LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Barbra Streisand says she finds listening to her own songs is so boring that it was one of the reasons she gave up public performing three years ago.

World to Barbra, we are bored with both you and your music. Move to France.

Finally! I agree with Streisand about something!

Finally I have something in common with Babs.

YAWWWWWWWWWWN YUP She is correct!

[HIDEK6]

She has good taste. She performs her songs with that, "Hey, look at me!" attitude.

Tell her to get to the back of the line.

Maybe she could join the Dixie Chicks and they could be called "The Not Boring Used To Play Fiddle Chicks".

[Protagoras]

Add her to the list.

...and since then she's resorted to shrieking. Dear Babs, just SHUT UP and.....hum.

[Newbomb Turk]

Dang. And I searched before posting too! I hate it when that happens.

Self-loathing phenom. Usually she just limits it to her country.

[Wright is right!]

Most of Streisand's music is boring. Some of her tunes were good in their day, but none are real classics, and her style grates over time. Back in the days before she became so full of herself, she actually had a sense of humor and did some amusing takes on otherwise staid songs. No more, though.

She was right to cease performing. And she certainly doesn't need the cash.

BTW, you seem to be one of the few that remembers which movie was the first for such notable actors as Tony Danza, Michelle Pfieffer, Fran Drescher and Robert Wuhl. Note that NONE of their film bios list the movie. They're all THAT ashamed of it.

Maybe she'll team up with the Dixie Chicks to make some political music, in France.

Her last album was like margarine.

[Chi-townChief]

I do kind of like that "Second Hand Nose" number.

[bmwcyle]

It is tuff to be rich, spoiled, and out of touch with the world. /sarcasm

[Loyal Buckeye]

I believe this is the first step to a come-back by Babs. She needs more money to be used to support the wackos on the left.

[Cicero]

Maybe she should try Country Music, since the Dixie Chicks have abandoned the field. I can hear it now. . . .

Message to Barbara - you dont write the songs you only perform them - so they are not yours - She's the ultimate idiot. Man I wish we could have more conservative entertainers - When men were men and women were women.
