Because I personally don't find it particularly pleasant to listen to and have always been somewhat surprised that she's considered to be one of the best vocalists of all time. 

No. And I don't like when she uses "gay" as a word for "happy", it's just weird asf.

I think it's beautiful

I like her voice up untill the 70's, she kinda started being too loud in her songs, good example is New York state of mind. I like her now again, when she's using her lower register. She is def a vocalist, has good and less good moments

Well, what you think of her tone and her actual skill level are two different things. She's considered one of the best for a reason.

 

To answer your question, yes, particularly 60s and early 70s Babs is *chefs kiss*

Tell me you mad young without actually saying it

 

Baby the word 'gay' didn't always solely mean homosexual. It was a synonym for words like 'happy' and 'jolly' and was used as such, in both regular society and entertainment, up until recent decades. Babs just old as **** and it's likely a habit lol.

I know a place that thinks Taylor Swift is the greatest artist of all time is not coming for THEE Barbra Streisand's vocals

Absoluely.

Hugely. 70s schizophrenic pop/rock/folk/disco Babs >

I revere her.

One of the greatest interpreters in popular music. She knows how to shape a phrase.

I love Barbra's voice but she has some awful tunes.  I can't fault her though when it is right it is EPIC (People for example) 

well yes, who doesn't?

oh yes ... one of the greatest vocalists that has ever lived

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

try to sing every note of this without losing time and breath lol

I think this is my favorite Babs song
