Barry Manilow, Rosie O'Donnell Sing Duet on Upcoming Album
Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, George Jones and Tammy Wynette, Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway -- it's time to unsheathe that golden chisel and etch one more pair of names onto the monument commemorating the greatest male-female duos in the annals of popular music. For on Tuesday, the 18th of September, 2007 Anno Domini, the names Barry Manilow and Rosie O'Donnell will resonate in the air along with their new duet on the Elton John/Kiki Dee song 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart.'
This soon-to-be-a-classic take, as well as cover renditions of many more of the greatest songs of the Seventies, will appear on Manilow's aptly titled 'Greatest Songs of the Seventies' double disc. Other songs on Disc One, sadly, will be lacking that special Rosie vocal touch but will include Manilow-ized versions of the Beatles' 'The Long and Winding Road,' Simon & Garfunkel's 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' and Christopher Cross' 'Sailing.' A gentle reminder: No Rosie on any of those tracks. Disc Two will feature stripped-down, acoustic versions of Manilow classics like 'Mandy,' 'Could It Be Magic?' and 'Copacabana.' Need it be pointed out that "stripped down" means without any Rosie?

Jordona I couldn't have said it better myself! There is an album I wouldn't buy...
Sandraat 7-10-2007
I agree with Jordona - Rosie and Barry Manilow, you have got to be kidding. I like Barry Manilow but wouldn't spend my money on the CD if I knew Rosie was on there too. I don't think Rosie even knows how to sing, she probably sounds like a sick animal. Barry why would you do this ??????
Tookiat 7-10-2007
You have got to be kidding me! Barry have you lost your mind. Are we ever going to be rid of Rosie? I am so sick and tired of hearing about her.

Rosie is a BIG FAT PIG!

Maybe if she did that hanging upside down thing she'd sound like something other than a wate buffalo in heat.

RONat 7-11-2007

Now i've seen everything!!! I guess everyone should become a loud-mouthed, mean-spirited, human being-hating, closed-minded lesbian so we all can become celebs and sing with Barry Manilow ( I WILL NOT buy another of his albums) and go on cruises, and just make tons of money. What an embarassment to us all.

Why in the hell would Manilow need to put Rosie on vinyl? Rosie's been in so much negative news lately that she's not an asset to anyone's career. Maybe she needs the money to keep up her 4 chins and excess weight around the middle.

Rosie is one ugly man!

What's the big deal!!! Musicians ask there friends to appear in their records all the time. Barry has been around a long time and I'm sure he had some idea of how Rosie sounded. He's not going to throw away his album. But people get a kick of bad mouthing Rosie. Sandra states that she doesn't THINK Rosie can sing. She doesn't know and Robert has to resort to NAME CALLING. Rosie has her faults but being opinionated is her right and I'm sorry Robert but most people don't look like movie stars. Maybe you do but most people do not.

That's because one of the legends ate her twinkies.........
(if you don't get it, keep thinking, it will come to you)

And how was adding Rosie supposed to help record sales? Rosie is a deathwish on anything. No one can handle her constant negativity and beating down of people she is jealous of. She needs to go home and git DOWN. ; )

rosie CAN sing! what i'm waiting (slightly impatiently, tho! :p) for, is for her to get back on broadway. it's in NYC, so she won't have to worry about distrupting her family life. and she doesn't have to do a long stint, either. c'mon rosie, what d'ya say!? :)

Rosie is far above Elizabeth and Donald morally and mentally. You nasty people downing her DO NOT have the facts. You just sound STUPID.
Pat Johnsonat 7-11-2007
I have every record/tape Barry has made plus numerous copies of all his t.v. shows etc....HOWEVER, I will not buy his tape with Rosie on it,
Barry really let his fans/admirers down.
I think Rosie is very sick and people should watch how she behaves. It seems she is out of control.Dressing her little girl like a terrorist is an indication of how ill she is. Her girlfriend,Kelly should be very careful.
coachmom30at 7-11-2007
I think if I hear Rosie's name one more time I'm going to throw up! Since when is being gay a criteria for being an authority on everything from
A to Z (we've already witnessed her remarkable child-rearing and political skills....lol) Rosie is as phoney as they come. When will she stop staying up nights thinking of ways to call attention to herself! ENOUGH ALREADY....we know who you are and we don't care!
Cindyat 7-11-2007
I am a FANILOW but this will be the only Barry CD or album or 8 track etc. that I will not own!
Come on Barry your better than that....Rosie is pure white trash that is need of a burning!
