Barbra Streisand andCeline Dionare two musical greats, albeit from different generations.
There is no doubt that the “Hello Dolly!”
actor set the stage for generations of female musician-actors to follow.
The love ballad was their first and only collaboration.
It was up to Dion to capture the audience all on her own.
Yes, her representative said she was ill. One title she doesn’t approve of?
She claims that the image the public has of her is very different from who she actually is.
“I’m not a diva.
I don’t think so,” she toldThe Today Show.
“I’m very down-to-earth.”
When it comes to embracing the diva title, Celine Dion is more accepting.
During the iconic concert, Dion famously hijacked Franklin’s gospel solo during the show’s finale.
This was no doubt its own battle of the divas.
Thankfully, Celine Dion is not intimidated by Streisand’s strong sense of self.
In fact, she has nothing but praise for the Hollywood legend.
She wasn’t feeling her best, and she wanted to give her best.
I totally understand that.
It happens to me; it happens to all of us."
“Some people say that being a diva isn’t such a good thing.
Others say it is,” Dion said.
