Loi

"She is utterly amazing. There is basically nothing that she does that
doesn't allow her to take home the gold."
Simone
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"I love Barbra Streisand! I have since I was seven and saw this
beautiful, strong, intelligent, enigmatic girl in The Way We Were. I knew
immediately that that's what I wanted to be when I grew up, a strong woman. So
I grew up with Babs and almost twenty years later, she still holds that
special place in my heart, a light and voice in the dark. A woman far more
beautiful than most, maybe even she would believe, a unique soul, a beautiful
soul. That is her true beauty!"
Jessica
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is my favorite diva because she has the most unique and beautiful voice
I ever heard. I also like Céline Dion. I want to be like Barbra when I get
older."
José
(Holland) on Barbra Streisand
"The lyrics, her voice, it all touched me in the deepest of my soul. It

with her music."

(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is the diva!"

only can be soft, perfect, gentle with immaculate phrasing and the ability to
tap into everybody's emotional soul but can also shake the rafters down from
the ceiling with its unmatched power, strength! How she holds on to those
notes for so long, I'll never know? Mariah, Whitney, Céline, Judy, Liza,
Christina et al, you're no match for Barb!"
Perley
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She's fabulous to look at- and -to listen to. I fell in love with her
way back when she first appeared on the Jack Paar "Late Night Show,"
and she was saying she bought her clothes at "Good Will". Somebody
said that, "A star is someone you watch even when they aren't doing
anything." That describes Barbra Streisand!"
Christopher
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She's the most talented."
J.Z.
(USA) on Barbra Streisand

is very cool too!"
Joel
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is smart, the best voice in the world, ever."
Connie

director, singer, actress, what can you ask more?"
Joanne
(USA) on Barbra Streisand

She sends chills all over me whenever I hear her sing. A very multi
talented person who can do it all; sing, act, produce, direct, etc."
John
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"The word diva was invented for her for God's sake!"
Moki
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"What an incredible journey for me since I first heard and saw her in
1964. Streisand's vocal emotion, lyrical interpretation and presence onstage
made me hers from that moment on. I've grown right along side every stage of
her career and loved every choice she has made and in every performance she
was a feast for the senses both visually and vocally as a person I can only
perceive her as that incredibly strong pursuer of that perfection that has
always set her apart from all the rest. To me she will always be the best
because that is what she has always given me-- what I thought was her best and
somehow I have always felt in the theater on the radio or the t.v. that I was
indeed very much included. Wow, she can make anyone feel that way if they only
knew how much she has given."
Hartford
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"The woman is amazing! With a career that has spanned 4 generations, and
the merging of an acting and musical career, she is incomparable! I have loved
her ever since Funny Girl. I will always be a Barbra fan. The true diva!"

smart!"

other woman so into herself, at the same time an amazing American citizen? No
one deserves the fave diva more than the one and only, Barbra Streisand!"
Matrisch
(Germany) on Barbra Streisand
"Wonderful singer! Unique! Emotional! individual! Acting her songs!
Great! Her singing comes from her soul!"
Michele
(Belgium) on Barbra Streisand
"She has the most beautiful voice that no other actual diva can equal.
She's the best in many fields."
Rachael
(UK) on Barbra Streisand
"No one is more talented than Barbra Streisand. She can sing deep, she
can sing high, she can sing rock, she can sing ballads. She can act like
nobody else and can move you to laughing or crying like nobody else. That's
why."
Steven
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is the consummate voice and embodies everything diva."

what she wants and
she gets it. She is so human."
Ebony
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is amazing at everything she does - acting, singing, directing and
producing. She is politically conscious and an advocate for many things. For
more than forty years she has entertained the world and we are lucky to have
her!"
Shirley
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is a fabulous singer, actor, director, composer and she lives life
her own way! There is just nobody else like her. What a voice! What a talent!
She just sends chills down your spine when she sings. She is incredible. There
will never be another Barbra!"
Julie
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is the definition of diva. She is the only diva. There is no one
that can match her. She is the greatest star. Her voice is a gift from heaven!"
John
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"... because she is a complete talent and entertainer. As a person in our
country she tries to make it a better place for everyone. Because she's
still here."
S.J.
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"I love what Barbra stands for, and her incredible voice when she sings.
I finally had the opportunity to see her in person, and I saw why she has had
such staying power for 40 years. There will never be anyone like her."
J.G.
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"When she is around your eyes stay on her only, and there is nothing that
can draw them away. Even Diana Ross looked up at her from the audience at a
Grammy Awards and the camera caught her lips saying WOW."
Matt
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"I've been drawn to her voice since I was 5 years old. She totally
rules."
Paul
(UK) on Barbra Streisand
"... because she is the greatest star!"
Gilmar
(Brazil) on Barbra Streisand
"She is simply Barbra. She is simply fantastic! Having been so
professional for so many years I can't think about another one for the
category."
Marie-Hélčne) on Barbra Streisand
"She's just the greatest.. her voice... wow... her talent... she's just
passionate about what she's doing. She's a gift from God!"
Paola
(Italy) on Barbra Streisand
"... because she's like butter!"
Chamak
(France) on Barbra Streisand
"... because everything she does is really magic. She inspires me with
joy when I'm feeling sad. She's really gorgeous. I love Babs."
Lee
(Canada) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbra is the epitome of power with female sexuality/femininity.
Her wonderful/powerful voice is like non-other; her songs reveal
ballad/message that present heart and soul. The whole combination -
Barbra, voice, orchestra, music cannot be beat. There is a sensitivity
combined with strength and her wonderful sense of apparent humor, her talent
as a comedian/actor offer a dynamite combination. Couldn't imagine our world
without Barbara in it. No kidding!"
Mario
(Spain) on Barbra Streisand
"... because she manages to do everything (singing, starring, directing,
writing, etc.) in the best way. No other female artist has achieved so much
success during so much time. I love her!"
Mark
(UK) on Barbra Streisand
"her voice surpasses anyone else in everything from tone to
interpretation, she has a great skill for comedy and has proved herself an
able director. She hasn't been at the top for 30+ years for nothing!"
Rini
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbra is like Buttah! Her voice is silky smooth and she belts! She is
strong enough to eat men like a box of chocolates and take risks as a director
and producer. Barbra has been my hero as long as I remember, because she
wasn't the perfect beauty, but she had so much character and charisma that she
moved past all that. I mean, she isn't the standard notion of beauty, but oy!
she's gorgeous! I love her to death! I can't imagine a world without her!"
Chaz
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is the ultimate - the consummate performer and star. She has not
only made inroads into every aspect of the entertainment industry but also
stood her ground on vital social and political issues. She is the
quintessential Cinderella story."
Joel
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Her vision, dedication and perseverance throughout all of her artistic
endeavors. She has had to fight very hard for all she has accomplished and in
doing so, has paved the way for the up-and-coming divas of the world.
But above all else... that voice and the will to never lose control over it "
Molly
(Australia) on Barbra Streisand
"Her voice overflows with emotion and her acting isn't half bad either.
Yentl is the deciding factor in this vote!"
Scott
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"The word diva has been misused lately. Streisand is the last of
the truly great divas. Who has taken her place? Madonna is the closest.
And her voice is not exactly what you would call the best (even though I love
her.) It will take someone besides Houston or Carey to truly take her title
away. Good luck to whoever."
Maribel
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"The greatest voice of our times and undoubtedly one if not the best
ever."
Jen
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbra Streisand is the ultimate diva because she has the most exquisite
voice, charm, and talent of any other singer I have heard. She is also the
most beautiful. Barbra Streisand's voice is best described as like buttah!"
Ben
(UK) on Barbra Streisand
"... because of the volume, clarity and quality of her voice. For every
emotion a person can have she can express it in person and in her voice! I
chuffin love her!"
Millie) on Barbra Streisand
"I was gonna say she has the voice of an angel but, Heck, she has the
voice of God! Not only does this angel have the most mesmerizing voice and the
best acting talents the world has ever seen, Barbra Streisand has fought,
still fights, for the equal rights of every person and the unity of people all
over the world. Every time she is criticized by the media and political
leaders (for using her status to voice her opinion and fight for others
rights), she just shouts louder. Streisand is the best of every Diva!
'Nuts', 'A Star is Born', 'Funny Girl', 'Up The Sand Box'. Need I say more?"
Kevin
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"The greatest voice of all time."
Harold
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She's God!"
Ivan
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Arguably the greatest singer! A great actor, a director, a producer,
intelligent and politically concerned!"
David
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"I think her voice is the most distinctive, original and diverse. A human
instrument, and the only singer who reaches my inner being by the notes she
produces through her vocal cords."
B.S.
(Canada) on Barbra Streisand
"Has a unique ability to evoke such strong passion in her music and
acting. A woman of many artistic talents and one who has the courage to speak
out on her beliefs regardless of outcome."
Sherry
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"I love all movies & albums she has made. Plus she seems to have a
big heart. Real, not fake or phony."
Heike
(Germany) on Barbra Streisand
"Ich bin seit nunmehr 21 Jahren der wahrscheinlich größte Barbra
Streisand-Fan auf der ganzen Welt. Sie hat die wundervollste, klarste und Gänsehaut
erzeugendste Stimme im ganzen Universum. Aber nicht nur ihre Stimme, sondern
auch ihre Filme - insbesondere ihre Filme, wo sie Regie führt, die
Hauptrollen spielt und auch produziert - zeigen, dass sie eine Power-Frau ist.
Sie hat alles erreicht, was es zu erreichen gibt. Leider hört man heute nicht
mehr sehr viel von ihr - schade für die Fans und natürlich auch für mich,
aber sie hat es sich verdient, glücklich mit James Brolin zu sein. In jedem
meiner Briefe habe ich sie gebeten, nach Berlin zu kommen. Das wäre für mich
das Größte. Meine Sammelleidenschaft ist aber noch immer nicht versiegt. Vor
einigen Jahren habe ich von ihr ein Portrait gezeichnet und nach New York
geschickt. Nach ca. 3 Monaten kam es endlich zurück - mit ihrem Autogramm.
Diese Bild hat bei mir natürlich einen Platz in meiner
"Streisand-Wand" gefunden. Ich könnte noch mehr schreiben, aber für
den Moment sollte das alles sein. Ich wünsche jedenfalls allen Babsy-Fans
alles erdenkliche Gute, bleibt gesund und hofft wie ich auf ein Live-Konzert
in Deutschland. Liebe Grüße von Heike."
Bryan
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is the best and she has no voice like any other. Wow. She is
the voice of today and she lets the Dems know what she and others are feeling."
Quinn
(Australia) on Barbra Streisand
"Her voice, intelligence, brilliance, shows, all off her recordings and
for just being her - a gift from God."
Pam
(UK) on Barbra Streisand
"A great performer regardless which media she works in."
Darlenia
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"In my opinion, Miss Streisand, (aka Mrs. Bolin) is the epitome of all
divas. Every thing that she does is always exceptional. She is second to none
as far as I am concerned."
Patti
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"I love the way she talks, acts, sings, directs, cares, and just the way
she is. Barbra is very special to me."
Gemma
(Australia) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbra came from a poor family, & did not have a good relationship
with her step-father. She has been discriminated against because she is
Jewish, because of her nose, because of all her failed relationships &
because her son is gay, yet, she has stood tall and taken it all, not changing
herself to fit a stereotype. Therefore, she has suffered, yet stayed
strong. She has complete talent in acting, singing, even stretching into song
writing, directing and producing, not to mention her incredible understanding
of politics. "Eyes are the window to the soul." If this
statement is true, then all you have to do is look at Barbra's eyes to see how
truly incredible she must be. They are so expressive & the love in her
heart radiates out & reflects on her face. Barbra fills each song she
sings, and each character she portrays, with passion and emotion, making them
come to life in your heart, inspiring people everywhere! She touches me
every time I hear her, & I forget that each character is not real (except
Fanny Brice) each time I watch her. I think it is evident, that this woman is
one of the most wonderful divas to ever live."
Marianne
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"I love you for what you worked for... you're an awesomely talented
woman... go Babs!"
Jamie
(UK) on Barbra Streisand
"For the outstanding talent and achievement!"
Peg
(Australia) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbra has just enough mystery, tragedy and yes even glamour, to set her
above all the rest. She the greatest voice ever, so totally talented (across
the board), and a brilliant business person. She's highly intelligent and not
a little bothered about telling the world what she thinks. I admire her guts
and stamina, and I would like to be even half the perfectionist she is. In my
opinion she should be #1 - The Ultimate Diva!"
Brenda
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"I think she really a pretty woman and I admire her strength. She grew up
poor and demanded her way to the top. I think she deserves all the good things
she gets out of life. She's simply wonderful."
David
(UK) on Barbra Streisand
"She has a gay son (tragedy!), is largely professionally despised by her
peers yet has endured and won awards, queens love her, she is not classically
beautiful yet has had stunning pictures taken in the past."
Yobardo
(Mexico) on Barbra Streisand
"She's amazing, her voice, and the personality, she's great."
Ashley
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is simply the best singer in the world! her voice will take your
breath away, and she is a true diva! She has won a life time achievement award
from the AFI for her movies... she is an actress, singer, director, producer,
and songwriter. She has been making movies for decades! They are simply the
best!"
Gina
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbra is the diva to end all diva's. Not only has she been on top and
stayed there for more than 40 years, but her career has been the most
plentiful of any other! The woman has done everything, and things that define
her as a ball breaker. From writing her own music, to directing, producing,
and starring her own film, she has shown the world that she is not only a
diva... but the diva."
Anne
(Norway) on Barbra Streisand
"Well, simply because she is the very best at what she does, which is
basically everything."
Scotty
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She epitomizes class and formidability. And what a voice!"
Amy
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"I grew up watching Funny Girl and listening to her albums. I'm a second
generation Streisand fan. She's just very intriguing. Her voice is
magnificent, her acting as well. She's a very passionate person and I relate
on a personal level to some things she's described that have happened in her
life."
Gail
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Her talent surpasses anybody else. So she deserves whatever she wants. There
is no one like her in every way - talent, charitable kindness and talent
again. I just adore her."
Karin
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Beautiful and talented with the nerve to back up her decisions."
Robert
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Her voice is truly one of a kind, so pure, so clear, no one can sing as
high and low as she does with such ease and one of a kind vibrato. Listening
to her is like feeling the presence of God."
Paul
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Liquid voice. Can belt out the money notes and float the soft high notes
with no breathiness - just pure voice. It's all about an incredible technique.
Also, she's an enigma. She doesn't go to every opening or gathering of the
famous. When she does appear, people gasp - the 2001 Emmy's, need I say more?
Who else could tell the Emmy's that she'd close their little show, and they
couldn't tell anyone prior to it? Who else could sell out a stadium with $350
cheap seats? Oh, and she has sold more records than any other female artist,
has more gold records than any artist except Elvis, is the only female artist
to have 13 multi-platinum albums, and has the longest span of time between
number one albums of any solo artist (33 years.) She's quite simply the bomb!"
Camilo
(Brazil) on Barbra Streisand
"... because Barbra Streisand simply is the best! She is the diva of divas.
Kisses and more kisses to her!"
Courtney
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Go Barbra! I'm also like a bagel on a plate full of onion rolls! Barbra
is so awesome! It's not just a pretty voice (although it gives me goose-bumps).
It's also about the struggles she overcame and her integrity as a woman. She
has a lot of wisdom to offer and I can't think of a better diva!"
Mara
Elisa (Brazil) on Barbra Streisand
"Olá, sou do brasil, adoro vocę, sua carreira, sua música, tudo o que
vocę faz, gostaria muito que vocę viesse aqui para o Brasil, adoraria te
conhecer. Beijos."
Jeff
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Excellent actress and the tops of any leading lady. She is awesome and
timeless."
Bobbi
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
""She's the top!"
Terry
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Like most divas, Barbra has overcome so many obstacles in her career and
still came out of it all smelling like a rose! She has a strange power of will
that translates to the audience."
David
(Belgium
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is the best singer alive. Her knowledge of music and taste, her
intelligence. Her quality of interpretation is unequaled!"
Lee
(Israel) on Barbra Streisand
"She is amazing in every aspect - singing, acting, directing. Just
gorgeous. And she is an inspiration to women and men the world over,
especially Jews."
Susan
(Canada) on Barbra Streisand
"Voice, quality of acting, class and style!"
Josh
(Canada) on Barbra Streisand
"... because she can sing, and direct, produce, act, compose music, has
good sound political beliefs, is a good person , raises tons of money for her
charities, loves her gay son, all is all she is quite simply the very best
entertainer we have!"
Claire
(Australia) on Barbra Streisand
"She has the most divine voice, and a huge talent. She acts, sings and
directs. Her voice thrills me every time I hear it, and I never get tired of
listening to her songs!"
Rachael
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"No one is more talented than Barbra Streisand. She can sing deep, she
can sing high, she can sing rock, she can sing ballads. She can act like
nobody else and can move you to laughing or crying like nobody else. That's
why."
Vickie
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"That face, that voice, that unbelievably hyphenated resume! I
love her voice. She has broken so many barriers for women in the entertainment
industry."
Jim
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"An incomparable voice!"
Mary
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is the greatest talent of all time. Her voice is so beautiful it
touches my heart every time I hear her sing. What more can a person say, she
is an inspiration to anyone who has dreams, she made all of hers come true by
pure talent and determination. I have seen all the movies that Barbra Streisand
has appeared in and she is wonderful. She not only acted in them but also
directed some of them. Barbra is my all time favorite and I'm always hoping
for a new one every year, she is due!"
Shirley
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is her own person that has been more into pushing the envelope in
more areas than any other performer. She does it her own way and continues to
do so."
Gonzalo
(Peru) on Barbra Streisand
"The best diva singer in the world! She always made me feel all her
acting and singing. She always has a very special way of letting people feel
what she really feels the moment she sings."
Nik
(Belgium) on Barbra Streisand
"She has the most outstanding and powerful voice one can think of!"
Lola
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Because! There is none more impressive..."
Guerin
(France) on Barbra Streisand
"She's got a great voice, and is an excellent actress."
Enoch
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Her golden voice! She took up the torch in 1964 when Judy Garland passed
it to her. At 58 she can still knock'em dead! She has her own classic style.
She has great depth and range, still greater than anyone living today. There
have only been a handful of singers, born with great voices who have reached
her level of skill and bravura in performing, I thank God that Barre Dennen
convinced her to pursue singing and introduced her to many of the great
stylist singers, from which she derived her own style. The only pop singer
that I would say surpassed her was Judy Garland (who by the way got a 15 year head start
on performing and for 5 of those years was coached by many of the
best mentors Hollywood ever produced."
Neng
(Canada) on Barbra Streisand
"I just simply love her!"
Kathleen
(Philippines) on Barbra Streisand
"I voted because of my beloved friend Sam. I like the way she sings her
songs and the way she touches people's lives with her music. That's all for
now!"
Jose
(Venezuela) on Barbra Streisand
"... because she sings like an angel!"
Amanda
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She has made it through about 40 years as an entertainer and unlike most
singers she has never died out and I don't know too many singers who can make a
whole concert hall literally shut up just by opening her mouth. It's like she
has you under a spell. I went to her final concert in New York in September
and I have never seen or heard anything like it."
Joe
(France) on Barbra Streisand
"She is the most talented diva in the world!"
Fred
(Chile) on Barbra Streisand
"She is the one and only diva!"
Gary
(Belgium) on Barbra Streisand
"She is so remarkable & gorgeous!"
Marlon
(Philippines) on Barbra Streisand
"She is multi-talented."
Kirstie
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is fabulous. Her voice is like heaven. She is the utmost
perfectionist and a diva in every sense of the word."
Huw
(UK) on Barbra Streisand
"... because of her unconventional looks, singing voice that defies
description (the best female voice in the world in my opinion), and because
she continues making movies even though critics have rounded on her. A
fiercely independent great star who takes no prisoners."
Karen
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is a Goddess. She has the greatest voice and personality I have ever
heard or seen with a celebrity. She fights for woman's rights, does what she
can for causes and seems down to earth and honest when she is interviewed.
I've loved her since I was 12 and will go on loving her always. It's great to
see a site like this where people can show their appreciation to their
favorite stars! Thanks so much!"
Olivier
(Australia) on Barbra Streisand
"She embodies a kind of artistic perfection. Her voice - the most
beautiful one - her movies, her actions for politics and environment. As
Baudelaire said: "The ideal woman is the one who does what she believes
in whenever others do not agree". And she is."
Jim
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"An incomparable voice!"
John
(Australia) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbra is my favorite diva because she is multi talented, good looking
and an absolute around entertainer with a golden voice that is unmatchable and
unsurpassable."
Evelyn
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"... cause she's sexy, smart, and funny and cause I watch some of her
movies, which I have. One movie of her is 'The Way We Were'."
Veronica
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"I have been a fan since childhood. Just listening to her can bring you
to tears. She is an all around talented performer. Anyone who can make you
feel like she does deserves the vote."
Bianca
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"... because she is the best! Her music, her movies ... she's an icon!"
Wayne
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"1. Longevity; 2. Although she has sung all types of music, the end
result is never disappointing and is always distinctively Streisand; 3. The
control she has of her voice is amazing! Sometimes she hits notes and holds
them for what seems like forever transporting me into another world; 4. She's
the ultimate bitch yet there's that soft side of her that the public seldom
sees only in an occasional interview with Barbara Walters and Rosie O'Donnell
or on screen in 'The Way We Were' and 'Yentl'."
Margaret
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"... because she has been
my favorite singer since I was a child."
Mitchell
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She has the greatest voice I have ever heard. And I was a fan of
Garland's at age 12! But I heard Barbra when I was 14 and I have been a fan
ever since."
Judy
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Streisand; the name alone evokes an intriguing image of unsurpassed
artistry, versatility, grace, and show business magic. One of the world's
truly gifted artists, she once referred to herself with monumental
understatement as 'as actress who sings.' At this juncture of her
unprecedented career, the multi award winning star might modestly be termed 'a
powerful woman who also acts sings, composes, directs...' the list goes on.
Barbra Streisand is truly the greatest star."
Luminita
(France) on Barbra Streisand
"She is one of the most talented actresses I've ever seen perform."
Samantha

inspirational products. I also think she's beautiful and endlessly talented."
L.S.
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is the best singer ever! She has and will outlast everyone else.
I've been her fan since I was 13 and back then it wasn't the most popular
thing to be (at age 13). She's like a best friend, always there when you need
her."
Huei

Angela

away millions. She uses her voice to help millions of people."
Mary

"She has the best voice on the planet! No one else can make me cry when
she sings. I love Barbra!"
Gemma

soul. Although she is not a pretty lady the love she holds reflects out &
shows the inner beauty making her the most beautiful woman alive. She has
remarkable talent & leads the way for many to come. She is a true god-send
!!!!!!!!!!!! (you can never have enough exclamation marks) !!!!!!!!!!!!"
David
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbra is not just a singer but an accomplished actress, director,
producer, mother, fashion icon and gay icon! She has been a legend since she
first opened her mouth years and years ago. Talent like hers doesn't come
around very often! It's difficult to vote against the likes of Whitney,
Bernadette, Céline, Tina, etc. But it has to be said!"
Ken
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She has it all! Talent - Power - Humor and Sex Appeal! She is timeless!"
Ignacio
(Argentina) on Barbra Streisand
cause in my personal opinion I think she is simply the best. Her voice,
her performance, the way she thinks, the way she feels what she is doing, have
always made me feel so good and I think I am not wrong because she is the best
selling female voice all over the world!
Joanne
(UK) on Barbra Streisand
She's top. Because she is level headed, she knows what she is talking
about, she always gives her best and she has an enormous, enormous talent.
Jeff
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
It's like she says, she is "simply complex." She's Barbra.
She's perennial. Her voice can calm me when I'm angry. Her persona moves me
beyond anything. Need I say more?
Richard

For a million reasons!

1994. It was one of the most magnificent, emotional nights of my life."
Stephanie
(France) on Barbra Streisand
"I saw Barbra for the first time on television in the middle of the night
on a day I couldn't sleep. I was 20, I didn't know who she was but it took me
5 minutes to be absolutely devoted to her. Such a voice, so many beautiful
songs! Now I know her career very well and I am waiting for her, for
everything new she can do. This is the only person on earth who can make me
dream like that, a real way to heaven!"

popularity for good causes."
Kevin
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is the greatest star."
Vanessa
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She sings songs that have meaning. When Barbra sings it is like she is
telling the story of her life, because of the way she relates to the song.
Barbra imagines herself in the given situation of the song, and expresses how
she would feel. This is what a real diva does, and she is proving to be the
best yet. She always finds time to voice her opinions. She realizes that even
though our current administration has been beset by many problems, it has had
many accomplishments. Barbra has great political views, and isn't frightened
by the thought of being different. She is not only interested in acting and
singing, but she is also interested in politics and how certain things will
affect us. Besides that, she has a way of relating to her audience. She also
has an incredible voice."
Paola
(Italy) on Barbra Streisand

Michele
(USA) on Barbra Streisand

Victoria
(Norway) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbra Streisand is my favourite diva because she's the greatest star!
There is nothing to discuss, nothing to explain. She has always been special
to me."
Veuiller
(France) on Barbra Streisand
"She is the best and I love her so much. I am sad because she is not very
'present' in France. I would want to say to her she is a very, very important
person for me. And I am sad because I think I won't be able to see her ever.
She is an extraordinary person."
Matthew
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"No other woman has broken so many boundaries with as much style as Barbra
Streisand has, for as long as Barbra has, and who else could have gained so
much respect, when most others lose it, for doing it?"
Michelle
(Australia) on Barbra Streisand
"... because when she sings, she brings out an emotion in me that I do
not feel when I listen to anyone else. She has the ability to make you feel deliriously
happy or devastatingly sad with the simple change of a note. Her
voice is so pure and is a sheer delight to hear."

"... because she is the best."
Doug

Robert

"The voice - there's no comparison to anyone else."
Nora
(Peru) on Barbra Streisand

that has ever been recorded, it is - as Stephen Sondheim said - like liquid
diamonds. She has a tremendous personality and huge talent, and even though
she is not exactly gorgeous she has managed to stay on top of Hollywood. Also
because she has always kept a little mystery about her life, saying just
enough."
Niamh
(Australia) on Barbra Streisand
"Ms. Streisand deserves the accolade of 'Prima Singing Diva' mainly
because of her unique and haunting voice. The songs in Yentl belong in a
cathedral, their quality is so immense it is almost religious. She is a
multi-talented woman who has proven herself as an actor / singer / writer /
producer / director. This sense of achievement is an inspiration to women
worldwide. Finally, although not quintessentially beautiful, in her later
years she has developed an elegance that is all her own and always appears
perfectly coiffed in a style that is suitable for her age group."
Gina
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"For one, her voice can never be replaced. There is, and will always be
one voice, Barbra Streisand. Its beauty is unlike anyone's I have ever heard.
It is effortless and endless. The amount of power the wonderful beholds is
amazing. She has lasted for over three decades in the spotlight and is still
going strong. Her legendary presence with never end with time. She will
forever be remembered as the ultimate diva."
Víctor

she is honest with her work."
Catherine
(Philippines) on Barbra Streisand

Kevin
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbra Streisand's talent is unique, vast and comprehensive: she is a
successful singer, actress, producer and director. She has triumphed on
record, stage, screen and television and has been America's consummate female
entertainer since her breakout in 1963. Her stature and accomplishments
continue to grow on yearly and on a worldwide basis. Since 1963, any
number of divas and diva wannabes have had their moments in the sun and then
faded away. Streisand has uniquely maintained her status at the very top of
her profession. She is a cultural icon whose face and voice are instantly
recognizable around the world. Streisand's views, whether artistic or
political, command serious attention. Barbra is endlessly fascinating and is
quite clearly Diva #1!"
Silvio
(Canada) on Barbra Streisand
"Son charisme, son talent, sa voix..."

inspired me to not worry about how many no's I happen to get but to rise above
them, and be a non-conformist. Not to mention I have a lot in common with her!
But besides that she's just perfect ... ::nods affirmatively::."
Gerry
(Hong Kong) on Barbra Streisand
"... because when she opens that throat it is impossible not to be moved."
Flip
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"The woman is remarkable. She is just true talent and deserves more

Marie
(USA) on Barbra Streisand

Darren
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"From the very beginning of her legendary career, she's only been first
class all the way."
Michael
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
She can do anything, act, direct and sing, plus politically, she is not afraid
to speak her mind. When she walks in the room, she commands attention.
Robert
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
Like I actually need a reason! But you want reasons anyway ... That Voice,
That Face, That Talent, The Way she makes me feel. I simply enjoy the lady! Luke
(Australia) on Barbra Streisand
because she is one of the greatest singers of our time. She can sing, act,
direct, write. She's a mother, a diva, an actress, a director, a writer, a
producer, she's everything! I love her! Inthanon
(Thailand) on Barbra Streisand
She's talented, gifted and many things I can't explain. She has the
incomparable golden voice! She's a creative director and beautiful actress. My
favorite song is "A Piece Of Sky" every time I listen to this one my
eyes begin to swell. Robin
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"I have loved her since I was 13 years old and saw her in the movie Funny
Girl. I have all her movies and albums and articles about her, pictures, and
books written about her. I also collect memorabilia on her. She's got the
finest female voice in the world. She's the best!" Magda
(Poland) on Barbra Streisand
"She's the one and only because she can sing anything she wants , she can
act anything she wants , but she doesn't do that . She always has reasons for
doing something, she always understands and feels what she is doing. And in
all the world so far, she is the greatest star!" Katie
(UK) on Barbra Streisand
"You only have to look at her achievements for proof that she has the
most beautiful voice in the world! Aside from that, she has an amazing ability
to make films that deal with real issues, and I think she possesses a great
deal of original beauty and grace." Donna

"She is the ultimate talent in all areas - singing, songwriting, acting,
writing, producing, directing." Nikolai
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"In a world where female singers are liberally referred to as divas
simply because they have one or two hit singles, Streisand is a Renaissance
talent who demands perfection in even the most minor projects she is involved
in. Furthermore, she is not afraid to speak her mind. Whether it be her
political beliefs or her artistic beliefs, she refuses to compromise herself
simply because of a boys club mentality that runs rampant throughout the
entertainment industry. A true diva never follows rules, she makes her own.
And when it comes to that rule, Streisand surely fits the bill." Garth
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"No one can match this woman's voice. She is a renaissance woman. Barbra
sings, directs, acts and continues to support many political and social
causes. Her voice is a gift from God." Tract
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She's amazing." Iclausell
(Spain) on Barbra Streisand

(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"... because she is the one and only." Jim
(USA) on Barbra Streisand

to come close to Streisand's body of work." Roy
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Every song brings back a memory from my life. She has been with me
my entire adult life. Her music has helped me through the good & the
bad." Paul
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"This woman is a perfectionist in all areas, acting,
singing, producing, directing and writing! When one person can do it all,
they are a definite Diva! She has just been voted the all time best selling
female artist for 4 decades now! Now that is a Diva!" Josie
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"No one can top her voice, she sings, she acts, she does it all. She's

"I am a great fan of female singers. And I think she is the greatest
singer I have ever heard." PJ
(Germany) on Barbra Streisand
"She exudes all the qualities of a diva - she influences her audience as
well as the general public. She is multi- talented in music, film and
political comment. Her unusual beauty adds to her diva quality - true beauty
comes from within." Kathleen
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She has given me strength over the years, to fight as a woman and an
individual, to maintain my identity, regardless of popular demand to conform
to society's expectations. I am someone special and I have a lot to
contribute, take it or leave it! I never stop trying. Thanks to Barbra!" David
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"The voice!" Tina
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She has a voice a
presence that touches my spirit. She is beautiful and has accomplished more
than most. She has been able to keep integrity intact. Her name will never be
forgotten nor her beautiful voice." Garry
(Australia) on Barbra Streisand
"I truly believe she is
the best female singer in the world. And I have felt this for 25 years.
I can't believe she is coming to Sydney, Australia. In March 2000. I
just love her!" Agata
(Poland) on Barbra Streisand
"She's just great! I
love her voice and music and ... the way it makes me feel." Marcela
(Mexico) on Barbra Streisand
"... because she is the
best, she can do everything and she does it perfect!" Ben
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She has a stunningly
beautiful singing voice that has demonstrated enormous versatility and range
for nearly 40 years of recordings, performances, television appearances, and
films. She projects an emotional intensity that is without equal." Michael
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"It all began with her
music and her acting. As I have grown so has she. It is now the woman I
respect and admire. The way she speaks out on issues! She uses here fame to
help in so many causes that are important to the people. She is a living
legend, I am certain that when she no longer is of this earth she will have
made her mark here and therefore. She will remain forever in our memories. Her
films and music will continually be introduced to the new generations yet to
come. They will be wishing for what I am thankful for. And that is that
I was alive at the same time as she. I have watched her grow as she has
suffered falls as well as was praised for successes. She has been an example
for women and others to inspire them to go after what they truly believe in.
Have you checked out all the websites in her honor. Established by her truly
loyal following. It shows that the woman has truly made a positive lasting
impression on millions of people all over the world. Her love of this country
and the way she is always willing to display that love and contribute when
possible is another thing I admire. When she sings the songs that we consider
songs of America you can't help but feel her sincerity as you are literally
moved to tears. I get a good feeling in my heart when she sings. I vote Barbra
Diva of the century."
Michael
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She's been not just a
star but a mega-star for over 30 years. Her diva status is secured by
the way she elicits largely extremes, worship or disdain, but rarely apathy.
And that voice is probably the greatest treasures of pop music, living or
dead."
Claudia
(Germany) on Barbra Streisand
"... because she really
means what she sings. You can feel her energy in everything she's doing.
Either singing or directing and acting."
Glenda
(USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Ms. Streisand is my
favorite diva because she's an incredibly talented woman she not only sings
she acts, produces, directs ... you name it, she can do it. She is truly
remarkable."
Lena
(Germany) on Barbra Streisand
"She is superb!"
