Remember when the Bradley Cooper and Lady GaGa version of A Star Is Born was about to come out, and the marketing got a big gift when Barbra Streisand gave the particular film her blessing?
Because the cinema icon had been in the most recent, well-known version of the film at typically the time, it was a big deal to have her come away and legitimize the remake. And that she did, telling Billboard just a couple weeks before its release:
“ I haven’t seen the full cut, but it’s very good. Every time that film is made it’s a success. I loved Judy Garland’s version, I like this one a lot, and I liked mine. ”
Well, now it’ s three years later, and Barbra is singing the different tune.

In an interview with The Project over the weekend, she revisited her assessment of the 2018 version.
“ At first, when I heard it was going to be done again, it was supposed to be Will Smith and Beyoncé , and I thought, that’s interesting. Really make this different again, different kind of music, integrated actors, I believed that was a great idea. So I was surprised when I saw how alike it was to the version that We did in 1976. ”
Ooh, is she calling out the new movie for being unoriginal? Shading GaGa and Cooper for being too close in order to the way we were ??
She isn’ t wrong. Cooper’ s edition was the fourth; the original, way back in 1937, has been about an actress trying to be able to make it on the big screen, the 1954 version with Judy Garland was about a Broadway starlet, and Streisand’ s was another change — with her playing a rising pop star while Kris Kristofferson played a bearded, alcoholic, washed up old rocker.
Sound familiar? Yeah, the 2018 version is definitely a lot more like Streisand’ s than hers was to this previous ones. And that’ h something the You Don’ t Bring Me Flowers singer just can’ t get on board with — she even called it “ the wrong idea”! Ouch!

She made her feelings on the subject very clear when the girl added, referencing the new film’ s Oscar nominations and $436 million box office success:
“ I can’t argue with success. I don’t care so much about success as I do originality. ”
Damn! We guess the mirror isn’ t the only thing with two faces! LOVE how gurl just does not give any effs anymore!
