Barry Manilow, Rosie O'Donnell Sing Duet on Upcoming Album

You people are STUPID!!!!!! Just because there is an artist you do not like on the cd doesn't mean that you boycott the whole darn thing! oing so just shows that you aren't a true fan at all. I LOVE Manilow and even IF I turn out not liking one song in there, I still would get it because he is an awesome artist. I don't let one person I may dislike affect my life and stop me from anything; why let an artist I may not enjoy stop me from buying my idol's cd? Just skip the song. no biggie.

YOU GO BARRY! NOTHING CAN BRING YOU DOWN. F*** THE REST!

Barry! What are you doing with your life..don't do it.

I saw Barry and Rosie sing together on TV not long ago. I think Rosie can sing off key when she wants. Sing on key when she wants. She certainly has a powerful voice. The man "who really did write the songs" and sing them to perfection for us for all time, would not put anything unpleasant
in his album. I bet it's really gonna sound good!

Can i just say that i have never heard or read so much negativity on
one subject.i`m not sure how many of you are fans of Barry or it`s
just a case of not liking Rosie O`Donnell or both!. You are all entitled to
your opinions but, i can`t believe that all this is being said
without actually hearing the track. Now, i`m from the UK, and i know
of Rosie O`Donnell. I remember her singing Strangers in the Night
with Barry (i did think "what on earth!"and i did think that she
sounded like a goose farting in the fog! LOL)) but it was done in a
comedy style. Obviously some of you don`t agree with her
opinions(whatever they may be), and that is fine, but she`s not on
the cd to make a political stand, she`s singing Don`t Go Breaking My
Heart for gods sake!and as far as i know, there isn`t any political
undertones in that song!!LOL. And lets face it, it was a bit of a
novelty song, so this will be the fun element on the cd.Barry likes
fun, he`s always said "Have fun with your life! Do what YOU want to
do!" I mean if you are going to hate it that much, use your skip
button. Also i can`t believe that some fans are saying that they
won`t buy the cd just because she`s on it, once again, their choice,
but come on!! one song that you don`t even have to listen to!!!To be
honest, Barry has said that he likes it that his music makes people
have strong opinions. Maybe it isn`t the best choice he`s made, i
don`t know, but i sure as hell won`t judge it til i hear it. I
remember he did a duet with Cilla Black called You`ll Never Walk
Alone.Now, i`m not keen on her, plus i don`t like her singing voice,
but i listened to it and i have to say it is one of my faves. Barry
has a knack of making even the oddest voice sound good.You say that
it`s a bad choice for his career, but he`s been in the business for
30 years or so and he`s still here,bigger and better than ever!! so that says something. Me,
personally, i`m looking forward to the release of the cd from dear
old Bazza.I`m just greatful that he`s still recording music for us. I
remember that Barry`s Grandpa use to say to his young Grandson "Be
nice!" never a truer word said, and he`s stuck by that! And if i may
use what he said in a concert from 2004 "it`s enough already! The
separation and the dividedness, we are all, ONE people, living in one
great nation, with ONE VOICE! I know that when he said that, that it related to the US, but
those lines also span the globe and make a lot of sense.All i can say
is.......bring on the 70`s cd!!:O)I`ll be with Bazza FOREVER AND A DAY!!:O)

I've been a true FANILOW since the beginning.I was shocked when I heard that ,our, Barry and Rosie have song this duet! That was a real bad chose and step ,into Manilow's part and Arista's, to sing with her. I see Melissa Manchester. But,Rosie? Don't get me sick. With Rosie being in the dumpster and making her daughter look like she is in combat. She HAS flipped out. Barry has such a good head on his shoulders. At that moment, they must have gone on vacation through this chose, his shoulders. Plus, adding another Beatle song. He already had one of thiers in the 60's CD. SNAP OUT OF IT, BARRY!!

Oh Jilly #101- for Pete's sakes...who said that Rosie is "right on" as far as her views are? I never said that-nor did many people. She has a microphone and a big mouth-not all of us have those things so we can't express our opinions as LOUDLY and as OFTEN as she can and does! She thinks that if she talks louder it will make people believe her! I don't. She supports terrorists-feels sorry for them in fact. For Heaven's sakes how in the world can you feel sorry for them? Just because YOU feel the same as Rosie, doesn't mean that we all do. Frankly, I'm sick of her everywhere and all she does is cause trouble. There are people who have done more good and showing their beliefs by actions and soft spokeness-like Princess Diana, for one...Mother Theresa, for another....so why doesn't she just run for office if she thinks it's all corrupt? Why doesn't she just put her money where her big mouth is? Unless you have walked a mile in another man's or woman's shoes, you have no clue what you're talking about-and that goes for Rosie.

I've actually heard Rosie sing and she can't sing. She had a Christmas cd that Barry was on a few years ago. I've been a Manilow fan for over 30 years and I can't believe he'd do this. She just has such a negative image and he doesn't need someone like this on his cd. The world is sick and tired of Rosie and her opinions-and really who cares what her opinions are? Not me!
I never let anyone dub my Manilow cds, but this one....sure. I wouldn't pay for this. Besides, it's time Clive let Barry start writing his own stuff and quit trying to make money off him by making him do all these cover cds. He's such a legend, I can't understand why he'd let Clive dominate his music. I certainly hope we're not going to get an 80's cover cd too-geezz...

Noreen,
If you love Barry Manilow, you must at least trust him to make the right decisions for his career. He's never made a big blunder yet, and I doubt he will. I trust in him and his choices.

It really WILL be over when the fat lady sings !!!!!!
