[My Collection] The One And Only the female singer that even Celine Dion admires

"The Concert" is the head of this album, the singer is Barbra Streisand/Barbra Streisand, the unique Barbra.

If there are so many Western singers, the one I love and respect the most is only her. Nominated for the first Tony Award in 1962, released his first solo album in 1963, and is expected to release a new album this year, spanning 60 years of acting career, as a singer, actor, Broadway musical actor, screenwriter, Director... With so many identities, she has won two Oscars, ten Grammys, nine Golden Globes, etc. It is still an achievement that very few people can achieve in Hollywood. In short, she is a legend.

This 1994 Barbra Streisand concert at Madison Gardens in New York once again witnessed the queen's incomparably hard singing strength. This album was released in 1995. Barbara, who is very detailed about singing or recording, and who is hands-on with everything, must have spent a lot of time in the post-production studio.

From a singer who was ridiculed because of her ugly nose, to writing her own songs and making albums, having her own TV show, and stepping onto Broadway, in an age when Hollywood was still full of chauvinism, she not only bought the copyright of a story, but spent three years She adapted the script by herself, and the director who originally took over the director gave up. She simply went on stage to take on the responsibility of the director. This movie is <Yentle/Yang Duo>. Later, she directed and starred in "Prince Of Tide" and was nominated for seven Oscars. She was a living heroine (to borrow modern parlance), breaking through the siege in Hollywood, which was almost dominated by men at the time.

If you are unfamiliar with her music, the album <The Concert> is a great selection, the arrangement is meticulous and elegant, coupled with Barbara's super hard singing, the production quality is not a problem, it was also in the current Grammy. Received multiple nominations. From my first Western song <Evergreen>, to my favorite love song <The Way We Were>, and the suite of the movie <Yentle>... The songs span the representative works of her singing career, and this album even I listened to it countless times in the ten years since it was published, and even accompanied me to Kinmen to serve as a soldier.

So this time, I definitely strongly recommend this album, let's listen to one of the masterpieces of this song.

1 As If We Never Said Goodbye

As the opening song of a concert, she declared: "I'm here!". The song is also included in her very classic Broadway anthology, but I get goosebumps listening to the live interpretation.

2 Ordinary Miracles

This song is a new song at the concert, and I didn't use the live version, because this song is so beautiful, no matter how beautiful the melody or chords are, I can't believe it. The lyrics are also very well written, a song that I often sang inadvertently back then.

3 Not While I'm Around

Song to son Jason at a concert. Jason is the son of her first marriage. He is also a famous singer and actor. In addition to performing in Barbara's "Prince of the Tide", he has performed many works and released a personal album. Barbara is very grateful to have her son by her side, and this song is also an inspiration to her son. For her gay son, she said this: "Even if you are old enough to take care of yourself, no matter how old you are, there is someone Taking care of each other is still very good." This is the mother's great encouragement to her son.

4 Yentl Medley

I have to say this is my personal favorite. Because the songs in this whole movie are very nice and quite difficult, especially in the last segment of <A Piece Of Sky> where Barbara in the movie sings with her now, her last long note always amazes me It's endless, and Barbara, who is nearly 50 years old, still has a very good voice. Although she didn't sing that high pitch, it is still amazing to sing such a high-intensity whole concert.
