Divas - The Site appreciates your votes and comments. Here are some of the little gems you chose to share with us.

 

Loi (Colombia) on Barbra Streisand
"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 makes me happy when I'm sad. It makes me cry if I want to. I sing out loud with her music."

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

Andrea (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"I'll give you six good reasons why: Singer, Actress, Songwriter, Director, Producer, and the Ultimate Collaborator!"

Antonio (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"A quote she made in the 1994 Concert, practically saved my life. This quote was "You cannot look to someone else for your happiness."

"The greatest voice ever!"

Nicole (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Babs is the greatest star!"

Phoebe (USA) on Barbra Streisand

"She's amazing. Everything she does is magic."

John (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Because! Is there really any other, I ask you?"

Katrina (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbra Streisand is the epitome of what singing is all about. In fact, what performing arts is all about."

Icky (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"With her undying talent, she has been able to prove herself capable of almost anything in performing arts. "

Saula (Philippines) on Barbra Streisand

David (Canada) on Barbra Streisand
"Her artistry has been consistent for over 40 years."

Patrick (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is the best singer."

Gavin (UK) on Barbra Streisand
"Nobody else has such style, grace, elegance, poise and a voice that not 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
"No one is as talented as her in my opinion. I never thought she was so great until I saw Funny Girl last week on video. I actually cried! Your site is very cool too!"

Joel (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is smart, the best voice in the world, ever."

Connie (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She rocks!  She's the greatest female singer of the last century, she overtook the Hollywood establishment and did it her way as a director and producer, and she speaks out and helps liberal politicians."

Mike (Canada) on Barbra Streisand
"An elegant and self-confident performer that doesn't come across as arrogant."

Leon (Canada) on Barbra Streisand
"... cuz she is... never found a voice like that... she is a writer, director, singer, actress, what can you ask more?"

Joanne (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She has the best female voice I have ever heard in my life-time.  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!"

Annette (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Voice and presence!"

Denise (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbra is the most famous and fabulous singer of all time. She has been the best diva for years outranking everyone."

Nancy (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She has a voice that can sing to the heavens alone, and everyone would listen."

Ken (Canada) on Barbra Streisand
"Multi-talented, superb artist."

Ken (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is the queen of everything! Talented, funny, beautiful, sexy and smart!"

Maria (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbra is the ultimate diva! I mean, just look at her. Do you know any 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."

Angelo (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"There is no one who can compare to her voice and talent when she enters on stage her presence is felt like no one I have ever experienced in my life."

Agnes (Poland) on Barbra Streisand
"She is very talented. She has charisma. She is very smart. She knows 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-Hélène) 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 você, sua carreira, sua música, tudo o que você faz, gostaria muito que você 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 (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbra is my favorite because she is an independent woman who fights for her creative control and as a result always turns out the best and most 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 (Philippines) on Barbra Streisand
"Magnificent! Extraordinary! Fabulous! Gorgeous!"

Angela (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She is so well rounded and a really good singer!"

Rodica (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She isn't my favorite "diva" per se. She is a person I admire a lot because of her courage to speak out and her professionalism. She has a great voice and all her movies have wonderful and humane ideas within."

S.J. (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She's great!"

Roger (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She has got an amazing voice and acts like no one else. She has released more than 30 albums and was awarded e.g. an Oscar, Grammies, Cecil B. De Mille-Award for Lifetime-Achievement. She's cute and although she's 58 - still beautiful!"

Gies (Canada) on Barbra Streisand
"She is so talented! She is so remarkable! She is beyond comparison!"

Jay (Australia) on Barbra Streisand
"She is beyond comparison a diva! She is the greatest star!"

Shirley (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She directs, acts, sings, is politically involved. She has class and demands of herself what she demands of others. She fights for what she believes in. She has opened the door for female acting. Her foundation gives away millions. She uses her voice to help millions of people."

Mary (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Barbara is a legend and she is still going strong. She is someone who is dedicated and sticks by her beliefs. She is also beautiful, bright, and caring."

Jerry (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"... because she is Barbra!"

Angelina (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"... because she is the best female singer ever and because she's a very good actress and she's pretty."

Sabrina (France) on Barbra Streisand
"... because she has a lovely voice which expresses her soul and her sensitivity. She touches our hearts very deeply."

Baby Sam (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Well, to remind human beings who have been isolated to a deserted island, she (Babs Streisand) is the greatest star of all times."

Soo-Yang (South Korea) on Barbra Streisand
"She is powerful and soft."

Sean (South Korea) on Barbra Streisand
"She's the greatest star in the world."

Christopher (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She's the best."

M.S. (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"Help create demand for Barbara Streisand to redo 'guilty' with KD Lang before the end of the year. The political significance would be huge!"

Ellen (USA) on Barbra Streisand
"She has the best voice on the planet! No one else can make me cry when she sings. I love Barbra!"

Gemma (Australia) on Barbra Streisand
"Her voice is that of an angel & when she sings it comes from her 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.
