That was some serious shade at Streisand. Both Donna and Streisands vocals on that song are stellar
Stellar and million sellers.
Dionne who?
Ms Streisand has had a Number One Album in each decade for over sixty years. She has recorded in French...made a Classical Album..Broadway Albums...Pop Albums....written her own songs and won the Oscar and Grammy for co-writing "Evergreen". She just released , at age 79. "Release Me 2" which debuted at the top of the charts. "Enough is Enough" is still being played today and was a huge hit. A pioneer never scared of trying NEW things. So there's that Dionne....and for being a good friend I do believe her name is Donna Summer...not Summers.
Still wondering why people never get Donna's last name right.
@@glenrushing5361 TRUE!
Dionne has done those things as well minus winning an Oscar but does have Oscar association. She was just stating her opinion…
Set her straight Stuart. These days Dionne just needs to shut up!
@@glenrushing5361 just Dionne, who believes in an extra letter in a name. Remember when she was Dionne Warwicke?
Donna Summer will be The Queen of Disco Forever. Nobody will replace Her. Donna never said anything negative about Barbra Streisand... enough is enough.
Amen 🙏🏽
That song enough is enough was huge and if u want to try something new THERES nothing wrong with it
I'm sorry to say she sounds really presumptuous here. Barbra released very good disco products: Shake Me, Wake Me; I Found You Love; The Main Event/Fight, not to mention Enough Is Enough, of course, and she was also very succesful with those. She doesn't regret them at all even today because she keeps on performing them live.
PS: and i's NOT Donna Summers, please. It's Summer !!
Dionne Warwick is an epitome of class and sophistication. I love that she was honest about this because disco was Donna Summer.
When did it become classy to bash other artists publicly?
@@PaulAncheta she did not bash her she told the truth there was a lot of singer back then who did disco and should not have
@@xavierdh2000 To bash is to speak with disrespect. That's exactly what she did against her fellow artist, whose two disco-styled recordings were big hits in 1979. "The Main Event/Fight" spent four weeks at number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)" was the number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 in late November, number one for four weeks on the disco chart, and eventually certified platinum. Barbra and Donna became the first female duet to hit the top of the charts with this song, which has since been sampled and covered heavily over the years. Now, tell me, where is it written that Barbra Streisand should not have done disco if these two recordings were massive triumphs?
Donna was big on the Disco scene, but so we're other acts.
I guess no one else was allowed to sing disco because it was Donna Summer’s lane. Grow up.
First of all it's Donna SUMMER. A 'really dear friend' would never have made that mistake. And second, Enough is Enough is a fantastic song.
The comment was unwarranted and inappropriate. She could have stopped with Donna was amazing and waited for the next question. Regarding Barbra, she did well in the disco arena and EVERY other genre she stepped into. When was the last time Dionne place in the top 10 of the Billboard chart? I love Dionne and her spunk. Sometimes you need to also add class into the mix and learn when the lady needs to be quiet. I've heard Patti LaBelle mention other singers, but always glowingly. Brava Patti.
Dionne is a great singer but... well, she probably thinks that recording the Guilty album was a wrong move by Streisand...
@@patricedecourcy4505 "Guilty" was Barry Gibb's debut as record producer; Barbra was instrumental in this. The massive success of this album led to other productions, including Dionne's "Heartbreaker". If we were to follow Dionne's flawed logic, then Dionne certainly had no business doing a Barry Gibb album because Barbra would have been (in the Dionne Warwick thinking) the queen of Barry Gibb productions. (Barry and Barbra did another album with "Guilty Pleasures" in 2005, so yes, she's the queen.)
Oh calm down, she's welcome to voice her opinion. Even in the current mad woke world where people are afraid to do so.
Dionne Warwicks (who is a really dear friend of Donna Summers) has forgotten that Barbra Streisand, by getting Barry Gibb to become a record producer, paved the way for her to find a heartbreaker.
It’s Barry Gibbs! He’s a dear friend of mine lol
Pettiness and jealousy doesn’t look good on anyone but it especially doesn’t look good on someone who is trying to grasp her last chance at relevancy. Streisand has done it all and didn’t have to resort to gimmicks like The Psychic Network. Streisand is a true icon who has the class not to shade lesser singers. Donna Summer is regarded as the Queen of Disco but it doesn’t mean that no one else should avoid that genre. It’s just a really stupid comment.
Once again … a sour comment from a bitter individual.
I totally disagree with Dionne. A Dionne Warwick disco album wouldve been a huge success and also connected Dionne to her gay fanbase in a major way.
Oh Dionne, if Donna was your "dear dear friend", you would know that her name was Donna Summer and not Donna "Summers". Dionne has been shading Disco for years---and put some of the blame of her dry period in the 1970s on the rise of Disco---but she made several recordings that I think would be qualified as "Disco".
Dione is funny as heck!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But Barbra did the song WITH Donna, so I’m confused as to how she didn’t belong.
Dionne still believes that Donna Summer should have done that duet with Donna Summer. This explains "Donna Summers", a really good friend.
Dionne I loves ya! But you should have kept your comments on Streisand doing disco to yourself or simply said no comment and I'm sure people would have got the message.
Donna Summer
Amen Dionne
Dionne had the vocal chops to take on DISCO, but she went her own path. Johnny Mathis recorded an album provided by the CHIC team back in 1981 that was only released in 2019. His blue rinse followers may not have ready for that, but I think Dionne's fans would have been way more open!
I love Dionne but I dont agree with that comment on Barbara Streisand . Dionne on the other hand who I appreciate as an artist recorded two disco songs in 79 which were not chart toppers but I think are still great tracks. I'm surprised she didnt mention it
Uhm I have to disagree with Dionne. Dionne is the kind of artist that is very comfortable with what she does. She only wants to sing in that genre. Which is great and that is why people love her. Streisand is not somebody who likes to do one same thing over and over again. She love to challenge herself, doing many types of stuff from different type of movies, acting, producing, etc. And people love her for that. Hey, she didn't became the biggest selling female artist from that era by just being complacent and doing one thing. 🤷. She was a pioneer.
Judging by the ANGRY comments here, looks like queen Dionne has upset the white gays.
And to that, I say many thanks!!😂😂
Homophobic much? Stereotype much? Evidently you must have been one of Warwick’s “psychics” on Psychic Network since you think that pro Streisand comments are all white gays. Grow up!!
Most singers are jealous of Streisand because she is a renaissance woman. They can't handle her genius so try to minimize her every chance they can get.
To the contrary. Only Dionne Warwick has bashed Barbra Streisand this publicly, and that too in her old age. It is almost impossible to identify a vocalist who "minimizes her" (in your words), The grand dames--Ella, Judy and Liza, Doris, Julie London, Julie Andrews, Aretha, Bette, Gladys, Cher, Patti, Karen C, Dolly, Olivia, Diana--are all on record for having praised her talent. The younger ones--Whitney, Cyndi, Madonna, Kylie, Sinead, Mariah, Celine, Mary J Blige, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Ariana, amongst so many others--have declared their awe and regard of her . Let's not even start with the prima donnas of opera and the belles of Broadway. The list goes on. It's truly only Dionne.
Barbra, Dionne and Donna and all queen.
i do feel Dionne is bitter she’s not as revered as some of the other legends. she even said beyoncé wouldn’t be legendary like okay miss warwick let’s get you to bed.
Dionne always looks like she is on something in interviews?
dionne warwick is a shady legend
No. She’s just shady.
Both her and aretha
Was she disco?
Pure class.
Shane G pure bitch. How dare she trash Barbra Streisand like this. She has no talent compared to Streisand
@@larsbhm2745 Oh stop, she stated her opinion. I disagree with her on that. I am huge Barbra fan and have almost all her albums on LP and cassette. They both are very talented.
I have always loved Dionne, but I just lost some respect for her. She comments " a lady named Donna Summers...a dear, dear friend". Her name was Donna Summer, there has never been an "s" at the end of her name. A true friend, or fan would ever say "Summers". People used to get her name wrong because of the Bionic Woman, Jaime Sommers (aka Lindsay Wagner, who was popular around the time Donna first came into the public eye. The Streisand bashing is a bit unprofessional as well. I will just attribute her slights to old age. She is a legend, and can pretty much say anything she wants at this point. LOL!
Lol y'all commenter always up in your feelings she did not bash her she told the truth
STHU let's see what you when you're 80. What a tool!🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😚
@@xavierdh2000The truth is that Streisand has more talent in her little finger than Warwick could ever dream about. That’s where the shade comes from. Jealousy.
Dionne who? One of the reasons her star has faded is because she never changed with the times. She was big in the 1960's w/Bacharach-David tunes and then Barry might have given her a bit of a resurge late 70's early 80's, but largely Ms. Warwick is irrelevant, where as Barbra continues on today with number one albums. Perhaps she should learn to pronounce he dear dear friends name rather than cast shade that she herself has lived in for years. She never (really) achieved even near the fame that gobbled up Whitney her blood relative. Perhaps rather than run her mouth about others she should have been in places to help the ones who needed her the most. Was she - NO!!!
Calm down. ;) There's no point being angry at her for speaking this way about Streisand. She is obviously wrong but it's her opinion. This journalist should have told her that. I absolutely agree with you that she is irrelevant while Barbra keeps recording great albums (Walls).
@@patricedecourcy4505 No I won't be told by you to calm down. Dionne has always been shady and that's simply fact! I have every right to express an opinion as you did hitting me back, so just go away or troll someone else.
@@alariclang7690 :) I was actually nice to you while you have some anger issues as I can see. Good luck.
@@patricedecourcy4505 I stand by both my comments... anger/shmanger.. LMAO
Beautiful silver hair
100% on all counts Miss Warwick.. Donna Summer WAS like the atom bomb you had to be there... And yes Barbra Streisand was cashing in on Donna's co-tales at the time.. you got to shine your on light right Dionne? I love you
You think Streisand didn't shine her own light? Listen to her Guilty album.
@@patricedecourcy4505 I like Barbara don't get me wrong but she does seem to do duets with whoever's hot at the time
@@hoagymapleton2206 Actually Streisand mostly recorded with musicians who were way less hot than her. The duet with Donna was recorded soon before Streisand's biggest success - Guilty.
@@patricedecourcy4505so you're coming from camp Barbara I'm coming from camp Donna.. have a good weekend
Love At First Sight was disco enough.
Yt people always gotta try to jump in on Black Peoples platforms!!! Dionne is sooooooo right on this Disco is Absolutely Ms Donna Summers complete Lane Who fuck else can we say owned Disco like she created? NO One!!! Thank you Ms Warwick periodddddd 👑The Queen🎶 💖🙏🏽✨Actually no shade just plain raw shady truth periodddddd!!!✨🙏🏽✨
She clearly thinks she was "above" doing Disco, but had no issues hawking the "Psychic Friends Network" and embarrassing herself on "celebrity Apprentice". I'm sorry she has zero class.
Wow bitter are we....doubt Barbra cares
I can see why Dionne and Aretha butt heads. The shade…
.. witches and Warlocks
I'm sure Barbra is losing sleep over your taste in music. Sorry, but Dionne has always been arrogant and is jealous that Barbra can sing almost any genre of music and she can't.
Bullshit! Lol
Chile bye
Y’all not used to these artist telling the truth
You don't know what you are talking about. Dionne ain't never been jealous of nobody. She is a salty Sagittarius and she don't take no sh#t. She speaks her mind. Ask Donald Trump. You are so use to people blowing smoke you can't handle straight-talk.
True dat.
Barbra is the voice of a generation with more international fame and success than Dionne ever achieved. Dionne is a has-been who's always been jealous of Barbra's success.
You're joking, right?
Sorry but Barbara is talented but disco was not her calling plain and simple.
Dionne was a legend in her time very graceful classy lady although she’s right Barbra should have stayed in her lane with that one
And let Donna do it by herself just my opinion
Obviously, the millions of people who made "Enough is Enough" as well as "The Main Event" smash hits disagree with Dionne. As for Barbara Streisand...she has had major success in several musical genres unlike Dionne, who for the most part is limited to mainstream Pop and at one point had to resort to fronting "The Psychic Network" scam in the Eighties. I agree, there's jealousy there.
Easy Barbara knew that she was no match for and would've been out sung & out diva'd by Donna that's why it never happened Barb never sang ,made mention of the song or Donna till after Donna died & it was awful!
