She once said in an interview "I wish I could be like Liza Minnelli and spontaneously get up at a party and stand by the piano and sing. I can't. It scares me too much." She was scared to death I think. Do I understand it? No. (Edit; only because if I could sing like that you'd never shut me up!) But most of us have fears that, at one time or another, might seem irrational to others. But they're real to the person who has them. Is a praying mantis crawling up your leg going to hurt you? No. But very few of us could honestly say we wouldn't freak out if we didn't feel a tickle and look down and see one of those things on our shin. This is obviously to promote "Yentl" (that's Michel Legrand with her) so it's well before overcoming her fear of public performance--thanks to teleprompters and Paxil she has said. I've seen her live twice, and many times on cable, DVD, talk shows, etc. since overcoming that fear. Today she would get up and do it and laugh at herself for forgetting the words.

It was a perfect genre for her and made her a Super Star!

Thank you, CelineOracle, for sharing this spontaneous moment of Ms. Streisand, which was so enjoyable. Barbra originally sang this song in the key of F#m on the official album of The Way We Were. But, at this event, Michel Legrand happened to play in the key of A-minor, which is supposed to be for a male voice. Barbra did it so smoothly and effortlessly, though. Love it. Thank you again.

I can understand it might be awkward in some ways, but it's Barbara Streisand and I'm sure it's not the first time people wanted her to sing without notice. Don't know why rehearsal or thinking of a song was so important. They just wanted to hear her voice and I think any song would have worked. Let her sing something out of the phone book, i'll be happy with that . I think she handled it kinda well, looked a little frustrated but her voice was still stunning .

Just my take, Like Superman, she has a kryptonite in her system. A certain flaw. Probably her short term long term memory. In which she needed to practice to polish a performance. Having that flaw creates that stage fright or uneasiness especially impromptu . But her voice is pure and legit. She is the first singer that I encountered having such, almost all the singers would sing even a few lines like what we do as ordinary people.

Oh, I think she was fine, considering that she was caught off-guard and hadn’t rehearsed. If she’d known, I’m sure she would’ve practiced a hundred times before she stepped on the stage. The only problem is that Legrand chose a key that was too high. She hit all the notes, but it wasn’t the most beautiful part of her voice.

Poor Barbra. I don't like to see her cornered like this. But still, at least she was game enough to give it a try. She looked totally at a loss for any song to try. But, it occured to me, how could she be so far removed from her early days around 1962, and 1963, making her living by performing in clubs. Only a few decades later, she is absolutely stumped for any song. But, in my heart, I am on her side. She is always more enjoyable when she is prepared and in the right mood. Aren't we all?

Newsflash for Barbra--no one would complain about you forgetting the words. "Forgetting the words " implies a momentary lapse in memory. Most performers laugh it off and make an anecdote of it. Here , Barbra acts as if she's never heard the words before. Very uncomfortable.
