Barbra Streisand @ MSG, 10.9

For her first New York concert in six years, Barbra Streisand should have left the boys -- popera hunks Il Divo and a George W. Bush impersonator -- at home. They ruined the flow of the show and detracted from what was a gorgeous, skilled performance. Nevertheless, despite the setbacks, Streisand still triumphed.

SETLIST: Funny Girl Overture / Starting Here, Starting Now / Down with Love / The Way We Were / Come Rain or Shine / Ma Premiere Chanson / Evergreen (with Il Divo) / Unchained Melody-Il Divo / Unbreak My Heart-Il Divo / My Way-Il Divo / Don't Rain On My Parade / Funny Girl / The Music That Makes Me Dance / My Man / People / ACT TWO: Passera-Il Divo / Music of the Night (with Il Divo) / When The Sun Comes Out / Carefully Taught/Children Will Listen / Unusual Way / What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life? / Happy Days Are Here Again / Have I Stayed Too Long at the Fair? / Somewhere (with Il Divo) // ENCORE: Don't Rain On My Parade

The person who said IL DIVO
spoiled the show obviously does not know anything about music and needs the hearing tested.
Everybody is voting for them you must be deaf.
