Barbra Streisand is such an icon. I met her for exactly one second in California. She was coming out of a bank and I was going in. I was looking at the ground and then I looked up and she was THERE. I spoke to her, "Hello Ms. Streisand" and she said, "Hello" back with a really warm smile. That was it. But, it was a wonderful experience for me. That was probably 30 plus years ago but I never forgot it. She a beautiful, warm, and talented person.
@Robin Long Time ago when is was working in Ezeiza Airport (Argentina) i met Mr Robert Duval and i say Hello Mr Duval is a pleasure to met you AND i was hoping that he told me the same in english and i forgot that Mr Robert Duval speak very well in spanish in that moment Mr Duval in pefect spanish say to me EL PLACER ES TODO MIO that means THE PLEASURE IS ALL MINE and all that little story is because i want to say YOU ARE MORE GREAT IF YOU ARE HUMBLE and KINDNESS and i really dont like when i see that a lot stars lose the kindness and grateful we expect as fans I think Barbra is humble and kindness and grateful to the people the same way Mr Duval was with me.
@@ronrossmore211 If you are talking to me you can think anything you want but i know that i am not lying and i dont give a shit if you believe me or not; And you cant make me feeel bad without your trust in me. Because all the little memories i have in my life are real.And maybe your life is so empty that you need to try to ruin other peoples lifes and experiences. You are a cheap person.
I met Jay Leno just about as superficially. I was walking through an airport and we were walking in opposite directions. I just said “Hey Jay” and he just say “Hey”. And that was it. He looked so tired and I didn’t want to bother him and I just greeted him and asked nothing more.
Barbra Streisand calling steve jobs when her laptop when she was having problems with her laptop has to be the most iconic thing ever. love this woman so much.
I am 70 now and I have vivid memories of having to walk to the bus top to get to high school way back in the late 60's. The walk took anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes and I would belt out Barbra's songs the whole way. I dearly loved her voice then and now. It didn't matter to me that I couldn't hold a note in a bucket. I could hear her singing in my brain and heart and that's all that mattered!
@Dan Smith - I don't know. I think James's voice is pure heaven. He can sing with anyone and sound great....even with Barbra Streisand! I was quite impressed with him here. I was amazed at how well they blended, and I think Barbra was impressed and charmed by him. THAT is an accomplishment when Barbra thinks you are good. So what about a little bit of tummy. The boy can still move great! I think he's sexy as hell...as a man comfortable in his own skin, which is highly attractive.
@@patricedecourcy4505 IM SORRY...IM JUST TOO SHOCK!!, I LOVE BARBRA SHES THE GREAT AMERICAN SINGER I AM THE MOST SEXIEST HERE!!BECAUSE....I AM CIRCUMCISED OK!!
Never, never, never in a million years have I ever tought of Barbra Streisand doing a carpool with James Corden. Never. She did it and it is great. I am 56 and her voice has been with for my my entire adult live. What a wonderful world was played on my mother's funeral .When I feel blue or happy she sings in my ears through modern technology. A few years ago she came to the Nerherlands, my home country, to give a concert. I had the money to a the ticket in the front row but I was to ill to be there. I saw her perform in my country, a thing I could never have concieved, in the news. It hurted like hell. And I missed it. It might sound silly but I will regret this for the rest of my life, because she has been and is apart of my life for so long. I don't just hear her voice with my ears, I can feel it in my heart. And I would have given almost anything to have been there. But it was not to be. So sorry I've missed you, Barbra. My wish has always been you humming the first bars of The way we were to me, but it was not to be. But great to see you doing things like this.
James brings out the fun with Barbra...never have i seen her this relaxed and easy to be with...every future interview with Barbra should be conducted this way!!...WONDERFUL CARPOOL...
Many are unaware of Ms. Streisand's heart . She donated a chunk of beachfront property in Malibu to a nature conservancy . Untold millions of real estate . She chose "Imagine" for this because she truly believes in the lyrics . Much respect for Barbra , she kicked in doors & is a perfectionist . She's taken a lot of criticism from peers as well as fans , but always remained true to herself and principles . She will forever be " Simply Barbra " .
She is, indeed, INCREDIBLE!!! She sounds so awesome, it's a delight to listen to her. It's so cute when they're singing in "What a Wonderful World", he is looking at her absolutely adoringly, just like a super fan would! I think this was even bigger than Paul McCartney for him! This was fantastic!!!!! I don't know how I've missed it?!? Glad I have it now! 😀😍😱😃👏👏😍😁😄
James Corden. You've got the best job in the world. I'm 54 and have been a Streisand fan since Stoney End. Don't know if I could have been so calm, cool and collected in her company. Well done!
totally agree with you. I would be a screaming nut. But well, James Corden can sing niceley. I can't. But still, in the presence of Streisand..... No way!
I was thinking the exact same thing. Like James must just freak at least once a month at the people that he gets to do carpool karaoke with. I wonder whose idea was? But hhe has sat in the car and sang with absolute legends! He's such a sweetheart and you know he never takes it for granted and totally appreciates it.
Listening to her book now because I saw her interviewed and she had great stories. She is such a likeable woman! So funny and fun. Brave, curious and kind. I just never knew any of this.
@@carlofantiga5058 - Streisand, even as a 77 year old woman, sounds better and less murky than most mediocre artists. In fact, Streisand"s mediocre is still superior to other artists.
I hope Barbra knows today and every single day how beloved she is, how revered she is, and how much she is a treasured part of millions of people's memories of growing up and making their way in the world with her beautiful voice like a warm breeze in the background. Love you Barbra!
She's just too cute. I love how cheery and excited she got when Siri pronounced her name properly. I didn't even realize that people were pronouncing it wrong. Barbra was a constant voice on the radio and face on the TV when I was growing up. I watched her in Funny Girl, Funny Lady, Hello Dolly, and The Way We Were. I just loved so many of her songs and performances. Her duets are absolute perfection (especially with Barry Gibb). The Way We Were, Evergreen, and I've Dreamed of You always gets me so emotional. What a phenomenon Barbra is.
Yes exactly! I feel the same way. Just grew up with her everywhere on telly & radio 📻. I was just always in awe of her beauty that just shone threw her vocals. Fabulous woman 👏
What makes this session great is the fabulous chemistry there was between James and Barbra. She was so relaxed and seems to be truly having a fabulous time. I could watch this video all day !!!!!!
That is not a wonderfull look 🤨....that is the look of „i dont want to look like i am over 70 but 😳the damn Plastik surgeon can only do cat faces with no expression left.....so now i am a not wrinkled cat.“ But year she can still sing wonderful.....
So "unpretentious" that she demands to sit on her "good side" in every interview and talk show appearance, causing the people to rearrange things for her. This whole setup with the booted car was so she could be in the passenger seat, on her "good side". She's not even really driving. They're on a platform that they use for camera crews to film people in movies to look like they're driving, because she can't drive. (Look out the window at how high up they are over the cars). All that for her "unpretentious" self.
@@teehlfx5238 The skit was enjoyable because James Corden's team made it into something funny. And I do like her and think she's talented. But she is notoriously demanding and difficult. I just call it out when people talk about how "down-to-earth" she is.
@hutch Life has taught me that unless you have had your own personal experiences with someone, you're really not qualified to use other people's experiences as if they were your own. There are always two or more sides to every story and if you were not actually involved in that story, repeating what you've heard is not much better than gossip.
Wow. Look at her tearing up at the beginning of Memories. I had the privilege of singing (in a choir) on stage with her for two nights, and it is an experience I'll never forget. The moment when she looked at us and smiled in appreciation is worth so much.
I would die in her presence. She is incredible. My parents took me to see her live in concert. And that night was so magical and so breathtaking. And to see this side of her completely in her own essence is so refreshing. I thank both my parents for introducing me to a remarkable talent and yet a beautiful humanitarian. Thanks for sharing your Barbara experience.
I worked as a security officer at a marina way many years back. Barbra was there and Don Johnson was with her and they were there to make an appearance. It would have been impossible to find someone that was sweeter or more genuine and kind than she was to me that day.
I have loved this woman's voice since I was a kid in the 70s. It doesn't get any better than hearing her sweet, strong, oh so controlled voice. 😁😁😁💖💖💖💖
@@AdieAdie17 right? I think it is sad. I really wonder what she would look like now if she had to self confidence to age gracefully, without the "help" of a knife. She was beautiful.
I'm actually curious to know if the youths of today know who she is Press like if you know. If not gway and go listen to old music and educate yourself. Side Note.... Music never dies. It ages like a fine wine.
A living legend is someone who's stayed relevant, iconic and has been part of everyone's life's soundtrack since she started recording in the 60's until today. Today's singers don't compare our even can have the massive hits she's had.
of course they can't compare, they haven't had 40 years of career... 'cause they haven' t been around for that much yet? Like some of them have just started hitting their 30's... You should maybe wait until 2050 to judge how long people from the 2000's/10's have lasted (especially if you don't count the fact that a lot of those famous singers had their ups and downs)
@@celia1888 True. I personally think there are quite a few talents from the younger generation that will stand the test of time. Some people might not agree with me, but I think Lady Gaga is just beginning to show her true talents. She's a complex and multi-layered artist. Even her whispered singing has power.
Whether you like her or not there is absolutely no denying the vocal abilities this woman has. By a large number of vocal critics most agree that she is the best mezzo soprano in the world. They state why and it’s for several reasons but that was the consensus.
James you live an enchanted life... To be with Ms Streisand and share music and create this wonderful moment in time. Thanks to you and Ms Streisand for this event :)
Her voice lasted until her early sitxites... after that diminishment. Its range is gone, and her voice is always hoarse now. Wish she hadn't had all the yanking and pulling to her face either. Plus, that's not her hair. Don't all land on me, she saved my childhood. Just telling it as I see it.
Barbra had simply been lucky for a long time. Shes admittedly lazy when it comes to vocal study/exercise. She’s also a pot smoker which mixed with age can lower a woman’s register. It is still beautiful for 77 but amazing? I’d say no. But art is relative. I’m happy you enjoy it though. I adore her!
When people today hear the word diva, they often just think of whitney, mariah, aretha and celine. They forget one of the greatest vocalists of all time and she is Barbra Streisand. She’s one of the very few singers who can sustain notes so long with a matching fast vibrato. Plus, she always sings with her heart. You can just feel the emotion in every word she sings. She’s a legend.
jay kay wtf I know she has had a ton of work done on her nose and who knows what else but I think she is gorgeous and she doesn’t look fake like other celebs!
A true music icon! Streisand has one of the best voices in music ever! Love it when she compliments James' singing by saying "Pretty". James should make an album with the artists who has participated in his Carpool Karaoke.
God I love her! So authentic! What a magnificent singer & performer! So sad she stopped performing all those years. she is one performer WORTH seeing & hearing!
She gives me goosebumps the moment she speaks, let alone sings ❤️ What a gift she’s given us with her years and years of music and movies. She is a true true icon!
Undoubtedly Barbra has fans of all ages but what makes me smile the broadest is when many of her landmark songs bring back specific moments for me and triumphs for her. It is a remarkable thing to hold an audience captive for more than fifty years. That’s how long I have adored this woman. And I know so many others feel the same way. Disappointment? Very, very rarely over a half century of outstanding, ground breaking, astounding professional and personal moments that have taken my breath away. Whether standing at the bow of a tugboat streaming through New York harbor; risking her reputation to bring to life the story of a young Yeshiva boy to honor her own father; constantly reinventing herself and the idea of what true beauty is or standing up to express her strong opinions, no other performer has touched me as she has. And yet I think she is the most charming when expressing her own self-doubt. Thank you James Cordon for this delightful experience. And thank you Barbra for everything! I look forward to more....... .
Made me smile and cry. There is so much dimension and feeling hearing her sing Memories now compared to before. What a gift. Her last album was amazing!
James Corden, I am soooooo envious you got to meet Barbra Streisand. Of all the singers on this planet, her voice is the only one that touches my soul every time I hear her. I don’t know why I love her voice, and personality as much as I do, especially when I have never met her, but I love everything I know and have seen of her. You are one lucky man to be in the position you are in to get to meet her. Barbra Streisand you are my idol, thank you for sharing your voice with the world.
Barbra Streisand is a classy woman with a tremendous voice. I love her hairstyle. She has been my favorite singer since the 70's. What a treat to see her with James Corden.
I really dig her, that said, I think the 'long straight hair forever' thing could be improved by a shorter do, considering she is rather petite in stature. I guess boomer ladies dropped the 'cut you hair when you are 50+ thing', and they are going to look like teenagers until they die.
Yeah, he's constantly oversinging the REAL stars in the car. Totally disrespectful to the star and to those of us who click on the video because we saw Barbra's name on it.
Wow, lucky man. One of the best singers in the history of American music, great personality, ambitious and commited, outspoken woman, filmmaker, producer, songwriter, philanthropist is picking you up. This is fantastic!!!! Creme de la creme. Barbra looks GREAT!
Barbra Joan Streisand, I started listening to you at the age of seven. 51 years and counting. Love, Admire, Cherish, NONE of these are strong enough words to accurately tell you how I feel about you. You have been such an important part of my life...Thank you for all the JOY you have given me for over 50 years. If I ever had the chance to meet you I KNOW that all I would be able to do is cry tears of happiness. I don't think I would be able to speak. Your talent is immeasurable, there is NO ONE that can hold a candle to you. 🕯 NO ONE!! My wish for you each and every day is for you to be happy each and every day. So many memories, too many to count. And STILL they go on, with this Karaoke I just watched. Stay safe, Be Happy, Always Be the Wonderful Person That You ARE!!!! 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵 My father says that babies come in bottles... And last night he said, They grow on special baby bushes... I don't believe in the storks I know, they're all in the zoo, busy with their own babies... And what's a baby bush anyway??? MY NAME IS BARBRA 🎶🎶🎵🎵🎶🎵🎵🎶🎶
Barbra Streisand is the most talented singer, actress, songwriter, concert and movie producer, concert and movie director and a filmmaker. She is remarkable. A truly legend DIVA alive. A real person and down to earth person in the universe in spite of her successful career🙂 I love her so much❤❤❤
Ms Streisand I have been a fan since 1972, I was 5 and saw Funny Girl for the first time. I never imagined I would see you in concert but I have been blessed to see you six times. You were my mother’s favorite as well as mine. You have no idea the influence you have had in my life. You are truly The Greatest Star. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. I wish you happiness and love.
😱😱😱😭😭😭😱😱😱😭😭😭😱😱😱 So I’m watching Carpool Karaoke with James Corden & Barbra Streisand & Barbra was one of my IDOLS growing up, all through adulthood. And she was one of my mom’s favorites. My mom passed away 5 months ago. My mom was almost as good as Barbra, but too shy to perform. So far, up to 3:54 has been one song, mostly talking, absolutely hysterical, one of best I’ve ever seen. I hadn’t even thought about what songs she’d sing. At 3:55, they went right into THE WAY WE WERE & I had to immediately stop because I burst into tears and full on racking sobs. My moms and my fav song of Barbra’s and we used to sing it together. And it was the first song I learned to play by memory on the piano as a child. My first thought was that I wanted to call and tell her to watch. But I remembered I can’t. No idea was gonna be this emotionally involving. I still watched it but it just hadn’t occurred to me at all beforehand. Thank you James for this episode. Thank you Barbra for everything you gave us. Memories indeed. And now I want my mom.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😘
Awwww what beautiful words about someone who has touched your life in such an amazing way...I am quite sure your mother was watching Barbra AND you from Heaven...👼
@@Pestyfield When you are 70+ years old and you have been performing for 50+ years, you can charge what you want. For those who cannot pay, thankfully there are videos. I would not have paid for her concert had I not been performing (for free).
Omg, I absolutely ADORE Barbra. I was listening to her when I was 8 years old, and all the other kids had no idea who she was, or those who did, made fun of me. I'm now 52, and I love her even more than I did 44 years ago. My bucket list wish is to see her in concert. I'd sit in the bathroom of the theatre if that's what it took...;
Maybe because her peak of stardom was before my era, I just don't get the fuss around Barbra Streisand. I find more of her music dated and not memorable beyond some of the musicals.
Her voice is still beautiful. Naturally the vocal chords age over time but also it depends on how well you take care of your voice over the years. She has obviously taken good care of herself.
She is an extraordinary talent no doubt, love her acting, singing and directing she does it all, always puts her best in everything she does, NOBODY will every be disappointed in her performances.
Barbra Streisand is such an icon. I met her for exactly one second in California. She was coming out of a bank and I was going in. I was looking at the ground and then I looked up and she was THERE. I spoke to her, "Hello Ms. Streisand" and she said, "Hello" back with a really warm smile. That was it. But, it was a wonderful experience for me. That was probably 30 plus years ago but I never forgot it. She a beautiful, warm, and talented person.

Singing ‘Don’t Rain On My Parade’ with Barbra herself is the most iconic dream ever.

My favourite song of hers.Her range on that is impossible.
“Don’t Rain on my Parade” was straight female rap before it’s time and Babs nails it flawlessly every damn time!

for sure. and then she sang the way we were perfectly. O, what a voice.
Well tell what you want. Corden can sing. Damn

It's obvious James is a true fan of Barbra. The way he looks at her while they're singing together is so sweet!
And the way he sits, like he's totally intimidated.
And he's not even gay.
Hello Twizz, How are you?
Barbra is Definitely one of a kind. A great person, actress, and great singer. Nobody come close to her . Love her !!!. ❤❤
Oh… she’s like “Buttah”! Love Barbara!❤

At 76, she is still amazing! Thank you, James Corden.

Wonderful Video.

I hope Barbra knows today and every single day how beloved she is, how revered she is, and how much she is a treasured part of millions of people's memories of growing up and making their way in the world with her beautiful voice like a warm breeze in the background. Love you Barbra!
Bab's voice is STILL perfectly pitched... and like essence of pure gold....
Enjoy the illusion
Ills Solution you could hear her over James' off key voice?
@@lionheartroar3104 :c
She's just too cute. I love how cheery and excited she got when Siri pronounced her name properly. I didn't even realize that people were pronouncing it wrong. Barbra was a constant voice on the radio and face on the TV when I was growing up. I watched her in Funny Girl, Funny Lady, Hello Dolly, and The Way We Were. I just loved so many of her songs and performances. Her duets are absolute perfection (especially with Barry Gibb). The Way We Were, Evergreen, and I've Dreamed of You always gets me so emotional. What a phenomenon Barbra is.
Yes exactly! I feel the same way. Just grew up with her everywhere on telly & radio 📻. I was just always in awe of her beauty that just shone threw her vocals. Fabulous woman 👏
What makes this session great is the fabulous chemistry there was between James and Barbra. She was so relaxed and seems to be truly having a fabulous time. I could watch this video all day !!!!!!
Hello Dear, How are you?
Barbra, you could NEVER disappoint!!!!!!!! NEVER EVER!!!!
Barbara streisand is 77 years old. She looks and sings wonderfull @
She looks like she's had work done.
That is not a wonderfull look 🤨....that is the look of „i dont want to look like i am over 70 but 😳the damn Plastik surgeon can only do cat faces with no expression left.....so now i am a not wrinkled cat.“
But year she can still sing wonderful.....
Lady gaga
Is Barbara or Barbra
@@alejandrocarvajal418 It is Barbra, not Barabara
What a joy to see Barbra Streisand again. She is the music of my childhood and family. What a treat!
Era um sonho assistir com meu pai o seu show .Ele tem 87 anos.❤
She is so warm and unpretentious here. When she sings with James, you can really see the appreciation.
So "unpretentious" that she demands to sit on her "good side" in every interview and talk show appearance, causing the people to rearrange things for her. This whole setup with the booted car was so she could be in the passenger seat, on her "good side". She's not even really driving. They're on a platform that they use for camera crews to film people in movies to look like they're driving, because she can't drive. (Look out the window at how high up they are over the cars). All that for her "unpretentious" self.
hutch I think the skit was for the better having her in the driver side. So funny!
@@teehlfx5238 The skit was enjoyable because James Corden's team made it into something funny. And I do like her and think she's talented. But she is notoriously demanding and difficult. I just call it out when people talk about how "down-to-earth" she is.
@hutch Life has taught me that unless you have had your own personal experiences with someone, you're really not qualified to use other people's experiences as if they were your own. There are always two or more sides to every story and if you were not actually involved in that story, repeating what you've heard is not much better than gossip.
@@YatesNYC Life has taught me that we often build up celebrities into these mythical figures so full of virtuosity and our adoration.
There is something about her voice, even when she is just talking, I enjoy it.
True!
Yes yes i can totally relate!
Yes, I can understand what you mean
agree
I knowwww her voice feels like a blanket
Wow. Look at her tearing up at the beginning of Memories. I had the privilege of singing (in a choir) on stage with her for two nights, and it is an experience I'll never forget. The moment when she looked at us and smiled in appreciation is worth so much.
I would die in her presence. She is incredible. My parents took me to see her live in concert. And that night was so magical and so breathtaking. And to see this side of her completely in her own essence is so refreshing. I thank both my parents for introducing me to a remarkable talent and yet a beautiful humanitarian. Thanks for sharing your Barbara experience.
Oh wow.Lucky you!
would've completed my musical life if I had the chance to see her perform live in the Philippines
Wow is right! You sang with the first superstar on this planet: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbra_Streisand
I worked as a security officer at a marina way many years back. Barbra was there and Don Johnson was with her and they were there to make an appearance. It would have been impossible to find someone that was sweeter or more genuine and kind than she was to me that day.
I have loved this woman's voice since I was a kid in the 70s. It doesn't get any better than hearing her sweet, strong, oh so controlled voice. 😁😁😁💖💖💖💖
Hello Melinda, How are you?
This woman never gets old, 76 years and looks fantastic, gorgeous lady and her voice is unique like an angels singing in the heaven...
Yeah but at léase good facial work, she didn t change the Sharp of her nose or lip injections
Ever heard of plastic surgery?
@@AdieAdie17 right? I think it is sad. I really wonder what she would look like now if she had to self confidence to age gracefully, without the "help" of a knife. She was beautiful.
I'm actually curious to know if the youths of today know who she is
Press like if you know. If not gway and go listen to old music and educate yourself.
Side Note.... Music never dies. It ages like a fine wine.
Some know her due to glee in which the main character was a fan of Barbra's.
@@andthings1611 glee?
i'm 18 and own every single album & movie :) huge huge barbra fan
@@andthings1611 oh that one show with the pedo who killed himself
Gremblo I was originally introduced to her through Fran Fine on The Nanny.
Rachel Berry would love this
YESS lool
Talk about the B/S effect ;)
YES
LolMineCraftPro PlayzRoblox literally my next search is Rachel berry singing this song then the Santana version
YASSSSSSSS!! 😂😂
Her voice, her presence, her aura make her such a special human being.
A living legend is someone who's stayed relevant, iconic and has been part of everyone's life's soundtrack since she started recording in the 60's until today.
Today's singers don't compare our even can have the massive hits she's had.
Colonel Sanders, you are a crude idiot.
S Robin Dittrich
Cry me a river lmao. Somebody’s never heard of the Streisand effect.
of course they can't compare, they haven't had 40 years of career... 'cause they haven' t been around for that much yet? Like some of them have just started hitting their 30's... You should maybe wait until 2050 to judge how long people from the 2000's/10's have lasted (especially if you don't count the fact that a lot of those famous singers had their ups and downs)
@@celia1888 True. I personally think there are quite a few talents from the younger generation that will stand the test of time. Some people might not agree with me, but I think Lady Gaga is just beginning to show her true talents. She's a complex and multi-layered artist. Even her whispered singing has power.
Whether you like her or not there is absolutely no denying the vocal abilities this woman has. By a large number of vocal critics most agree that she is the best mezzo soprano in the world. They state why and it’s for several reasons but that was the consensus.
James you live an enchanted life... To be with Ms Streisand and share music and create this wonderful moment in time. Thanks to you and Ms Streisand for this event :)
Is it only me crying, when Barbra Streisand singing? Her voice is soo .... I even can't describe it ❤️
I know exactly what you mean. ❤️
Right my eyes just start spontaneously welling up 😭😭😭😭
Me too! I have no idea why but I started tearing up and crying.
always i get that effect whenever i hear Barbra sing.. she has that magical effect with just the sound of her voice.
hmm
She's the greatest singer in my lifetime. Blessings, Barbara
Hello Trisha, How are you?
She is a national treasure just such bliss watching this angel.
she is one of the few singers who’s singing didn’t get worse with age, she didn’t ruin her voice, it’s still beautiful and absolutely amazing💗
Whose, not who’s
Exactly
Well it’s not what it used to be..
Her voice lasted until her early sitxites... after that diminishment. Its range is gone, and her voice is always hoarse now. Wish she hadn't had all the yanking and pulling to her face either. Plus, that's not her hair. Don't all land on me, she saved my childhood. Just telling it as I see it.
Barbra had simply been lucky for a long time. Shes admittedly lazy when it comes to vocal study/exercise. She’s also a pot smoker which mixed with age can lower a woman’s register. It is still beautiful for 77 but amazing? I’d say no. But art is relative. I’m happy you enjoy it though. I adore her!
When people today hear the word diva, they often just think of whitney, mariah, aretha and celine. They forget one of the greatest vocalists of all time and she is Barbra Streisand. She’s one of the very few singers who can sustain notes so long with a matching fast vibrato. Plus, she always sings with her heart. You can just feel the emotion in every word she sings. She’s a legend.
I dont :) she's always on my "diva" list :D
Amen to that!
@jay kay
You missed the point sugar, its more about ability and attitude.
A literal STAR
jay kay wtf I know she has had a ton of work done on her nose and who knows what else but I think she is gorgeous and she doesn’t look fake like other celebs!
I truly thankyou James for having Barbra Streisand on carpool karaoke, I have always loved Her voice and the person that She is,
She's absolutely gorgeous at 75!
79 this April 2021
@@blackbassangler man she just never stops aging!
Gorgeous? Cmon she looked like hell. I know she is in her 70s but damn that plastic surgery just didnt go well. Great singer though.
Well she IS 50% recycled gallon milk jugs, so...
@@blackbassangler still in a better health...thank God!
A true music icon! Streisand has one of the best voices in music ever! Love it when she compliments James' singing by saying "Pretty". James should make an album with the artists who has participated in his Carpool Karaoke.
God no. He slaughtered all of her songs
CW I think he should he is so sweet and he can sing so many songs so well..
Fran Fine-Sheffield ("The Nanny") would die from excitement if she had an opportunity to do carpool karaoke with her.
Mikołaj Papież I was just thinking that
She’s hiding in the back. Miss Fine!!!!!
I was thinking in her too! Hidding in the back seat! 😂
I literally got to know Barbra through Fran! Forever thankful!
I was thinking the same thing! That would be “Fran-tastic”
Barbra is a treasure for the world to enjoy. What an amazing voice!
Barbra Streisand what a beautiful soul 💕a true Legend!!!
don't want to be mean but i thought this was a Halloween episode and Barbara was dressed as a witch but apparently this is what she always looks like
Hahahaa, I think she looks great!! Lets hope you look as good as her when your 76 years old!!😱
And after all these year I still melt when she sings Memories...…….
How cool of Barbra Streisand to do this with James Corden and for all of us to enjoy both of their unique personalities and singing. 💞
James you don't realise what an amazing icon you were with with Barbra, a singer, an actor and a producer .. she's just amazing and fabulous.
The best female artist ever ❤️
Amazing in everything she did : Singer, songwriter, actress, director etc.
I agree...she's my favorite!
And Liza Minelli
She is the QUEEN!!! 👸🏼❤️🎤❤️
Madonna is better.
unparralleled singer actress
Love it how she says: "Pretty", when he sings The way we were. And then she does it perfectly.
Hello, how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!!
You can catch James just gazing at her when she’s singing and honestly it makes me so happy
I saw it more as following her lead and keeping up in trying to pretend he knew any of her songs.
God I love her! So authentic! What a magnificent singer & performer! So sad she stopped performing all those years. she is one performer WORTH seeing & hearing!
A true Star, Singer and Icon with so many, many, many hits. Legendary. The One and Only.
Barbra Streisand is an absolute treasure. Beautiful voice that stands the test of time and such a humble and incredible person.
I doubt if she's humble, sweetie. I heard her ego is the size of the world.
So great! I adore her
Talented, without question. Humble? No way.
Humble?!!! She’s a lot of things but I don’t think humble is one of them.
Agree with you 100%
Love how James looks at her adoringly
The woman is A LEGEND, ICON, GREAT, One hell of a voice. My favorite singer of all time. LOVE YOU BARBRA.
OMG It's Barbara Streisand, please don't rain on my parade.The living legend!
She gives me goosebumps the moment she speaks, let alone sings ❤️ What a gift she’s given us with her years and years of music and movies. She is a true true icon!
Hello Amber, How are you?
Undoubtedly Barbra has fans of all ages but what makes me
smile the broadest is when many of her landmark songs bring back specific
moments for me and triumphs for her. It is a remarkable thing to hold an
audience captive for more than fifty years. That’s how long I have adored this
woman. And I know so many others feel the same way. Disappointment? Very, very rarely over a half century of outstanding, ground breaking, astounding professional and personal moments that have taken my breath away. Whether standing at the bow of a tugboat streaming through New York harbor; risking her reputation to bring to life the story of a young Yeshiva boy to honor her own father; constantly reinventing herself and the idea of what true beauty is or standing up to express her strong opinions, no other performer has touched me as she has. And yet I think she is the most charming when expressing her own self-doubt. Thank you James Cordon for this delightful experience. And thank you Barbra for everything! I look forward to more.......
.
Barbara L. Same, and I’m 55. I won’t retype about me regarding Barbra, but if interested read highlighted comment. That’s me. God bless.
No dull moments with Barbra. It's either you get entertained or learn something from her. 💕👑
Made me smile and cry. There is so much dimension and feeling hearing her sing Memories now compared to before. What a gift. Her last album was amazing!
I never would have imagined that Barbra Streisand would be doing a Carpool Karaoke!
DCUOQQuantum , i din't also that She Never would doing this. it's Great that She did this
to promote her album and her political agenda. Go to Canada, sister!!
@@lsavela945 Sorry L, why don't you pick some fascist authoritarian country and stop trying to make the US into one.
It was kind of a dream come true
She has the most amazing voice, could listen to her all day every day
James Corden, I am soooooo envious you got to meet Barbra Streisand. Of all the singers on this planet, her voice is the only one that touches my soul every time I hear her. I don’t know why I love her voice, and personality as much as I do, especially when I have never met her, but I love everything I know and have seen of her. You are one lucky man to be in the position you are in to get to meet her. Barbra Streisand you are my idol, thank you for sharing your voice with the world.
Hello Debbie, How are you?
@@stephenmark00001 I’m doing well thank you, Do I know you? Wanna be my friend😉
@@debbiesaunders1815 Hello Debbie sorry for late reply Yes I'll love to be friend with you where are you from?
Barbra Streisand is a classy woman with a tremendous voice. I love her hairstyle. She has been my favorite singer since the 70's. What a treat to see her with James Corden.
Madeline Tramantano fix your mouth, have some respect!
I really dig her, that said, I think the 'long straight hair forever' thing could be improved by a shorter do, considering she is rather petite in stature. I guess boomer ladies dropped the 'cut you hair when you are 50+ thing', and they are going to look like teenagers until they die.
Hello Lynn, How are you?
she is just stunning in every way.
Do you think so?
One of the greatest voices of all time. I love this woman 🤩
Love that she’s so humble, she’s a Queen & a Legend!
i absolutely love James. He really loves music and totally gets into all of the songs. so cute!!
Doesn't he? Regardless of genre he's into it...I love his love of music🖤🎼🖤
Yeah, he's constantly oversinging the REAL stars in the car. Totally disrespectful to the star and to those of us who click on the video because we saw Barbra's name on it.
Beautiful, I still get chills when I listen to Barbara sing. Best Carpool Ever.!!!!!
Wow, lucky man. One of the best singers in the history of American music, great personality, ambitious and commited, outspoken woman, filmmaker, producer, songwriter, philanthropist is picking you up. This is fantastic!!!! Creme de la creme. Barbra looks GREAT!
patrice decourcy 🙏🏼🙌🏼
🏆
Even from geographic and cultural distant country like Cuba we admire her and consider her arts (filming, acting, singing) a sort of gift from heaven
Wow, so true. I live in Central Europe and I think the same.
11:08 when they start singing don’t rain on my parade
thank uuu
Thanxx

thanks
Thanksss
Barbra Joan Streisand, I started listening to you at the age of seven. 51 years and counting. Love, Admire, Cherish, NONE of these are strong enough words to accurately tell you how I feel about you. You have been such an important part of my life...Thank you for all the JOY you have given me for over 50 years. If I ever had the chance to meet you I KNOW that all I would be able to do is cry tears of happiness. I don't think I would be able to speak. Your talent is immeasurable, there is NO ONE that can hold a candle to you. 🕯 NO ONE!! My wish for you each and every day is for you to be happy each and every day. So many memories, too many to count. And STILL they go on, with this Karaoke I just watched. Stay safe, Be Happy, Always Be the Wonderful Person That You ARE!!!!

Barbra Streisand is the most talented singer, actress, songwriter, concert and movie producer, concert and movie director and a filmmaker. She is remarkable. A truly legend DIVA alive. A real person and down to earth person in the universe in spite of her successful career🙂 I love her so much❤❤❤
Ms Streisand I have been a fan since 1972, I was 5 and saw Funny Girl for the first time. I never imagined I would see you in concert but I have been blessed to see you six times. You were my mother’s favorite as well as mine. You have no idea the influence you have had in my life. You are truly The Greatest Star. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. I wish you happiness and love.
😱😱😱😭😭😭😱😱😱😭😭😭😱😱😱
So I’m watching Carpool Karaoke with James Corden & Barbra Streisand &
Barbra was one of my IDOLS growing up, all through adulthood. And she was one of my mom’s favorites. My mom passed away 5 months ago. My mom was almost as good as Barbra, but too shy to perform. So far, up to 3:54 has been one song, mostly talking, absolutely hysterical, one of best I’ve ever seen. I hadn’t even thought about what songs she’d sing. At 3:55, they went right into THE WAY WE WERE & I had to immediately stop because I burst into tears and full on racking sobs. My moms and my fav song of Barbra’s and we used to sing it together. And it was the first song I learned to play by memory on the piano as a child. My first thought was that I wanted to call and tell her to watch. But I remembered I can’t. No idea was gonna be this emotionally involving. I still watched it but it just hadn’t occurred to me at all beforehand. Thank you James for this episode. Thank you Barbra for everything you gave us. Memories indeed. And now I want my mom.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😘

Thank you for sharing this wonderful moment of your life with us!
Porsche Collector Thank you for being sweet. And you’re most welcome.

Awwww what beautiful words about someone who has touched your life in such an amazing way...I am quite sure your mother was watching Barbra AND you from Heaven...👼
Barbara Streisand? Omg!!!! Yesss!! LEGEND!
Don't rain on my parade! THANK YOU BARBRA!
Wow! Such a beautiful soul. I grew up singing to her music. She still gives me goosebumps. They both sound great together.
Me too. And yes their vocals sounded amazing together! 👏 .. like butter, so pure & easy if that makes any sense.
Hello Tamaera, How are you?
My most favorite singer has always been Barbara. I would give up any day to get to her concert. I really think she is the worlds best talent.
She spells her name Barbra, btw. She's my favorite artist, too.
Streisand's the best, always was, and always will be.
Until you've seen her in concert, you have no idea how incredible she is.
Most working class people could never afford it, sadly. For that I will never forgive her
@@Pestyfield When you are 70+ years old and you have been performing for 50+ years, you can charge what you want. For those who cannot pay, thankfully there are videos. I would not have paid for her concert had I not been performing (for free).
The overpriced tickets I speak of were from 25 years ago
I would loooovvve to see her in concert! Hopefully she does a tour soon! 👸🏼🎤💖
@@Pestyfield her tickets were hardly overpriced for what you received - I’ve seen Barbra live twice and she was worth every fucking penny !
Omg, I absolutely ADORE Barbra. I was listening to her when I was 8 years old, and all the other kids had no idea who she was, or those who did, made fun of me. I'm now 52, and I love her even more than I did 44 years ago. My bucket list wish is to see her in concert. I'd sit in the bathroom of the theatre if that's what it took...;
Hello Dana, How are you?
Every choir amd theatre nerd across the world just exploded at this.
Hell yes!!!
OMG!!!LOOK ON HER FACE!!!OH MY GOODNESS!!!WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING !!!IN AMERICAN PLASTIC SURGERY????!!!!
@@teamsalsalero9452 - Barbra looks so damn fantastic and natural! She's so funny and great here!!
Maybe because her peak of stardom was before my era, I just don't get the fuss around Barbra Streisand. I find more of her music dated and not memorable beyond some of the musicals.
TOTALLY!
She sings like she was still 21. Wow. God Bless Barbara.
Amy Hall uh, hardly
Her voice is still beautiful. Naturally the vocal chords age over time but also it depends on how well you take care of your voice over the years. She has obviously taken good care of herself.
She is an extraordinary talent no doubt, love her acting, singing and directing she does it all, always puts her best in everything she does, NOBODY will every be disappointed in her performances.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Marilyn Alvarez she looks just like Sarah Jessica..... difference is I LOOOVVVEEE Barbra!!!!!!
but i am
She is a goddess. So beautiful in every way. I love every movie she’s ever been in.
