Barbra Streisand - The complete Jonathan Ross interview (October 1, 2009) 

Isn't Barbra Streisand devastatingly enchanting. Her presence is as breath-taking as her voice. I am still as in awe and mesmerised by her outstanding unique beauty now as I was as a child. I find that I hang on her every word in humble admiration whether Streisand is talking or singing. I find her exquisitely hypnotic

I worked for Barbra in the 80,s in Malibu and Beverly Hills as her gardener, I met her at the nursery I worked at and went on to work on her Malibu properties and her Beverly Hills home….she is an amazing woman, she new exactly want she wanted and was respectful and encouraging of my skills. I loved that she owned the whole back half of a canyon, each house had a different theme with everything colour coordinated. I especially loved that her favourite house was a tiny two storey place at the back of the property with old furniture from her Brooklyn days, huge star, humble living, and loved her gardens. ❤️❤️❤️

You know who said she is not attractive is ridiculously foolish… She is so beautiful, and just very classy. So talented. Who justifies beauty in any part of this world. Men have fallen in love with her all over the world.

Even just talking her voice is beautiful.

Just finished her autobiography. It was EXCELLENT! ❤️

I LOVE it when she is interviewed by someone smart and genuinely interested in her and her career. You can just see her pleasure and how she opens up more and more. Wonderful!!

First of all, Barbra looks like a youngster at her 68 years of life. Secondly, what a lucky audience!!

There can never be another Barbara she is by far the most talented of all time. She sings acts and produces. No one can top her voice ever in history. God bless Barbara

She has more talent in her little finger nail than majority of all female singers past and present have combined. True icon

Streisand is the consummate star, very professional and this is an excellent example of her stardom.

What a charming host, to draw Barbra out of her shell só gently… magnificent!!

She looks so incredible here.

When she sang with Judy Garland on television for the first time, she was 21. She’s just turned 80!

She looked fabulous and did a good interview. At 70 yrs of age here, she sounds stellar and better than most female singers in their 40s and 50s. Streisand not only has a voice that's lasted, she's highly adaptable and can literally sing ANYTHING.

She is utterly captivating

She is a challenging interviewee…Jonathan does well to keep the conversation going. She is very private and possibly an introvert.

Her voice is without a doubt a musical instrument par excellence. One of the best, if not the best, singer of all time. Her tone, her diction, her high notes, her low notes, her unbelievable sustaining of notes, are simply incredible.

“Why am I not gay? I love you and like to dress my dogs?” Love it. What a gem. Great interview.

In bed with my two girl dogs Betty and Quinn on Christmas Eve, 2023. I was sort of on a Barbra RU-vid binge and I had no intention of watching the whole hour of this interview. Yet here I am listening to her sing. Barbra and Jonathan had great chemistry. This was really a very interesting conversation. They were both hilarious and real. I love Barbra even more and am now a Jonathan Ross fan. 👏👏👏

She looks so natural here. She looks great.

He Is An English Gentleman; He Is Truly A Great Interviewer!!!!🦌🦌🦌🦌🦌

There will never ever be anyone as amazing as Barbra Streisand 😍I adore her.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen her in such a playful mood during an interview. You could tell she was actually enjoying her time with Mr. Ross.

I was there that night and it was wonderful to re-live it at 76 years old. I thought she was beautiful in the 60's and I was right.

Aaaaaaaw you can see when she starts to relax with him - he shows her so much respect! Cutest interview ever x

Unique, unequaled, unparalleled.

I grew up watching her movies. She was fantastic in the movie A Star Is Born- her singing is unbelievable.

Think it was a great interview she's very natural. Brilliant 💯👏💙♥️Love her.

My god she is so down to earth. Incredible

This is a fantastic interview. Still watching in 2022.

Can u imagine. Just imagine the level of Talent it takes to create what they did in screen. No words...

She IS such a gorgeous, Humble!, and Multi talented Artist ❤

She looks amazing!

I love Barbra Streisand. She is the most iconic, gifted and talented singer, actress, songwriter, concert and movie producer, concert and movie director, a filmmaker and an author. She is a legendary DIVA😍

Barbra is so exquisitely beautiful!!

What an amazing evening. Everyone there was exactly where they should be. Jonathan was perfect. Sweet Barbara was just so wonderful. And the audience. You could feel the comfort flowing throughout. And then her singing on top. Wow! So beautiful and the pianist and band played to perfection and complimented one of the greatest voices of all time. Thank you everyone! Wow!

She looks so pretty here.

What a special evening. She was gorgeous. I love hearing her sing in French. 💕

Happy 80th Birthday, Barbra (April 24, 2022).

What a great interview! She is so real and the host was really really natural! Thank you Jonathan Ross!

Absolutely remarkable. Who other than BS could perform live with such perfection? An absolute star in every way

What a delightful and witty interview -- I thoroughly enjoyed it. Barbra, nobody better.

OMG, it's Barbra Streisand!

I've been looking at the first half of this interview for several weeks now. But tonight I watched it all. I didn't know she sang!! Two lovely, delicate "cabaret" type songs--flawless, magical. I'm so moved I don't know what to say...except thank you, God, for letting me finally discover the songs! I enjoyed the entire interview, but--my Lord. :)

I think this is one of her best interviews the odd time she looked a little uncomfortable but who wouldn't unless you have a few gins ! She's a private person who has a beautiful singing voice she's a gem . And Johnathan Ross did a brilliant job as always.

By far the best interview Jonathan Ross has ever done.

Shes very present for this.

Gorgeous!

She is a genius.

Beautiful pure sound voice!

One of your best interviews Barbra. Michael

She has gone right up in my estimation, What a lovely lady.

She sent me a pitcher of her self!! said best regards!! I was 17 years old.. I'll NEVER! Forget it..👍😊

Jonathan, a superb interview with the most talented and brilliant person on earth 🌎

This was a pleasurably find. Ms. Streisand has been a favorite of mine for decades. She is so relax here which makes her sense of humor come through.

That voice. Buttah

An absolute Master Class. Best of the Best. Gobsmackingly good. At what? 2009 - Age 67? To just step up & deliver that 'cold'... Pitch perfect. Not a note out of place not a quaver. No unintended vibrato etc. Didn't think it was possible to Love Barbara more! Realise today was wrong! Barbara taught me to sing you know. Later it was Roberta Flack, Billie Holliday, Joni Mitchell -and so on... but the first was 'Babs'. I used to prance around the house - from about age 10 - singing each & every one of her songs, copying every note - every nuance - all the dynamics - tone - everything. When I auditioned for choir ( I sang Evergreen ) the choirmaster asked me Who had been my vocal coach and I answered; "Barbara Streisand!" and they smiled and put me straight into the Soprano section. Jonathon did a great interview didn't he. At first Barbara looked a bit rattled to be confronted by an Interviewer / Mad Fan! But when she realised he was simply & respectfully besotted ( rather than 'actively rabid'! } she relaxed & it really went rather well! 😉

A beautiful, classy, talented lady - they're getting rare these days. What a legend! I got the goosebumps in The Way We Were clip - I always related to Katie. One of my favourite films ever.

This was a great interview and I think Barbra couldn’t resist Jonathon’s charms. Well done both of you. The songs at the end were stinking made me feel like I was in a movie

This was your BEST INTERVIEW EVER!!!!!! I was so excited that you asked the best questions….she is my favorite too…..please get Barry Gibb on next……what about her son Jason????? I just love you

She's the best, no doubt about it. We've lost Sarah Vaughn, Carmen McRae and pretty much everyone who was in this category, but we've still got Barbra, and she's still singing for us. The two albums of the unreleased songs are fabulous. She seemed to be having fun here too which is great.

Happy 80th Anniversary Barbra Streisand 🎵 People, People who need people All the luckiest people in the world. And we love you.🎂🌷🌹❤️💕💞🎂🌷🌹🎶💕

Oh good Lord!!!! What a GIFT!!! So happy to have discovered this interview!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

That was an intimate time with Babs...and she still sings like an angel...what's not to love about this world treasure. I love you Babs...xoxo

They both kept on top of one another. He's a funny guy!

Yeah, this is clear, The interview is great ! GustavoDeSantaFe, now, you know (how far) I am a fan of Barbra Streisand!

Absolutely stunning. ❤

I think this is Barbra's best interviews.

Great to see her so relaxed and having fun. Jonathan is so funny. Those doggie outfits were hilarious.

Exquisite. Superb. Spellbinding.

I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW!!!!!!

Thank you for reminding this witty and intelligent show.

So nice of her to drop by on Jonathan Ross

She’s so shy, yet so charming 😍

Barbra has a rare beauty, with the gift of a voice of an angel! Also a terrific actress! Whether in a comedy or serious role, Barbra can act.

I grew up in the 1970s and 80s listening to her pristine, flawless, remarkably amazing voice. I take great comfort in the memories of hearing Barbra sing. Also from hearing my sister in law doing a fantastic job singing her songs - particularly ‘The Way We Were’ and ‘Evergreen’. In my opinion Barbra is the greatest female singer of all time, that I have ever known - and will probably ever know in my lifetime - I am in my mid 50s now. An all round talent; Director, Producer, and to quote the great Lady herself “An Actress whom sings!” … Barbra has been the greatest influence on probably all of the modern day female performers, from the past 50 years, including legends such as Whitney (RIP) and Madonna, she has delivered unadulterated therapy to countless millions the world over, through the medicine of song for 5 decades. A stunningly beautiful woman, whose voice is quite literally timeless ✨ Thanks for the Memories Babs

The greatest star. By far. I've loved her from her first album (I was there). And decades later, we still clamor for her draaama! And one of the most charming women of them all. Can't imagine my life without the joy she has given me. Thank you Gustavo for posting this.

She has the voice of an Angel❤❤ She was my favorite singer in the 70s and still is . I salute you Barbara

I saw her ‘live’ in London 1994-5. My heart almost jumped out of my chest!

I like the fact she knows her architectural designers!

Love her interview on Rosie O Donell

God! I Love Barbra! An incredible interview!! Love everything about it!Love everything about Barbra!

Funny Girl & The Way we were both were masterpieces but i also Love "Mirror have 2 faces"

Glad I stuck it through. She is very shy and nervous when she came out but warmed up very nicely during the program. This was, in my opinion, her best singing. Her Barbra-isms are gone and she really brings out the best in these wonderful songs. As singers age, as with all great artists, things get more refined like a Stradivarius. Thanks for a great post.

Barbara Streisand is a SUPER SRAR because she is UNIQUE!

Wow! So rare to experience a singer who can live sound as good if not better than their recordings. I fell in love with her extraordinary talent all over again, JR kudos for an exemplary interview. This is entertainment ✨

What a great treat for that day's audience. An unforgettable experience, for sure.

🌹💗 Their is something very , very special about a famous person that can make me CrY during an interview , for me only BARBRA can make that happen 💗🌹

A Star is born in Barbra

Great interview! She's a private person but I enjoyed this because I am a fan of Barbra. Beautiful voice! Loved her in What's Up Doc?"

Amazing person nothing but good words for this women I love her ❤️

As wonderful an opportunity as this was to see this live interview and performance, she has outdone herself once again and raised the bar on memoirs. My Name is Barbra, her audio version of 48 hours of her own recollection made me love and respect her even more, feeling like she’s talking with you, her friend. To have a friend as loyal as Barbra Streisand, they have blessed each other. As she reads in bed, I look forward to her bedtime stories, too. My mother in law would say books are your friends and thru hers, Barbra extends her thanks to us lifetime fans who revel in knowing her behind the scenes stories. This is her all time greatest recordings. Very intimate, detailed, informative, educational, inspirational and entertaining, her insights and teachings lead me to know at this time of release that this will soon become a cherished course.

Absolutely fabulous 🎉 her voice is beautiful as always and she looks amazing too

I have to agree... some of her interviews feel tense... but, this was great. and, she looked stunning.

The greatest of all time: classy, smart, and timeless. I have loved her singing since I was a child! No comparison!!!!!!!!!

Wow I saw Barbara in Concert when she came to Australia, it was a Dream Come True fore me. Just love her!❤️

What a voice ,no one comes close. 🎵 ❤️

Talented beyond words and beautiful as well. My favourite female vocalist.

Barbara Streisand=LIVING LEGEND!

This is a great interview. Barbara is captivating.
