Streisand is like Alan Dershowitz….on our side for one thing, and a hater elsewhere. They can both pound sand.

She's 82 years old, and her voice isn't what it used to be. It's a little thinner, and the vibrato falters on occasion.
But oh, that voice. Barbra Streisand's voice is recognizable anywhere, whether it's underneath the ocean or on top of the highest mountain. And what she hasn't lost is the sweetness, the achingly beautiful longing in a voice that reaches down and touches the soul.
Whitney Houston had that kind of a voice. The notes would go through the chest and wrap around the heart, squeezing until tears would come to the eyes. But Houston flamed out and died far too soon.
Streisand's voice has haunted our airwaves since 1961, when she made her first appearance on TV. It was the "Jack Paar Show" (later "The Tonight Show"), and after singing a Broadway show tune by Harold Arlen, comedian Phyllis Diller remarked that the 19-year-old Streisand was "one of the great singing talents in the world."
Streisand's autobiography, "My Name is Barbra," a thousand-page self-indulgent but fascinating read, came out last November. It was panned, but most reviewers walked away from reading it astonished at the sheer level of detail. Given the book's subject, it was honest and a story of American culture over the last 50 years.
Streisand's latest project was to sing the end-title song to the new Peacock series “The Tattooist of Auschwitz.” The series is based on the real-life story of a Slovakian Jew deported to Auschwitz, the most infamous Nazi death camp. He was forced to tattoo identification numbers on incoming prisoners’ arms.

F babs
Not since Michael Jackson sang WE Are The World....
Oh, dear. Just reading that made my blood test for sugar jump 100 points.
...and the vibrato falters on occasion.

Not in this recording. Her vibrato is beautiful. The song itself is good but not great IMO.
You are not alone.
There's no denying her talent, but she's a political moron. I see her as willfully blind. rather than evil. I don't think she'll have a true epiphany, but I hope so.
“she’s responsible for the anti-semitism, so no sympathy for her from me”
She is OK with anti-white hatred as long as her particular brand of whitey is not included. Sorry, Babs, but Jews are white people, too.
Only a few years ago, we thought antisemitism was ancient history and could never raise its hideous head again, especially in America!
I’m no fan of hers, but I must say this opus is beautiful and appropriate, and I support everything she—or anyone—does to combat this evil!

Amen. Well said.
I give her credit for standing up to this evil unleashed wave.
While still donating to the very people that want the Jews dead.
Maybe this is her wake up call.
🤷♀️
Pray so, anyway.
It has become tiresome, yes.
They are your democrat peeps Babs.
To the current left, particularly pro-Muslim blacks, Jews are just privileged white oppressors.
“Welcome to the party, pal!”
She’s Deep State’s.

No kidding. It’s almost like the place is being infiltrated.
