What they did was rude. I understand what she means by not knowing the lyrics. If a friend of mine told me to sing the song "If I light just one candle" randomly I wouldn't know the words even though I'd sung it live before, and sung it often. I just think if they wanted her to sing they should have planned it first instead of just laying it on her like that. Or they should have at least let her say no instead of forcing her to.

Omg, this was total bull!!! She shouldn't have sang if she didn't want to, how dare they make her do that right on the spot. Clearly theyre all immature morons who don't understand she's a real human being, not a toy to play with for their own amusement!

[Kelci Kyle]

I totally agree, that must have been greatly humilating for her, it definately would have been for me!

[eoin68]

although it wasn't fair that she sang, she still sounds amazing!

[Liviapoetisa]

Eu penso que o Michel Legrand deveria ter traduzido a ela a conversa que ocorria em francês, porque, ela ficou perdida e mostrou isso em sua face. Mas, como maravilhosa que é, deu conta do recado.

She seemed to encourage it instead of fight it. I don't think she was upset at all. Streisand always makes her displeasure very clear. There was none of that here.

When a performer is going to perform on a live television show it is ALWAYS prepared for and rehearsed beforehand; especially for someone of Barbra's caliber. Everything was being spoken in French and it was completely unfair to put her in a spot like that. I think she did fine and played it off well.

[John McMarlin]

She did what she had to do, but she should have been prepared to sing something...anything. It could not have been a complete surprise that she, the world's most famous female singer who is promoting her latest movie, a musical, would perhaps be asked to sing a song. Real life cannot be rehearsed. She was too rigid @ this time in her life. I hope she has learned to relax, enjoy the surprises in life and make some mistakes. They can be fun too.

Le son horrible à la fin.....Yentl un chef'd'oeuvre!

[Sycomore13]

Pourquoi n'a t'elle pas un interprète pour lui traduire ce qui est dis pour qu'elle réagisse, on la sent piégée mais c'est toujours la même chose quand un Anglophone vient en france.... Pourquoi viendraient-ils en france...!!!!

The impromptu, unrehearsed nature of this ambush makes it even more fascinating to watch. Barbras perturb reaction and the miraculous way she musters up those angelic tones are priceless!
