Why do people dislike barbra streisand

I've watched you do this for years. Yes, so-and so-thought she was the most charming person he ever met over their dinner--but it's because she is having dinner with him. And of ALL professions. I knew an actress who actually had the opposite image of Streisand--all giggly and lovable--on camera, but she turned out to be a narcissist that I wish I never met. And it makes me think that if she was not what she seemed, how can Barbra be!? Though, it doesn't necessarily work that way, I realize.

Look at your family. Is everybody what they seem? And I hate to be soooo honest but: the Jewish stereotype is alive and well, yeah, it is. It does not mean all Jews are the same, but they learn from an early age to succeed, practically at all costs. And they have an arrogance that just beams from them.

And Anne Francis was likely right all along. Wow, you are a very pessimistic person, always expecting the worst and darkest side in people - even those you have never met. But they want me to write an epilogue. Can you imagine? Been there done that, you know. But it is interesting to look at something now from this distance. And realise certain things that I might not have realised at the time it was happening.

Please try again later. The Sydney Morning Herald. By Michael Dwyer July 29, — It's clearly her most potent talent: Her range is astonishing, and her ability to take an ostensibly ordinary song and make it profound is staggering. Her distinctive intonation makes the Depression-era song seem entirely new and fresh again. It brought the crowd to their feet, for the last of several standing ovations. If she was looking for love from the crowd, she certainly got it.

Despite the schmaltz, even Scrooge's heart would have melted. Streisand confirmed her status as one of the great live performers on Wednesday night in Montreal, effortlessly performing various old favourites and cracking a few jokes about getting on in life.

At 70, she's now doing what a number of concert performers do later in their careers: bringing on supporting players to help carry the burden of putting on a three-hour-plus show. Gould's contribution was perhaps the most moving: He sang a duet with his mother, and his voice is actually quite beautiful.

Having so many different people on stage besides the star attraction made it feel like less like her concert than The Barbra Streisand Variety Hour. But when she paused to tell the famous anecdote about why she didn't perform live for many years during a concert in the late sixties she forgot the lyrics as she was singing , her confession to ongoing stage fright reminded the audience of how rarely she performs in public.

It made me laugh. These youngsters are formulating their attitudes and maybe they come away feeling that any woman who dares to accomplish something is the incarnation of self-centeredness and greed. And that would be very unfortunate, especially for young girls.
