“My Man” from Funny Girl (1968)

did you know that Barbra specifically requested to sing this song live during filming so that she could properly caption the emotion? what a pro. what a sensational performer.

Its crazy how people deemed her unattractive!! She is soo stunning to me

[Ciclopea]

She made quite a statement, yes she can sing, but she sure as hell can act too and do both brilliantly. Legend.

Still one of the greatest endings of a musical. I cried my eyes out the first time I watched it and everytime I see it I get the chills. What an amazing performer is Miss Barbra. A true icon.

That exquisite moment alone won her the Oscar. An actress using the song to express her pain and loss. Her vulnerability was connected to something very real. You feel it with her, as her voice soars. No one recreating the role could ever match that. A truly iconic film moment!

[nickmorrell]

This performance was meant to be mimed like all musicals but she insisted on doing it live ...god she was right. ..still gives me shivers. ..absolutely peerless ...

No matter how many times I watch Funny Girl, I still feel as if I watched it for the very first time ❤️

I love how subtle but how profound her transformation is from where she started. It's not the ugly duckling turned into a swan, it's the ugly duckling SEEING ITSELF as a swan. The way she holds herself, the more delicate make up and hairstyle and jewelery, not because times are changing which is true, but because she doesn't need to hide herself anymore. The color black not because she's grieving for the life she's lost but because black is quiet, and she no longer needs to be loud to make people listen to her. She's a mom now, she knows that this is the greatest act she'll ever perform, nothing that being on stage can ever come close to. That's what makes this moment so moving and why this movie is close to perfection. A stunning song and a fucking stunning woman, wow.

One of the few musical numbers I can actually call electrifying. Mom and I watched ''Funny Girl'' maybe 6 months after my father passed away, and mom just lowered her face into her hands and started sobbing during this scene. My heart broke.and I consoled her and got emotional myself.. I knew she was still in pain over dad, plus, he and Omar Sharif resembled each other.

how to be sad crying singing acting and beautiful at same time

[xaviotesharris]

This closing scene of the movie clinched her Oscar win. For all the other reasons the Academy loved it, the Academy has always prized an ability to cry actual tears, on camera. These days, it's almost a lost part of the art of acting.

I used to get goosebumps still as a kid watching this finale.Barbra still the greatest of them all xxx

[lizdouglas]

Her voice went beyond the heavens. This song brings tears to my eyes. Barbra belted it out in Funny Girl in My Man.
That's beauty.

[redouteshabby]

Still a jaw dropping performance. Those beautiful eyes, that voice. One of the best movies of all time!

I used to sing this song at the top of my voice when I was 14 years old, Barbra you are incredible love you I used to think you were my mother when I was young, I was adopted when I was 9 days old, I wished you were my mom . I love singing I still do. You were and will always be my idol. God Bless you Barbra you have the most unique voice I have ever heard my my life.. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

There will never be such a perfect female vocalist like one special natural talented gal.

[jaysparc]

One of the finest instruments ever, in the hands of a musical genius.

[niletoo]
