Streisand Effect: ASIB soundtrack rises WW, praise pours.

[Phantomhive 2,030]

I mean the work speaks for itself, that's why people were quick to defend it. What's funny about this is that not only did she revitalize interest in the movie but she also got people to see through the pretentiousness and the senselessness of her statements and got beyonce dragged in the process too

Thanks for the free promo, Babs

This old-school nasty mean-girl diva culture has no place in our current culture, where toxicity is out and kindness is in. Cher and Mariah have learned this, Barbra and Madonna have not, unfortunately.

But I thought the narrative here was that Barbra was right with her opinion?

[Runway 27,876]

She should have sat down and ate her food

[Anderson123 38,415]

Lmfaooo this is like the first time the Karens/soccer moms of Facebook are on Gaga's side omg times have really changed.

Barbra didn't criticize on it but anyway...

Her 1976 version is actually the poorest-received remake among all 4 ASIB movies.

Great. Now Shalloherewegoagain is going to go number 1 again and Gaga won't release Babylate Haus Labs as a single 

But she will release Shallow (Haus Labs Mix) instead

Let's all take the time to relish this moment

If you listen to her entire quote she is right with her opinion in that more diversity and originality, even inside of a remake, would have been better. However, the way she phrased it and the way beyhive twitter accounts used it to fuel hate towards Gaga has led us to where we are now. They all should have just sat there and minded their business but since they couldn't they can enjoy the general public dragging their favs and praising Gaga because it's what she deserves

She did but not necessarily criticism on Gagz and Bradley but rather on the whole movie concept itself.

 

She probably meant well but such kind of statement will inevitably cause a bad PR to Gaga and Bradley indirectly, especially she mentioned other stars

I can't imagine being invited to set, to bask in the praise and glory from Gaga and Bradley... And then to quibble about it a few years later. 

Actually, Barbra said the exact same thing in an interview with Variety in FEB 2018, BEFORE the movie came out. 🙂 She did watch Gaga and Bradley shoot the movie in 2017, she said it's good.

Barbra said in both interviews that a remake with a MULTIRACIAL cast (Beyoncé and Will Smith) and RAP music would be very different from her version - not that it would be better than Gaga and Bradley's version.

Last year, she revisited her past when she was invited to the set of Bradley Cooper’s “A Star Is Born.” She watched a few scenes being shot, including ones where Lady Gaga plays her former character. “It’s good,” says Streisand. “I don’t want to talk about it because I don’t want to spook it. I can’t believe that was 40-some years ago. I think he did a wonderful job with her.” 

Originally, Beyoncé had been in talks for the Streisand role. “I thought when it was going to be done it was going to be very different and have a MULTIRACIAL cast, and the music was going to be RAP,” she says. “But it’s more like the movie I made.” - Variety, Feb 2018

"That's really interesting, really make it different again, different kind of music, INTEGRATED actors, I thought [Will Smith and Beyoncé] was a great idea." - Project TV interview, 2021

(Integrated actors = minority actors)

Barbra actually dragged Beyoncé in the Project interview for her Kennedy Center Honors performance. Wonder why that didn't make the news. 🙂

love Bey but her fanbase made the interview go viral to get Gaga dragged...

you reap what you sow  

They made the interview go viral?? Barbra DRAGGED Beyoncé (for her 2008 Kennedy Center Honors performance) in the same interview (at 4:05). 🙂 Beyoncé had to sing the song twice, she didn't think the first take was good enough. 

Streisand's first eyebrow-raising answer came when Wilkinson asked about the tribute Beyonce had performed when Streisand received her Kennedy Centre honour in 2008.

Wilkinson set Streisand up to offer a gushing compliment about Beyonce's "magical" rendition of her song The Way We Were, asking the entertainment legend: "Was that as powerful as it looked?"

"Well, she first sang it once, and I didn't think it was good enough, for her. I always think like a director, and I want the best for my actors and singers. I know she DID IT OVER, and she did it beautifully the second time," she revealed.

Wilkinson asked if Beyonce knew Streisand didn't think the first take of the performance was up to scratch.

"I think she knew it. I think she was the one who actually asked to do it over." 

To be fair, Barbra said Will Smith and Beyoncé's version (with minority actors and rap music) would have been very different from her version - not that it would be better than Gaga and Bradley's.
