FIRST TIME HEARING Barbra Streisand - Memory | REACTION

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Barbra Streisand "SOMEWHERE" (original video) 🙌

[@Rkbmomma]

My favorite of hers

[@scm0717]

A MUST LISTEN AND REACTION.

[@angelado3]

For sure !! That is what I was going to suggest too !!

[@mandarinlearner]

Absolutely

[@kareng4658]

Her voice is just stunning. After decades of hearing her, I still cry sometimes too at the beauty!

[@anthonyblakely399]

"Somewhere" by Barbara Streisand is the next song you need to react to!!! It is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Barbara Streisand has the most beautiful voice in music history!!! Her voice is legendary!!!!

[@davidmcconnaughay8191]

The Way We Were (studio version) is my favorite of all.

[@sueprator9314]

YOU BET

[@chrisn7259]

The combination of that supernatural voice and her ability to act the lyrics has never been matched.

[@pilesovinyl]

Her voice is one of the best female voices ever, just a gift from God.

[@aussiemal8701]

She has such a fantastic vocal range and control. "Hello Dolly" , "Stoney End", "Evergreen" are classics.

[@Siansonea]

OMG Evergreen is sublime. And Songbird.

[@janetlawson4482]

Evergreen is incredible! Barbara is incredible, I owned that album/cassette.

[@bryanCJC2105]

I think you would enjoy listening to the long version (11 min) of "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", a Disco hit duet with Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer. It was the first duet by two women to top the Hot 100 chart. It is considered one of Streisand's top 10 greatest hits. It's a great song with amazing vocals from Streisand and Summer.

[@scottarooni]

I totally agree with this comment. "No More Tears (Enough is Enough) is an epic duet between two powerhouse vocalists, and Streisand is particularly good on this one. The long version (11 min) is the one to hear!! Streisand also did a solo disco song called "The Main Event" which hit #3 on the pop charts. "The Main Event" is from her movie of the same name. Streisand's vocals on this track are also stellar, hitting the stratosphere more than once.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

@@scottarooni Her best is still "Prisoner" IMO, and everyone needs to hear that one

[@scottarooni]

@@MoMoMyPup10 Yes, "Prisoner" is another epic Streisand performance.

[@subwaygoddess1]

YES, No More Tears!!!!! I was on the dance floors when it came out, and we all went nuts every time it was played!

[@user-up2je6me7v]

I read Barbra's bio and she said that Donna passed out while trying to hold a note with Barbra at the end of the song

[@sueprator9314]

There is only one Barbara for those of us that grew up listening to her. In her years and career she was so unique, powerful and exquisite. THE WAY WE WERE is another Barbara classic too. You should see that movie w/her and Robert Redford. Awesome, great deep significant movie.

[@goosebump801]

🙌💯Yes!!!

[@jackishman7707]

If you haven't done it already, you should either do the duet with Donna Summer "Enough is Enough" or the duet with Barry Gibb "Guilty"

[@MaryMom51]

I love Barbara Streisand, I love this song! The best singer/actress on stage ever, ever, ever, is Betty Buckley. KZbin her on Johnny Carson --absolute live preformance!! Other clips with her in costume doing Memories and other performances. ❤

[@kellypickle]

Woman in love is a real banger

[@waynelawrence5220]

Check out the Dana Winner version of Woman in love. I think it is the better version.

[@judydubiel]

Enjoy your journey into Barbra’s music … i discovered her at 13 and now at 66 I still love her and she remains my number one favorite vocalist … i also love her acting and her as a human being … watch THE WAY WE WERE and listen to the title track !!!!

[@shonastewart7943]

Her duet with Donna Summer, Enough is Enough, is a must for you to listen to.

[@paul8926]

The 12” version is pretty cool !

[@FavoriteMovieDate]

Incomparable voice of Barbra Streisand. I hate her politics but can’t help but think she may be the greatest female popular singer of the modern age.

[@patricedecourcy4505]

I like your comment. She is right: Music transcends politics.

[@carriemichelle322]

The GOAT and EGOT Legend!!!!! Gotta react to Barbra And Celine Dion duet TELL HIM Barbra And Donna Summer duet Enough is Enough. Your mind will be blown and your face will melt. Lol 😊

[@amelias.2509]

I'm 70 and remember her on tv as a little girl, in Funny Girl in high school, and in my life I've never heard a voice greater than hers. I'll go out on a limb and say she may be one of the most talented people in human history. All hail Barbra!

[@leannmiller7153]

For another side of Barbara, you should react to some songs from her only #1 album Guilty. The album was produced by Barry Gibb. The songs were all written by the Barry, Robin, and I believe Maurice wrote on some. The Bee Gees sing backup on some songs. Barry had the biggest influence on the album and sings two duets with her. The duets are What Kind Of Fool and Guilty. KZbin has a live performance of them singing both songs at an outdoor concert at Barbra’s home. It’s wonderful! Also try Woman In Love, written by Barry.

[@Hubbell42]

She has had 11 number one albums - NOT one!!

[@mamaalaska]

I have been a fan of Barbara for more than 50 years. There is a very obscure album from 1983 called Yentl. It won the 53rd annual Oscar award for best song. That is one of the most underrated of hers that I could think of. the song is called “Papa can you hear me.” I have seen so many reactors react to her other beautiful songs. I have yet to ever hear any reactor react to that song. I hope you could be the first one.

[@Spiderific]

Great pick.

[@citywoof]

So glad to finally see the greatest vocalist of the 20th (and 21st) century on your channel! There is no one better than Barbra. Also watch some of her movies! A Star is Born, Yentl, Funny Girl, on a clear that you can see forever. ❤

[@pjjayhawk]

You need to see the Grammys video of the surprise duet with Streisand and Neil Diamond... You Don't Bring Me Flowers

[@ruthlafler5622]

Even Barbra can't make me sit through Neil Diamond.

[@Blank.Grandma]

​@@ruthlafler5622😂

[@dianel222]

Fun, pop song? Enough is Enough duet with Donna Summer. I prefer the old standards but anything Barbra sings is great. 💜💜💜

[@susanworkman529]

Barbra and Donna Summer duet..."No More Tears/Enough Is Enough" ( extended version) Barbra and Celine Dion duet.........."Tell Him" ( video) Barbra and Barry Gibb duet..........."Guilty". (video from her concert) Barbra and Joel Diamond duet....."You Don't Send Me Flowers Anymore" Barbra and Louis Armstrong........."Hello Dolly". ( video from the movie) Barbra and Judy Garland duet......"Happy Days/Get Happy". ( video from a the Judy Garland Show )

[@stephaniemccord-vega1190]

Thanks for reacting to Barbra Streisand, she is so amazing no one like her. Do a reaction to Evergreen and Woman in Love by her their really amazing.

[@luisalbertocalla6649]

Barbra is the Best! Wonderful artist. Incredible singer, actress and director of excellent films. She was always one step ahead of the others. Thanks for your great reaction!

[@1220joeyj]

Anything from “Yentl” ❤

[@tthom2459]

On your list of Barbra's upcoming reactions - be sure to include her duet with Judy Garland on Judy's TV show in 1962 when Barbra was barely 20yo. It's spectacular.

[@BrettTwinSavage]

Her work with Barry Gibb in 1980 resulted in the chartbuster "Guilty". Produced by Barry, all tracks minus one were written specifically for Barbra by various combinations of the Brothers Gibb. "Woman In Love", and two duets with Barry ("Guilty" and "What Kind Of Fool") all hit the top 10. Other outstanding tracks (though there isn't a bad one) include "Promises" and "Make It Like A Memory". I would suggest studio versions to caputure the full magic that resulted from the marriage of Barry's production and Barbra's vocals.

[@irinavalerieva]

Outstanding as a solo artist and also as a duet partner. She has recorded so many unforgettable duets over the years - with Celine Dion, Barry Gibb, Josh Groban, Bryan Adams to name just a few of my favorites.

[@francoveritas2]

I’m way older than I wish to admit however; I have seen the Barbra 11 times in the USA and once in Israel. There are no words to describe her immense talent! She is not an approachable person, but that’s ok; she is so tiny that I’m convinced she has a high vulnerability level. Nobody else can sing like her! Any attempt to compare anyone else with the Barbra is impossible to fathom!!!

[@justmare111]

I can't even count how many times I've heard her sing this song... and each time, I still tear up.

[@Geoskan]

I can't wait for you to react to Barbra Streisand and Céline Dion's duet, "Tell Him". Two powerful voices in unison - so magical.

[@sharonboggs]

The mere sound of her voice still gives me chills even after 50+ years of listening to her. There has never been a more beautiful voice and this song, in particular, showcases her vocal range and her control of her voice. Also, notice how long she holds that last note. AMAZING.

[@barryhickman6911]

I have loved Barbara's singing since the early 70s! A WONDERFUL voice!!!! THANK YOU FOR THIS!

[@vickiandrews4087]

Such an iconic sound. Yes, tears to my eyes, as well! Thanks!

[@alainemancini3366]

What a supreme gift Barbra's innate talent is to the World. Have just read her older original biography 'Her Name is Barbra' for the second time. What an astounding life...filled with heartbreaking struggles, stupendous triumphs and singularly driven tenacity of purpose.❤

[@jtt6650]

Her 60’s stuff is by far her best output, a veritable goldmine.

[@dianerolleri5121]

The original singer of this on Broadway was Betty Buckley. I love Barbra's cover but you MUST hear Betty's, it's phenomenal. Equally as great as Barbra's. Hello from sunny 🌞🌴

[@imadaddy2893]

Musical movie = Hello Dolly. Comedy movie = What’s Up Doc. Beautiful voice in both.

[@ErinsEnergy313]

Full, freaking goosebumps

[@kellypickle]

Omg I can’t believe you are actually doing it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@joel65913]

Her recording of Laura Nyro's song "Stoney End" is perhaps the most rock oriented hit she's had. It's very up and fast paced if you are looking for something somewhat different from her. I'd also recommend the video of her singing "He Touched Me" from the free concert she gave in Central Park back in 1967 which was filmed as one of her TV specials under the very 60's title "A Happening in Central Park. It's near the time of "Funny Girl" but a much different setting.

[@julianaFinn]

This still makes me emotional when I hear it..... Barbara singing Sir Webber.... shivers

[@ruthlafler5622]

A more obscure suggestion: Vocalise from the Classical Barbra album. She sings the instrumental melody on syllables. ETA: She does some amazing phrasing in Memory. There's a clip floating around of Barbra singing when she was just 13. Amazing.

[@lisamcnaughton7119]

Hi, I love Barbra Streisand, she is so powerful. Please check out her wonderful duet with Celine Dion "Tell Him", Celine's hero. It was filmed in Barbra's studio.

[@deborahdennehy9937]

Love her in the album 'Guilty' singing a few songs with Barry Gibb. Just fabulous. Adored that special song I just heard from Barbra.........💝💝💝

[@kathyrizzi8754]

I think Barbara Streisand had the best & most beautiful voice in the world! ♥️🌹

[@dsbauden]

Such a great reaction. Her voice is like buttah! :) Thanks for doing Funny Girl as well. It's my favorite film. Check out Enough is Enough which is a duet with Donna Summer, another powerhouse vocalist. They sound amazing together. It's a super fun song! Happy Friday!

[@stevemattfis]

This is from the play Cats. Barbra never did the play but on stage a woman who was so incredible brought it to life and shows it in context. If you want to then react to Betty Buckley . The part where the song explodes Betty is rising from the floor and she has such control and power that even in the situation where she is trying to stand up that power belt comes out of her like it was trying to fly out into space.

[@paulinewatts4603]

Thankyou for listening right through to pay her wonderful voice the respect and praise it deserves.

[@victoriagrove5344]

Unsurpassed Barbra!❤

[@serendipity191]

Always gives me chills

[@browniewin4121]

All that needs be said is WOW!

[@karengarrow5579]

Barbara Stressed has a career that spans six decades she is a golden globe Grammy and Oscar award winner very few singers can have those bragging rights

[@suzanneprock7286]

Love Barbara Streisand, noone has a voice like her, she's always been one of my favorites of the 70's. "Evergreen" is another great song, everything she sings is good. Check out "A Star is Born" lots of great songs she sings in that movie.

[@tahoebabe8939]

I've loved her as far back as I can remember. If you ever get a chance please watch her in A Star Is Born, with Kris Kristopherson the music is mesmerizing,but so is the movie!

[@gardengate4253]

Another beautiful version of Memory is done by Elaine Page, who played the cat in the play. You'll need tissues

[@jeremyshelman9716]

yes, for me, Elaine's version is the one.

[@user-ue2dz6bh8j]

I watched CATS twice.... Sobbed like a baby.

[@moog67]

Look up her performance of "My Man" from her tv special in the 60s. Prime Barbra!

[@325diane]

In the Broadway show this song was sung by the old cat Grizelda, looking back on her "days in the sun." I'm a cat-lover and this song never fails to break my heart. When she sings the line "If you touch me you'll understand what happiness is" I'm sobbing every time. Truly the most beautiful voice I've ever listened to.

[@user-ue2dz6bh8j]

You will get the words if you watched CATS. It's the old cat singing about her life. I cried both times I watched CATS live.

[@alicesunderland8577]

Barbra Streisand is a is a musical instrument!!!

[@donnamentrasti2695]

This is just a small sampling of the one-of-a-kind vocals from Barbra Streisand. She was barely 20 when she became a phenom at the age of 19 in 1962, on Broadway in "I Can Get It For You Wholesale," where she would meet her first husband, Elliot Gould. Her stardom never stopped growing, and she became one of the best selling recording artists of all time with the most #1 albums, which was just recently eclipsed by Taylor Swift. She still is however, the only artist to ever chart sn album at #1 in SIX consecutive decades. Her voice is simply beyond sublime, and she's never had vocal training... it's so organic and instinctual. She treats a song like it was a three-part play, which is why it touches the senses of a listener. Looking forward to you reacting to more Barbra. Several posters gave you an excellent suggestion... Barbra's duet with Donna Summer on "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" [long version] is a must. Barbra's versatilities have no boundaries, having sung just about every genre out there, including, as this song will show, Disco.

[@vickiochoa2508]

Link below is Barbra and Barry Gibbs live….’Guilty’ and ‘Who’s sorry now’.

[@bsrohrig]

You need to see her in What’s up Doc.. and then Yentl

[@finngirl1313]

Fun? - - > Judy Garland Show, 1963. Their rendering of Happy Days Are Here Again/Get Happy is a joy. Two legends!

[@tjrivers]

IMHO, this is one of the greatest vocal recordings ever.

[@marcus3261]

Elaine Paige, is the original singer of this song and is the best.check her out, from the musical Cats. Love Barbara Streisand all my life her music, her acting etc, but for the song Memory it has to be elaine singing this in the musical called ( Cats) i think it is very powerful and emotive.👍❤️🙋🇮🇪😁

[@Eowyn187]

Exquisite. Thy name is Barbra.

[@thekurt5781]

You're an amazing reactor, I love watching your appreciation for music and your deep understanding of it. I grew up on Barbra and it's a sweet memory of childhood and almost tearful longing to return to childhood while my parents played her records in our house. She's one of those voices that throws me back to better times instantly. Incredible voice and talent.

[@LaLayla99]

So glad you're a new Barbra fan! My mom is a huge fan, so I grew up listening to her.

[@scm0717]

This song is from the play "Cats". The Way We Were and others suggested. One of the greatest voices of all time. Thank you for starting my day off great!!

[@kellypickle]

Yes she keeps a leash on the beast

[@helenespaulding7562]

Well said. And so true

[@rbianca1]

The GOAT!

[@rootbox]

Jane Oliver has similar vocal abilities. Her live album showcases why in her heyday she was often compared to Babs. Streisand has a purity and accuracy that has earned her accolades especially from vocalists. Lesser known Oliver is all of that but with more character in her voice. She covers a tune called "Seasons" on her live album - written by Grace Slick - and kills it.

[@MikeInMD1961]

Goosebumps. That's all I have to say . . . Goosebumps.

[@nevermindmyage]

Thank you for your beautiful reaction. I mean your face is precious.😊❤

[@kimcutts6153]

🇬🇧 Barbara Streisand & Donna Summer "Enough is Enough" 👌❤️🎼🎶 I think you will like it, a lot.

[@richtensail]

vocal masteriece, well writen, touching.......

[@brettmiller7138]

Stunning! I remember when this was released. Hearing it today moves me more than ever. Time has a way of adding a different perspective. Love it.

[@JustMe-vk4fn]

"I remember the time I knew what happiness was...." Me too.

[@johnborg2635]

Amazing song by an Amazing woman in showbusiness. Barbra voice so controlled and pitched perfectly.. More of Babs thanks for your reaction here. Color me Barbra Album/series has some nice tamed songs that are uplifting..

[@germankitty]

Barbra Streisand and Broadway melodies = a marriage made in Heaven!

[@jerryb1439]

You have to listen to "The Way We Were." I think that showcases her voice at its best.

[@randytaylor1406]

An absolute masterpiece! Epic! These performances last hours, days, years, after you hear them. I like her duet with Neil Diamond in "You Don't Bring Me Flowers." Not the Grammy vesion which has a bad audio, but the studio version.

[@Tom-pw2ni]

Babs is always the best, this album is what got me into Opera, her singing I Love You Porgy changed me, searched out Porgy and Bess and found the Gershwin Opera Porgy and Bess and wow, just so amazing

[@johnthierwechter1875]

“Make it Like a Memory” off the Guilty album. Produced by Barry Gibb. Pure chills

[@mariomenezes5974]

She is an angel-bird pure Broadway!

[@monaboutet6863]

She's sublime ❤❤

[@angelado3]

Chills right from the beginning as always and I have heard this tons of times

[@karehelene]

Check out her duet with Neil Diamond - You Don't Bring Me Flowers

[@08davey]

She's like an orchestra. Sometimes she sounds like a trumpet, sometimes an oboe, then a violin or cello. Listen to Somewhere from West Side Story official video.

[@GoWestYoungMan]

She was widely viewed as one of the biggest names of the 20th century. There was Judy Garland, Celine Dion, and Barbra Streisand. They were the gold standard.

[@TheRatsCast]

I saw the original Cats play on video years ago, and the original song was amazing. You really need to hear it. Even better, the duet she did with Donna Summers is perfect for you, Enough is Enough As for Barbara, Barry Gibb wrote and sung her album 'Guilty', which you need to listen to. Hello Dolly from the movie is also a great start. Even better, the song she did with Donna Summers would be perfect for you, Enough is Enough.

[@scotmax8426]

yes, you really have to watch, "somewhere", so many duets that are all fantastic, neil diamond, the gibb brothers, donna summer, celine, etc... so many songs for you to see of hers now :D looking forward to it. (somewhere is one of my favourite songs of all time). (the broadway album is something else)

[@Tom-pw2ni]

just getting to the end of your video, if you want a pop song, Enough is Enough disco duet with Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer the long version is the best but the short one is ok

[@ILOVEDANNYELFMAN]

I love Barbra ❤️...

[@beckiramsey9561]

So beautiful!!❤❤❤

[@Muckylittleme]

I forgot how hauntingly beautiful her voice was.

[@jeffreyedwards1811]

Her collaboration with Barry Gibb on Guilty is fun and big pop hit as well as What Kind Of Fool from the same album. But my fave is duet with Bryan Adams on I Finally Found Someone. Their voices are perfection!

[@dawnmartin4625]

I love Karen Carpenter and Helen Reddy but Babs is just one notch above them! She’s phenomenal and her acting is superb. You should watch Hello Dolly, it is such a cute and fun movie!
