Barbra Streisand

[+ BenjaminNicholas]

One... Babs can't sing for shit anymore. She's been pulling back on belts for years.

 

Two... This feels like an op who posts while drunk and was looking for a fight.

 

Three... Linda Eder can still sing circles around Streisand

Four...We still have Bernadette Peters and Bette Midler, so we don't need Babs.

Let's give the 78 year old lady a break; Wonderfull Lady; Wonderful Career,

 

@Liam Tone it down fast, or take a relaxing break from the forum.

I prefer her far more intimate "One Voice" concert at her home in the canyons of Malibu in 1986.

 

For a short time, that property was available to visit, after she moved to be closer to the Pacific Ocean.

I was in attendance at the Malibu fundraiser. Just remembering it gives me tingles.

Instead of Barbra, why don't we talk about something seemingly less volatile and controversial? Like Trump or abortion, maybe? Sheesh!

It funny because it's true

 

You get a group of gay men talking about Garland, Minnelli or Streisand and eventually all hell breaks loose.

Probably not among gays in their 20s.

Right you are.

 

Which reminds me again that I was probably born in the wrong decade.

Individual appreciations are as much a foundation for the music industry as they are for any industry. I'm team Streisand for the unique tonal beauty of her singing that she was/is somehow able to adapt to any of her vocal endeavors.

You're trying to shade a 74 year old fabulous singer and her dead mother? May the wicked witch of the west turn you into a frog! ???

Did I just scroll through a thread that featured a snit fit claiming @WilliamM has never visited a (former?) Streisand property in Malibu and that he knows nothing about a Streisand concert in the 80s? Really? That much venom about an entuhtainuh's house and concert and whether a very nice member knows anything about them?

[Leyte2019]

P.S.

 

Notice how @WilliamM refused to respond in kind. Always a gentleman and voice of reason. We can all learn from him.

The whole point, of the “One Voice“ Concert, was the political re-awakening, which many of us needed, in conjunction with Barbara Streisand‘s return, which was the perfect moment in time for many of us.

 

If you weren’t there, or you weren't alive during that time, you’ll never know or appreciate, how important that concert was.

 

It was, everything.

 

Barbra Steisand was on Broadway in "Funny Girl" and "I Can It For You Wholesale" and on television as a guest on "The Judy Garland Show" long before the outdoor Malibu concert.

Shade? No way. Quite to the contrary

 

Anyone who keeps up with my commentary here (or on my Twitter feed) knows I have huge respect for Judy Garland and Liza.

 

Speaking of which, they just released Liza's entire 1979 New Orleans live concert on Amazon prime video. It's awesome.

While I have lusted over you for years now Benjamin Nicholas, as a fellow Linda Eder fan, I have now fallen for you BIG time!

But Liza was at her best as Lucille #2 in Arrested Development.

Well, there's my plan for the afternoon. Didn't know about this, so thanks! ?

After 20 years without singing in public, on September 6, 1986 when there was barely cable in many major cities - some but not all, Barbara Streisand returned to sing in public offering her “One Voice” concert at her home in Malibu, California.

 

It was indeed highly publicized, a fundraiser for the Democratic Party, for those of whom supported the environment, equality and other such monstrous matters. Some here apparently boo, ecause it was political, but for those who were also blessed with cable, watched on Showtime (The only venue at the time live that covered it. You may remember Robin Williams hocking tickets for $5000 apiece as guests arrived in his true and genuine comic genius.

 

It was one of the greatest gatherings for us older gays, in a long time, for those who were blessed to actually be there or were watching on the one cable channel that you may or may not have had.

 

Cynical gays love to tell you how horrible Barbra Streisand is today, but the truth is that those who make those remarks were actually nobody at the time. And some still are not.

 

Unless you’ve purchased the concert, you’ll never find it on any of the media channels like YouTube in it’s entirety. That’s equally sad and brilliant at the same time.

 

Anyone can visit a home after one of the greatest events one may have experienced in life, but unless you were there, at the time you’ll never understand the impact of that evening of excitement, music, hope and talent.

 

It was the best thing that happened in 1986 for me and for most of my friends.

[Liam]

Many gentlemen in this particular community seem to view people as only having a particular shelf-life of value. And that’s sad.

isn’t that why everyone is here?

 

Everyone has value, everyone that is alive, until they are no longer breathing and what they offer is valuable. Perhaps it wasn’t what it once was, but how do you demean which was once great, now old and useless and non-entertaining?

 

Perhaps some here never had a proper…..

 

[Liam]

It’s also interesting to me how certain escorts, some of whom may participate here, mock and demean other people, who are simply traveling on an airline, and who are walking down a ramp to board that aircraft, and to then take pictures of them, to only mock and ridicule them to how poorly they are dressed or the luggage that they carry.

 

 

 

It makes me wonder how many of them may actually be his clients.

 

Admin Note: Liam, What does this message have to do with the subject of your thread?

Sorry, really confused here. How does this follow the topic of this thread?
