lvdkeyes Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 Barbra Streisand's new CD, LOVE IS THE ANSWER, is out. I just downloaded it and whether you love her or hate her, you must admit she is a phenomenal talent. She is fast approaching 68 years old and her voice is still clear and strong.
Beer Chang Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 Honestly her music doesn't do much for me. Good voice of course, but don't like her song selection Rumoured she slept with Bill Clinton.
lvdkeyes Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Posted September 29, 2009 Love is the Answer In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning Gentle Rain If You Go Away Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most Make Someone Happy Where Do You Start A Time for Love Here's That Rainy Day Love Dance Smoke Gets in Your Eyes Some Other Time You Must Believe in Spring These are some of the songs on the new CD. She has sung so many songs over the years, there must be some of them you like.
Beer Chang Posted September 29, 2009 Report Posted September 29, 2009 A friend was playing some of her early stuff and there were some songs I liked but I can't remember their names. I prefer fun upbeat music and that's not Barbra's style. Good pipes though.
Beer Chang Posted September 30, 2009 Report Posted September 30, 2009 An example of the songs that I prefer female vocalists to perform is Stuff Like That There. The original recording was in 1945 by Betty Hutton and Bette Midler did an excellent cover. Here's the Kelly Clarkson version.
Beer Chang Posted September 30, 2009 Report Posted September 30, 2009 Let's move onto the slow stuff which I suppose is Barbra's strong suit. Here's Ella's version of Bewitched. It sounds real and you can feel the subtle sexuality. Ella Now Barbra just sounds affected and phoney (to ME that's what makes life interesting we all have different tastes)
