Shaun Johnson Beyoncé sang exquisitely..and I thought that she had so much respect and class to make this comment to Barbara Streisand after her performance! #BeyFan
Lovely classy comment. Showed great respect, which Beyone would have, as a singer herself. Beyonce has a beautiful voice but it can't compare with the emotion Streisand conveyed in her own renditions.
Beyoncé doesn’t get enough credit for her vocal prowess. She’s an excellent vocalist. Her technique, tone, and interpretative powers are on par with many of the GOATs.
Beyonce is not just on par. Her technique is better. Her pitch is more accurate & steady, and her runs are faster, more defined, and more musical than ALL the others. She also has more consistent vibrato in her entire range than a lot of the other ones, and she varries the speed of her vibrato for musical effect as well. Her technique is deeper than most of the other singers.
@@robherrera1084 what’s absurd about it? their speaking about vocals NOT awards which she is extremely underrated and discredited a lot by many when it comes to her being a vocalist simply bc she an entertainer.
@@robherrera1084 yeah she may be awarded for it (like majority of artist) but it doesn’t change the fact that many still considered her some “basic singer” or limited in her vocal abilities when compared to singers who just stand and sing.
Well it's strange that she should be critical. She is not even a great singer. She is standard like any other singers. There are singers that I would expect that from, like Whitney Houston , Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton etc. I am not a fan of Beyonce singing(vocals) But I would confidently say she sang this song better than Babra. And I must say legendary Gladys Knight sang this song like No One. It should have been her original song. I haven't heard any one singing it better than Gladys, followed by the original Supremes Mary Wilson. We are just stuck in stanning and cannot see beyond.
@@sipnog3528 There would not be a Beyonce or a Mariah Carey if Barbra didn't exist. She knows how to hit a note perfectly like all the other talented ladies you have mentioned. Plus she can be critical because she is an actress, producer, director, songwriter, etc. She is a multi-talented artist who has been in the business since 1961. Homegirl gots it xD
@@Zanderthegrape please dont lie. How can you even utter those words? There would be no Mariah or Beyonce? Pls dont give credit where its not due. Or is it that Racism thing where whites promote whites no matter what ? Excuse me. Beyonce is the product of Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner. She studied those Greats to end up what she is as a performer. Who in the world knows Barbrah except for European whites and America? I will say it Again to you, No female artist will ever sing like Whitney Houston and yes she is black. There are many GREAT BLACK ARTISTS that are waaaaaay better than barbra , not just by singing, but by producing classic great songs. Stop this nonsense of using black artists to promote luke-warm white artists and give them super than reality titles. You did that even with Elvis Presley even when Michael Jackson rose up from black community to be the best ever King in the world. And till today white people are trying to down play the role black artist played in Elvis music success. They wrote the songs but are not given the credit due to them cause a white artist must appear superior .
The fact that Beyoncé did the Tina Turner tribute back in 2005, and then came back to do this tribute for Barbra Streisand... shows not only her versatility as an artist, but solidifies her place amongst the greats.
She saves these sorts of vocal performances for tours and televised tributes. Her last tribute, a Stevie Wonder tribute, was in 2015 and she did an incredible job with it: m.ua-cam.com/video/y_pRutlgcOY/v-deo.html
I love when singers with such a distinct voice can pull it back and not overdo the song. Beyonce shows she has range again and can do so much more. Love how she pulled this off.
Never thought about that but she could definitely do more with this song. Her ability to sing soft and have fullness in her voice in every range of this song shows she’s a student. She literally learns!
It’s unusual that Beyoncé is rarely mentioned when it comes to commending modern day vocalists. Yet, here she is proving she is a vocal powerhouse and top of that a class A performer and for that she is a modern day LEGEND. She is the Tina Turner of our our time.
Beyoncé is the best vocalist since her debut. She is truly a legendary vocalist. She will go down as one of the best in history. Her technique and control is unmatched
Babara Stresissand, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Prince, Tina Turner, when you have specifically been chosen to sing for or with all of these greats it says it all, No other female today or even back then has ever been asked to tribute these Legends, Beyonce is what they want, and she delivers impeccably every single time. She cannot be compared to anyone, she’s in in a league of her own and it’s evident!
she's honestly one of the best singers to ever grace this earth. She can do mixelodean scales, Arabic melodies, every genre possible and create distortion effortlessly. Last time I saw her live she literally sang Ave Maria in Italian while jumping into trap with Apeshit in which she was rapping faster than Jay-Z 😂
Agreed. She could really benefit from some of the song writers and producers of that era. Gladys Knight realized that back in the day and went full Streisand and it paid off. Those classics are sung today by adults, and by youth paying homage to adults. They could even be sang by Gladys, still, and Gladys would not appear odd or dated. Beyonce really should put herself on that path so she can be so honored in 30 or 40 years and also have a performing discography for golden years.
Every last one of Beyoncé’s tributes to the greats are practically flawless. Barbra Streisand, Micheal Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Etta James, Tina Turner. Her brief but beautiful one to Whitney Houston. Just a well around talented artist.
There’s so much CONTROL and her extension of notes with subtle vibrato… She’s such a MASTER VOCALIST. I can’t get enough of this woman’s consistency and growth over the decades. 😍

I gotta tell y'all..as a guy born in '68, it goes without saying, Ive seen all of Barbra's greatest moments, be them on film or 'on wax'. And its footage like this, at the Kennedy Center Opera House, in Wash, DC..where I was born, that reminds me of a youth where I ALWAY heard Streisand's voice, right there among people like Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Aretha, Sarah Vaughn, Ella, Patti LaBelle, Chaka Khan/Rufus, any and all Motown stuff, etc..I could go on and on. But her talent was that far-reaching..that the black community LOVED her, just as much as we loved James Brown or Prince.

The amount of times Barbra nodded at Beyoncé singing just proves that Beyoncé has a got such a gifted talent and a stunning voice, you go queen bee! Love you Beyoncé ✊🏻💕💗
It's not enough to sing it, but you've gotta SELL IT! I sense no emotion and Babes SELLS it! Sing it like you had to live it and you still feel the pain of the memories
Beyonce's tribute to Streisand with her rendition of the immortal classic, "Memories" was just amazingly out of this world! And don't ANYONE dare to suggest Beyonce can't sing! THIS performance shows otherwise!
If Beyonce never sang another song she totally cemented her place in musical history here. This is a woman making love to you in a song. She even got the exact tempo down and knew the places in the song where there are key changes. Barbra was also impressed. Huge validation of a great performer to a performer.

Because she oversings most of her own songs and the covers she does🤷🏾♀️ But Beyoncé sleeps on herself as well when she put the sexy vixen and sex symbol before her talent‼️😏
Alot of artist don't have the option to over sing any song..cause they can barely sing.. Beyonce has a lot of talents to her credit thats what make her a great entertainer....
Great job Beyoncé! Loved seeing Barbra’s nods of approval throughout the performance! Not sure why it’s so hard for people to give a positive comment without all the (I’m not a fan or she’s no Barbra.... It was a tribute not a competition 🙄🙄🙄
Beyonce did an amazing job of singing one of Streisand's signature song. Her voice was just gorgeous and her outfit. a stunning tribute to Streisand's characters.
Bravo!! This is the kind of singing I miss. Beyonce did an exquisite job honoring Barbra and not trying to make it something it isn't, which too many young singers try to do. Just sing the melody and that will be enough.
prof32 well yes and no Music his like language and anything art it’s meant to evolve WITH us , otherwise we would all still be living in the Middle Ages This tribute was great and classic tho
This is not an easy song to sing! It requires a long range and grace to perform continuity with those notes. Beyoncé did it all, adding her beautiful present and carisma! It was perfect!
Absolutely Beyoncé is in my top 5 favs of vocalists of all time. People don’t give her credit but she is what Whitney was to the 80s and what Mariah finished in the 90s. This is a living legend. Her music is insightful and makes you think with emotion. Love u Bey
This will never fkn get old. Something popped up yesterday, Barbra saying Bey murked that shit (that was masterful. The beginning and the end…❓⁉️OMG). Imagine that NOW👊🏿👊🏿♥️♥️♥️♥️
Surprisingly I do too😅 Usually she oversings most of her own songs and the covers she does🤷🏾♀️ But Beyoncé sleeps on herself as well when she put the sexy vixen and sex symbol before her talent‼️😏
Hmmm I am listening to this on repeat. This is probably one of my favorite Beyoncé performances. Just simply sublime. Her versatility and artistry are incredible!
Beyonce I love the way you pay honor to those who came before you, showing that you are multi influenced and grateful to musical foundations on which you stand and now creating.
I love that Ms Streisand is literally singing and breathing every note of the song. From around the 2:15 mark, you can actually see her head move with the rise and fall of notes. Beyonce has put her own spin on the song too. Its stunning
I love how you can see that she was _waiting_ for that part to see how Beyoncé would handle it, and then you can see that she not only approved but was pleased. apparently she had seen her do it before this performance and didn't like it as much. she said "I didn't think it was good enough _for her"_ she thought she could do better. clearly she did.
...AND THEN. you get 'the' Nod from Streisand. Put THAT on your resume. PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYER: "... Destiny's Child, sang lead, a couple movies, a few Grammys. Impressive. And I notice that you've received a nod from Ms. Streisand. When can you start?"
Barbara said Beyoncé sang this twice that night. She also said that Beyonce’ wanted to sing it again, maybe because she felt she could’ve done better? Either way, Beyoncé is a perfectionist and this performance is absolutely breathtaking. Beyoncé is the best vocalist of our generation and Barbara nodding her head through this performance, clearly states that as well.
Barbara smiling and her husband, James Brolin, grinning from ear to ear was a such a big approval! My first time listening to this rendition. Beyonce slayed that song! Bravo!!
I went to a performing arts high school back in the late 80s. I auditioned for the music theater program in my 11th grade year with this song. None of my classmates had ever heard me sing before... My best friend played the piano while I sang, At the end of the song everyone was standing up cheering... One of my best memories...
I had to sing this song (solo) in Ms. Higgins 6th grade class graduation. What a fantastic combination of words and music. I'll never forget that moment.
This music makes you sound and look like a Star. And her hair, make up, dress, earrings, voice, everything is perfect! Lord, where is the music like that?
This is just so beautiful and what makes it more amazing is that Beyonce did adjust her singing style to honor Ms. Barbara. Bravo! Edit: Who ever said Beyonce can't sing deserves some hearing aid!
That was a classy performance and acknowledgement of a legend from a young one still in her prime. Loved the Fanny Bryce gown and hair. Beyonce's voice is much more pure than many think. Great job!

The amount of times Barbra nodded at Beyoncé singing just proves that Beyoncé has a got such a gifted talent and a stunning voice, you go queen bee! Love you Beyoncé ✊🏻💕💗
The “number” of times, not the “amount” of times.
Is there a genre she hasn't covered? Simply beautiful.
Right!!! It kills me when they say she CANT sing? Like what artist(mainstream) that you know that can do ANYYY genre 😍
This reminds me just how incredibly gifted Beyonce is with her voice.
How did this performance not get a standing ovation.
Because Barbara did it better! And it can't get any better than that! She's the only one who gets a standing ovation.
It's not enough to sing it, but you've gotta SELL IT! I sense no emotion and Babes SELLS it! Sing it like you had to live it and you still feel the pain of the memories
I’m not even a Beyoncé fan but it’s just something about the way she sings this song it’s beautiful
This woman is incredible. And she’s still completely relevant today, in 2024. 👑
Beyonce does this song justice. Beautifully done.
Beyonce's tribute to Streisand with her rendition of the immortal classic, "Memories" was just amazingly out of this world! And don't ANYONE dare to suggest Beyonce can't sing! THIS performance shows otherwise!
Because it wasn't better than the original diva.
The song is"the way we were" not memories. "Memory" is the song from Cats which Streisand also recorded btw
The most impressive singing I’ve ever seen
She’s so criminally underrated as a vocalist by the general public…
she perfectioned her musicianship to a level that she can sing everything. She's so versatile. I love this cover, her voice sounds so honest.
How respectful of Bey to acknowledge Babs with the honor! Shows how classy and such a beautiful soul Bey has. Very impressive.
That look:yes! The earrings:yes. The singing: yes. Go, Beyonce.
The look is an ode to Barbra's "Funny Girl" Fanny Brice❣
get out of here!!!
@@michelebradley7813 found it thank u...how thoughtful of her ua-cam.com/video/I6CBzOplwKI/v-deo.html
If Beyonce never sang another song she totally cemented her place in musical history here. This is a woman making love to you in a song. She even got the exact tempo down and knew the places in the song where there are key changes. Barbra was also impressed. Huge validation of a great performer to a performer.
Beyoncé is a very critical person herself with her performances... I'm sure she knew the assignment and excuted it BEAUTIFULY.
I like that Beyoncé showed respect to her Elder and said “it is an honor to sing for you, MS. STREISAND.” Shows good home training.
Your comment hides poison.
Indeed lol
Yes!!! Indeed!
How are you doing today my name is Bryan cooker
Beautiful, clean, clear and simply beautiful
yeah lip syncing sounds like that. 0.01 is where the receipts are
Puia Marey Kennedy center doesn’t allow lip syncing. But you tried it
@@DDJONESTV so what appends at 0:01 ? does the sound magically goes to mic with the touch of her hand? u can ignore the facts but dont expect the rest of the world to believe u!
@@puiamarey638 it was an edit mistake, kennedy doesn't allow lipping and that song is too hard tp lip very slow. It's very obvious tho that Beyonce singing live. And who the fuck will lip infront of Barbara? Nobody
@@factpreacher5691 Bee that is who.
Barbra Streisand's nod says it all.
People be sleeping on Beyonce vocals...she is a real Singer..
You are so right! She did a fantastic job!
I have been around to long. Jz Beyonce aren't that fantastic & they're fake. BUT!!! If they with they're status can save our children in foster care and prison system I'm with them. To many nights I called these Prisons & I don't know what to do. I been in system since '72 my husband spent 25 yrs & my daughter in system now. These people don't care. My number is 610+355-6883 please tell me how I can help
Yup
Because she oversings most of her own songs and the covers she does🤷🏾♀️
But Beyoncé sleeps on herself as well when she put the sexy vixen and sex symbol before her talent‼️😏
Alot of artist don't have the option to over sing any song..cause they can barely sing.. Beyonce has a lot of talents to her credit thats what make her a great entertainer....
Great job Beyoncé! Loved seeing Barbra’s nods of approval throughout the performance!
Not sure why it’s so hard for people to give a positive comment without all the (I’m not a fan or she’s no Barbra.... It was a tribute not a competition 🙄🙄🙄
I agree
Haters can't help themselves. Backhanded compliment is bs.
So right
Exactly! It’s so insulting. Beyoncé did a wonderful job and she’s a wonderful performer in her own right.
Exactly...
SMH.
This was flawless. I love this more softer side of Beyoncé.
Nope
Beyonce did an amazing job of singing one of Streisand's signature song. Her voice was just gorgeous and her outfit. a stunning tribute to Streisand's characters.
How are you doing today my name is Bryan cooker
Beyonce pulled this off beautifully. From the hair to the earrings to the singing. Classic. No one can do it better .
Beyoncé Passed the exam with excellent notes to a very demanding teacher. My respect.
Bravo!! This is the kind of singing I miss. Beyonce did an exquisite job honoring Barbra and not trying to make it something it isn't, which too many young singers try to do. Just sing the melody and that will be enough.
prof32 well yes and no
Music his like language and anything art it’s meant to evolve WITH us , otherwise we would all still be living in the Middle Ages
This tribute was great and classic tho
I'm not a Beyonce fan but she ate this up and I love it
It is called phrasing. Diana Ross was a genius at it. A less powerful singer can still create magic.
@@brentchavis9016 Beyonce is A star vocalist lol
This is not an easy song to sing! It requires a long range and grace to perform continuity with those notes. Beyoncé did it all, adding her beautiful present and carisma! It was perfect!
I love the homage she payed with the hairdo and the dress and earrings!! Very much my man from funny girl!! Beautiful cover Queen B
Her vocal ability is amazing
SHE CAN SING
I didn’t know her voice sounded like this? 💁🏻
Absolutely beautiful voice.
leandro silva she was 24 in that performance and Beyoncé is 39, not 40.
@@taytayk.3571 38 lol. She'll be 39 in two months
It's a lipsync..... look at 0:01
mrbear1302 no it’s not you can’t lip sync at the Kennedy honors
@@Rsilva-nv4vp She's 39....
There's no like Beyonce alive she's unic she's fabulous she sounds like an angel
I wish she would sing like this all the time. Shows her true talent and beauty. Well done!!
Tina u should open your ears. Everything shes does vocally is incredible. Why do u think Bab's asked her to do this?
@@antoniojohnson3925 My ears are open!!! That's why I paid her this hugh compliment
I agree, love her when she slow's it up.
So true
she has hundreds of songs with this tone🤦🏾♀️
Absolutely Beyoncé is in my top 5 favs of vocalists of all time. People don’t give her credit but she is what Whitney was to the 80s and what Mariah finished in the 90s. This is a living legend. Her music is insightful and makes you think with emotion. Love u Bey
This will never fkn get old. Something popped up yesterday, Barbra saying Bey murked that shit (that was masterful. The beginning and the end…❓⁉️OMG). Imagine that NOW👊🏿👊🏿♥️♥️♥️♥️
When people say: “ShE’s OnLy An EnTeRtAiNeR…” I show them this. What a talent she is, love her.
If this isn’t pre-recorded, it’s one of the most flawless live performances I’ve ever seen. It literally has me scratching my head. Beautiful
It wasn’t pre-recorded. There’s a story behind it.
chills every single time. eyes might even water.
I like this softer Beyonce
So do I.
I like the ratchet Beyonce..lol partition me please..lol
Carlos Green Lmaoooooooooo
Ratchet Bey for the win!!!!
Me Too
Surprisingly I do too😅 Usually she oversings most of her own songs and the covers she does🤷🏾♀️
But Beyoncé sleeps on herself as well when she put the sexy vixen and sex symbol before her talent‼️😏
Her voice is an instrument❤❤
Beyonce’s voice is truly remarkable she is an amazing vocalist and her rendition of this song is simple breathtaking
Imagine a vocal legend like Mrs. Streisand appreciating your singing and interpretation. I think Beyoncé was so glad.
Hmmm I am listening to this on repeat. This is probably one of my favorite Beyoncé performances. Just simply sublime. Her versatility and artistry are incredible!
Beyoncé notes and breath control moved Barbara head🥰
Beyonce I love the way you pay honor to those who came before you, showing that you are multi influenced and grateful to musical foundations on which you stand and now creating.
How are you doing today my name is Bryan cooker
I love that Ms Streisand is literally singing and breathing every note of the song. From around the 2:15 mark, you can actually see her head move with the rise and fall of notes.
Beyonce has put her own spin on the song too. Its stunning
I love how you can see that she was _waiting_ for that part to see how Beyoncé would handle it, and then you can see that she not only approved but was pleased.
apparently she had seen her do it before this performance and didn't like it as much. she said "I didn't think it was good enough _for her"_ she thought she could do better. clearly she did.
Beautiful Rendention. What a Tribute!
...AND THEN. you get 'the' Nod from Streisand. Put THAT on your resume. PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYER: "... Destiny's Child, sang lead, a couple movies, a few Grammys. Impressive. And I notice that you've received a nod from Ms. Streisand. When can you start?"
Michael Dean Lol, that was awesome
Brilliant analogy!
this is so true she can be very critical of those so covers her songs. But hey that's our Barbra!
AND morgan "the voice of god" freeman was digging it too!!
Well said yet its hilarious 🤣🤣🤣😭😭
I gained a new appreciation for Beyoncé. This was beautiful as was she.
Barbara said Beyoncé sang this twice that night. She also said that Beyonce’ wanted to sing it again, maybe because she felt she could’ve done better? Either way, Beyoncé is a perfectionist and this performance is absolutely breathtaking. Beyoncé is the best vocalist of our generation and Barbara nodding her head through this performance, clearly states that as well.
Nodding but without smiling....I don't think Barbra approves very much
@@chinkayeok6117 Nice, did Barbra tell you that?
@@chinkayeok6117 she almost cried
@@wimbletone she said that in a interview recently
She said Beyonce sand this song twice but it wasn’t that night. She sang it before somewhere else another event
Whenever I'm struggling at the gym, I use Barb's nod at 2:15 to get myself to the finish line
Barbara smiling and her husband, James Brolin, grinning from ear to ear was a such a big approval! My first time listening to this rendition. Beyonce slayed that song! Bravo!!
Just great to hear Beyonce sing in classic way!
I went to a performing arts high school back in the late 80s. I auditioned for the music theater program in my 11th grade year with this song. None of my classmates had ever heard me sing before... My best friend played the piano while I sang, At the end of the song everyone was standing up cheering... One of my best memories...
You should've continued..
The greatest of our time. Beyoncé is the calling. This is the way
Exemplary. Perfect Beauty and Vocals to match. Incredible and increasingly rare.
I had to sing this song (solo) in Ms. Higgins 6th grade class graduation. What a fantastic combination of words and music. I'll never forget that moment.
This music makes you sound and look like a Star. And her hair, make up, dress, earrings, voice, everything is perfect! Lord, where is the music like that?
no one can sing it like Barbra, but props to Bey for a solid performance. Great vocal control
Beyonce is A star vocalist lol
It’s great to hear Beyoncé sing a song straight as written with all those vocal gymnastics. Brilliant
Beautiful performance, who can’t identify with this song! Beautiful just beautiful, good job especially for a pure Streisand piece!
I can see this young lady doing an amazing job acting in a modern remake of the film. Stunning.
This is just so beautiful and what makes it more amazing is that Beyonce did adjust her singing style to honor Ms. Barbara. Bravo!
Edit: Who ever said Beyonce can't sing deserves some hearing aid!
Lol 😆trick daddy need a pair 4 sure.
A beautiful rendition by Beyonce!
She sang beautifully!!
That was a classy performance and acknowledgement of a legend from a young one still in her prime. Loved the Fanny Bryce gown and hair. Beyonce's voice is much more pure than many think. Great job!
