With Lea Michele performing on this week's episode of Glee a heart-wrenching performance of Barbra Streisand’s "Papa, Can You Hear Me" from Yentl, broadway.com asked readers what other song from Streisand's extensive career they would like Michele to tackle next.
"People"!
Earning 22% of votes, the Jule Styne and Bob Merrill track appeared in both the original 1964 Broadway production of Funny Girl and its subsequent 1968 film which won Streisand the first of her two Oscars.
The number two spot went to another notable Funny Girl number, "I'm the Greatest Star." The song pulled in 19% of votes. Barbra's rendition of Jerry Herman's "Before the Parade Passes By" marched into third place with 13% of votes. Streisand sang the song, originally performed on Broadway by Carol Channing, as Dolly Levi in the 1969 film version of Hello, Dolly!
