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.

“ Because of the rise in antisemitism around the world today, I wanted to sing ‘Love Will Survive’ in the context of this series as a way of remembering the 6 million souls who were lost less than 80 years ago,” she said in a statement. “And also to say that even in the darkest of times, the power of love can triumph and endure.”
“Until I’m near you, somehow I’ll hear you,” Streisand sings. “Your voice will echo inside me forever.”
Who?
Excerpt from a review from THE TELEGRAPH:
“At 82, you can just about hear the advancing years etched into Streisand’s voice – no longer perhaps quite as perfectly smoothly flowing in the high range or as fulsomely rich in in the low – but the sense of passing time lends its own gravitas to the song’s message of memory and endurance. Honestly, it would be a world-class performance by any standards. For an octogenarian who hasn’t performed live since 2019, it is astonishing.”
Imagine a left wing website slobbering over a right wing figure who has spent her life fighting causes near and dear to the left.
Yet she supports biden, which bends over backwards to cower to the hamas wing of his party because he fears losing Michigan
Attention whore
Is Streisand honest enough to admit that there were no waves of antisemitism in the United States when Trump was president?
Probably not.
Do you mean like Anita Bryant? < /s>

I love her talent.
I hate her politics.
But she is one of the FEW leftists who realize Israel is a true friend and Americans need to stand with the Jewish state. Her sickening devotion to the Democrat party has blinded her to the demons within that organization that hate Jews. She likely thought they were “fringe” and would never take hold.
She may now be seeing she was wrong. Believe me, the Ilhans and Tlaibs and AOCs of her party would throw her to the sharks if they had a chance.
she’s responsible for the anti-semitism, so no sympathy for her from me
And she’ll still support jokin’ joe.
I thought Robert Smith of The Cure took care of her once and for all.
RE: Yet she supports biden, which bends over backwards to cower to the hamas wing of his party because he fears losing Michigan
Streisand is in cognitive dissonance here. Being Jewish herself, She knows that when it comes to supporting Israel, nobody is stronger and more steadfast and unwavering than Trump, yet, other issues seem to have more priority when it comes to voting — abortion rights, climate change, LGBT rights, etc.
This is the same cognitive dissonance with a lot of America’s liberal Jewish voters.
🤣
I saw her house on the Interwebs once.
God works through people their entire lives on this earth. Maybe she won’t vote for Biden this time. You never know. I have talked to quite a few people who were long time democrats and cannot believe what’s happening. They are NOT voting Biden this time. Letting Hamas run America has soured many in addition to the border and the economy.
My ears bleed every time.
MS. STREISAND

Elway.
Meh, she’s an idiot still. She and others of her culture stood by and laughed as white men were scapegoated and driven out of society for the last 25 years and replaced by foreigners, moslems, faggots, and fatties. And now when her people are affected..... now she cares?
Eff her and her song.
