Barry Manilow may have performed twice on ‘The View’ before but it seems that third time is not the charm.

TMZ reported that the legendary singer pulled out of his scheduled appearance on the talk show because he strongly disagrees with host Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s conservative view. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the male form of Rosie O’Donnell.

TMZ obtained an exclusive statement from Barry where he says “I strongly disagree with her views. I think she’s dangerous and offensive. I will not be on the same stage as her.”

While Barry took his stand against Elisabeth, a source tells TMZ that it was actually the shows producers that pulled the plug on his performance when his people demanded that Elisabeth does not appear on the show with him.
