'We Are the World' Barbra Streisand Photoshop mystery solved!

The release of a photo including Barbra Streisand taken during the recording of the "We Are the World" remake to benefit Haiti has caused a few Hollywood insiders to whisper that dirty little word, "Photoshop."

The photo [seen above] shows Babs singing while standing next to Usher, Toni Braxton, Wyclef Jean, etc. But she's the only one facing the camera and her head looks slightly larger than those around, or even in front of her.

Is this a case of Where's Barbra? 

No, according to Showbiz 411 blogger Roger Friedman, who was in the studio during the session.

"Barbra came in and sang her solos in a booth. Then she went out and sang the chorus with the group." 

He explained that it's very hard to get a photo of everyone looking good in a group shot. 

"Plus, they were all moving and singing and clapping while the photos were taken," he tells The Dish Rag, adding that he selected a photo featuring Babs prominently because "It's so unusual to see a photo of Barbra singing with other people."

Despite the well-established fact that Barbra likes to control her image and how she is lit and photographed, Friedman says, "She controlled nothing."

Besides, you can see more photos on WireImage.com and they can't ALL be Photoshopped.

I was also inquiring regarding B. Streisand. I read what you said, however last night while I was watching the taping during the Olympics, Streisand was not in the group singing.


Please comment. Personally, I don't think she did the group taping.

Why split hairs? Why make a storm in a teacup? Why should we forget about this increadible feat? The important thing is that this group of marvelous singers have taken to sing "We Are the World Again" to benefit Haiti. How wonderfully Michael Jackson has been commemorated in that brief showing of the scene in the original recording! Wow! Memories! This goes to say that the leagcy Michael and Lionel have left us keeps on living and WE ARE STILL THE WORLD and WE ARE STILL THE CHILDREN. Let us really be, enjoy this undertaking, and appreciate it.

Usher is facing the same direction as Barbra also.

I was at this recording session for over EIGHT hours with everyone and can assure you Barbra was there as well the entire time. She is warm and charming. We were all exhausted and at 68 years old (I KNOW - she looks great!), she held up better than almost anyone else! It was an amazing day for sure. By the way, videos of this group session are all over YouTube now, so go look if you still think photos have been photoshopped.
