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.

[RJBJR]

"B.S. Plenty thinks the world is as enamored with her as she is."


Who is B.S. Plenty?

[Eala]

Welcome to the party. I was bored the first time I heard "Evergreen"

Don't know "Evergreen." Upon reflection, I'm not sure I can name *anything* she's recorded... "Memories/The way we were" maybe?

[Alouette]

It's hard to get bored with West Side Story, How to Succeed in Business, and Guys and Dolls.

Especially considering B.S. didn't perform in any of those.

Makes two of us.

BARBS IS THE GREATEST SINGER OF ALL TIME!!!

Anybody remember town whore Madelyn Kahn in "Blazing Saddles"?

Reading about Barbra being bored, I don't know...movie flashback....but can't you just see her schlepping around her palace singing, "I'm Tired".

"I've been with 1000's of men
again and again,
they sing the same toon,
the start with Byron and Shelly,
and jump on your belly,
and bust your ballon!
oye!
tired,
tired of playing the game,
ain't it a freakin shame,
I'm so...
let's face it,
everything below the waste is kapput!"

Finally something we can all agree on with her.

Greatest voice??? She was good in her day but she was never the best. The best white female vocalist of the 20th century was Cass Elliot. Now THERES a singer!!

Yeah, like she's the Beethoven of the 21st century, right?!

[Revolting cat!]

The best white female vocalist of the 20th century was Cass Elliot. Now THERES a singer!!

What!? What about Theresa Brewer?

[Revolting cat!]

What about Pat Benatar, huh?

[Revolting cat!]

And what about Little Peggy March?

[whereasandsoforth]

All are fine artist...but Cass could sing like a bird or sing like a whore. Vocally, no one could exist in her orbit. If you missed her RCA albums, you don't know Cass!

I liked Cass Elliot a lot. She was good but nowhere near Streisand who probably had one of the best voices, white or any race of the 20th Century.
She certainly was more popular than Cass ever was.

The absolute best and most versatile voice I would have to say is Celine Dion..again, of any race.

I'd sooner listen to the howling of a diseased coyote.

i jusssssssssssssssssssssssssst LOVE her voice and singing style!!!

but her politics REEEEEKS!!
i will forgive her just for her talent!!

it will bother me of any member of led zeppelin starts spewing predictable anti bush BS but that cannot stop the band from being the greatest band ever in the history of history!!!!

speaking of hollywood, what the hell was frasier(sp?) doing on hannity last night!! my god!! of all the news stories out there! frasier?? **sigh**

[WillowyDame]

the best white/black/eskimo female vocalist is BARBS!!
