Let Ga Ga do it

Now that I might actually tune in to watch and listen.

[Covenantor]

Getting old? She’s 79.

[xp38]

That means she’s Brandons age.

[ConservativeInPA]

I guess my decades old streak of missing the Grammys will continue.

[Rummyfan]

i don’t know about after all these years? hopefully she is still okay to sing

I think she just did her tenth annual farewell tour last year.

[Bullish]

She makes every song she sings sound like a funeral dirge. Blech!

[frank ballenger]

Her makeup will weigh more than she does, for all the good it will do.

Funny.

But what are a few tire treads, crow's feet, bunny lines, forehead furrows, parentheses, cobblestone chin, turkey neck or marionette lines on an aging icon like Barbra? She never passes up a Dem fundraiser performance, too.

Yes she did. Two big ones: Somewhere from West Side Story, and Send in the Clowns from A Little Night Music.

Lots

Streisand performed eight of his songs including “Send in the Clowns” on her 1985 “The Broadway Album,” which won a Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

His songs also appear on her album “ENCORE: Movie Partners Sing Broadway,” which was nominated for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album in 2016.

Saw her on Broadway in Funny Girl probably about 1965. Fantastic...but neither she nor I were into politics back then.

[5th MEB]

I guess my streak of NEVER HAVING SEEN the Grammys will continue.

[BansheeBill]

Sondheim wrote the lyrics for West Side Story.
Leonard Bernstein wrote the music.
Almost every story I have seen since Sondheim’s death has gotten this wrong.

[LibertyWoman]

iirc she is classically trained

[AmericanMermaid]

She always overreacted, too. You never forget she’s acting.

[KosmicKitty]

She’s still alive?

[BatGuano]

Streisand?
I’ll tune out!

[Tennessee Nana]

In the theatre ???

[Rembrandt]

Babs - one more reason to watch a different channel.

[from occupied ga]

Babs ug mega barf

[dfwgator]

She ain’t Fiona Apple, and if she isn’t Fiona Apple, then I don’t give a rat’s ass.
