Streisand is an amazing singer...you don't have to like her music to know that...but I never listen to her talk.
Sean Penn...self righteous liberal douchebag...one hell of an actor.
The problem with most of these people is that they think because they are famous, their opinion should count more.
Movie stars- make movies. Entertain me. I do not give one single fuck about your opinions.
Singers- Sing. Entertain me. I do not give one single fuck about your opinions.
Why is this concept so hard?
I admit babs can carry a tune and has a 3 octave vocal range, I just really hate her style, inflection and voice itself. I don't think it's enough to overcome her other "issues". I think there are other female vocalists who do/did it better - Ann Wilson, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion.
Anywho....you are 100% correct in your assessment though. They think their opinion is just better than yours. It isn't.
This is also why I like Billy Joel. Although I know he supports more liberal ideas and candidates, he does it in a more professional manner and knows that he is paid to sing at a concert:
Although Joel has donated money to Democratic candidates running for office, he has never publicly affiliated himself with the Democratic Party. Joel has said about musicians endorsing political candidates, "People who pay for your tickets, I don't think they want to hear who you're going to vote for and how you think they should vote."
Kudos to him.
