At nearly 67 years old, Barbra Streisand is one of the greatest ladies of stage, screen and voice of our time. Like most critics, you should be half the person that she is before you criticize!

shame on you. Even overweight she can belt out a song like no other. Anyone with that kind of stamina to perform for us, is to be admired. We have always love Streisand for her voice, anything beyond that is just cream on the sundae.

i think that most critics poke fun at barbra streisand because their insensative ,revolting, sick to your stomach peole and news flash SHES 67 its not easy losing weight at that age. never mind what she looks like unless you write hit songs, direcit, produce, star in movies, and hit insane high notes SHUT UP.
BY A VERY ANGER 13 YEAR OLD BOY

How care how heavy she is as long as she is appy and she can sing like no other female performer and she is and always been loved by many people. I have loved her for years and still do!

She does look like hell. My mother is 68 and doesn't even look close to that. She's a has been like Celine Dion. They should leave her alone and hopefully she will go away and retire quietly

A lot of people can sing better than she can.

So, Elana, you enjoy helping people (so says your bio). And do you also enjoy putting people down, not because of what they do, but what they look like?

This is what you envisioned when you decided to become a writer? It's one thing to criticize others for altruistic reasons-- I cannot imagine what your reason could be.

Watched Barbra on Oprah today. She looked fantastic. How do you look when you get up, no make up, etc.......Give me a break. Her voice can not be beater.....

It's a shame that you would trash an icon like Barbra. There's enough negative press and talk about everybody in this world today. It's easy to trash talk someone. How about saying something nice for a change?
And by the way, Barbra was at her own house; why should she have to put on makeup and get dolled up - do you, on a Sunday morning?

You should be ashamed of yourself Elena. Why would it matter what she looks like her voice is what sold us. You and other people like yourself should not have the rights of a pen nor public offerings. Wonder what you look like without makeup or your hair done.

Can you only imagine how this Headline may have hurt her feelings? Oh that's right you don't care.

You are a disgrace to any publication.

@ALL: The above article – aside from the fact that it dates back to 2006 (although that in itself is not an excuse) – is listed in the Fashion Police category, where the focus is on looks and fashion alone. This is how come Barbra Streisand came to be included here. In no way do (did) I put her down for her music and her countless achievements in both music and film. Ms. Streisand is a wonderful artist with a lot of influence, a brilliant career and a strong fanbase (as all your comments show) but, as far as this article is concerned, she did have a horrible day. This said, my apologies to all those who have found offense in it, and rest assured that was not the intention behind it. Thank you all for your comments.

well i am sitting here watching Barbara on jonathan ross show and she has an absolute beauty about her, she is very very subtle and classy of course not a traditional beauty but i am sure in 30 years time you will be saying the same about jennifer aniston which barbara has a distinct look of. What a very nice truthful and unaffected lady, and oh my gosh what beautiful hands. I think she is very beautiful actually with a certain grace about her.

What a sad person you are, Barbara has given the world some of the best music ever and what have you done for anyone that can compare, absolutely nothing and you have the audacity to critisize because you have no talent to do anything else!!!!!!!

Barbara's music has stood the test of time. Many generations have enjoyed her music. In her acting, she certaily does not mind people having a laugh at her expense and she laughs too. She is a true entertainer.
