No; its truth is universal. Believe it.
I'm no big fan of Barbra Streisand, and not just because of her politics. But I will tell you this -- I would rather listen to her heartfelt, musical version of "The Way We Were" from this year's Oscars twenty times than to Jennifer Hudson's overwrought, insincere, look-at-me-how-'bout-them-pipes? version of "And I Am Telling You I Am Not Going" from the same broadcast ever again. When she'd finally, finally concluded her whooping finish, I had to look away. I was embarrassed at her lack of musicianship, and even more embarrassed that Hollywood royalty felt they had to stand up and cheer for that mess. Surely there were some talents in that audience who knew the essential fraudulence of that performance.

Knowing how to sing is one thing. Today's divas know how to do that. Their talent is undeniable.
They would be doing themselves, listeners, and music a big favor if they would concentrate on learning to sing songs.

You may not want Babs as Secretary of Health & Human Services, but the woman knows her way around a song. For all her immense gifts, Jennifer Hudson needs to calm down, put on a Julie London album, and have a sandwich or something.
