[@LJG-p9v]

There were FOUR "a Star Is Born" movies.

[@jamesbrinn9701]

To me Barbra Streisand is the best singer that eve lived

[@sharonlabrecque1655]

Barbra Streisand is simply the best 💝

[@sueparras6028]

Barbra Streisand and Karen Carpenter have two of the most beautiful voices in music. They are both unparalleled. I believe that Kris Kristofferson wrote "Me and Bobby Mcgee". He was a great song writer. ✌🇨🇦

[@dvsreed]

Written by Streisand and Paul Williams. People have mostly forgotten Paul Williams but he was an accomplished song writer, singer, musician and actor. He wrote the hit songs "one" by Three Dog Night, "We've Only Just Begun" and "Rainy Days and Mondays" for the Carpenters and "Rainbow Connection" for the Muppet Movie. Nominated for 5 Oscars and winning one. He has multiple Grammy Awards. A true legend

[@lipby]

He might be forgotten, but Paul Williams is now the president of ASCAP is now a very big mover and shaker in the industry

[@whostosay3256]

Paul Williams is brilliant! Yes

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

Paul Williams is an unbelievable songwriter. One of my favorite cult movies is Phantom of the Paradise, sort of a satire of Phantom of the Opera. Williams plays the bad guy and composed the score, which is fabulous.

[@markkmiecik9797]

You forgot Linda Ronstadt.

[@krystalmoore3842]

There was a studio version of this song as well, without him. This is part of the movie. Kris Kristofferson isn't really known for his voice, but for his stellar song writing.

[@lisacole850]

I would highly recommend that you watch this version of A Star is Born This is the go to for me as far that movie goes

[@BrettTwinSavage]

Barbra won her second Oscar for composing the music (Lyrics by Paul Williams) to "Evergreen". First woman in history of the academy to win for composing (What's up wit dat academy?) This was the third version of "A Star Is Born". The movie grossed $80M at the box office, making it the second-highest grossing movie of 1976.

[@madridmadrid6091]

Barbara's voice heavenly!!!

[@MoMoMyPup10]

You should ABSOLUTELY react to the finale of this same movie where she sings "With One More Look at You/Watch closely now" all in one take. Virtuoso performance of her career.

[@snarkyenigma9219]

Being a person of a certain age who experienced Streisand in her prime (in real time), it's nice seeing the new generations discovering such greatness for the first time, but at the same time, it's kind of tragic (if that makes any sense).

[@paulhuneryager4538]

Absolutely stunning!! I'm overjoyed you decided to react to this song. Barbara is in a class by herself. Cheers!!

[@acripe9875]

My absolute favorite version of "A Star is Born", the chemistry of these 2 in the movie was fire!!

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

You mean to tell me you have not heard this before? Where have you been! It is a classic, a standard.

[@krazyboikevin69]

Maggie dearest, Barbra's version of A Star Is Born is a lot better than the latest version. You need to watch it and you also will appreciate that all the performances were recorded live. I had the honor of sitting in the row in front of her and Jon Peters at the premiere at the Mann's theatre West Wood Village in Los Angeles and to attend the following party at Dillions Discotheque. You will love the movie.

[@ferocitas1958]

Kris Kristofferson, known for his songwriting, hit the big time when Janis Joplin recorded his song "Me and Bobby McGee" which was released in 1971. Joplin’s version of the song topped the charts and was only the second song to reach top-spot posthumously. I just remember it was the song we all sang on the bus coming home from junior high every day with the bus driver joining right in. 😀

[@rickwelch8464]

You should really watch this film. The real Star is Born for us older folks lol. Her voice is a chef's kiss every time.

[@1111nolanc]

Brings a tear to my eye every single time I hear it. She couldn't be more perfect.

[@RoamingAstro]

The video was an actual scene from the movie "As Star is Born." Barbara is playing the "New Star" and Kris is playing the "Old Star."

[@kevinmoll2312]

Not only was it filmed live, but the crew guy said in a documentary that it was done in ONE TAKE. Amazing.

[@gordonbryan2523]

Kris Kristofferson is an artist/song writer that deserves a must listen.

[@EconAdviser]

Famous songwriter, Rhode Scholar Kris.

[@samph3315]

I just found out that due to legal issues with his publisher he couldn’t use any of his songs! It can be a nasty business.

[@gordonbryan2523]

If you get the chance, give his work a listen in private. Too bad there's ones who try to silence an artist's work to the masses like it was intended.

[@plantlord3266]

classic duet-good voices, clear diction and the range and flavors Barbara does are awesome-Kris has a good voice as well...love your reactions...

[@glyjack]

Kris is an interesting guy, Rhodes Scholar so has a really good brain, supreme songwriter (Loving Her Was Easier) and a pretty good actor. At one time in a super group with Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.

[@kimrivera5302]

Gurrrrrlllll! You have found the Queen! Reward yourself and prepare to be amazed...... watch "Funny Girl" & then watch "A Star is Born", then you will be hooked! Just found your channel & I love it!

[@sonjarussell7332]

The movie "A Star Is Born" was originally released in 1937...then again in 1954...a third time in 1976 (with Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson)...and finally in 2018 (with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga). This is a scene from the 1976 version. The story always stayed the same, but the music changed with the times. This is Kris Kristofferson as the male lead. He is a star singer, songwriter, actor, poet, Rhodes Scholar and activist. You really should check out more of his work. He is a fascinating and talented man, and I've had a crush on him for decades!

[@GiftsAndGratitude]

I am a Black Muslim, but I will fight ANYONE over Barbara Streisand and Kris Kristofferson!! I have adored her since childhood. And he made scruffy and rugged look delicious. Babs has aged wonderfully and I would love to be able to catch her in concert. ❤❤❤

[@doberski6855]

Love this song and the performance. Still boggles my mind that Evergreen was written by Paul Williams and Barbra Streisand. I knew Williams was a singer and a songwriter, but I always remember him as Little Enos from the Smokey and the Bandit films.

[@TheToscanaMan]

Paul Williams also co-wrote "We've Only Just Begun" that the Carpenters sent off the charts. Talented guy.

[@enjaeostberg3071]

The 1976 version is the BEST, the ONLY A Star is Born!

[@TheDailyRipple]

Kris Kristofferson is an amazing singer songwriter. Major hits plus he's a Highwayman!!!

[@ABBARoxAus]

Yes, it's from A Star Is Born - and definitely live :)

[@ruffianwon]

This was the BEST Star is Born a must see

[@JeffBazell]

Backnote: Kris was supposed to join in throughout the song. His character, John Norman Howard, got her character (Esther Hoffman) a recording session. She was an up and coming singer/songwriter in the film. When it came time to film Esther's song, "Evergreen," Kris was drunk (as usual) and he even stumbled in this scene, even shaking the mic stand. He forgot his camera blocking location and he bent inward to kiss her hand. Barbra instinctively knew he was blocking her face due to the camera angle (which made a half-circle move around them while they were singing). She gently pushes his hand to get him to stand up and stop the awkward view of the back of his head. She knew it would look bad onscreen. Then, while he was singing with her, his voice cracked and he decided to stop singing with her. He is supposed to sing harmony and when the line 'one love' toward the end, he shakes his head, 'no,' telling Barbra, 'I'm not gonna ruin your song. Sing your song alone." Barbra keeps singing, turning this into a special moment of filmmaking. Yes, it was sung absolutely live, from beginning to end. It was Barbra's idea to sing all the songs live, especially when on close up so the audience couldn't see that she's a lousy lip syncer. Uncredited from Bradley Cooper's version is that he watched Barbra's version several times and Barbra even told him to film the songs live, which he did.

[@shawnstephens1251]

This is a scene from the movie where they are in character as a couple. He's a big rock star and she's just getting started.

[@bengazeley9730]

Kris also wrote 'Help Me Make It Through The Night'

[@tim8287]

Kris wrote "Me and Bobby McGee" performed by Janis Joplin.

[@dominic6283]

God, I remember my mother playing these records when I was a little kid.

[@cdfdesantis699]

Recognized as one of the greatest female voices in modern music. Kris Kristofferson is a hugely talented country music singer/songwriter in his own right. Thanks for your reaction.

[@LJG-p9v]

This scene is done so intimately.

[@oldmanghost219]

Barbra Streisand “Evergreen”. My favorite. I took my girl friend to see the movie and also The Way We Were. Barbra Streisand is one of the greats and there is more. Costar Kris Kristofferson had an affair with Janis Joplin during the year before she died and he wrote the 1# hit that Janis did but wasn't released until after her death . - Me and Bobby McGee

[@mikelarose2622]

Check out "You Don't Bring Me Flowers". A duet with the great Neil Diamond. Also live, also emotionally charged. You'll love it.

[@lewisbreland]

Yes this was a live performance! 😊

[@patiaday1]

Hi from Kansas. Love Barbra! Please do more!!! Thx. ❤

[@tulyar57]

It was sung live, Streisand hated lip-synching and insisted on performing it live.

[@percarlemil]

SHE IS AMAZING INCRIDIBLE WOOOOOOW LOVE FROM DENMARK

[@maggiereneemusic]

🤗

[@KawaTony1964]

Kris Kristofferson's biggest song, which he wrote, was "Me and Bobby McGee", and that song was made most famous by Janis Joplin's cover over it.

[@paulkelk5142]

I think the man she is singing with is Kris Kristofferson who also starred int he Film Convoy

[@martinkasper197]

And also in the Blade Trilogy (with Wesley Snipes) His daughter in Blade Trinity was played by Jessica Biel (wife of Justin Timberlake) Co-star Ryan Reynolds. Guest appearance by Triple H (WWE)...

[@pollynicklas5220]

You should react to Barbra and Neil Diamond performing You Don't Bring Me Flowers at the 1970 Grammy awards!

[@viennaactress]

She says in her book that Kris was really shy about singing this that's why she kept pulling him in and yes it was all very spontaneous, especially the end.

[@alfredgiuliani8253]

Check out Barbra singing, "Prisoner", the love theme from "The Eyes of Laura Mars", which starred Faye Dunaway and Tommy Lee Jones!

[@fayesouthall6604]

My namesake. My mother and father saw her in a movie and liked the name. 😊

[@brucefelger4015]

Classical Barbra is a wonderful collections of classical songs, one of which i once learned and sang for the congregation at my church.

[@jayarr961]

Kris Kristofferon was not known for his singing voice, He was never married to Barbara he just acted in the movie 'A Star is Born, with her. It was interesting to here you mention that this is an older version of the movie. At the time this movie was released it was the third remake of the movie. Lady Gaga is in the fourth one.

[@EconAdviser]

Clip from "A Star is Born" (remake) movie of the late 1970s, that's Rhode Scholar Kris Christofferson (a great songwriting ). Recorded in front of the film to avoid noise. Kris not allowed to sing much, just like in the movie Yentle (when Mandy Patinkin, a FAMOUS Broadway Tony-winning singer, Mandy didn't get to sing anything!).

[@terribanks8633]

Imo the BEST one!

[@Socialshug]

One of my favorite songs ever. ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@pennydyess2961]

Fun fact about Kris Kristopherson. He wrote Janis Joplin's hit, 'Me And Bobby Mcgee! The movie, 'A Star Is Born' starring Barbra and Kris is an amazing movie! Barbra sings most of the songs and oh my, if you ever want to hear the range of her voice, i highly recommend you watching it. It's not just her singing but both she and Kris were phenomenal with their acting and the chemistry between them was amazing! I hope you give it go and watch it. I promise you won't be disappointed!

[@trixiebella]

What a classic! These two are epical together!!! Love it. Great job Maggie!

[@pres96ton]

This is from the Movie A STAR IS BORN. Kris Kristopherson was a Rhodes Scholar and taught Literature at the US MILITARY ACADEMY...and he left and went to Nashville and was at a janitor at a studio and pitches his songs to the famous singers who came in.... he was a true intellectual as you will hear in his songs... and one of the truly great song writers for mostly country type songs....He was part of the HIGHWAYMEN quartet . Willie Nelson, waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard and Kris. Look up his SUNDAY MORNING COMING DOWN, LOVING YOU WAS EASIER, MAKE BELIEVE YOU LOVE ME ONE MORE TIM...look up his bio

[@Earth67Mars48]

The scene is supposed to be one of a live recording where they get affectionate with each other in the movie.

[@碓井利子]

クリスです！！！！！😊クリストファーソンです！！！！！❤❤❤❤❤❤変な顔しないで！！！！❤❤❤❤❤

[@mrreed2000]

This was from the movie. The gorgeous man is Kris Kristofferson whose character was played by Bradley Cooper in the latest “Star is Born”. If you listen to the studio without him and only her, you will see why she is a superstar!! Also try her duet with Celine Dion called “Tell Him”!!!! WOW 🤩 😮WOW

[@loisr3970]

This was part of the movie.... Gosh gotta rewatch.....

[@lyriasfaves]

Or for us real oldsters... the second version of this movie with Judy Garland and James Mason. The basic story is the same for all four versions of the story.

[@hildamarmolejo1568]

There has been three versions of The Star is born. The first was with Judy Garland.

[@mikeriddle383]

There's 4.

[@TimSimms1976]

Barbra revealed in her memoir that this was recorded live and that Kris kept laughing and messing up the take. So in this take you can see he laughs and tries to turn away but Streisand grabs his arm and makes him sing.

[@GiftsAndGratitude]

I really like your bubbly commentary. I think I’ll go subscribe now!!

[@lauriebutler4115]

This is a scene from A Star is Born! ……

[@garry8718]

Kris kristofferson wrote Me and Bobby McGee which was a hit for Janis Joplin who died and never heard it reach the radio, personally I like Kristoffersons version, you can hear his passion for song writing in his singing

[@reinderboterhoek3808]

This was Kris, one of the Highwaymen. Movie; A Star Is Born, 1977.

[@glyngasson8450]

Kris Kristofferson, most famous songs he wrote were Me and Bobby McGee and Help me make it through the night. They weren't married, it's from the film "A Star is Born". Kristofferson was a big supporter of Sinead O'Connor when she was having her issues in the US, he even wrote a song about Sinead

[@viperstinger77]

The clip is from the movie that's Chris Christopherson the actor in the movie

[@lewisbreland]

Barbra is my goddess!

[@lenovo-x7j]

Hi Maggie,IAN from England,just seen Ever Green,have you heard Lucy Thomas singing,she's GREAT,she also sings with he sister Martha,their mother sings with them on one song,if you don't think their rubbish,YOU can kick my arse,BUT I think you'll like her,❤❤❤

[@whostosay3256]

That movie was the first time I had ever heard of Barbra Streisand. I went to go see Black Sunday and when it started, it was very violent and my mom told me to leave the theater and go watch a star is born next door. I had no idea what it was about but I remember thinking wow this lady can really sing lol. I was 12

[@carlbeckman7606]

I know I am late to the party, but..... There are 5 (I know, right) versions of "A star is born". I remember there being 3 versions but I could remember who was in each version. When I looked at Wikipedia and found this. The Evolution of A Star is Born: The film was originally made in 1937, followed by remakes in 1954, 1976, and 2018. Each is set in very different time periods, but the essence of the story remains the same: (an alcoholic) boy meets girl, makes her a star, and teaches her the price of fame.

[@divinemadness7119]

Hello, Hi, Longtime Streisand fan over here 😁😎 The shooting of this movie was plagued with problems both production & between actors. Streisand & Keistofferson were not always on good terms. I think that’s what we all pick up watching this and what makes it interesting. Barbra wanted to film the singing live but, imho, the solo she recorded of this track is sublime and, won her an Oscar 😎🥰

[@divinemadness7119]

Btw, this was definitely recorded live for the movie! That’s why everything matches up. I have a vinyl of this movie that is live but slightly different to this recording. Barbra wanted to get away from the stylised studio singing of musicals from the 30s-60s so “insisted” on live recordings for this movie

[@enjaeostberg3071]

You need to watch the movie!

[@Joyce-Barker]

The very best…..You should listen to “Papa can you hear me”. from Yentl.. I would also,like to hear your thought’s on Elvis Presley singing “If I can dream “

[@susanraymo7301]

A Star is born has been remade 4 times. Judy Garland was in the 2nd remake with James Mason (1954). Barbra Streisand & Kris Kristofferson was in the (1976) version, & Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper was in the (2018) version. Streisand & Kristofferson characters were married only.

[@uptownjay]

She recorded live in the film

[@loisr3970]

A star is born 76

[@Mike-James]

Maggie you really need to watch the film.

[@Testibus00]

Her voice, it's like buttah......

[@kathrynstafford7099]

This from the movie A Star is Born.

[@bearmanz]

They were never married. He was married to singer, Rita Coolidge at the time.

[@KimbaLoveAdams]

She’s playing a character in this video. That’s why she’s being playful.

[@SalGomez]

Barbra fought the studio heads over prerecorded the music whereas Barbra wanted to sing everything live on set. She won. So all the mic bumps and bops were intentional. Barbra & Kris were never married but they were rumored to have had an affair during the making of the movie.

[@cspaikido]

That's Kris Kristofferson who wrote Me and Bobby McGee among many other songs.

[@billparrish4385]

The story follows a similar plot as all the 'A Star Is Born' adaptations. Actual singer/songwriter Kris Kristofferson plays rock star John Norman Howard, whose career has started to be in decline, and he has started showing up in public and on stage drunk. He meets, and 'discovers', Streisand's Esther Hoffman performing in a small venue, and their romance follows a predictable path, especially if you've seen the newest iteration from 2018 with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. In this performance of _Evergreen,_ the small imperfections highlight how they are in Howard's private studio, are very much in love, and are not necessarily making a 'golden' take. However, the song (co-written by Streisand and Paul Williams) went on to receive multiple Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy awards.

[@raider101416]

The story of the movie is he Kris Kristoferson is the star and he falls in love with Barbra and she outshines him. Look at the pain on his face as he figures it out.

[@donny1960]

This was a scene in the Movie.... "A Star is Born"....... He was the Rocker guy who discovered her..... They were married in the Movie. Not in real life.

[@obinwataje]

Before you jet off to Vienna, you might consider listening to the original "A Star Is Born" with Judy Garland singing "The Man Who Got Away."

[@lindakoschwitz7098]

That is the gorgeous Kris Kristofferson who yes, was her costar in A Star Is Born and he does sing.

[@mikenolan8044]

Thanks! Babs forever! A Star is Born has been made 5 times, 1937 Janet Gaynor, 1951 (TV) Kathleen Crowley, 1954 Judy Garland, 1976 Barbra Streisand, 2018 Lady Gaga

[@maggiereneemusic]

Thank you so much!! 🤗🙏💟🎶👀

[@lyriasfaves]

Didn't count the tv version...so 5.. not 4.

[@deepfriedscotsman2860]

you should try listening to a Scottish singer called Barbara Dickson and one of her songs called Caravan

[@carolboe4179]

You truly need to see the movie. Kriss is an amazing song writer. He was amazingly in the movie. So much better than ga ga.

[@percarlemil]

20 SEK 17,25 TO 17,45 WOW

[@Maydoggie]

Kris Kristofferson is a very accomplished songwriter.

[@patriciaplayford7421]

That’s Kris her co star , and fabulous singer as well . Do listen to him as well

[@crowleybo]

👍👍

[@RJ-oy7cq]

Maggie--it's a movie scene not a recording session.

[@KimbaLoveAdams]

They were never married. Their characters were married.

[@jodymontez693]

Chris Christopher's play with her in the movie.
