    I believe that Barbra Streisand has such an AMAZING voice, although it may be going a bit downhill because she is aging, but she will always be my favorite! The best movie I've ever seen must be Funny Girl

    She said she would leave the country if George W. Bush was elected the first time, there are many still waiting for her to leave. I WOULD VOTE LOWER BUT FOR SOME REASON FOR CERTAIN PEOPLE YOU CAN'T VOTE LOWER THAN A 1 ON MY COMPUTER. hide show

    If she is that much of an extremist that she wants to abandon her country because the guy she voted for didn't win, then it's obvious she puts her political intrests ahead of her country's interest. Am I happy when the guy or party I vote for doesn't win, NO. Do I say I'm going to leave the country when that happens the answer is also NO. She also feels the need to fore her views on her fans, which is making them made, because 1. they don't believe the same thing, or 2. They paid for music not a political rally, and probably some of 3. which is a mixture of 1 & 2. It is getting sad that muscians and Hollywood feel like they have to force their opinions on how people vote, don't they think their opinions are strong enough on their own that people will vote for them? This is what happens when entertainers get some much power from everyone kissing their ass, and media bias from the news networks. These so-called stars they think they know everything and are entitlted to force their causes, political beliefs, and religion down people's throat. This is a free country believe what you want I don't care, but don't try to force opinions down my throat.

    Never to be replaced hide show

    Barbra Streisand is just one of those people whom everyone ought to have respect for, if not on her talent alone. There may be a lot of people in the world who would rather make fun of her or to berate her for her political views or bash her for reasons of their own, but I think that Barbra is an amazing artist and performer. It seems that a lot of people become outraged when celebrities use their status to promote their political opinions, but isn't that all that politicians do, seeking fame among the masses to draw their support? So Barbra already had the fame, from her outstanding career as a singer, an actress, a director, a star - and she chooses to vocalize her opinions on the state of the world today. I do not believe she should be less respected because of this. I am not Barbra's biggest fan, but I have great respect and admiration for her remarkable talents.

    barbra streisand is the greatest star hide show

    i love barbra streisand. i think she is probably one of the greatest singers/actresses that has ever existed. most of her movies were simply amazing. i recommend funny girl (1968), hello dolly! (1969), what's up doc? (1972), the way we were (1973), and a star is born (1976). barbra is the number 1 female recording artist in the world. she has over 60 albums and has been in 17 movies. the only movies of hers that werent that wonderful were: yentl, up the sandbox, and the mirror has two faces, but thats only in my opinion. she has sold more than 70 million copies of her work. She has more gold albums than any other entertainer in history. Barbra has 47 gold albums, 28 platinum albums, 13 multiplatinum albums, 8 gold singles, 5 platinum singles, and 5 gold videos.
