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.

Great singer, but not a nice person, by what I have read in a book. There's a book that says that she was very loose, with apotty mouth to boot. Time for her to retire for a third time.

You are SOOOOOOO shallow! Your remarks prove that it doesn't matter what an individual contributes to this great life of ours, there are always people like you that will tear them down at the first glimmer of being HUMAN ! Nothing you could ever say could deter from the talent and beauty this lady has brought to us.

it shouldnt matter what she looks like, what her weight it, or how she dresses, she has the freedom to do whatever she wants and people will always love her and thats all that should matter...

pepole who dislike barba stessand are stupid whoever disliked her will end up with no freinds and heart and whoever likes her will end up meeting her someday and famous like her she was great in yentl and funny girl and im only 10 and trying to get a agent and all you who like her will end up famous and funny like her

Barbara is a Grand Lady and can clean herself up very quickly when needed
leave her alone at 67 she looks great
with her money she can revamp herself if needed

She is still Barbra Streisand, and I still Love her. We all get old and change pysically. You go Barbra!! Susie Carter

you are right she is awsome

she is not fattttttttttttttttttt like the images!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey what happened to beauty is in the eyes of the beholder ( Her Fans)

Even you, I am sure....Have day's

Be Careful!!!! Karma has a way of biting you in your * !!! A man once said, " a woman at 20 has the face that God gave her, at 40 the face that she makes herself and at 60 the face that she deserves!" Need I say more about you!

She looks like she's in the middle of a work out. Why would anyone wear makeup for that?

thanks for keeping it real, but the lady can sing

Give Barbra a break. She is in her own back yard. She does not look good and her personality won't win any prizes but her voice sure can.

Oh come on!!!! Do you look fabulous everyday????? This super star of a woman whom is 67 years old simply looks tired in this picture--nothing wrong with that.....
When you look beautiful everyday--they YOU can talk..... until then GET A LIFE.....

Thank You Barbra for all the years you gave given to us with your songs and movies they will forever be in our hearts and souls.....

That's pretty harsh ...
She's allowed to go natural on her days off. She is still a beautiful woman and looks great when she is " working "
Besides it's her talent we are interested in not her weight!

For all we know that is not even really her. With all the computer generated bs that goes around...Barbra Streisand is an amazing talent in every way and I would like to see what most of those made up stars look like when they first open their eyes , without being made up first.
We all have our good days, but to post a picture of an obviously gorgeous women on the internet , that looks like this is a pathetic, morose, shocking diction of what our society has become. By the way, it is doubtful that "people will not buy tickets" to see her perform, she is always sold out. No matter how many times she retires for the music industry.

Every Icon runs their course and gets old too. 100 years from now, "Funny Girl Two".Barbra is truly worned out and her cells don't replace that much anymore due to advance age.

You are incredibly rude and shallow... and not worth my time, nor anyone else's.

How RUDE! Have some respect. Aside from her great talent and all she is a human being and it disgusts me to see people be so frivilous with their comments. How are you going to look when you are 69 years old.

Barbra Streisand is a vicious anti-American upon whom good Americans have poured fame and riches. She is a self-righteous ingrate and deserves the kind of opprobrium heaped upon her on this forum. If you have ever read any of her idiotic, left-wing "thoughts" on her blog you will realize that she is a nasty and hateful woman. The sooner she disappears from public view the better.

Near the end of Johnny Carson's run on The Tonight Show, Streisand was scheduled to appear and cancelled just hours before the taping. Carson was livid since he had given her national exposure when she was still an unknown singer in New York. He announced what happened to the live audience, telling them that to make up for Streisand's absence, the next night he would have "the greatest female singer in the world, Beverly Sills", as a guest. Streisand was never invited back. Take that, Babs.

i remember wen she was on the fockers how pretty she was now look omg

You obviously have no idea the caliber of woman you have just inarticulately criticized. But, conversely, your comments assuredly give us insight into the caliber of your character.

This article is just disgusting to me! None of us look great all the time, geez at her age, and after all she's accomplished, she deserves to look however she wants in her down time. Besides that, I believe she's had health issues that can contribute greatly to weight gain and aging. Also, lets not forget, she's human after all!!!
Shame on you for your ugly words. YOU are what's wrong with the world today!

I have loved this beautiful lady all my adult life, and when you want to relax without the make up and just be you....how do you look? I wonder what will be written about you, Why don't you try walking in her shoes sometime.

Great post!!!! Streisand has always been ugly!!

She's entitled.

Keep inmind , as far as I can tell , she has not had any work done so good for her . At least she doesn't have her skin pulled so tight she can't blink.

From Cynthia Villarreal, and daughter from Corpus Christi, Texas My daughter and I, Love Barbra Streisand, no matter what? To us she will alway's been a very Beautiful woman alway's will as well as a mother to her childern a wife and our Best freind. We Love you Barbra

this is the other side of my idol...her looks in this picture doesn't matter,for we all know she is an icon,in terms of singing and acting...we all change,and so do you...she doesn't need to wear pretty dresses,and into make up just to go the constuction site of her house...this is she....my IDOL!

Why don't you leave the lady alone. She's getting old like the rest of us. Do you expect everybody to look like a young chick when you are almost 70?
