Barbra Streisand

 

Her music and her movies were introduced to me by my father. She owns a special voice that makes the songs even more special. She turned producer and director of her films, and made a beautiful job with "The Prince of Tides". Regarding her songs, "Pure Imagination", sung in duet with Seth MacFarlane, is a sample of her usual and lovely performance.

Pure Imagination
(original lyrics, Barbra Streisand in duet with Seth MacFarlane)
Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to see magic lands
Close your eyes and you will see one
Want to be a dreamer, be one
Anytime you please and please save me one

There is no
Place to go
To compare with your imagination
So go there
To be free
If you truly wish to be

I used to hear a simple song That was until you came along Now in its place is something new I hear it when I look at you With simple songs, I wanted more Perfection is so quick to bore You are my beautiful, by far Our flaws are who we really are I used to hear a simple song That was until you came along You took my broken melody And now, I hear a symphony And now, I hear A symphony https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQ50-gSAWGg

Existe algo mais brega do que um rico roubando ? Algo mais chique do que um pobre honesto ?

Eu não tenho pena de quem faz esquemas contra a nação, contra o cidadão Eu tenho pena da mãe, do pai, que está agora no hospital público implorando por atendimento digno Tenho pena dos doentes que penam por exames e diagnósticos rápidos na rede pública de saúde  Tenho pena das crianças que crescem abandonadas, por falta de creche, de escola, de professores bem pagos Tenho pena dos policiais e dos cidadãos alvejados pelo crime organizado e narcotráfico Tenho pena das crianças mortas por bala perdida Tenho pena de tanta coisa trágica, tudo resultante da corrupção endêmica, dos atos de propina em países, onde apesar de existirem riquezas, as leis propositalmente frágeis e a má fé de agentes da própria Justiça, negam ou relaxam a punição exemplar aos bandidos Isso sim é tristeza ... bandido não se entristece, na verdade, bandido se frustra por te sido pego

BETTE DAVIS and her 'Employment Wanted' Ad

Image
  Bette was critically acclaimed, had a massive talent and shined in several lead roles on the big screen. She faced the ageism and sexism of Hollywood and was struggled to find work because the entertainment industry of Hollywood did not look to cast her. In 1962, Bette was above age 50, was blown off by her agent and took out a newspaper advertisement seeking for employment in Hollywood. There were people who saw it as desperate. Other people pointed it out as a marketing strategy of her.  I see it at an opposite angle, it shows me  how big enough was her self-esteem, how confident of her talent she was, and did not care to rumour or disapprovals around. Behind that, she was calling out Hollywood for brushing her talent aside.  Bette took out the ad in between the time "What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?" filmed and before it was released. At that moment, none thought the film would be as successful as it ended up being.
