I heard a couple of songs from the album and Streisand’s voice seems, uh, different.
In the duet with Billy Joel on Partners, my understanding is that Streisand recorded New York State of mind many years ago on a solo album. I just wonder if the duet with Joel now is her singing or a splice job of her earlier recording with new Billy Joel vocals?

Except for Elvis Presley’s vocal, these are all new recordings.

Barbra has recorded most of these songs before. They are new recordings for her. Listen to the previous versions. Someone needs to do their reserch before critizing.

Ugh, that Evergreen sounds messy and unnecessary. Trying to hide the unreachable high notes, are we, Babs?
MarionPaige
exactly, it says something that she has no problem re-recording New York State of mind when it can be compared to a previous recording.

Hey, she’s 72! I think she’s in great voice on these clips. She still sounds like herself, unlike some.

I couldn’t stop watching these videos: these people are soiling themselves in every toothachingly sweet segment.
This is a stack of pancakes drenched in butter and syrup, covered with chocolate and honey, sprinkled with sugar, topped with cherries, served with dozen warm puppies and kitties, layered with taffy, laced with caramel, dotted with chocolate bonbons, sprinkled with butterflies and hummingbirds. It’s served in a mile of mink: diabetic coma and hard nipples guaranteed!
Cobalt Blue
Really vomitous.

Hmm wonder if she’ll re-record the pre-monologue to On a Clear Day You Can See Forever from Live Concert at The Forum. She might have to get someone from outside the music industry to make jokes about smoking weed, such as Matthew McConaughey.

I wonder, do younger gay guys still love Barbra? I grew up with her in the late 70’s and still love her. Has she been replaced as THE gay diva by Gaga and the like?

She needed to have Jake Shears sing “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH” with her. Missed opportunities.

I think a perfect duet would be between Barbra and Harry Connick, Jr.. Possible song: “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love”, but anything by the two of them would be fantastic.

Would love to hear Barbra sing with Shirley Bassey, Adele and Bette Midler A gay mans dream!!!!!
