Streisand A Hit In Germany [Barb Alert!]

For the first time in her 47-year career, Barbra Streisand performed in Germany. Berliners loved her and she gave them love back.
The event was a long time coming for the 65-year-old performer, who reportedly never wanted to set foot in the country responsible for the Holocaust. But standing onstage at the Nazi-era, open-air Waldbuehne Theater, Streisand told some 18,000 fans she was "very happy to be here in Berlin, so happy to be here in your country. It's been many years."
Streisand proceeded to wow the crowd with a two-hour show of jazz, movie and show tunes including "People," "Somewhere," "Memories" and "The Way We Were" that had the audience practically swooning.
A day later, Streisand paid a private visit to the Jewish Museum in Berlin after it was closed for the night. She was accompanied by her husband, the actor James Brolin, and two friends.
For weeks Berlin had been plastered with brown-and-gold posters of this proudly Jewish diva, whose paternal family hails from Austria.
Though she had never performed in Germany, Streisand introduced her film "Yentl" on a German TV show in 1984. This was her first tour on the European continent. When the European tour was announced this spring, Germany at first was not on the list.

So, let me get this straight. Barbra is willing to forgive the real Hitler--- but she will never forgive "Bushitler".
What a moron.

It’s a shame the “little” people couldn’t attend her concert. The cheapest tickets were $200.00??? Give me a break. You couldn’t pay me that to attend her BS of a concert.

I'm =often amused at the getups these millionaire celebs wear - with money enough to buy anything made.
I dress better from my favorite thrift store.
