Funny Girl (I'm a greatest star)

the clip from the film "Funny Girl" with Barbra Streisand

[@natttTM007]

There is something so powerful about Barbra's voice. Not only is it beautiful, but it's capable of expressing every emotion humanly possible. While I think this generation has many EXTREMELY talented singers, not one of them can touch Barbra. She's a legend for a reason.

[@MrDuboce]

I love how she delivers "hey, whatta ya blind?"

[@christineharmon6129]

Amen!!! No one can come close to her. She is a rare gem!!!

[@DragonSlayer-ii3ww]

She is the whole pkg, multiple talented. She's a Rainbow in brown shoes!

[@katelynjones5860]

who could not like this its Barbra Streisand for gods sake!!!!!!

[@Katfall2012]

Me, I don’t like it. I think she’s way overhyped and I can sing good as her and I suck like BAD. The acting was decent though, but I’ve been trying to get the hype and I literally just cant

[@franklesser5655]

This Barbra girl might have a future in music and theater.

[@MrDuboce]

When I saw this movie at a kid, I asked my cousin, "Who are the Barrymores?"

[@spacexmily2529]

Lea is absolutely amazing for the role, but in my heart Barbra is just perfect, and I think even Lea knows that.

[@MrDuboce]

She's confident, vulnerable and insecure ... but never doubts she's the greatest star. Prophetic. Amazing. Oscar.

[@stellajennings2265]

Wow still the greatest star bless you Barbara.👏👏👏❤❤❤

[@davidmayhew4818]

I saw this when it first came out. It was in the theater for many months. Then returned. It thrilled me to the core.

[@robertgentry1037]

the magical thing about all musical performances by Miss Streisand is that she not only sings them to perfection, but she acts the songs to perfection as well.

[@Ninafan68]

@Robert Lee, Countertenor Yes but a lot of hopefuls say the same thing ("You'll be sorry one day....") and, usually, their dreams don't materialize. A lot of people have confidence and, usually, the more confidence you have, the less talented you are (Tommy Wizeau, the delusional contestants on "American Idol", etc.). Barbra was the exception : her confidence happened to match her talent. But Barbra had one big flaw : she was undisciplined. Her singing was not the result of hard work : she never worked on her voice. She became known for her singing and as an actor, she thought she could be divine without work. As a result, I don't think she's a very good actress. You can feel when she acts that she is more concerned about how she looks, the camera angle, being cute, than playing with another actor and be real. She is always acting, big.

[@madeinhisimage9277]

Yesssss

[@haintedhouse2990]

agree. with "I'm the Greatest Star" you can see her frustration with not being famous as well as hear it in her voice - a powerhouse performance.

[@mikeashtube]

@@Ninafan68 I'm not sure I agree completely with your assessment of her acting. I do agree that in her later films she is far more concerned about camera angles and the way she looks on screen however if you look past that you will still see an amazing natural talent. Given the right material, her acting is nuanced and always hits the mark, The problem is more the roles that she accepted rather than the talent.

[@christineharmon6129]

Yes! !

[@latieplolo]

You can just tell that she puts everything into her roles. That line "With an American beauty NOSE!" Always gets me- there's some real emotions behind this song that I think Barbra really feels herself and we feel them as the audience through her. Amazing talent.

[@mannyj4751]

Barbra was the greatest... She deserved The Oscar for this movie! Comedy, Drama, and the Greatest Singing!

[@barbarafischbach8480]

Is the greatest star

I second that!

[@jj2288]

[@Piia2023]

She truly is, been a fan for over 40 years ❤

My life just flashed before my eyes. If there has ever been a more prophetic moment in Show business; I challenge you to show it to me.

[@susanvaughan-schiele210]

A brilliant emotive belter who can also sing quietly with finesse. Huge talent.

[@netapp5486]

the fact that this does not have an obsecly amoung of like and views is just sad! This woman here is just ICONIC!

[@slcutus]

Barbra IS The Greatest Star. And the most fun/funny.

[@caitlinlouise5738]

Barbra is just perfect 👌

[@residentevil4life]

what fitting lyrics for Barbra's own life after struggling to become recognized until Funny Girl launched her to superstardom.

[@haintedhouse2990]

exactly. her performance (on this song in particular) is such a knock-out - she had lived the ugly-duckling role and had to show all the doubters how wrong they were.

[@hrhboo]

Chris Colfer did an amazing performance with this song! :)

[@cinna_moonn]

Güliz Uğur Yesssss

[@gordonhall752]

Yup. She is, "the greatest star". Plain and simple.

[@jessicalyme6505]

I love Babs. She's so beautiful, even if the press ever thought otherwise.

[@lucettabutt839]

I just loved Barbra soooo much growing up in the 70's and 80's... I did this exact scene to get in a part for a play in the 7th grade.... I didn't get the " main " part.... But... Got the 2nd leading part in the play. I didn't get to finish the whole song.... But when I walked home after the audition.... I sang the rest of it!!! I didn't care if anyone thought I was crazy!!! At dinner.... I told my Mother and Step Father about. I knew I was going to get a part in the play. I was told by my Step Father.... No I wasn't.... I looked at him and laughed!! I knew I would. And I did!! ( kinda funny how the characters in the movie thought how she wouldn't " make it!!".. And she Did!!!.. Sort of like what I was going through at that time!!! ). I just love Barbra!! She was and Still is an inspiration in my life!! Thank you!! NEVER GIVE UP!!!!! ( That's what this scene is really about!! Wink! Wink!!)

[@rustymonkey2746]

Talent is Timeless 💜

[@marcackerman492]

I first saw this movie back in 1968. This is the first song I ever heard her sing. I loved it and became a huge fan by the end of the movie.

[@rma3_3_3]

Positively outstanding ♡♡♡

[@theumbrellawilliams753]

Watching this video made me love Miss Barbra even more

[@wetmosaic]

I for one am glad the songs from Funny Girl are on Glee - it introduces a whole new group of people to a really fantastic musical. But I don't get the whole "so-and-so did it better" argument. The people singing these songs were *inspired* by Barbara. They sing it the way she sang it, and they're practically trying to be Barbara Streisand while they sing it. How can anyone say her version isn't the best when it's absolutely the quintessential version?

[@madeinhisimage9277]

Wondering how Chris even got in the same category as Barbara!! No body no no body can top Barbaras performance of this.

[@edward311]

No one....and I mean no one can perform this song better than the lady herself.

[@jacquelineholts4801]

I love you Barbara!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ibuprofem9901]

[@ankekimmling9694]

She is still the best❤!

[@totalvicky]

My mother played this album until it wore out ... I could sing every song by the age of 5, LOL! And I still know every word: "Have you guessed yet, who's the best yet? If you ain't I'll tell you one last time! You best your last dim, in all of the world so far. I am the greatest, greatest star!" :-)

[@anne-josecurtet439]

The Best for ever!

This is why she got the Oscar. She played it with confidence, but with natural insecurity. Hard to walk that line and she did it perfectly.

I didn't realize she was interacting with people in this song unlike the stage musical. Now the lyrics make sense!

[@norabedard4194]

[@MrCrowebobby]

Loved her (like this) before she started singing as if every note of every song should be encased in a capsule and shot into outer space to be worshiped for all eternity.

[@peterdavino4408]

It's only because she's aware that recordings indeed ARE time capsules. They stand just as they are for as long as people are alive to listen.

[@MrCrowebobby]

@@peterdavino4408 Nah.

[@EltonColferLuver]

Everyone is fighting over Chris and Barbra. Now I have to say I am WAY WAY WAY obsessed with Chris. I LOVE his version. But Barbra is amazing too. I love them both. So can we please stop fighting? pretty please? For Chris and Barbra? :)

[@Anonymous-kn7ix]

@@christophepena2212 I agree completely. There are some excellent singers (Lea Michele included) but Barbra is in a class of her own. It is not just the voice, which is out of this world but she has a star quality that is unparalleled.

[@johnpickford4222]

@wengfong6742: But they are VERY LONG fingernails. And she is not the only one with talent to sing this. Mimi Hines, who replaced her on Broadway for the next year and a half, was superb in this and the other songs. Streisand is not the end all of everything.

i understand that this song wasn't written for Barbra... but it should have been :)

[@johnkling6657]

From what I understand, the "urban legend" is that Jule Styne was writing for Babs even though so many other female celebrities were connected to FUNNY GIRL.

[@joshdrayton1230]

@@johnkling6657 Yes, at one point the producers were supposed to be wooing Anne Bancroft for the role. But Styne and Merrill wanted Streisand so they deliberately wrote songs that only she could sing. Bancroft didn't stand a chance.

There's no comparison there, not with Kurt not with anyone. She's the greatest star!
