  • I'm pretty sure I'm about 200,000 of those views.

  • Like buttah

  • Barbra, I just simply love you. No other way to put it. Probably alot of it is i have the same birthday as you but eh, I love your voice too!!

  • This is so super duper mega totally awesoMAZING. <3

  • that's a real woman!!!good lord!!voice, talent, brain...

  • @WhiteWhorlify i think you are talking about julie andrews

  • Streisand is a genius. She makes this look like a walk in the park.

  • I wish JUST ONE VIDEO without that "lady-gaga-shit" !comments !! PLEASE!! if you like gaga.. GO AND SEE HER VIDEOS!! leave the rest of the mortals with the rest!!

  • BRASIL EM PESO! HUUHUHUH

  • 12 PESSOAS! FF PODRES!

  • Hahahaha,it's funny how someone commented that at 52 she was too old to sing like this,lol.Well guess what? She's STILL here,17 years on,and STILL singing!

  • Wow! Good for her! Love the song and LOVE the dress! Timeless. Classic.

  • "just" adorable!!! [adorable ==> anBETungsWürdig] *muah*

  • WHAT to explain about #BarbaraSTREISAND -> is "da Nanny" Ms Fran Fine in da house??? *hihihi*

  • I think this is great! :) And as for this being egocentric - let her! If i'd achieved as much as she has and was still doing it just as great in my 50s (as she was then), I'd be bragging far more! But I've never felt that she had a inflated ego, and not here either - it seems to be she's just having fun, from the smile on her face all the way through you can see she's just enjoying it and not taking it as seriously ("acting" the song) as she did when she was younger.

  • Don't kill me ;) But I think Lea Michelle is better, she expresses more and is more convincing :)

  • how DOES she hold that note at the END of the song???? Absolutely brilliant.

  • Lor, what a VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I LOVE her dress and her stage and her shoes and her hair and her singing....and everything about her!!!!!!

  • What does she say at 1:18

  • @oooh55 she says "they used to say talent she's got but those skreeches, sounds like her throats in a sling, and now they say talents she's got but those speeches, why can't she shut up and sing" 

  • She is a legend

  • Goodness! She was 52 in 1994 yet she could managed this!

  • @zekai83 52 is NOT too old to sing like this! Good lord.

  • Love the DRESS!

  • shes not as good as people say

  • @GleekGirl1 Wait, wait, wait...what?

  • I'm absolutely in love with this video and Barbra Streisand. The only problem is that the title should be don't rain on my parade medley or something along those lines.

  • Amazing.!

  • 10 people didn't like she kept her nose :/

  • I want that dress!

  • BRAVO Barbra!

  • Perhaps here "I'm Still Here" would have been good if she had sung the actual lyrics. Barbra, you may think you're good, but you're not above Sondheim's lyrics.

  • @Merkin4pres64 I'm sure he would have OK'd it, after all he's done it for her before.......:-)

  • @Merkin4pres64 She totally is.

  • @Merkin4pres64 - uh, if you had any extensive knowledge of the working process of Sondheim or even Streisand, you may have refrain from commenting on something you're not versed.

    Sondheim tailored the lyric of both "I'm Still Here" and "Everybody Says Don't" specifically for this medley. He has done this for other artists, as well. Thank you!

  • @speyez I actually am aware that Sondheim rewrote the lyrics to this song at her request (he writes this in his book, "Finishing the Hat"), but to ask him to modify one of his most famous songs so she can have one devoted to her vanity and inflated ego is ridiculous. I do support a composer modifying a song at a singer's request. However, I do not support the modified product to serve as a means of self-validation, as Streisand did.

  • @Merkin4pres64 - Okay, cool! I really do appreciate your candor, not to mention class, too, in nailing down even the most subtle lyric.

    And, by the by, isn't "Finishing The Hat" wonderful?! There's a second volume being released by year's end.

  • M'encanta aquest video! Visca la Barbra Streisand i Visca Catalunya!

  • 9 people doesn't even have a parade!

  • There's a reason they say she's the greatest female singer to ever live. Not just voice, but personality.

  • Comment removed

  • LIKE THIS if you think that Barbra is probably the only singer that hasn't changed anything about her, not plastic surgery or anything or like Lady Gaga... Also like if new singers should look up to Barbra!!

  • @TheBlondestBlondie Well, I just watched a video of her not long ago saying she gets cosmetic surgery, but little things. Do you want the link?

  • @TheBlondestBlondie I'm Sorry...? What exactly is wrong with Lady Gaga? She hasn't had any Plastic surgery. Lady Gaga is an Theatrical Singer, Barbara is a Singer. Theres absolutely nothing wrong with being 'Different'

  • God, I love her. <3 <3 :)

  • better than any new artist out there.

    ♥ barbra, you have this sixteen year old's heart. ♥

  • I love her !

  • She's just the best!!

  • She has great endurance for these songs, I have to say. D:

  • Damn. What a performer. Sheer magic!

  • @eggbertsmith so liking a popular tv show makes you a lemming? what if you genuinely enjoy watching it?

  • So we're glee fans. Shut up. Just cause' you don't like it doesn't mean you can make fun of us for liking it.

  • Esto es Cantar

  • she makes me wish i was born wayy earlier. she is my IDOL. and i am very ashamed to say that the only way i know her is from glee. but everytime i watch a video of her performing i get a huge grin on my face. :D

    <3 <3 <3

  • Heard this live in 1994! Thank you Barbra!

  • 3:44

  • In Glee they used a version from Barbra

    A Barbra fan from The Netherlands

  • @WhiteWhorlify Yea, but Andrews did get her singing voice back. 

  • I really like her dress! It's so pretty :)

  • she's is a Quinn in the music.

  • @Marokaanse0 "i am a gleeeeeeek!" Oh rly? I think it's hilarious to admit publicly that you are a victim of conformist cultural brainwashing, with a side order of stylistic retardation. (instead of the usual chipotle dipping sauce). But dont worry, you have lots and lots and lots and lots of company. I would have fit the word "Sheeple" in there somewhere, but there simply wasnt a good spot. It will have to be here: Suck it, sheeple! (ignorance truly is bliss, isnt it?)

  • @eggbertsmith Don't take this the wrong way........I am not a fan of Glee. Never appealed to me---but you don't have to be so snooty about it............so they're a Gleek?? Is that the worst thing ever?? Not everyone loves or even knows Babs. And I do like her..but personally, I think Shirley MacLaine did a much better job w/this song in Postcards From The Edge.

  • I saw the concert in the german televison 1993 i think. In my opinion i is tnot her best of the medley. In my opinion she was not on her best form. Her performance of

    Don't rain on my parades is much better at the Timeless Concert. But this is the miracle on Barbra. She never sing a song identical. And for me this is one of best qualitiy of Barbra to interprate and song different as before

  • i love Barbra, after all those years and she still great!

  • I love Barbra don't get me wrong but ego can do alot too people. I liked her in her earlier years

  • @Evangeline30575 I agree. I prefer her voice as she got older since it matured even more, but I prefer her as a person in her earlier years.

  • this women has to be in her 50's when this was done and sounds great!!!! unlike that crack head whitney whose has destroyed her god given gift and sounds awful but still has the nerve to try and hold a concert.

  • @hardrein101 i agree 100%

  • Barbra will always be beautiful

  • i jus saw her in a movie n i asked everybody who is she n they told me to look her up now im like wow shes a great singer!!!!!!

  • Yea well, she should be nervous. Why the hell do singer change the lyrics of songs. EGO If you don't connect to the song DONT SING IT! Sorry had to getr that off my chest.

  • Is it just me or does she seem to be incredibly nervous. Look at the way she acts and cuts some of the notes short and even repeats before a longer more powerful note.

  • I'm 62. I come from a third-world country, the Philippines, and yet I'm still dreaming to see her sing in person - live...

  • Legend!!! <3 you can get rid of the Britney spears and miley cyrus's and keep Barbra Streisand! <3

  • it seems like her voice isnt as good as it used to be?

    Its still amazing, dont get me wrong !

    But maybe its just because shes gotten older haha

  • @claudioOMG But she still here.

  • @claudioOMG yeah, that jew nose is gorgeous!!!

  • @claudioOMG fuck of racist. She's a talented musician, she isn't famous for being beautiful.

  • Esta mujer es absolutamente maravillosa, en el más grande sentido de la palabra!!

    Su voz es un regalo del cielo. Bravo Barbra!!!!

  • I would like to see anyone of this day and age perform like this.....she is fab!!

  • She is brilliant!!!

  • Comment removed

  • We did a choral arrangement of this at my junior high a couple of years ago.

  • what a fabulous post...memories for me, I saw Barbra The Concert at The Auburn Hills Palace May 19, 1994, the day Jackie Onassis passed away, Barbra dedicated the concert to her....so gracious ! This was to be her farewell concert...so glad it wasn't....ty !...you have a wonderful channel !

  • I have to say I said something that I THOUGHT I would never even considering saying, but, and all the gays please forgive me, the girl from Glee sang it better!! And please, don't rain on my parade, and my b.f. agreed, Babs is in a class of her own, but sometimes you just have to step back and take it like a man!

  • @spiceyhotbj honey, i have no problem taking it like a man...wink wink....

  • I just love her :D <3

  • she needs better voice training!!! she sounds like she very low in tone kinda weak lack of power and tried !!! barbara I know u can sing better than that !!! she needs to sings louder !!

  • The one and only......!!! *sigh*

  • he best voice ever !!!

  • ok random thought of the day.... in some close ups of her, doesn't she look like jennifer aniston? she looks like she could play her mom or something

  • @hpgirl713 That's probably why they had Jennifer Aniston emulate her in this month's Harper's Baazar.

  • @Nakabe125 what do you mean?

  • @hpgirl713 In this month's Harper's Bazaar, Jennifer Aniston channels Barbara in the photo shoot. I figured they must have seen the connection you did.

  • @Nakabe125 thank god, cuz everyone else thinks that im crazy and seeing things. yay for not crazy!!! XD well, at least not the way THEY meant it.... ;D

  • @hpgirl713 omg yeahhh 

  • i agree. the glee version is better i personally think. but both versions are goood.

  • I love that dress! She's still got it and she's never gonna lose it!  She's a legend!

  • I know Barbra Streisand is a bit before my time, she has an incredibale voice and is one of the all time greats. It makes me appreciate music more, then music we have today.

  • i've got the cd. :D

  • Regardless of generation gaps and how young you are, if you're a true lover of music you should be aware of who the greats are, and which songs are long standing Broadway standards.. It doesn't give you much authority or your comment any credibility if you never knew who sang it originally till "Glee" came along then turn around and say which one is better. Just my two cents.

  • She can sing; there's no getting around it. But seeing her live (after selling a child to afford the ticket) is about as exciting as watching an 8-Track.

  • I LOVE YOU BARBRA. YOU ROCK STILL AND ALWAYS.

  • oh my goodness she is so much like my french teacher!

  • @brylynne27 your french teacher must be a hott ass blonde jewish woman. lucky YOU!

  • They should carve her face on Mt. RUSHMORE. The greatest, truly.

  • @Qbendanny GOOD IDEA i <3 her so much

  • I HAVE THIS CD!

  • ty for the gorgeous post...I saw this concert at the Palace in Auburn Hills, Mi. in 1994; Jackie Onassis died that day and Barbra dedicated the concert to her. Memories !!! It was a sentimental evening, she explained that when she first went on the road she performed in a small room and the person who owned The Palace was that owner ! She came for circle, she was so relaxed and sound amazing !

  • in her voice you can still hear the hint on old Barbra coming through :)

  • i luvd it when that 13 yr old girl breanna from australias got talent sung this in the semi finals last week.

  • is she still alive

  • @thechefasian1 bahaha

  • youtube.com/watch?v=U6ocsMHsep­w

  • Barbra's voice is very deep and low pitched in this video, it's strange and unusual, it's almost as if the sound was transposed.

  • i simply love her ! ! ! !

  • Good lord, she is absolutely brilliant!

  • whenever i log into youtube, this is one of the videos i always see!! she is just perfect and time can't reduce anything that she has done and all the success she had and still has in her career! thanks for the upload!!

  • This version is better than the studio one ._.

  • Her voice isn't quite what it was in her prime, but she still sounds bloody good despite her age! She is pure class. :)

  • I love Barbra Streisand! I'm Doing her song Don't Rain on My Parade for My Talent Show!

  • Barbra Streisand's singing manne reminds me of 40s. Wait, I'm 19, it doesn't REMIND me of anything, Streisand lets me be touched by Monroe era. What an elegant emotional and delicately seductive way of singing, amazing !

  • Love it "why can't she shut up and sing" :D

    "Who believes critics- I do"

    "I've kept my nose to spite my face"

    LOVE IT!!

    Long live the Queen!!

  • BARBRA STREISAND IS THE BEST AT EVERYTHING...i love her <333333333

  • I like Streisand's version more than the Glee version. To me at least, it seems more genuine and emotional.

    I love Lea Michelle, and I like her version as well. The only thing that bothers me is that Lea kinda seems fabricated in her emotions. It may just be me.

    Either way, I love both versions; and I love Glee. ^^

  • Lea Michele did a great Job introducing this song to a young generation..Before this i never know this song..until i watch Glee....Streisand should thnx to Lea for introducing her song to a new generation.......ps; i love BOTH version..cant decide which is one is better...

  • @nassrol I totally agree!! If it wasn't for Glee in general, I wouldn't know a lot of songs, including this one, though I watched "Funny girl" a couple of times, it was Lea who made me take a closer look at it.

  • LMFAO! I thought when people immitate her that they exaggerated her gestures. lol they clearly don't.

  • man i love her

  • for all of you who are saying Lea's fantastic version is BETTER than this needs to realize that this is a LIVE recording, and you should find the studio version of Barbara's singing of this song for a proper comparison.

    Also, if you name has "kitty" in it excuse me if I don't take your opinion seriously.

  • @OMGitsaBLAST i had the studio version if barbra..but sorryyy i love lea version more....well everyone has its own taste....u cant aspect other people to love the thing that u love..and u also cant force yurself to love something that u dont....so at the end..eveyone got its own opinion.....but both version are great

  • i like glee version better go lea

  • Blah Blah Blah.... Barbra is the best. Period end of discussion/debate.

  • dude whoever says that glees version is better is smoking crack! Barbra has THE best female voice i have ever heard, no once can sing and hold notes like she can!

  • @LaNacaRockera Ok, I don't know how many one woman shows YOU'VE ever done, but it takes A TON of energy to sing song after song after song and not only sing but ACT each song out. You have no idea how many songs she'd already sung before this and this video was a medley. Which means she had no break between songs!

  • @Akuchan7 lOl oh Snap, the comment police! xD

    i'll turn my "resume" in as soon as i give a damn officer!! i promise xD

  • @LaNacaRockera ....Er, good try.

    Why don't you respond to my argument instead of trying to come up with a clever comeback? You do realize this is BARBRA STREISAND you're saying can't sing?I KNOW you didn't think you'd get away with that one without at least one person coming along to check you. So tell me, what makes you think she sings horribly? (besides being out of breath). Better yet, what makes you qualified to make that judgement?

  • @Akuchan7 dude, breathe! lOl why are you so worked up? is barbara your wife? xD & i don't even have to try to respond, know why? CAUSE I DON'T GIVE A DAMN. i can say WHATEVER I WANT! :P you're the one who's stressing yourself out by trying to out smart someone on a COMMENT. xD get a life! :)

  • @LaNacaRockera lol. No. I'm just so good at debating that I don't have to stress myself out to outsmart you :) And she's not my wife, but I am a fan. And she really can sing. And furthermore, for me, it's 11 o'clock on a school night. It isn't that I don't have a life, but simply that I have nothing else to do to entertain myself on such an occasion.

  • @Akuchan7 oh, yes, an OUTSTANDING debater, on a YOUTUBE COMMENT. xD if you'd like i'll get you a certificate that says "you win! congrats!" xD if it makes you feel better :) get some rest kid :D you've got much to learn :)

  • @LaNacaRockera

    She has one of the best voices and some of the best control over her breathing and resonance chambers I've ever heard. So don't you dare critique her so harshly until you can present a resume that tops hers and sell out a full house of die hard fans every time you perform even at age 67!

  • Oh god she's awesome! I want to see her in concert so bad!! It would be a dream come true.

  • I Love every version but tis is my Fave!!!!!

  • Even after 40 years, she has it!

  • Barbra is so gorgeous oh lol "Hello gorgeous!" I would die if anything happens nshe's so awsume i luv this song and she has so many talents not just acting an singing but more!!!!

  • shes awesome :O

  • Barbra your like butter!!! never stop singing! the world would end!

  • Ok, that was AWESOME! I just went from "hmmm, B. Streisand, I saw her in Hello Dolly once" to "wow, I know her life story, isn't she cool" in 6 minutes.

  • my hero =)

  • isn't she the best? I love this vid.

  • If you don't like her why the hell are you watching this video. Did you just click this video so you could comment on how you don't like her how sad.

  • @HedgehogSteve Sometimes it feels like they have a club.

  • @jsell16 well the video title has "Barbara Streisand" in it. You clicked it, it's not like you were Rick Roll'd

  • No-one has had or will ever have a  better voice than this. A true star

  • Come on, you Forget Freddie Mercury, the best one...

  • U are right ^^

  • @Vincshen You can't compare them that much. Different genders. But both still are amazing.

  • I don't compare them, the thing is if you only talk about the voice, indeed we can't compare them :) Freddie is the best of the best : Power, sensitivity, talent, charisma. Take a look to Freddie Mercury at wembley during the live aid 85'.

    However i like Streisand, Especially don't rain on my parade...

  • my favorite!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i loveeeeeeeeeeeee barbra<3

  • amazing.

  • she's good but she doesn't have the same vocal range as she used to

  • your epic

  • babs i love you

  • Phenomenal! What an awesome voice.

  • ms streisand...You are a LEGEND!!!!!!

  • she is indeed

  • love funny girl, especially when she sings "'id rather be blue"

  • she's gorgeous and still kicks ass!
