There are a few performers who seem to divide people.....you either HATE or LOVE them. How do you stand on these people:
Barbra Streisand
Betty Hutton
Michael Jackson
Josh Groban
I just fell in love with Streisand all over again by watching her on THE JUDY GARLAND SHOW, singing "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered" and "Down With Love" as well as THE medley with Judy, the other medley with Judy and the surprise appearance of Ethel Merman.
I have also been watching the video which was supposed to be released with the "....for the record" boxed set, and all I can say is "Wow!" Yep, it's the early Streisand that I love - and loved when MY NAME IS BARBRA initially aired - after STONEY END, the albums became a mish-mash, mostly mash, which I found little listening value in. I do have to say, however, that of those 70s and 80s albums, I'm still very fond of BUTTERFLY.
Even though it's not Friday, I will say that my media check for the week includes the musical numbers on the dvd of FUNNY GIRL, and gosh, that dvd looks fabulous!
I adore Betty Hutton!
Michael Jackson - well, I appreciate THRILLER, the album. . .and his performance in THE WIZ.
I haven't found a single thing about Josh Groban to NOT like, except maybe for the fact that most of his work is over-produced by David Foster. . .
