OH MY GOSH!| FIRST TIME HEARING Barbra Streisand - Somewhere REACTION 

Not one other woman on this planet can sing like Barbra Streisand

When Barbra sings. You don't hear her sing. You feel her sing.

No woman exceeds Barbra. She is THE ORIGINAL GOAT. You can see why she was Celine Dion’s idol and many other great singers also.

BARABARA STREISAND IS, WAS, AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE WORLD'S GREATEST FEMALE SINGER !!!

Jay & Amber, you'll Love Barbra's "People" and "The Way We Were" !!!! She is one of the greatest singers of the 20th century!!!

Barbara Streisand is an EGOT. She's one of the few entertainers who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony Award, and her voice is undescribably stunning

2 Academy awards, 5 Emmys ,9 Golden Globes , 8 Grammys from 48 nominations , 1 Tony award the most versatile artist of all time

For me, it's Streisand and Karen Carpenter, two very different vocalists, apples and oranges, but both are THEE experts on how they sang their songs and their storytelling ability...Karen Carpenter, always said that Streisand was the best and Streisand told karen that she had a "marvelous instrument"....

Somewhere (West Side Story) was from the Broadway album. It won Barbra a record 5th Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Female and a standing ovation from her peers.

She was Billboard Magazine's Female voice of the century!! Absolutely one of, if not the best singers ever!!

She is unmatched. THE best. Celine, Whitney, Mariah, Ariana…ALL learned how to sing from Streisand, and they ALL consider her their idol.

Barbra is hands down the greatest female singer of all time!!

Barbra Streisand has the honor of having the greatest & most amazing female voice EVER! It’s 100% Barbra, all natural & all her own, no formal voice training ever! She’s a true once in a lifetime treasure!!!

You've just heard a master musician with her instrument. Babs isn't just a singer, that voice is an instrument, and she plays it like the virtuoso she is.

"Evergreen": Barbra not only sings it, she won an Oscar for writing it. Her co-author/composer was Paul Williams. He also wrote songs by The Carpenters, The Temptations, and The Muppets! Like Barbra, Paul is also an actor and singer. Barbra started her career on Broadway -- and it shows. A savvy business as well as artistic/creative performer, she made deals where she accepted less money in exchange for retaining control of her work. A practice that has profited her.

Barbra’s voice is like fine crystal. Strong yet delicate and very clear.

I know Celine has a great voice but... Barbara is and will always be the original as far as phenomenal voices!! She was way before Celine .A great movie is " The mirror has two faces"

There’s something about Barbra’s voice that puts me in a trance, too. I love this song, and Evergreen, especially.

Just in case you didn't know, Barbra Streisand is regarded as one of the greatest singers in American history. When she started out performing onstage around 1960, and then in movies, she created a fan base that was huge and still is. My Aunt who lives in Chicago bought tickets to see her in New York. She took a flight out there just to hear Barbra Streisand sing. She's that popular!

Barbra Streisand is Celine Dion’s idol. Seriously. When she had the opportunity to sing with her, she cried.

🇬🇧 No-one, but no-one sings like Barbara. The power she can project is immense. Have loved her since my teens (im 60 next week). 🎼💕

Hey you guys need to do Barbra Streisand’s video from the 1968 movie Funny Girl where she sings the song Don’t Rain on My Parade. It is probably her most famous song and she won the Oscar for that movie for best actress that year. The video is available on RU-vid and it is a true tour de force. Many singers have since tried to cover that song but nobody has ever done it like Barbra. I highly recommend it and I’m sure any true Barbra fan will tell you the exact same thing. You guys will not regret watching that video. Her voice is so powerful and she just lives that role! Great job, love you 2

I don't mean to insult you by calling the two of you kids, but I am a "Nana" and my son, my baby, is older than you both. It is endearing. It has been so special watching the two of you react to the powerful eras of music and movies that my generation was so impacted by. This pure, organic musicianship and vocal talent that opened the doors for so many others to express themselves. We felt as free as our parents did. Those free hippies and equal rights seekers who were in their teens and twenties during the "Woodstock" and "Freedom Ride" era of expression. They paved the road to a whole new experience, and took the first steps out of the restrictive racial, gender, and socially oppressive 1950 s. Their experimentation was the segue to a new " Thought Revolution". A new "Voice" against the suffocating bindings of a post WW2 society bent on keeping people in their place and in their roles. Thanks for jumping on our train and experiencing the ride. It's been a great trip down memory lane. Flower child and Canadian Grandma Lori. C.

Anything by Barbra Streisand is great. Go back to the 1960s.

Barbra IS the SUPREME VOICE. That's it.

For me without a doubt the best female voice

"Yentl" (1983) was the first film in Hollywood history that was written directed, produced, and starred in by the same talented woman-- BARBARA STREISAND. A period piece film, Eastern Europe 1904, story of a young Jewish woman not conforming to her religion's restrictions-- she wants to read and book learn. Nominated for a number of awards, Streisand won a Golden Globe for directing. Good for your movie channel.

Greatest Female Singer of her Generation. Peerless.

If its movie night, " The Way We Were." Streisand and Redford and a great song. Memories.

This was on her 1985 album "The Broadway Album". "Somewhere" was from "West Side Story".

Barbra Streisand is a National Treasure!

Greatest voice of the past 60 years; hands down. No one has the silky smooth range like Barbra.

i agree, no female singer in today's music industry can compare to Barbra!

Speaking of Celine Dion, she and Barbra Streisand had a nice one called "Tell Him".

A fun Barbra Streisand movie is “What’s Up Doc”. Really show her comedic talent.

"Somewhere" is my favorite Barbra Streisand song. I'm so glad you reacted to it. This is one of many songs she recorded that really showcases her incredible voice. This song was originally in the classic Broadway Musical West Side Story. When Barbra Streisand does a cover version of any song, she owns it. No other version can compare.

I love her. She did a musical called. Funny Girl. She was young. At the end she sings. My Man. Omg. I can’t find the words

She is one of few who has perfect pitch. Her voice is phenomenal.

There are singers, and then there is BARBRA. Truly in a class of her very own.

If you want to put Streisand up there with Celine Dion, then you’ll enjoy their duet “Tell Him”

Simply one of the greatest female voices of the 20th century. Check out "The Way We Were" by Miss Streisand next.

Need to watch the Barbara Streisand and Judy Garland duet (Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz) singing "Happy Days are Here Again " from 1963. It was early in her career when she was 21. Barbara's voice was so powerful, the normally calm and amazing Judy Garland seemed frightened at times (She recognized the great talent in front of her and was her greatest advocate)

No one can match Barbra’s voice. You guys should do a movie reaction to “Funny Girl.”

i grew up hearing most people saying that she was the best female singer

You might consider “Funny Girl” for your movie channel. It broke Barbara out as a huge star at a young age!!

Those two, Jay and Amber, were totally mesmerized, especially Jay. I love reactions like this.

Barbra Streisand - "You'll Never Walk Alone" at the 2001 Emmy Awards will have you in tears.

Now you know Barbra Streisand The only singer that can give me goosebumps

One of the greatest voices of all time. If this is debated I would have to suspect the person debating it was simply stupid.

Damn ! Barbara just brought tears to this salty old rock drummers eyes. She is and was just spectacular

This is also one of the best Broadway show tunes of all time. She sang it perfectly.

My absolute favourite Barbra Streisand song. Flawless.

I chuckled when they were thinking the Barbra they heard with Barry was the "Barbra!" "She's right in there with Celine, lol. Ms Streisand is simply the GOAT. She's the one your favorite female singers look up to. Hit that rabbit hole. ❤❤

You should watch “Funny Girl”. Every song is memorable. Truly one of a kind singer and actress.

The song - People who need people - is another great Streisand song

You two have only started to scratch the surface of the body of her work! Love you 2! Keep going!!!! Barbra paved the way for Celine.

Evergreen is a beautiful song by Barbara what a amazing voice.

Her Broadway album is her very best!

Barbra is a singer, actor, director, producer. She’s an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar & Tony)!

Barbra Streisand . . . try "Piece of Sky" - "He Touched Me" and "Don't Rain on My Parade" "Papa Can You Hear Me?" "The Way We Were" and "People".

This song is from the movie, West Side Story 1961 ~ which I highly recommend if you haven't already seen it! This song is so beautiful ~ she does the best version of this, ever! The music was written by the iconic composer Leonard Bernstein and the lyrics are by Stephen Sondheim. West Side Story is a musical conceived by Jerome Robbins, and a book by Arthur Laurents. (1957 Washington, D.C.)

Check out Judy Garland/Barbra Streisand Get Happy/Happy Days Are Here Again. THE BEST!

Oh…..for heavens sake, watch the video of Streisand singing “My Man, from the close of the musical Funny Girl. A tour de force performance, full of the deepest emotion. Acting and singing in equal measure. Breathtaking.

I'm glad you finally listened to Barbra Streisand sing in her heyday, at the top of her game, and NOT in a duet. Please remember, celebs get together for duets AFTER they've floored people with their talent; there's no guarantee at all the duet is going to showcase their best. In fact, it's almost A guarantee that it won't, because you have to compromise on pitch, and one shouldn't outshine the other. Duets feature beautiful harmony, not beautiful solo voices.

Barbra is pure perfection. How is it possible to have a favorite . . . except . . . mine just has to be “The Way We Were.” Mostly because of that beautiful movie. She moves me to tears every time I hear that song.

You guys should see " Funny Girl " her first ever movie and that put her on the map x

This song is just the tiniest little smidgin of Barbra Streisand’s portfolio of music. Look her up folks. Most of her biggest hits happened a long time ago. She was a gigantic star on Broadway by the time she was 22 years old in 1964 and had already started winning Grammies and Emmys. You should watch the movie Funny Girl. It started her career as a Broadway play in 64 and then was a movie in 1967 I believe and was a big hit and she got the Oscar for that. She’s been making records and movies ever since. She is a true GOAT. She runs circles around Celine and all the others. They bow to her.

"Somewhere" was written by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim for the musical West Side Story, a retelling of the Romeo and Juliet story set in New York in the 1950s. Romeo was Tony, a white kid, and Juliet was Maria, a Puerto Rican beauty. The "Montague" faction was the American gang, The Jets, and the "Capulets" were the Puerto Rican gang, The Sharks. "Somewhere" is about trying to find a place of peace in a crazy world, a place of love...specifically for the star-crossed lovers, Tony and Maria. The show was known for its amazing choreography by choreographer and director Jerome Robbins, who also co-directed the first film version with Robert Wise in 1961. The first film starred Natalie Wood as Maria, Richard Beymer as Tony, Rita Moreno (who won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress as Anita), George Chakiris (who won an Oscar as Best Supporting Actor as Bernardo, head of the Sharks, and Maria's brother). The film is a classic and won 11 Oscars. There was a second version in 2021, directed by Steven Spielberg. Rita Moreno co-produced the film and appeared in it in a different role. Tony was played by Ansel Elgort (The Fault In Our Stars), Maria by Rachel Zegler in her film debut, and Anita was played by Ariana DeBose who also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. The film was completed in time for Stephen Sondheim, the lyricist of the show, to see it. Sondheim died at age 91 in November 26, 2021. Spielberg's film opened on December 10, 2021. Sondheim loved the Spielberg film, but it still tanked at the box office. I am not a huge fan of the show, but both film versions are solid excellence, if different visions. Seeing them should be on the list, if not for the movie reaction channel, then for yourselves. As for Barbra Streisand...You must watch these films: - Funny Girl: Barbra's film debut, based on her breakthrough Broadway performance, she won the Oscar for Best Actress (actually sharing the award for the only time in Oscar history with Katherine Hepburn for The Lion In Winter). The best songs: The Greatest Star, People, Don't Rain On My Parade, and My Man. - Hello Dolly: Another Broadway musical adaptation. There are songs that will be familiar if you have seen Wall-E with the kids. The songs Put On Your Sunday Clothes and It Only Takes a Moment featured in Wall-E are from Hello Dolly, and specifically from the film version. It co-stars Walter Matthau (Max in the Grumpy Old Men movies). - The Way We Were - An Oscar-winning love story, with only the main theme song sung by Barbra...but it's also an Oscar winner. Robert Redford and Barbra are magic together. - A Star Is Born (1976) - One of the 4 versions of this story since the 1930s, this is the third. Barbra won an Oscar for Best Song for Evergreen. Co-starring Kris Kristofferson. - Yentl - Barbra's directorial debut, many wonderful songs, set in turn of the 20th Century Poland about a Jewish woman who disguises herself as a man to learn Talmudic law, against the traditions of her faith and community. Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride) co-stars. - The Prince of Tides - My favorite film of Barbra's. Based on Pat Conroy's novel, Barbra directed Nick Nolte to an Oscar nomination as a Southern man confronting family secrets in order to help save his twin sister. She has a role in the film as the sister's psychiatrist and love interest to Nolte's character, but it is not a huge lead. Unfortunately, Nick Nolte lost the Oscar to Anthony Hopkins for The Silence of the Lambs. Beautiful story, visuals, and score.

Barbra’s “With One More Look at You/Are You Watching Me Now?” from “A Star is Born” is wonderful,too! Not much this lady can’t do! Loved your reactions!

Her rendition of that gives me the chills and just all the feels every single time. Definitely top 3 female vocal of all time.

Can't you tell she was a big Broadway star? She is magnificent.

This song is from the musical West Side Story!! Please check out the movie with Natalie Wood, Rita Moreno, Russ Tamblyn!!

Streisand was the best voice of her generation. Check out Don’t Rain on My Parade. It’s from Funny Girl, the Broadway show that launched her to stardom. It’s unbelievable. Also, if you’re in a Broadway chantreuse groove, check out Edina Menzel who originated the role of Elphaba in Wicked (the one who’s all green). Try Defying Gravity from that show. She’s the Streisand of a later generation: power, control, enormous range and enormous heart. Enjoy!

Just about the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. She touches the soul.

Guys, you've just got to do Barbara Streisand's very first hit, from 1963: "People." It came from the Broadway musical, "Funny Girl." One of the most beautiful songs ever written.

Jay and Amber, this song led off my marriage ceremony. Tears were flowing! It was majestic!

Streisand is the best.

She sings "people" from the first movie she made, which she won an academy award for. The movie is "Funny Girl". My favorite movie by her, and she's had many, is Prince of Tides. A must watch. And, "People" a must.

Barbra Streisand is truly one of the greatest singers of all time. You need to check out some of her best sings...People, Evergreen, He Touched Me, My Man, The Way We Were, and Don't Rain On My Parade. You'll be amazed!

Great reaction. How any music lover could listen to this and not get multiple chills…. is beyond me. It took me a while to appreciate her, but Barbra Streisand is the female GOAT vocalist, hands down. Her very early in her career version of “My Man” is something I believe you two will really appreciate. She’s young with a very crystal clear, big voice.

Barbra Streisand is a living legend. Singer, actor, producer, director, writer. You guys have got to dig into her music catalog, as well as, her movies. Starting with her debut movie musical FUNNY GIRL. This woman is a tour de force, like no other. Welcome to the Wonderful World Of Streisand💃👏💖

If you want to hear her when she was younger, check out the "Happy Days" duo she did with Judy Garland.

When comparing her to other great singers like Celine or Whitney, you hear the difference in style. Barbara doesn't do a lot of noodling or crazy runs. She just hits you square in the face with her power and absolute control over every note. Sometimes I get tired of listening to noodlers that can't seem to sing a single straight note and prefer the equally difficult directness of Streisand's style.

She can sing the phone book and it would be beautiful!

Our choir teacher always said Barbra is the epitome to strive for.

The overwhelming majority of singers today will never be in the same universe as Babs. She is just as great singing live and does not need computers in a studio for creating the illusion that she can sing like many in recent years must have.

Barbara Streisand is the best all time female singer. Her range in her vocals and all types of music she songs is amazing. So much control

She’s got movies, too! Funny Girl, Funny Lady, A Star is Born, On a Clear Day, Hello! Dolly, to name a few. Funny Girl & Funny Lady are my favorites.

Babs is a vocal beast! One of the greatest ever.

The GOAT. Any song, any era, any genre. End of discussion.

I’m sure others have said it but her voice was “Like Butter “. She absolutely had a superbly trained voice , she colored, emoted and she can belt

************************ She is a trained and experienced Broadway singer. From the days before body mics. She was trained to project to the last row of the biggest theaters! That’s why she has so much control in her voice. So much depth, animation and overall quality. She can truly tell a story through song because that’s how musical theatre performers are trained. Studio pop music is child’s play for Barbra! She has more training, control and raw quality to her voice than any studio singer could ever hope to have. This was the perfect song for her to sing because although it was done in a studio with a “popish” sound to it, it was written for the Broadway stage. ************************

Barbara Streisand is a legend! There is no other voice like hers. I was so privileged to be able to go see her sing at Madison Square Garden, later into her career. She was pure magic! You must listen to "The Way we Were", "People" and "Don't Rain on my Parade"!! And, If you can, watch her movie "Funny Girl", one of my all time favorites!!

Happy Birthday Barbra she just turned 82 in April. Her voice is as clear as a bell, and it can be strong and loud or nice and lovely. I love when young people discover Barbra. Watch the Kennedy Center Honors for Barbra Streisand.

One of the greatest singers of all time. She’s mesmerizing!

I think you'll enjoy "Piece of Sky" from the movie Yentl, which she starred in AND directed! Make sure you do the movie version though, although the live versions are great too. I think you two will just be in awe of the last note that she holds that seems to go on and on forever.

She's got the best vibrato.... this song always gives me chills

She was singing that with her whole heart and soul. I hope someday we find the peace she is singing about.

Barbra has the most beautiful singing voice of the last 100 years and she’s been using it for more than 60 of them. For something decidedly different and more upbeat, I encourage you to listen to her rocking Stoney End and The Main Event, which has quite a beat!

Fabulous guys I love her, next song The Way We Were, the Movie is really good also.😊❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧,Jay you talk about Celine Dione they have done a duet called Tell Him it's fantastic 😊❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
