....So, did anyone happen to notice this unusual coincedence:
--------------------------------------------------------------- Streisand too sick to sing at Grammy Awards February 24, 1998 Web posted at: 8:08 p.m. EST (0108 GMT)
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Barbra Streisand, who did not sing at the 1997 Academy Awards becaue of an apparent snub of her film, will miss a second major awards show -- Wednesday's Grammys -- because of the flu, her publicists said Tuesday.
A statement from Guttman Associates said Streisand had flu and fever and was disappointed that she would not be able to sing a duet with Celine Dion at the music industry awards in New York.

"Flu" my ass. It's just her agent covering up the fact that Robert Smith of the Cure - who's a superior vocalist in *anyone's* opinion - kicked her offensive ass off the planet.
