  • Name another 70 year old, or even any lay person, who can sing this live!

  • Me nacanta, y para mi suena excelente !!!!!! en mi oido español, suena muy bien.

  • was she sick? she sounds really bad. Sad

  • Oh good grief people get a freakin' life!

  • ONLY BARBRA NONE OTHER CAN TAKE YOU ON A MUSICAL JOURNEY

  • barbra at age 63-still powerfull and with 4 men voices

  • I grew-up listening to Barbra. My Mom is a fan, and I'm grateful for that. What a blessing to hear true talent at such a young age. This song is from my all-time favorite musical, West Side Story. It has SUCH meaning for me. I competed in a solo competition and was chosen to sing this song in front of an enormous audience when I was in high school. I was terrified, and it was the first time I let anyone hear me sing a solo, but the song means so much to me that I just had to do it! SOMEWHERE!!!

  • As always, Barbra makes me Feel the music. Vocals are great Luv your voice.

  • dioss que hermosaa interpretacion!

  • This is the best voice!!!!!!!!!!!

  • BARBRA! SHI IS THE BEST!

  • is amazing!!!!!! <3

  • OMG i just got the chils :D so beautyfull first time i hear her singing wow just amezing :D totaly

  • Lol and people say she hasn't got the voice anymore.

  • Barbra is amazing, but this song is, for me meant to be a duet. that is why the only versions of this song that i can listen to in their entirety are duets of the original broadway cast, the broadway revival and the movie version. But skip that part, barbra is amazing and this song is amazing, her version is amazing, but it doesn't have the same effect on me as a duet does.

  • i heard a lot of versions of this songs, all are beauty, but Barbra's is the only one that makes me wanna cry :)

  • amazing barbra:-) i love the song

  • i listen to alot of great singers, some make me cry ,happy, want to dance or just simply feel good. but when she performs,.... its like, theres more to music, like, im missing something. and she fills it.

  • Il Divo!

  • OH GOD!! OH GOD!!! Multiple joygasms!!!!!!!

  • Who are the operistic singer who back her? This is a wonderful song with them! I love it! I did not know this version before.

  • @61rotiv That's the young pop-opera crossover group "IL Divo". They are a phenomenal group discovered by Simon Cowell.

  • i first heard that voice at the age of 7 now at 49 im still captivated..

  • @ariesrisin26 not to brag but i'm 10 and heard and loved her since 4 years old

  • @alkabayoest r u for real? then i guess its best for you to see her earlier vids from the1960's when she was in her 20s....cant believe a 10 yr old responded lol

    's

  • @ariesrisin26 i do i'm a big fan

  • Wow, her voice at the end was Superb !!!!!

  • the last note...just GOOSEBUMPS!! <3 Barbra 

  • By far my favorite rendition of this song. I listen to it all the time.

  • She is great singer !

  • AMAZING....! AMAZING......!

  • My hero..

    I am10 years old and love this song...

    Please have a listen

    Thank-you.

    Katie :~)

  • Bravo! Here's my Babs and the tenors of course opera turn up the volume and just melt into Somewhere!!!

  • WHY IS SHE SO PERFECT <3 HERRRRRR

  • unbelievable woman  .........wow xoxoxo

  • Powerful. Wow!

  • Wow. What a gift! So proud of her.

  • hey i have uploaded a video of myself singing this song, please listen to it and let me know what you think :)

  • Perfeito!

  • such a beautiful

  • MY GOD!! AFTER ALL THESE YEARS! WONDERFUL! 

  • OH..MY...Goodness!! at 64 she can still blow! Not as she could before but still. fantastic

  • jaw dropping...THIS IS LIVE!

  • She can still hold her notes forever

  • WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VOICE BARBRA HAS ....SHE IS AMAZING!!!!!

  • Ik blijf die stem fantasticsh vinden. Geweldig!!

  • oh lord i just had to catch my breath after that

  • What's so amazing is she would give it all up for her Socialist ideology. They would surely pay her whatever they thought was "fair." You know, spread her wealth around. She would surely be useful to the proletariat, & when she had served them, throw her away like all the other trash. That's what Uncle Joe (Stalin) did with those military leaders he thought were scheming against him. Amazing, isn't it? I think she ought to sing for free so everyone could have a chance to hear her in person.

  • @861alpha Are you high or plain stupid?

  • She's still gotta voice like 'buttah'!

  • Absolute perfection! Her gift leaves me speechless...

  • perfecttttttttt

  • Her voice is still fantastic! She has incredible phrasing, and every word has meaning. How many modern artists dryers to sing a whole concert of intense songs? I do not know ... but Barbra Streisand is such an artist who manages to do such amazing performances! Today there are so many empty-people on stage who consider themselves artists. Barbra Streisand is a model of what an actor and an artist is. So, thanks for the video!

  • Only she and Sinatra have had the ability to captivate an audience in this way. She is a prodigious talent.

  • @kingward100

    Have you ever heard the1973 version live by Diana Ross at Royal Albert Hall in London ?

    I recommend it !

    Ciao, Franco.

  • Love her singing this...but the first few words were a damn mess!

  • she took over the song

  • Il Divo ruined it

  • @ShuttleDiscovery ,

    Gotta say,I totally agree with you!

  • Barbara..you have some set of pipes on you.

  • HER VOICE IS GORGEOUS HERE, I would have preferred if the guys hadn't joined her on this number, saw her with them live, same performance, BARBRA HAS STILL GOT IT, she just sang on Oprah this week and her voice remains very beautiful :-)

  • That last note was impressive. Barbra is still a force of nature.

  • NO ONE can do this song better than Barbra, especially with such incredible backup!

  • mm, listen to Karon Noble

  • awesome and then some-

  • She's awsome like Celine Dion they're better through the years!

  • Comment removed

  • Wow Barbra!! You're magnificent!

  • I have to admit this white lady can sing her ass off.

  • @menu68 lol.... not only that but there hasn't been a single better/more powerful/ clear voice than hers on the planet ever... she was 64 in this video and actually I'd say her voice's potential was at like 60% here... ageing kills even the vocal chords... type this on the youtube search : on a clear day timeless. watch the whole 2 minutes .. she wearing a big dress... that was in 2000... 11 years ago... her voice... just speechless

  • I saw her on this tour. She was awesome. Hearing that voice live is amazing.

  • Hot damn...

  • What??? HER VOICE IS AS GOOD AS EVER!!! SILLY.... I THINK EVEN BETTER NOW. SHE'S THE BEST SINGER EVER AND SHE IS ONE CLASSY WOMAN.. SHE'S AN ANGEL...LOVE U BARBRA ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL. BECAUSE OF U MY FAVIORT MOVIE EVER IS "A STAR IS BORN" I COULD WATCH THAT MOVIE A MILLION TIMES AND STILL CRY EVERYTIME TOO.... LOL

  • this was one of the best matches of all time... saw them  in Boston... it was incredible!!

  • Fantastic Barbra, and Il'Divo

  • well does this lady still have ir or what! amazing! im been a fan my whole life and that performance just renforcise my opinion that she is the best ever!

  • what a voice! i love her so much!

  • A voice clear as a crystal bell. Just stunning,and such a God given talent.How lucky we truly are.God bless her.

  • absolutely exceptional amazing performance

  • WOW .

  • omg just amazing !

  • Es cierto, su voz ya no es tan espectacular como era antes. Ahora es un poco rasposa, pero por Dios.. Quien puede cantar como ella a su edad? Aun conserva el encanto y la personalidad que siempre ha tenido, y su voz, aunque ya cansada por el tiempo, deja ver muchos destellos de lo que fue un dia: La voz mas espectacular que hemos oido en America. Dios te bendiga, Barbra, Siempre seras la numero uno.

  • WHO are the 12 that dont like this??

  • Awesome.

  • la qualità del sound è l'ultimo passo non il primo......il primo passo sono le idee.....

  • SHE IS STILL GREAT BUT NOT AS GOOD AS SHE USE TO BE!!! SHE SINGS LOWER NOW!!!

  • amazing 

  • Wow!! She has mellowed and aged well and her voice is just as beautiful as ever! I wish her much happiness for all the wonderful years she has entertained us with her singing!

    Thank you Barbra!

  • Ugggghhhhh I have to sing this song as a solo for a musical theater camp, and the timing is sooooo frustrating!! I CANNOT get it!!! =(

  • Barbara her greatest song

  • not so smooth as we are used to but WOW!!!

  • Didn't like this rendition. Off key in parts.

  • Still the best. Thanks for everything you've given us Barbra!

  • she is incredible, just brilliant!

  • God blessed us with a piece of heaven when he put Barbra on this earth.

  • 2:58...she's been blessed with such vocal unbelieve-ability...she can hit high, hit low, hold, and belt deeper and richer than most I've ever heard...Jesus Christ did indeed...make Barbra Streisand...and I thank him, everyday that I recall...Please continue to bless us all...with her. : ) Amen.

  • Espetacular!

    Sem comentarios para o talento de Mrs Streisand e Il Divo!

    Obrigada para quem teve a brilhante idéia de compartilhar essa maravilha de vídeo!

  • Much prefer PJ Proby's version!

  • she is one of the few artists that even at her age can still sing,, i impressed, amazed. and cannot wait till her next tour so i can go see her live...

  • I've always said Babs is the best!

  • What's her brain made of? She can sing, act, direct, all brilliantly. When she's gone, we could preserve her brain and probe into it, just like Eistein's.

  • i don't know about you all but, any pop song + classical voice = too much experiment... not a good combination...

  • @ivandanu

    Well yes, without Il Divo's dodgy faux opera, this would have been better!

  • The Queen =)

  • HEY. She only like white mics, she must have been asked MIGHTY nicely because she will usually only use a white mic. Looks better on tv and from far away

  • Barbra don't play around...her voice is made of pure AWESOME, even today!

  • Barbara Striesand has it all. A magnificent voice and the mathching poise. i think she is my favorite singer and actress.

  • After all these years...still the best!

  • i wanna be her fan right now

  • MECHA STRIESAND

  • She did a great job singing this song the only thing is i didn't like the beginning of the song

  • show me one of these american idol girls that can sing or old a note like this 65 year old , better yet listin to her in her 20s and tell me if these girls would compare? we all age nothing stays the same but barbra will always be a legend while these girls will not even become a memory.

  • she could kick everyones ass! haha

  • goosbumps.... she's amazing - she's still got it! :)

    go barbra!

    xx

  • The Supremes sang it better in my opinion, sorry.

  • absolutly amazing

    i mean of course she's not as good as she was way back in the 70s but to still be able to sing like that when your her age is just incredeble

  • @emamzamankiri lol...if i could sing like that then i'll have my nose get bigger than hers...

  • @emamzamankiri Are you a crazy idiot? Streisand was around 65 years old when she did that video.

  • @ SisalRug, you must not be a singer because you fail to see what I'm talking about. Over-singing *CAN* and *WILL* wear on the voice. Any voice coach worth their salt will tell you this. The voice, like any musical instrument, must not be over-extended or used too strenuously. I clearly stated that Barba slowing down her music career in the 80's is why those pipes have stayed golden for so long. Not even Tony Bennett or Ella Fitzgerald did albums every year or made musical appearances every day.

  • Comment removed

  • wow im in awe..she's truly magnificent..she's still sings better than most of the artist out there, old or new..=)

  • Barbra still sounds good (not great) because releases albums and performs at a slower pace (unlike Whitney, who was singing to the max in her 20's and 30's). Barbra did the bulk of her singing in the 60's and 70's, then started to relax after the "Guilty" album in 1980. A lesson to all singers: don't jump at every chance to sing, because the voice will wear out if you use it all the time! Barbra is living proof of this, and that's why her career has lasted so long.

  • @JumpStreet1983 --

    you're wrong. Peggy Lee, Frank Sinatra, Ella fitzgerald, and all the band singers from that time ang day-in & day-out, on nightly gigs that went on all year, sometimes three shows a night. It's the drug use that kills the voice, not the over-singing. If anything, their voices are strengthened by the use, not worn out. Streisand doesn't drink , smoke, or do drugs, unlike poor Whitney and so many (practically all) of our contemporary singers.

  • The voice is not what it once was and has lost a lot of clarity, but it's still in great shape for Babs to be in her 60's. Whitney Houston is 20 years younger than Barbra, but her voice is shot. And that's sad, considering that both Barbra & Whitney were at the top of their game in the 80's and 90's. Whitney should have taken a lesson from Barbra: do not overuse the voice or oversing. It's an instrument, and it can break easily if you use it too much.

  • I can only put Whitney and Barbra in the same category. They both won Grammys,, Oscars, and Emmys. Whitney is still a legend, no one can put that down. Her achievements alone in sales and awards is staggering, The most awarded female artist worldwide, The female artist with most weeks spent at number 1 for all albums, the only female who won 22 American Music Awards, has the Bestselling Soundtrack of all time (The Bodyguard), and 7 consecutive number 1 singles to boot.

  • For my forever beloved Queen, the most beautiful lady on earth. The beautiful Svetka Konfkta. I love you.

  • im srry but the men sorta ruined it, at least one of them..... too much vibratto from one of the men. Barbra was wonderful and kept it up. She is simply amazing

  • Barbra Streisand, a divine voice.

  • I hope my wife can hear this song...

  • Wow! Awesome! :)

  • Her voice is still as clear as ever!! She is magnificent!!!

  • what bad note??? Flawless

  • First time I've ever heard Babs sing a wrong note. She still did fabulously though.

    Il Divo was kind of ... eh...

  • Is that IL Divo?. OMG I love Barbra.

  • This gives me goose bumps............simply amazing!!!

  • I can't stop watching this video! Amazing!

  • Breathtaking

  • Barbara. You are fantastic. I adore you and always have. I have your first album when I was 16 and still have it. There is no voice that compares to you.

  • Impressionante!!!!!!

  • i'm speechless she's not human she's ...I dont know PURE TALENT!

  • amazing at 64 she can stiil sing

    her voice isn't as good as it used to be but id like to hear pop stars of today sing like this at her age ill

    be suprised if they can carry a tune

  • are you sure? she's got the best voice I ever heard here!!!!

  • @belyy220770 ไอ้ควายโง่ละเสือกอยากแดกข้าวแท­นหญ้า

  • TO CHOXANAKIN i DONT KNOW YOUR LANGUAGE, DO YOU THINK YOU'RE KIND OR FUNNY? you WRONG!

  • @wdkaty She is before my time, but hasn't she been singing for like 40+ years or something? Of course her voice is going to change and stuff as she gets older.

  • yeah, but she retains being that of a diva :)

  • @wdkaty ...Her voice sounds unchanged to me. She still sounds very youthful.

  • @wdkaty I agree pop stars today shouldn't get the attention they get. Most of them use auto tune for crying out load!

  • @wdkaty You're right. Some of them can't carry a tune even now.

  • @wdkaty I agree, her voice is a tad drier, but still good

  • IT MADE ME CRY.... TOTALLY DIVINE!!!

  • yeah....I m crying like a baby!...lol...I don t know why....maybe because of the lyrics or of the interpretation or because of her! lol again!!!

  • she was 64 years old here!!! this is called the voice! when you can sing like this in that age!

  • wtf. lol.

  • no i meant wtf at the comment posted by ugha232a.

    not babs. that was stunning

  • she's still a better singer then u u capitalist pig. looks like god hit u with the ugly stick and then gave u a voice that makes u mediocre so u have to wallow in mediocrity for ur whole life. OH well. ur old. u'll be dead soon

  • W-O-W! x

  • amazing!

  • Streisand for ever and always...

  • Don't you all get that she is a singing talent not just a nose! Frankly if she thought her nose would improve her image or voice she would have had it done years ago. It's her signature look, so get used to it....Her longevity speaks volumes.

  • No ... you suck!

  • About the song,

    I would like to find that place. Just for a little while I would like to rest in the upper pasture, with no one to bother me, Maybe just a man who means well. I would like an afternoon, and a man's chest to rest against. Someday. Somewhere. We'll find a way of living.

    Lune

  • j adore tout simplement

  • i don't care what u all say; this lady is awsome & real sharp & tight. and all that is a very good thing. 11-15-09.

  • wow the perfrmnce blow me away..at that age..she sound like she is 20/s

  • Streisandstillsucks, you spelled Ability wrong. You shouldn't talk about some-one elses talent, you don't have one, the

    ability to spell. Give it up. Hank7

  • streisandsucks, not only do you not have the ablity, but you can't spell, so before you have something to say about someone else who has talent, you should think of yourself. You are empty.

    Hank7

  • "ablity". :)

  • When Babs walks along the beach, the gravitational attraction from her nose pulls in the tide.

  • If Streisand sucks why the hell you find time to view her video. You are simply an envious hater. Accept reality, you will never be anything near Barbra. You are not worthy to drive down the same road her limo drives her. Please don't get me upset, lady Barbra has touched my life in so many ways, so don't get me started.

  • I read where it is scientifically feasable to steer the Queen Mary with Barbra's nose by putting her face in the water.

  • Your life must really sucks! Poor you!!! BARBRA RULES!!!
