Barbra Streisand
The O2 Centre
By Yohanna Jacobsson
It is not often you come across tickets that are like gold dust. Tickets that make people's jaw drop whenever mentioned. These were the type of tickets I got my hands on a few days ago. The tickets were of the exclusive kind to the final show at the O2 Arena of the Barbra Streisand European tour.
The show itself was very simple and elegant. Two orchestras were lowered into the middle of the floor and a little table and a high chair were all the props that were used. To fill a big stage like that takes a great performer and “Babs” did a wonderful job of almost making the show seem intimate even tough the 20’000 capacity arena was practically filled. A little bit too much chatting in between songs made the show seem very long and not filled with enough music. The “unexpected” proposal during the Q&A bit of the show was a wonderful touch but it all seemed a bit pre-planned, unfortunately I did not discover the teleprompter until later so I could not check to see if that was the case.
Even though Barbra Streisand is one of few original divas (and I use that word with the best of intentions) that is left, she was more then happy to interact with the audience and even kicked her shoes off after the intermission.
It is easy to see how she got to where she is today. An actress/singer with 47 years experience, starting out in the theatre, moving into film and finally conquering the music stage as well; she knows what she is doing. She sings with such feeling that you can not help to be moved. I think I might even have shed a tear.

Do you have a message for the Barbra Streisand? We know you've all got something to say to the leading lady. If you could sit on a sofa with her and chat over a cuppa (or a G&T) what would you say to her?

About Barbra Streisand
How many women can say they are the best selling female artist of all time? The answer is - one. And that power house of a singer is Barbra Streisand.
She's got a face we all recognise and a voice we all wish we had... as for her fame and bank balance - jealousy is just an understatement. The truth is, this woman deserves every grain of good fortune she gets. Luckily, we get a dose of good luck too - Barbra Streisand herself is set to hit Europe for the concerts of the year. She's bringing a 58-piece orchestra with her... the O2 Arena won't know what's hit it.
It's the first time the lovely lady has performed in the UK for 13 years... that's as many years as she has multi-platinum albums. Not to mention her Oscars, Emmys and Golden Globe awards. Enough already... that jealousy is starting to creep in.
Read on for all the details of the upcoming tour.
