Re: STREISAND'S "WHAT MATTERS MOST" ALBUM DEBUTS IN BILLBOARD TOP 10, HER 31st TOP 10 CHARTING, MOVING HER PAST THE BEATLES INTO THIRD PLACE IN THAT HONOR.

Barbra, Barbra, Beautiful Wondrous Talented Barbra!

Congratulations on your #4 Billboard debut with your What Matters Most album. Like many others on this site, I also have listened to this album every single day since it was released and discover new moments which move me and thrill me each time. The voice ... so perfected and nuanced over decades and still haunting and intimate. To hear the breath before each line ... the phrasing of words in unexpected and unusual ways. It still brings goosebumps. What is it about that voice that sets it so high above all the others? Impossible to pin down but uninhibited passion comes to mind. In a time when singing is either mechanical or simply just loud, here is The Voice back again to entertain us and to remind us that we are experiencing nothing less than the vocal equivalent of Mozart in our time. True genius. Thank you Barbra.
