Ah, Ms. Streisand! You have chosen to write this superb poem about a songstress I have always admired. I enjoyed it immensely, and have often sung the songs you name (although not nearly as wonderfully as she sings them). LOL.
Flawless rhyme and meter -- a joy to read!

A brilliant and informative write about an amazing entertainer. I love how you so smoothly include so many of her song titles in your verse. A very creative poem about a very creative lady.

6 stars for the quality of your writing and the wonderful subject!
I have long admired Barbra for her music and acting ability as well as her social conscience. In fact, I chose her song 'Evergreen' to be played at my wedding in 1982.
With great poetic skill, your poem mentions many of her songs while revealing biographical details of her interesting life.

Thank you so much for covering this talented actress/singer. I didn't know anything about her background. I loved how you interwove all the songs and movie titles as you told her story!

I like Barbra Streisand, she has a beautiful and brave soul. You did a great job incorporating her songs into your poem. Very well written.

Brilliant story/poem about our Babs. You sure put a lot into your presentation. I remember her in the eighties when she sang on stage with Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees. And I loved the movie when she pretended to be a boy in Uni I think it was. Well done and best wishes. Blessings, Kay xx

He's very nicely written for an interview to a very good singer. I always enjoyed the singing of Barbra Streisand and I enjoyed your poem about her as well. Have a good day and may God bless you richly and have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. Patric
