Streisand's Guilty Pleasures

[tommer]

did anyone pay this album a listen?
i donnow yet whether i'm too lazy or just too embarrassed to try the rest of it, but i find Night Of My Life to be completly irresistible, so i guess i'm gonna have to try the whole thing. i fear that if i find the album decent, my parents may respect my musical taste....brrrrrr.........

I thought we were going to talk about her reading the tabloids and eating chocolates or something by the title of this thread.

She enjoys angel food cake with Cool Whip. That's what she told Martha Stewart anyway. As long as she still sounds terrific, I will buy her albums.

I'm afraid I'll have to pass, Tommer.

But I did just buy a batch of CDs at Tower:

Tallis - Spem in alium, Oxford Camerata (Naxos)
Ravel - Works for Solo Piano, Jean-Philippe Collard (EMI)
Carter - Symphony No. 1, Piano Concerto, Mark Wait & Nashville Symphony Orchestra (Naxos American Classics)
Martin Denny - Quiet Village & The Enchanted Sea (Scamp)
Mystic Moods Orchestra - One Stormy Night (HDS)

The Naxos American Classics series is outstanding, by the way, & I recommend all of you look into it.

It's a very good album, Barry and Barbra are some combination!

You know, I love Barbara's voice, if only she wasnt such a MEGA-BITCH. I remember when I was in Vegas for Stevie's millenium show, Barbara was playing the MGM acroos the street, and someone told me she actually had it written into her contract that any employee of the hotel that looked her in the eye was to be fired. I dont have proof of this, but I heard it from several people that day. If it's true, that tops anything else I've heard.

I've been a huge fan since 94 and just got this album last night and it is pure BUTTAH! I love it. There are also remixes for Night of My Life coming out. I have them and they are awesome. My favorites are Above the Law, Hideaway, Stranger In A Strange Land and All the Children. A superb album. I've listened to it nonstop today at work.

I wonder if among the Gulity Pleasures listed as songs are :

Gold Plated TP stand in my trailer

Belittling film crew members

Terrorizing stage crews in Vegas

I kinda feel sorry for Mrs Babs, Jimmy Brolin. But he's the perfect mate for her. Whata wuss.

I highly doubt Babs feels guilty about taking pleasure in any of those things.

I'd add firing one of the best living cinematographers cause he didn't want to use pathetically obvious filters to film her in The Mirror Has Two Faces.

Even if I liked Yentl (yes, also her surreal choice to play a twenty-something ) and I think when she wants she can be a very good actress besides an amazing (but sometimes too technical for my tastes) singer.

I really enjoyed her last album, The Movie Album, although some complained that it was to "dull". I guess you just have to be able to appreciate the soothing arrangements and style of that album.

It's true. I won't buy a single thing from her. She will never get a dime out of me. Psycho-cow.
