Not that she hates it, she can't identify with it and she explains very well why in her autobiography that was released recently. She didn't want to sing the song and it nearly didn't make it in the album 'Guilty' but the record company tried to convince her otherwise and they also pushed her to release it as the album lead single. The song eventually reached no 1 in over 23 countries and is her biggest selling single ever so is the album 'Guilty' that also went no1 in several countries.
She has said in the past that she hates singing this song! But is the most famous today becauce of it! My kids know her from this song only! And she sings it beautyfully
Nunca imaginé escuchar esta canción en vivo... esperar tanto años... es increible que a ella no le guste... simplemente la amo.... que belleza escucharla en vivo
Tal cual.. Siempre me pregunté por que no la cantaba en vivo.. Nunca encontré nada hasta ahora.. Investigando supe que ella dijo eso.. Que no siente la letra.. No Le gusta... Así que un regalo para sus fanáticos fue esto.. Porque creo que a todo el mundo Le gusta esta tema ❤️
@@thesea7965 no creas se artan por lo mismo,nirvana odiaba cantar smells like teen spirit que lo hizo famoso se negaba a cantarlo....A Barbra puede que no quiere cantar porque le recuerde algo,talvez no lo sé.
There are a few other recent live versions of this on you tube but this is by far the most "serious" attempt she appears to have made. Part of the magic of this song was the gibb production and the dreaminess of the original arrangement which I sadly lacking. I must say I think she is pretty near the original key. Bravo.
She still has it, and still bring goose bums to my skin love this woman all ways and all ways will have all her work and the canarains in my street are custom to her hearing barbara belted down the street
dimitris papadopoulos From Wikipedia: "Streisand has openly stated that she doesn't like "Woman In Love" because she doesn't believe in the meaning of the lyrics. She has rarely performed the song live; she did, however, sing it on a couple of dates on her 2013 European tour."
Streisand toured close to nothing over 55 years. Around 100 shows total. Still she sold millions. Could have sold three times as much had she toured globally throughout the decades.
It's very sad that he doesn't sing the climax of the song. She said before that he didn't like this song and paradoxically it is the most popular in his repertoire.
She was too woke for this masterpiece. She is ungrateful and I can't stand that. She betrayed the memory of the great Robin Gibb who along with Barry gifted that song to her, along with the whole album. This song is most successful song in her career...
I dnt know y Barbra didn’t take this song so seriously while sing it live, she was singing it without feeling or emotion but just performing it as a joke.
Perfect song for a slow romantic dance with a beautiful girl somewhere in summer evening...in Saint-Petersburg. One of the classic love songs, and Barbra sings it really great, no matter how old is she. But i need to find a little bit old-fashioned girl) Because my grandma danced to it in 1979 wih my grandpa)
@@Diapontios maybe somebody of us messed up in date. I remember 1979 from grandma, and thought: oh, it was like in ancient times:) I was born in 1998, so for me it is a LONG time ago, it could be 1989, for grandma it doesn't makes much difference, and both years are long before my birth date:)
Life is a moment in space When the dream is gone It's a lonelier place I kiss the morning goodbye But down inside you know We never know why The road is narrow and long When eyes meet eyes And the feeling is strong I turn away from the wall I stumble and fall But I give you it all I am a woman in love And I do anything To get you into my world And hold you within It's a right I defend Over and over again What do I do? With you eternally mine In love there is No measure of time We planned it all at the start That you and I Live in each other's hearts We may be oceans away You feel my love I hear what you say No truth is ever a lie I stumble and fall But I give you it all I am a woman in love And I do anything To get you into my world And hold you within It's a right I defend Over and over again What do I do? I am a woman in love And I'm talking to you You know, I know, how it feels? What a woman can do It's a right I defend over and over again I am a woman in love And I do anything To get you into my world And hold you within It's a right I defend Over and over again
Anyone that's a Streisand fan knows she absolutely hates this song. She also has publicly regretted it is in her billboard top 10 history. So it's no surprise she hated performing it. She made it through the whole thing here. Her Montreal performance she made it through one chorus and cut her band off.
I saw this tour in London and she cut it half way through like it was just a joke, though it was pretty obvious it was because she couldn't reach or sustain those notes anymore
Well I think it's pretty good to be fair considering Barbra is over 70 in this performance and the studio version apparently took many takes to get that final polished ULTIMATE! take that we all know and love so much today
Barbra never sang the song live because the song depicts women as weak and she doesn't like the song because she doesn't believe in the meaning of the lyrics.
This has never been a hard song to sing, especially for her. She just never cottoned to it. Same w PEOPLE (she preferred THE MUSIC THAT MAKES ME DANCE fr the original FUNNY GIRL). I think she has finally come to appreciate it more. Still, it WAS one of the lesser songs on GUILTY. Listen to THE LOVE INSIDE and LIFE STORY for the heart & soul of that fine album. As for her voice, no one in the world sounds the same at 71 as they did at 38. Even at 77 in 2019, she is no slouch.
Lo encontré por fin,quería escucharte a ti,no imitadores,de joven hubiera sido espectacular oirte con este temazo pero en vivo,no hay!!.si tan famosa se hizo la canción porque no se ven videos pero en directo,será que te trae algún recuerdo?no creo que no sienta la letra como dicen talvez la siente demasiado para cantarla o simplemente se arto del tema,da igual pero sigues teniendo tu voz hermosa y gracias por cantarla y darle el gusto a tus fans.♥️👏👏
LOve this song but Babs didn't do it justice. She didn't bring the emotion or try to be serious. Same as someone singing karaoke. BOOO!!! Those ticket are $500 plus.
Feel the same! So much more to the song in its original form, I remember seeing an interview where she said she disliked the song and hated singing it! One of my favorites of hers, shame to hear that.
