Barry's 15 MINUTES Song Journal: ENTRY #3

[luckystrike4321]

hey,the previous comment wasn't made by "luckystrike4321." it was made by @betterinformed. A WOMAN!

[luckystrike4321]

@manilowqueen i'm not "bitter and jealous"(where would you ever get that idea?) by the way,i'm not a "boy." I'M A WOMAN.i call barry manilow a "twerp" to describe him in a way that's MORE ACCURATE.let's face it,barry manilow's always been NON THREATENING,SUBMISSIVE AND PASSIVE.REAL men are skirt chasers.bary manilow's NOT a skirt chaser.manilowqueen,you are just THICK IN THE HEAD AND A BAD JUDGE OF CHARACTER.you need to grow up and stop being sycophantic to celebrities.

[betterinformed]

THIS IS ANOTHER VERSION OF BARRY MANILOW THAN I'M USED TO.IT'S LIKE ANOTHER PERSON! he seems small and babylike,like he was in the beginning when he first got famous.however now he's another version of THAT.still,this is another version of the barry manilow i would see in the press in the 80s' and 90s'.he seemed more "grown up" back then.now he's like this little twerp.it''s REALLY strange!

[manilowqueen]

@betterinformed Will you please keep your mouth zipped? The more you try to bring Barry down the more you sound bitter and jealous.

You mention a ''twerp'' but I have to say that you are a bloody moron and that is me being kind. Go away little boy and annoy someone else as that is all you seem able to do.

[diva1259]

I think this is my favorite. I've loved this the first time I heard it!

[FanofNYC]

it is a classical "Manilow-Song" - piano, slowly begin, later crescendo, the word, his voice ... LOVE IT (and him)

[judyg26]

Loved the ‘key change!’ It seems many of us long-time fans are able to predict when a key change is about to occur. Heard BOT at QVC in May & eager to hear songs again, live, in Youngstown. Can’t wait! Interviews here remind me of Chicago mini-con before Mayflower release- B played title song. Loved watching him, watch the crowd as his ‘baby' played. Crowd listened, swayed, bounced, clapped. Great to see his sparkling eyes & beaming smile. A thrill for him as it was for us!

[SoJoBarb]

I can just see Barry wanting to sing this! It's adorable you sing these songs many times, and you still love them enough that you just can't wait to sing it once again! No more Grampa begging you to "Sing it". What a great song, thanks for sharing the insight, and for sharing your talent!

[birdmania2006]

Barry Manilow, Brazilians love you! You are the best!

We dream the day you'll come and sing our dream songs here...

The new album is wonderful as everything you write, play and sing.

[PamelaRP]

Thanks for all of these videos and putting this great album out Barry and hope it is in the top 10 if not number 1 it is so great. Love how cute you are and how talented you are. Bring On Tomorrow is the best one I think. Seen you over 20 times all over the US and have loved you since 1973. God Bless ya Barry.

[kitten11645]

Barry I have to tell u this is one of my favorite songs! thanks for sharing these videos with us and for 15 Minutes:)

[OneButterflyHeart]

Barry, I love all of your songs. the cd 15 minutes makes the troubles in my life go away as i listen to it and for that thank you so very much. I think you have a sweet soul i can see it in your eyes and the songs that your do. Wow so great. So when is the next cd coming out? :)

[roloterrier]

I have been to a few concerts now and the thing that I love about Barry is that he is just a normal every day guy who genuinely loves what he does and enjoys the fact that he brings so much pleasure to all of his fans. Barry your new album is great and thank you for sharing these journals with all of us and for your wonderful talent over the years.

[hnanzetta]

Barry, I love this new song, your new CD, and all your music. I saw you in concert in Dallas at a Bette Midler concert in the '70's when you were her musical director and knew then that you were very, very talented. Your smile in this video when you say "Key Change!" is absolutely priceless!!

[eabean98]

Thank you so much for sharing these videos. I would have loved to see these song journals over the years.

[lambarry1]

Barry, you really do look happy and your expressions are adorable. Everyone can see how much you enjoy doing these journals and how much you enjoyed putting this album together and you know what, everyone else can see it too !!!! Again, love BOT and love the album !!!! Thanks Barry !!!! LA

[krimmj1]

I so love this song....and the whole album. AND, with David Wild, one of my favorite reviewers...he has always brought such intelligence to his interviews with Barry over the years. What a joy to watch David's enthusiasm...and Barry's back- stories. Thanks, Barry and David.

[dorothysmom]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Barry Manilow. I saw him for the first time when he was still conductor and arranger for Bette Midler in the early 70's and I knew then that he would be one of the greatest musicians of our time. I love you Barry!!!!!!!

[HelenDarling123]

Barry’s genuine. Not a superstar touting achievement, a regular guy, sharing a project, hoping we’ll appreciate & get it the way he does. His joy makes you feel good. I was at the show when Barry introduced the song. No one left, quite the opposite everyone was enthralled to hear new music! I hope Barry believes he can introduce new material. No one will leave, in fact more will come & appreciate the ultimate musician & showman of our generation; an iconic example of how it should be done!

[SusanDRobinson]

:)) ...... ;)

[composer1756]

I remember hearing "Mandy" in our high school cafeteria in the 70's. As soon as I heard that voice, I knew his music was touching me like I had not known before. Now, I am a composer and I am thankful for Barry's influence on my music. I love the melodic stuff too! Barry, you have given me a music education unlike anything I had in college. Please keep up the writing. It's truly inspirational!!!

[Denise102850]

I LOVE it! Going to see him on 9/11 for my 40th anniversary...hope he sings this that night.

[OBbiller123]

Hey Mr. M whats wrong with the 70's big ballad...WE LOVE IT and it made you famous, key change and all

[MsLasvegashilton]

Bring On Tomorrow drew me REAL QUICK! This is definitely classic you Barry! LOVING every moment of it!! :)

[y2kbookkeeping]

I love it! So glad that you are still wrting songs!  You should do some more!!!!

[carla46coleman]

I am so happy to see Barry taking full advantage of this internet medium. I just love seeing him candidly talking about his new album. I'm honored to be the first one to post on YouTube my reaction. I LOVE IT!!!!! Go Barry. Can't wait for the next enstallment. Love you Barry
