November 12, 2007--D DAY IS TOMORROW!
Dion day is here. The canadian chanteuse and Streisand-nemesis is releasing her new CD, Taking Chances, tomorrow. Updating her image, she is attempting to stay relevant to today's music buying people while keeping her traditional core fan base. Will she succeed? Probably. Her voice is the most versatile on the market today. Her mega-success in Vegas also shows she can conquer new audiences and appeal to a broad range of fans. Without a doubt, she is considered the top singer in the world, and that commands a lot.

Hi Barbra here. Please get back on topic and talk about ME, ME, ME! No one talks about ME anymore - it's either Celine or J-ho or Mariah on this site. The site is for ME, so get back to ME. Love, Barbra.

I so agree with you, Barb. I pray each day that I will visit this site and learn some nuance of what it's like to be you. I am very humble. I go to work each day (unlike your mother who "worked the mines" in Stoney End). Despite the drudgery I go through, your life is so much more important. Have you finished your house??? The housing market is tanking nationwide but you are able to build while contributing money to poor people. Can I get some of that money? I am just a poor boy who paid for your concert tickets rather than my mortgate payment. In fact, I am taking singing lessons in an effort to avoid foreclosure. You are such an inspiration to me.

No one talks about you because you have not put out a greatest hits album this year. Your homebuilding has prevented you from dusting off "People," "Happy Days Are Here Again," and "Evergreen" and rearranging their order on a new CD with a outtake picture from 30 years ago and new liner notes. You got a lot of mileage here when you recorded "Emily" which showed you at the height of your vocal powers. But now "Emily" is just a mem'ry that no longer lights the corners of our mind. Please record a new greatest hits album and include "Emily." It will surely knock J-Ho and Mariah out of the musical headlines.

It is so important that all Barb web sites focus on her and not stray into other diva territory. I feel the pain in her post above and I plan to send a financial contribution to make ammends. Barbra is hurting and trying to reach out to her fans. We mustn't desert her so I urge everyone who reads this post to go out and buy a copy of "The Movie Album." Even if you own it already, buy another copy. This is so important. Even more important than the Global War on Terrorism which probably continutes because of low sales of Barbra's CD. I don't mean to be overly dramatic but this is important. Please don't harbor terrorism by ignoring this message. If you don't buy Barbra's CDs, the terrorists win.

Yes - you are correct. I have also purchased the song "Emily" on itunes at least 25 times. If everyone would just spend $25 on Emily, it would rocket to the top of the charts and give Barbra another number 1 and end the war on terror. Please buy Emily and end the war!

Oh - I saw Celine on Oprah and she was terrible. All she talked about was her ugly husband and her new album. Did we learn anything new? No. When Barbra was on that show, we learned that she wished flowers to change color and they did. Can Celine change the color of flowers? HA! I doubt she can even change her panties.

Celine or J-ho or even Mariah are not capable of recording a gem like Emily. So enough about those skanks! Back to Barbra!

When Barbra wished the flowers would change -- and they did -- I truly knew Barbra was magical. In fact, I wondered why she didn't wish harder that the war would end. Perhaps she needed to fold her arms and blink after that wish. Or perhaps she was relying on Emily to end the war. Now that you've alerted me to the C and O interview, I fear that C and O are consipring end the war and totally eclipse B's powers. I didn't see this coming. Worse, if C ever dares to re-record Emily, all hell will break loose. And if J-Lo and Marc Anthony's baby turns out to be a singer, Barbra will be but a faded memory. The child is probably singing in J-Lo's womb preparing to make Barbra just another mem'ry. I cry as I write this. The horror is just more than I can imagine. Please everyone, rush to iTunes!!!!!!!!!

This is just more of Brian's and Trixie's propoganda to sell Streisand stuff. I hate them both. My boobs are the most important. Did you not see "Glitter"?

Remember at the beginning of "On a Clear Day" when Barbra sang to the flowers and they grew? That was not camera trickery. Her voice made them grow at alarming speed. She could use that gift for other purposes, if you know what I mean. As far as color changes, I think shades of purple or burnished gold would spice up anyone's "garden."

Barbra cannot change the color of flowers. She can't even keep her chin from doubling or her neck from turkey-ing. I was at my sister's for Thanksgiving. The turkey was overcooked. As I played with the burnt, wrinkled turkey skin, all I could think of was Barbra's neck. Now, I do agree that "Emily" could end the war on terror and should be re-released immediately on a greatest hits album. It doesn't matter that it was never a single or a hit. If Linda Eder can release a greatest hits album with "Don't Rain on my Parade", well then Barbra can release one with "Emily".

Barbra here. Linda Eder??? Did you casually mention Linda Eder and not expect me to fly into a legendary rage about This. She stole DROMP and did a better job! I resent this. I already started several Malibu fires and jeapordized my own home because of comments like this. If you do not stop this insanity, I will go on 60 Minutes and cry again only this time, Louis, I will mention you by NAME!!!!

Yes - one-in-the-same. Like Britney and Paris. Or Whitney and Mariah.

Babra should have starred in "Bewitched." Imagine how she could have wiggled her nose. The pratfalls could have been endless.
