Members Cheap21 Posted September 18, 2007 Members Share Posted September 18, 2007 Barry to Elisabeth: Your "View" is Dangerous Posted Sep 17th 2007 1:16PM by TMZ Staff Filed under: TV, Celebrity Feuds UPDATE: A source tells TMZ that it's not Barry who's writing this song -- in fact, "View" producers pulled the plug on Manilow's performance when his people demanded that he appear on the show without Elisabeth. Manilow has in fact performed on the show twice before -- both last year -- when Hasselbeck's been co-hosting. TMZ has learned that legendary singer Barry Manilow has pulled out of his scheduled appearance on "The View" tomorrow -- because he strongly disagrees with host Elisabeth Hasselbeck's conservative view! Paging Rosie O'Donnell! In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Barry says, "I strongly disagree with her views. I think she's dangerous and offensive. I will not be on the same stage as her." Barry, taking a stand! Manilow is currently on a press tour promoting the release of his new album, "Greatest Songs of the Seventies." A network spokesman had no comment. http://www.tmz.com/2007/09/17/barry-to-eli...erous/#comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted September 18, 2007 Members Share Posted September 18, 2007 Ok - that's a little extreme of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kwing42 Posted September 18, 2007 Members Share Posted September 18, 2007 I am rather surprised. He seems like a very level headed guy and to have him cower from Hasselbeck is kind of childish. If he does not want to speak to people who have different views than him, he better start refusing ticket sales and album sales from those he disagrees with! Very strange and sad.

Members Ryan Posted September 18, 2007 Members Share Posted September 18, 2007 What has America come to? Because he doesn't share the same views as Bitsy, he doesn't want to come on the show? How mature.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane70 Posted September 18, 2007 Members Share Posted September 18, 2007 Well he is good friends with rosey, I think that might have more to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DevotedToAMC Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 He can just easily ignore Bitsy but yea not going on a show over political views is just silly....just do not talk politics with her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kwing42 Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 Just another political stunt....celebreties think we really listen and care what they think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sweet_VeeVee24 Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 Talk about having his little undies in a bunch.... Heaven forbid if he had to sit next to the 'dangerous and offensive' Elizabeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Danni Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 Ry, it's because Ditsy is an uninformed and ignorant shrew who doesn't even take the time to learn about the issues before she mouths off. That and Barry is good friends with Rosie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 I agree...Elizabeth is nothing more than a mouth piece for the Republican Party. I applaud Barry Manilow for his actions. I wouldn't want to be near her either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted September 19, 2007 Members Share Posted September 19, 2007 Hm I'm not on Barry's side on this one. I didn't think his actions were mature at all, even though I don't enjoy Elizabeth's political views at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 Psh. I love Barry. "Could It Be Magic" is the most beautiful song I've ever heard, and anybody who can make music like that doesn't get any flack from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kwing42 Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 How sad that you are not allowed to have an opposite view politcally. Isn't that what this country is all about? Is Barry wrong for his beliefs? Nope. Is Elisabeth wrong for hers? Nope. I love it that there are those who say everyone needs to be treated equally, but yet they refuse to allow or respect that others think differently then them. That makes this a sad sad world. And I am shocked and saddened that there are those who feel people should not be allowed to believe how they want instead of being call ignorant, a mouthpiece and uninformed. That just proves the lack of information that those people actually have. WHy is it ok for ONE side to be a mouthpiece or have values but not the other? Sad people...very sad. But sure, lets have Rosie call our armed forces terrorists and accuse the government of 9-11...because that is really intelligent and respesctful to those who died that day. Glad you are can defend that Barely Manenough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scotty Posted September 21, 2007 Members Share Posted September 21, 2007 Spoken like a true Republican.....I rarely watch The View, mainly because of Elizabeth. I rooted for Rosie O'Donnell in every fight they had. I applaud Barry for not going on the show because he didn't want to listen to her foaming at the mouth about how great Bush is. I have always been a Barry Manilow and am even more so now. Way to go Barry! You make me proud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
