I must confess that I have never been a big fan of Barbra Streisand as a singer. I know people think she's amazing. I'd rather see her act than listen to her sing, even as I concede that she has a beautiful voice. Her voice is powerful, distinctive, and perfect. On certain songs, I love it. On others, not so much. I didn't like how she sand "Cry Me A River", for instance. But she does a beautiful song called "Songbird" that I've always loved.
I could do without her duet with Celine Dion, who also has a beautiful voice, but is super annoying to me. They can both really sing... but they are both big diva types.
Very 70s... but I love it anyway.
I also like "The Way He Makes Me Feel" from Yentl, a movie I have yet to see.
It's very 80s, yet still sounds great 30 plus years later.

But it's nice to see them working so well together...
I always liked "Woman In Love"...
Here she's singing "Guilty" with Barry Gibb... I could pass on this.
To be honest, I kind of feel the same way about Better Midler. I love watching her act. I think she's funny. Her singing leaves me a little cold, though. I think I really started to dislike her when she sang "From A Distance".... or maybe it was the whole Beaches soundtrack. I loved the movie, but could probably go my whole life without hearing "Wind Beneath My Wings" again.
