So La Streisand has a new album out in November. I am sure one or two members will be getting a copy. A link to Barbra's note on the album. barbrastreisand.com/walls/

Fab. Can't wait. You know Barbra means business when she gets the crimping irons out.

Totally read that as Barbra Streisand Wails.
Now having read her description of it, I’m thinking it might have been a better title.

Don't Lie To Me is one of the most interesting songs she's recorded in decades. Not sure I could take a whole album of Babs Protests Too Much though. At least she's back with some original material.

I thought she was endorsing ice-cream. Recorded in Argentina, presumably... Tax.............Nope, on second thoughts.... that's not impressed me at all.

The single/first song is interesting, but her vocals now - and her vocal style - just don’t suit the music. She still has the power in her voice, but I’m not sure she’s ready to accept her lower register’s limitations.

Could well be the last chance to see her performing live in the UK given her concert dates are now rare and her advancing years. It will be interesting to see what sort of special guests she pulls in.

I didn't even know. Also didn't know ceefax still existed. I love a bit of Babs but I'm not standing for hours (probably in the rain) even for her.

the more stereotyped gay gentlemen on here melted down at the news of Barbra Streisand being announced for BST in Hyde Park? Well, I'm melting down and I'm neither gay nor a gentleman. Unfortunately though, what's causing the melting is the idea of being hemmed into a giant crowd in Hyde Park and being unable to see a diva dot over everyone's heads. I'm seriously disappointed as I've never seen her, but this doesn't do it for me. Avatar changed in honour. She's still going to play me when they do the biopic of my life.

Yes am currently deciding whether to go or not as I love Barbra and have seen each of her tours since the 1990's but I HATE these outdoors concerts at huge venues where you really end up looking at the screen all night. Will probably be the last time she comes to the UK as I know she has said previously that she would not be touring again.

No doubt there will be a golden circle and other areas at the front so you can get a very good view... at a price.

The Celine prices for the Gold circle are 186, Summer Garden 252, Terrace 325 and Diamond circle 325. Normal entry is 90 and primary entry is 100. Guess Barbra will be similar prices. Less than some of her previous concerts but this one is a much bigger audience.

Tell you what, Tibidabo, you buy the tickets, and I'll let you sit on my broad northern shoulders. 🙂 No flashing like last time, though!

I told you before TallPaul. That was hardly my fault. You promised you'd secured that ferret down your trousers. Gave me a right old fright...😱

Well they kept that quiet!!!
Will this be the largest live audience she's had since Central Park in 68?
Unfortunately I've already gone for a diamond circle ticket to Celine so I can't afford another bank busting event. Wonder how much the tickets will be?

Of course you can always save the ticket money and crush by just relaxing in the park outside the arena - you still hear it all live and if you're going to watch screens anyway why not just buy the dvd (if one's released) and get away before the crowd so you get a seat on the bus/tube!

In relented and just bought a general admission ticket when I saw the early presale price. £157 for 2 tickets is less than I expected so booked and booked our accommodation. In London for 1st to 3rd July and now back for 7th to 8th! Decided I couldn't miss what may be her last UK show, even if I have to rely on a screen!
As a postscript it was one of the easiest tickets to book, no endless waiting like Les Mis and Dear Evan Hansen. Guess not too many knew about the first presale.

There was a brief clip of an interview Zoe Ball did with Barbra on the radio this morning. The full interview is on in 2 weeks. Barbra did let slip that Kris Kristofferson and Michael Crawford will be joining her in Hyde Park in July. Sure there will be more.

BBC reporting an interview with Streisand in The Times saying that she believes the accusers in the MJ Leaving Neverland documentary, but that as the two men in the documentary are now married and have children, their experiences ‘didn’t kill them’ so nothing to worry about... really? really? Well that has definitely made my mind up about the Hyde Park concert.A bit like the recent Liam Neeson controversy.Put your brain in gear before you go on the record like this.Her PR people must be in shock.

She has now apologised for her comments and said she should have chosen her words more carefully.There is an old Northern saying...’If you’ve got nowt good to say,then say nowt’.

She misspoke and said the wrong thing, and she's apologised for it. I think everyone will have forgotten about it by this time next week.
She's been on the right side of 99% of other social/political issues and frankly risked alienating a lot of her fans for it - unlike, say, a similar 'vintage' performer that currently has her product on The Strand!

Barbara was interviewed (pre-recorded and over the phone) by Zoe Ball on Radio 2 this morning - it starts about 8:10.
