"I Finally Found Someone" is a song by American singer Barbra Streisand and Canadian singer Bryan Adams. The power ballad was part of the soundtrack of Streisand's 1996 self-directed movie The Mirror Has Two Faces and was nominated for an Oscar. Several versions of a CD single were issued on its initial release. One contains a rare Spanish-language version of her 1976 song "Evergreen", as well as Adams' previous single "Let's Make a Night to Remember". Another version includes three solo recordings by Adams from his most recent album.

"I Finally Found Someone" reached No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary chart. The song gave Streisand her first significant hit in almost a decade and her first top-ten hit on the Hot 100 (and first gold single) since 1981. It also remains both artists' final Top 10 hit to date. The song was included on several reissues of Adams' album, 18 Til I Die. The single was also successful in several other countries, reaching No. 1 in Ireland, No. 2 in Australia, No. 6 in New Zealand and No. 18 in Adams' native Canada.

Production

Barbra Streisand told The Los Angeles Times in 1996: "I wrote the love theme, the main love theme, then Marvin wrote a bridge to it, and that was going to be our song. Then David Foster had the idea that I should sing the duet with Bryan Adams. Bryan played our track and heard me humming and fell in love with this little theme that I wrote, and then he and his producer Mutt Lange wrote a counter melody based on the track that I sent him. And they wrote the lyrics. So that's how that happened. I don't think his record company wanted him to sing with me...because I'm more traditional, and I haven't had a hit since I don't know when."{{Cite news|title=Barbra Streisand interview|date=1996|work=The Los Angeles Times}}

A video clip was made of the single, which consisted of promotional shots of the pair and clips from the film, as well as documentary shots of Streisand directing.{{Cite web|url=http://barbra-archives.com/tv/music_vids/finally_found_someone.html|title=Barbra Streisand Archives {{!}} I Finally Found Someone {{!}} Music Video|website=barbra-archives.com|access-date=September 7, 2016|archive-date=December 26, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191226155539/http://barbra-archives.com/tv/music_vids/finally_found_someone.html|url-status=dead}} The song was played during the end credits of the film.{{Cite journal|date=November 16, 1996|title=MIRROR REFLECTS STREISAND'S TALENTS, FLAWS.(DAILY BREAK)(Review)|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-73144776.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160224083020/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-73144776.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 24, 2016}}

Upon Hamlisch's death, Adams tweeted "We co-wrote the Oscar- nominated song, 'I Finally Found Someone' (a No. 8 Hot 100 Adams- Streisand duet for her 1996 film The Mirror Has Two Faces).

As a result, Streisand offered to resume her role, but Oscar producers had already asked Céline Dion to do it instead.

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard viewed "I Finally Found Someone" as "a lovely ballad that is rife with all of the delicious melodrama that one would expect from the legendary singer." He added, "Dueting with Adams seems odd at first, given the raspy texture of his voice next to her smooth tones. But it all makes sense as the song builds to its climax. His rockish drawl ultimately anchors the track and keeps it friendly to youth-driven pop formats. Still, it's the beauty of Barbra's incomparable style that is the soul of this fine, fine recording."{{cite magazine|first=Larry|last=Flick|title=Reviews & Previews: Singles|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Billboard/90s/1996/BB-1996-11-16.pdf|magazine=Billboard|date=November 16, 1996|page=78|accessdate=December 6, 2022|author-link=Larry Flick}} Jay Bobbin from Boca Raton News described it as a "big music hit".{{Cite web|first=Jay|last=Bobbin|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1291&dat=20000416&id=9ihUAAAAIBAJ&sjid=Z44DAAAAIBAJ&pg=3546,863232|title=Boca Raton News - Google News Archive Search|website=news.google.com|access-date=September 7, 2016}} Jeff Simon from The Buffalo News said Streisand is "fascinating" on the song.{{Cite journal|first=Jeff|last=Simon|date=December 9, 1996|title=O, MUSIC TREE THESE CD SOUNDS DELIGHT US|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-22894322.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161008201519/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-22894322.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 8, 2016}} Moviefone deemed it as a "generic power ballad", and described Adams as " similarly overwrought".{{Cite web|url=http://www.moviefone.com/2012/04/23/barbra-streisand-best-worst-movies/|title=Barbra Streisand Movies: Grading The Star's Hollywood Career|last=Staff|first=Moviefone|date=April 23, 2012|website=AOL Moviefone|access-date=September 7, 2016}} A reviewer from Music Week rated it three out of five, stating that "Streisand is in fine voice for this duet", adding that it is "guaranteed to soar high in the post-Christmas chart."{{cite magazine|url= https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1996/Music-Week-1996-12-21.pdf |title= Reviews: Singles |magazine= Music Week |date= December 21, 1996 |page= 12 |accessdate= October 6, 2021}} Star Tribune's reviewer thought it was "stagily romantic", in which Adams is "full of purring sweet talk but doesn't really throw any sparks".{{Cite journal|date=December 22, 1996|title=Inside; Videos: Monstrous.(ENTERTAINMENT)(Review)|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-62645581.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161008195203/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-62645581.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 8, 2016}} The Mirror said the song is one of the few pieces that redeem the score to The Mirror has Two Faces."{{Cite journal|date=1997-01-09|title=Soppy Marvin's right out of step; SOUND TRACKS.(Features)|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-61105339.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161008195132/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-61105339.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2016-10-08}} The Virginian Pilot deemed it "devoted".{{Cite journal|date=2003-01-17|title=CD REVIEWS: ON JAE SINNETT'S LATEST, EVERY GROOVE IS DIFFERENT.(DAILY BREAK)|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-96587315.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161008195522/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-96587315.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2016-10-08}} Arion Berger from The Washington Post wrote the Adams "speak-sings his way through" the song while Streisand is unrestrained.{{Cite journal|first=Arion|last=Berger|date=December 1, 2002|title='Duets': Streisand's One-Two Punch|url=https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-408408.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161008201705/https://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-408408.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 8, 2016}}
