Barbra Streisand is a living musical legend. She has been singing professionally for almost 60 years that started as an opening act at a Bon Soir night club.
Since then, she has been a multi-awarded and multi-nominated Grammy Artist. Plus she has also shown her prowess as an actress, having received multiple nominations and awards in the Academy Awards, Golden Globe Awards, and Tony Awards.
She remains one of the most popular idols of today’s singers and musicians.
So many singers seek to emulate her musical style but only a few singers manage to do that.
One of those singers has only been in the music industry for a couple of years but when she sings, it feels like she’s been in the industry for decades.
That singer is Susan Boyle.
Susan Boyle started her professional music career because of her successful stint at Britain’s Got Talent. She may not have won but it hasn’t stopped her from achieving her musical dreams.
Her debut album, I Dreamed A Dream, has become UK’s best-selling debut album of all time.
And more than that, her debut album reminded listeners of a young Barbra Streisand.
“A woman’s voice I didn’t recognise started singing, in a hauntingly beautiful way, and I thought at first that it was a young Barbra Streisand. Thirty seconds later, I realised to my astonishment that it was Susan Boyle, and this was the first track from her debut album,” Piers Morgan wrote in his column. “‘Oh. My. God,’ I stammered. You’ll read and hear a lot of hype about this record (it’s already at the top of the Amazon charts but doesn’t get released until the end of November) but take it from me – this little 48-year-old lady from a tiny Scottish village is going to stun the world with what she is recording.”
Piers Morgan was one of the three judges, along with Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden, who were shocked when Susan Boyle belted out the first notes during her BGT audition.
“She is the greatest break-out star from any talent show in the world, and the ultimate example of someone who dreamed a dream and finally got to realise it. ‘If I played some small part in her amazing success then that makes me very happy’,” Piers shared with Metro News.
Susan Boyle and Barbra Streisand have not performed a duet together but that has not stopped their fans from pretending they do.
In this video, their fans have edited the Susan and Barbra’s videos and synced their performance of Memory from the musical, CATS.
The video opens with Barbra Streisand starting off the “duet” with a majestic orchestra backing her. A minute later, Susan Boyle joins the duet with her own rendition of the legendary song.
While the “duet” may not have happened yet, viewers are still over the moon with this video.
“So powerful. Susan you are the one. You & Barbara are so awesome!” Helena T commented.
Those who watched the video loved it so much.
“Now this is a dream come true for anyone. Singing with Barbara Streisand. Loved it and so happy for Susan Boyle. Susan you sing like an angel,” Von Cody said.
Here’s hoping this video will reach Barbra Streisand and Susan Boyle and a real life duet together will happen for them.
Be mesmerized by Barbra and Susan’s duet and watch the wonderfully edited video below to make it happen.
