That's right folks, Barbra has a new studio album coming out. She has collaborated with Diana Krall who I must admit I don't know enough about to critique. Anywhoo, Krall produced the thing and here is the NEW (as in not an old picture re-photoshopped to look like a new picture) picture that Streisand fans all over town are just farklempt about; She's like BUTTAH! You lucky Americans can expect to see this one in stores on September 29th I believe but for the rest of us, who can say. We'll just have to be patient. That is all. Jess

Jess ah, i have just pre-ordered this through barbra's web site. apparently if you pre-order you're entered into a raffle of sorts ... to attend a fall concert at the village vanguard (i believe that's the small venue). i've seen her in a huge arena; to see her perform in an intimate setting --yikes.

Hi Martha! Good luck!! Yeah, you go in the draw. 100 people will win tickets to see Barbra performing live at some small club. I would have entered but you have to live in America to be eligible I was sooooo sad. If you win, take pictures!!!!!!!!!!! I am very excited about this one! Jess

OMG Martha, thank you so much. He was obviously a huge fan. As a singer myself that article was a pleasure to read. I think people that aren't into the logistics of singing might find it a long winded article but I found it fascinating and rings so true, alot of what he says about Barbra's voice. Great article, thank you again! As soon as I get onto my desktop computer I'm printing it! I wish I lived in NY so I could get a hard copy of it in the New York Times, but printing it will have to do considering I reside in Sydney hehee
Thanksss!!!!
I've had the album since Friday the 25th which was the Australian release date. It's a world gone mad, Australia got a Barbra release BEFORE the U.S which has to wait until Tuesday for it to hit stores! It's crazy. I don't ever remember that happening! I've been cranlin' it in my house all weekend, lucky neighbours of mine!

Martha, you've got to take a few minutes to read these posts on Barbra's official website that people have written about the contest winner. When they are referring to "Sammie" that is the name of Barbra's dog. Apparently, the breeder of Barbra Streisand's exceptionally rare breed dog, won the contest without even being in the top 20.. AND after submitting a second video (apparently you were only allowed to submit one video, the second would be deleted), her first video magically disapeared to show a better second video. Very juicy stuff, not looking good for Barbra Streisand, Marty Erlichman (her manager for all her life), the person who runs Barbra's official website (who is the same person who runs the Barbra Streisand Forum which I just left for good!) or SONY MUSIC who the contest goes through as well. It's not looking good and fans are completely outraged at the aleged 'scam' contest. And rightfully so! I couldn't enter as I am not a resident of the United States, but to all those who did enter, I'd be mad as heck thinking the contest could have been rigged! Check this out.. read from the bottom upward.. the bottom few are the ones explaining fans' utter disapointment at the 'winner'. www.barbrastreisand.com/us/news/village-vanguard-contests-come-endJess

What a cool link, thanks Martha! OMG more scandal in Barbraland. An infamous name in Barbra-land "Matt" from www.barbra-archives.com is quitting his long lived website. Huge scandal for Barbra fans. His site has everything and anything Barbra. He knows every detail, date, place and time of Barbra's performances etc.. including being asked on numerous occasions for 'information' by Barbra's 'people', so he's really the know all on Barba! After what looks like another altercation with that wacko that runs that forum I used to be on (who also runs the official Streisand website) this guy has QUIT running his adored Barbra website. Fans have been known to not even be able to read the entire website because it is that extensive, as it sounds, it is an 'archival' website. So it contains everything!! He is often used and uncredited for Barbra facts for television or even her latest performance at that Vanguard club, they wanted details of her first performance there and who did they go to, Matt who runs this website for free and happily gives information for free. Huge news, way bigger than Sammie's Cutest Pet Contest being rigged. It looks like the joker that runs the official website is in for a few explinations as to these latest happenings! Eek! I'm just greatful to not be in all the mess over there. I'm on a nice Barbra forum now and this Kate one, just two.. that having said I still think that this only 'sane' forum for any movie star in my honets opinion lol bar learning 'Amber-Speak' converting it into English, it's fairly sane! Just kidding Ambs, I love ya girl, you know it Jess
