Barbra Streisand
concert reviews and tour history

Barbra was absolutely great when singing, unfortunately she spent too much time gushing on about England, her career, her dogs, saving the world blah, blah, blah.
I actually remember some of her script from when I saw her at the O2 in 2007.
Have to say I really don't think she's that comfortable with this type of open air venue, more difficult to control in comparison to a seated internal concert. And I fully respect her desire to control - it's her name selling the tickets and she wants to give us perfection. Barbra, you delivered perfection every time you sang but, for me, not when you chatted.
And yet......I'd put up with the chat again and be happy to pay the £700 that my ticket cost to hear again, Barbra sing 'My Man' & 'The Man That Got Away'. She's not Garland but doesn't need to be, she's herself.
