Steisand Soaring Vocals are magic by Daniel C. Lynch (San Francisco) 5 Stars
April 18, 2008
Streisand Soars on fantastic vocals. This album came out in 1984 after Yentle the Previous year. It is pure Streisand Magic. It has an upbeat song Emotion with a classy video with Roger Daltry as Babs love interest. a Great duet with Kim Carnes. THe lovely Clear Sailing hits an emotional note since it is a song my ex and I shared as one of ours. Barbra's voice is a gift from heaven and any album of hers is worth a listen. Enjoy!

"Emotion" album by Barbra Streisand by Elizabeth (Carmel, CA) 5 Stars
January 15, 2008
In my opinion, this was one of Barbra's best albums. Years ago I wore out the cassette tape - happiness is being able to hear these great songs and relive the memories that go with them.

Creative Perfection by L. Stuby (USA) 5 Stars
November 25, 2007
As always Barbra can sing anything and make it sound like a masterpiece and this CD is truly magnificent - I burnt out my first copy of the cassette and now need to get this on CD - there are just so many I need - I'll eventually have the entire Streisand collection! Only Streisand can bridge the genertions - whatever the genre of the music, she makes it uniquely hers and does it with class, style and creativity! She makes each and every song come from the heart and the soul! The one and only superstar - Barbra Streisand!

I have mixed "emotions" by R. Graff (South Windsor, CT United States)  3 Stars
October 29, 2007
Released in 1984, this album came at a point where Barbra Streisand's career was thriving more than ever. This came after Guilty, perhaps her greatest pop album, her surprising best-seller Memories, and of course the positive reaction to the Yentl project, so it had a good chance of being a huge success as well. Unfortunately, this did not match the success of any of her other 80s projects up to that point.
To this day, many critics and fans alike consider Emotion Barbra's worst album. While I agree that this is far from her best, there are still plenty of shining moments for Barbra here. The title track is perhaps the most fun of all her recordings, and one of the few that even non-fans may enjoy, "Heart Don't Change My Mind" is a very catchy and well-sung ballad, "Make No Mistake, He's Mine" is a surprisingly good duet with then-fading star Kim Carnes, and "Here We Are At Last," written by Barbra and her then-boyfriend Richard Baskin, has a quiet sincerity to it.
That being said, this album is maligned for a reason. For one thing, the album jumps around to the point that there's no consistency, and the end result feels too unfocused. But more detrimental to it all is that Barbra, who is known for feeling the lyrics to a song and making it her own, just doesn't seem to be willing to make these songs hers. Even listening to a lot of them, you can picture other artists singing them, and perhaps even doing it better. Just a few examples: "Heart Don't Change My Mind" sounds like it was meant to be a ballad for Aretha Franklin, "Time Machine" could have been a killer dance track for Chaka Khan, "Make No Mistake He's Mine" sounds like a Carole King performance, and "Here We Are At Last" would have sounded great on an Anita Baker album.
Overall, while this album is not a classic, there are enough high points to make it an okay listen. However, it should be bought more for the curiosity factor than the want for a great Streisand album.
