Barbra Streisand is set to snub an Australian tour in favour of neighbouring New Zealand - because she is still upset by the country's criticism of a concert seven years ago.The diva was criticised by Australian fans for using an autocue to remember the stage banter in between singing tracks during her Timeless tour in 2000.Streisand was also upset when it rained during her outdoor show in Sydney.The experiences have thrown her 2008 tour plans into jeopardy and now the star is opting to perform in New Zealand.A source says, "She felt misunderstood and her efforts to reach out to audiences were not fully appreciated."But tour promoter Andrew McManus says "nothing is definite".He adds, "(Streisand's management) said she wants to play markets she did not perform on her last tour. Hence New Zealand this time and not Australia".0Comments | Be the first to comment!
