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. 🙂

I don't know why it hasn't gone viral. Maybe because it's less surprising that Bey had to repeat her performance than it is for Babs to criticise a very successful Oscar nominated movie that she had already praised. Especially when her main issue is over originality.

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

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

Rotten Tomatoes 36% 🙂 (Wow, I had no idea.)

CRITICS CONSENSUS
A lack of memorable music, chemistry between its leads, and an overlong runtime prompts this modish iteration of A Star is Born to fizzle out quickly.

I still can't get over of this classless interview. It's so weird

It's sad but so many LEGENDS become so bitter and threatened by younger talents and I'll never understand it...like...you have DECADES of experience, accolades, etc and you resort to shading younger artists because you feel you did something better or before them? Ugh...its not becoming of someone as classy as Barbara...

Its my hometown newspaper that started out in the 1850s. They used to just cover San Jose but now cover all of CA with a focus on the Bay Area.

Babs is right, tho :coffee: The remake is not that original. I think the music is what made it amazing.

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.
