of my favourite all times songs and sung by Barbara Streisand is just beautiful!

[mikeknight4u]

A clown singing send in the clowns. Classic!

[Starchicky12000]

Streisand did amazing but just the pure song enforces my absolute love for Stephen Soundheim.

[SpinKicksusplits86]

send in those soulful and doleful schmaltz by the bowlful...

[Soapluvva]

Nick Davis (played by Lawrence Keith) sang this at his restaurant, Le Chateau, on "All My Children" around 1974.

[cooligalgirl]

this is really so timeless .love this song .

[EricGSins]

I love Babs, I do... However, this was the least moving performance I have ever seen from her. Now, I see how money distorts art and talent. The thought of paying someone a billion dollars for doing what is so natural is just WRONG, actually it is wrong to accept the money for it at least that much.

[billyboylb]

@EricGSins I hear ya. However, in a free market one can get what they demand. Fortunately, she gives away tons of her money.

[ponnef]

the Voice!

[petitprince05]

Her expressions and musical articulations are some of the best I've ever seen (and will ever see). Utter perfection. If I ever see her in person, I think I'm gonna bow for her - Lion King style.

[kjftrio]

just amazing!!! people loves this song should also check out

Zarah Leanders version on youtube.

[kjftrio]

just amazing!!!

@mysweeteventhorizon we all are to some degree...embrace it honey :)

[mysweeteventhorizon]

@western840

That was sarcasm......

I simply can't see myself romping through moonlit fields engaged in random acts of howling, wild-eyed fudgepackery!!!

Just saying......

Word!!!

[axelsandi]

@mysweeteventhorizon u need a good porn to wake up :P

[markwnichols1]

@mysweeteventhorizon I know I was gay the first time my mom turned me on to miss babs.shes incredible even at 70.the last truest diva left!

[jarredondo12]

Barbra Streisand has one of the most crystal clear voices I have ever heard. She is one of the best classical-pop artists that outshines any other. Go Ms. Streisand!

[LizzieBu123]

I love her, she is my idol!

[ImABroadwayLuver]

@hammerhead51294 you realize she started her career in the 1060's right? are you that stubborn that you can't admit talent when you see it. Age has nothing to do with talent. And mjs dead...so old news. Barbra's voice is timeless

[jon9111984]

So beautiful, almost impossible to listen and not get teary-eyed

[hswatnik]

one of her greatest renditions of a song-

[HPG747]

. . . Ageless, classic voice.

[musicman257]

great voice even to this day she still aint bad looking for her age .

[srogerh1]

Where & when was this recording from please?

[srogerh1]

is she dressed as an olive?

vocals = magnifient.

[rightnerdyflabby]

@rightnerdyflabby magnificent even

[ForCarolToEnjoy]

Coming back for another listen No one but no one has the nuance that Barbra does......This is actually a very profound song not romantic at all Yet, it is so mesmerizing.....

[AlittleBitOfLUXURY]

@ForCarolToEnjoy

I love it because its alo very classy and elegant too...got it as feature video over here :-)

glad u enjoyed it hun :-)

[inousch]

●▬▬▬▬▬▬Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄ƷWONDERFUL SONGƸ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ▬▬▬▬▬● 

[ForCarolToEnjoy]

One of my favorite songs ever written sung as only Barbra can sing it. Thank you, Nick

[Roflzmahwoflz]

This song is so shitty

[lakunn]

saben he escuchado 20 veces este tema, para es la mejor cantante del mundo, soy chileno la  admiro

[BehindTheLyric]

i love how her expressions evolve in her eyes to tell the story

[shawnwiggidy]

@nerodeadbeat.....I think your mom was an incredible just singing this song.....I don't know you but understand....

[clicky3000]

She sholds the micro phone annoyyingly

[MusicLoverBrian1]

@clicky3000

Well at least she is HOLDING the microphone and at least she is really SINGING! Most singers today look stupid on the stage doing their choregraphed dances with a mike around their head lip-synching to a song straight from their CD. Why in the hell would you go pay money to go see that?? I much would rather go pay money and see Barbra Streisand hold the microphone like that anytime day of the week!

[PhDinExistence]

Barbra's gift is that she presents musical environments for us to live in for the duration of the song. No one else has that ability to anywhere near her level.

[76sconcerto]

magari la cantasse MINA, m aha troppo rispetto per SArah vaughan...

[TheEarthgirl61]

Not as good as Glenn Close's version.

But it would be impossible to top that one.

Damn good all the same.

[NERODEADBEAT]

my moms used to sing this to me when i was a kid it used to make me cry ...she had such an amazing voice ...she was an amazing woman RIP MOMS LOVE YOU XXX

[nogoodboyo69]

sondheim shiver!

[bltgradeshcool]

loosing my timing this laaaaaa....... in my career????? 2:10

[shawnwiggidy]

Timeless classic...I luv it...and Barbra Streisand is incredible

[saadmll]

im backing to 80 - 90s

I need a time machine to make my dreams come true

please

[cljoyner39]

Look a little deeper here...clown metaphor for "it's a joke"! Clowns all around and so are we.

[asmileisspecial]

@cljoyner39 Actually 'send in the clowns' is a reference to the circus where if an act went wrong they'd send in the clowns to distract the audience. :)

[FunPuff1998]

clowns arent exactly ........... friendly

[hubertgreen]

This could be a good theme music to movies like "the clown".

[hineni53]

'' sure of my lines but no one is there ''.

[creampuffrus]

Tim Tebow listens this to get himself fired up for the Broncos games. Were in trouble!

[AndersonCorCino]

Wonderful!!!

[viveeann]

i am captivated.

[voluptuouslypretty]

She still looks amazingggg for her age and the voice timelessly golden....always a great package...

[AllAboutLOVEatYuToob]

love this and Barbra :-)

[Jigglesw]

why shes never payed Desiree in A Lttle Night Music is beyond me.

[bestbunny10]

A voice for the ages....Unbelieveable.....a truly grat singer interprets the words and she does an amazing job..

[bestbunny10]

A voice for the ages....Unbelieveable.....

[basimalas]

The singer from South Park : * Bar-bura, Bar-bura, ugoina chichi da. (Barbra, Barbra, those tits are wonderful) "

[GanjaMunchman]

@basimalas

AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaahahahahxD

[brrynefin1946]

She sings it beautifully. The pity is Johnny Mathis sings it better but there is no copy of his version on Youtube.

[ShoreScout]

Commie chic sings well.. ..

[Devourthebook15]

It's so weird... I find that this song makes me nostalgic, but I heard it for the first time yesterday... I also find it beautiful and vaguely creepy at the same time.

Wow. I love it when songs invoke these crazy thoughts in me... gives my brain something to chew on for a while.

[finnpalm]

ooOOooOOooOoOOoooo

[sapperzulu]

Krusty the Clown did a better job... he had more passion

[HalfPinoy100]

barbra streisand has a sublime vocal quality...but Dame Judy Dench is the best performer of this enigmatic song, imho

[funyethaXII]

Isn't it rich, are we a pair Me here at last on the ground You in mid-air Send in the clowns Isn't it bliss, don't you approve One who keeps tearing around One who can't move Where are the clowns Send in the clowns Just when I'd stopped opening doors Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours Making my entrance again with my usual flair Sure of my lines No one is there

[funyethaXII]

Don't you love a farce, My fault I fear, I thought that you'd want what I want Sorry my dear! But where are the clowns There ought to be clowns Quick send in the clowns What a surprise, Who could foresee? I'd come to feel about you What you felt about me? Why only now when I see That you've drifted away? What a surprise... What a cliche... Isn't it rich, isn't it queer Losing my timing this late in my career And where are the clowns Quick send in the clowns Don't bother, they're here

[DominickJ]

I love Streisand. Her singing, her acting on stage and screen. The epitomey of talent...

[lunasol2007]

oooohhh i love this song OMG!!! T___T

[Elzibubb]

I'm not crying!

[Nanmas9]

She does an amazing job with this song, as does Judy Collins, etc. Instead of saying one is better than the other, why can't we acknowledge they are all great, each protraying their own individual interpretation of the song? I love them all!

[principalp]

Judy Collins does a great job of this song and Dame Judi Dench kills it too.

[HalfPinoy100]

@principalp

yeah..Dame Judi Dench is the best singer of this song...

[principalp]

Judy Collins does a great job of this song and Dame Judi Dench kills it too.

[grantii]

This version is ok...however I haven't heard a version yet that can beat Sarah Vaughan's version....sorry Babs...good shot though....

[tracmag]

Do you get the feeling that more than one voice is coming out of her.

[skye1212]

No one else comes close in my book.

[airsquad1]

WOW,SHE is so TALENTED and LOVELY.I saw HER play at the staples center,just a HEAVENLY Performance. WE LOVE YOU VERY MUCH BARBARA STREISAND,Thank You for a MAGICAL PERFORMANCE.

[PashaRabit]

Ok, but not great. Streisand is a good singer, but her phrasing on this doesn't fit the song> If you want to hear a great verson, get Judy Collins' version---it's much trueer to the feeling of the song.

[Lainer1]

She looks great and sounds great here.

[Kafeifei]

This isn't even the full song.

[lovosazul]

Wow! What a voice! Awesome!

[timrayful]

No one can sing this as she does. I believe she is truly the greatest singer of our time. What a voice. I could listen to her sing this song all day. Thank you Barbra for that incredible voice.

[terrygus1]

for sure this is timeless------1,000,000,000 hearts feel this.

[BruceOCz]

Timeless indeed...

[Erictheeviltwin]

Ahhh.... Goosebumps...

[partlymedia]

I am the clown...and yet still she loves me. I am amazed every damn day and night. Thank you, Anngail, for such a true heart. Your Donny.

[alfie4472]

what a beautiful rendition she makes...

[HeartzWAY17]

Barbara Streisand ... Timeless and Classic ... a Treasure !!! Always perfect performance ... She is amazing !!! I Love her ... just Beautiful !!!

[taxfundi]

She may be, as you state "ugly" but with a voice like this, who the hell sees it. She is beautiful.

[Nectanabis]

@taxfundi I actually think she's quite beautiful. And I'm 21. Her singing is sublime.

[taxfundi]

@Nectanabis That's why I said, "as you state 'ugly'..... I agree with you completely. People are so quick to judge others, heavens, just close your eyes and HEAR the beauty. Tthat should be enough. And it is for most people, but to each his own, i guess. I love her voice.

[Damon2131]

@Nectanabis I totally agree. She is gorgous. I have always loved her beauty and her singing ever since I was young. And now I'm 36.

[mattdaddyful]

@taxfundi good comment...i luv her regardless..and im a straight 35 year old male...

[LT1HILLINGHOE]

The more liberal she gets, the uglier she becomes.  Kinda afraid to look at any 2010 vids of that thing. Ruff ruff.

[TheHawk1959]

It's a sad day when you hear not 1 but 2 fools who there could be a better version of this song than the legendary Barbra Streisand.It just baffles my mind.Justn Who Bieber What.Come on people get real!!!!!!!!

[noodlesmealey]

why doesnt I.C.P. do this song on their greatest hits! ill look for it at target.

[dmr4846]

I was most fortunate to see Ms. Streisand in Anaheim several years ago. I can still remember vividly seeing her sing one of the songs from her first broadway production on TV (I think it was American Bandstand). She has the rare talent to make almost any song "her song."

[theblueangel28]

shes the best

hers is always the best version of anything

sublime

[ddias001]

Her lips look so swollen.

[ziggy577]

Opera singers are in class of their own. Barbara is not an opera singer, but she has great talent and a beautiful singing voice.

[justinbieberforking]

She's okay, but she isn't as good a singer as Justin Bieber.

[PalkaSvechi]

@justinbieberforking :I

Are you serious or are you just trolling

[proudtobefromwv]

@justinbieberforking Who are you trying to BS? Your little TWERP Justin is a "NOBODY"! They wouldn't leave him on stage with Barbara, or any other great singers. She has been singing before he was born. You should take you stupid, and I MEAN stupid remarks somewhere else. While you are at it, have your Mommy change your diaper.

[stevie452]

@justinbieberforking  hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, etc......

[susieq8424]

@justinbieberforking HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now all you Justin Bieber fans have reached a new level of stupidity, hahahahahahaha! That kid can't even sing to save his ass! Bah! Go get your ears (and brain) checked!

[stevesg92]

@justinbieberforking that actually made me choke...

[DreamsofRay]

@justinbieberforking please tell me you are kidding -_-

[alyxandre2006]

Barbra simply wonderful voice that was beautiful without paralvas.

[micmic401]

BOŽANSKI GLAS , BOŽANSKE DAME........BOŽA SRCE, KAKOR ROKA IZGUBLJENEGA LJUBINCA.............

[laggie24]

I was so deeply watching her here and concentrating on each and every word she hits the notes, that I forgot to take a breath and realized my heart skipped a beat...

All the way throughout my life, I felt Barbara is the most talented heart passion singer I have ever heard.

"Send in the Clown" has do many meanings for me.

Deeply appreciate this excellent sound and pic. ... from Budapest

[DavidoffGustav]

@laggie24 you need to hear more singers.. especially opera singers.. streisand is a treasure but there are some other's that you need to hear.. listen or watch Madam Butterfly with Freni when she says goodby to her son before she kills herself and she sand with full orchestra for 50 years without any loss of beauty or tone!

[Rozicska]

The queen of all time!!! It is a real diva. I love it, wonderful sound. I am proud, that throughout kisérte my youth his sound. He the first one, who is never boring,:)

[sweeney60]

Considering what happened to Barbra, this song probably has a much more literal meaning for her when she sings it. I love her arrangement of it.

[TheFockerizer]

This song reminds me of Krusty the Klown

[mazhogan]

T

heF  ockerizer obviously you and krusty must be friends

[nhiapthao]

@TheFockerizer definitely.

[HijadelaIglesia]

@TheFockerizer  LOL !!!!!!!

[WikeddTung]

@TheFockerizer

send in the clowns, those laffy daffy clowns.

send in those soulful and doleful,

SCHMALTZ! by the bowlful clowns.....

[dantean]

@TheFockerizer This would be because you are an 8 year old. Since there was no Simpsons when this was written, do you not suppose your comment translates as "I am 8 years old?" Enjoy nappy time.

[TheFockerizer]

@dantean

dude I don't know you and you don't me, what I said was nothing offensive. So there's no need for that attitude of yours

[MONY1302]

Simplemente MARAVILLOSA!! Esto es cantar y no babosadas como Thalía y otras que se creen cantantes y lo único que hacen es gritar sin ton ni son.

[eyaaah]

One of the most beautiful songs in history

[Chloe1132]

her name always reminds me of the duck sauce song... but it is a beautiful song :')

[smeadog2010]

This is the best vocal performance i have found on here...this song is beautiful. However, i am a band fanatic, and the Santa Clara Vanguard has simply the BEST arrangement ever...if you are into that sort of thing, of course :)

[Mint89674523]

@smeadog2010 I probably wouldn't have found this video if I hadn't seen SCV's rendition of it first.

[scoreyourlife]

This a really wonderful performance.

My favorite is her live One Voice concert.

It's truly the definitive version of that song. Everyone always over acts it and play the tragedy-- not Barbra. She finds the irony, self-deprecation and humor in it. And then just when you think she couldn't top her amazing acting- she sings it so breathtakingly perfect. She is the best.

[ricjava]

Sorry, but Ruthie Henshall is better then that and Sarah Vaughn.

[remedy82]

someone please punch her. can't stand her hyper-vibrado and her disgusting nasal sound in the higher registers, and the fact that she thinks she is the greatest person to grace the crust of this earth in all of history. I just want to kick her in her balls.

[highdopaminelevel]

@remedy82 sorry but i don't understand what you're whining about..sure, her voice here isn't as good as when she was in her 20s, 30s but she's still an amazing singer..that's one of the facts that will remain forever, right along the alley of the earth being round..and even though i know for sure that she have never said that she was the greatest person in the world she might just be one of the greatest for all we know..she opened numerous avenues for women during her time and since..

[jamieleeke14]

@remedy82 Don't watch videos of her singing then? It's pretty simple.

[pauloisilda]

@remedy82 Sorry to disapoint you but she is the greatest person to grace the crust of this earth...why bother to look her up on youtube if you don´t like her...go look up some fly infested crap more suitable to your vulgar taste...

[Nectanabis]

@remedy82 but she is great. And yes, probably the greatest. Her singing is flawless, and her vocals just keep getting better and better.

[Kapitannemo]

You know, I never understood what they said about Barbra being homely...she's positively gorgeous.

[highdopaminelevel]

@Kapitannemo i know! especially when she was in her 20s-40s..drop-dead GORGEOUS!

[DONGOE]

Is this a song about the 2008 election?

[Hunkola]

BABS !!

[TopJimmyWinn]

Amazing!

[klemens3333]

My hearing (or body... not too sure) tells me that Ruthie Henshall's version sounds far more feminine... and subtle.

[AshleyShell343]

<3 Barbara

[pauloisilda]

BARBARA the QUEEN!?!

Will always love you...thank you for all the moments of bliss

[dirtyblondny]

in honor of the song Babs dressed in her clown dress

[TimKoopman10]

@dirtyblondny LMAO! thumbs up :D

[haydenman2]

She is singing about clowns but must clowns are carnies.

[Kaspleen]

@haydenman2 If you are confused about why she is singing about clowns then read up on the song it will all make sense

[gregoryshark]

That dress is fit for a clown haha!

[pauloisilda]

@gregoryshark The only clown I see here is You!?!What do you know about couture anyway?It cost maybe half your lifes salary idiot...

[Jitpring]

If she'd only stick to singing!

[ulovenickjonasxo1915]

there is know better nperformer or singer than barbara

[DaxShaw]

I've always felt to do this song correctyl you have to be a great actress as well as a great singer, she fits both cateogories. Gorgeous version

[RandRdriver]

i Love you Barbra!
