Bette Middler - The Rose REACTION 

This song is from the movie "the rose" starring Bette. It's loosely based on Janis Joplin.

One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded

Anyone who has ever been in love can relate to this masterpiece, such a bittersweet song....

Bette Midler had it all. Enormously talented singer and performer, a very good actress, she could have done pretty much anything but unfortunately didn't have the looks of an ingénue. As she got older it didn't matter so much and she embraced the character actress label. On stage, though, as a cabaret performer her wit and charm came through, and that's where she really shined.

When it was released, The Rose elevated her star so much. She was asked to sing "The Wind Beneath My Wings" at a memorial soon after 911.

Bette and singing this songs brings me to tears always

Bette Midler is a great actress, comedian & singer spanning 5 decades. She has won a lot of awards in many fields. She has had so many hit movies besides hit songs such as "Wind Beneath My Wings", "From A Distance", "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", "Do You Wanna Dance?", "Friends" etc.

Back in 1992 my best friend (13 years old) and I (14 years old) sang this as a duet in choir every Friday. She passed away at the end of 8th grade and I haven't heard this song since until today (08/19/2024). Made me cry but love this song 😢

As always, Sarah, my thanks. This gave me the resolve to record this track with my backing guitar cut in, as a gift to my daughter. ❤

I love Bette Middler ❤and this Song too 🌹

I absolutely love this song!!

I loved the movie ❤ I love the singer and the actress

Hi Sarah love watching your reactions! ❤️ I would love to see you react to Tammy Lynette "Till I Can Make it on My Own" she was an amazing talent that was lost to soon

You should check out the studio version -- it's so pure

There's a reason she's known as The Divine Miss M. :)

Not sure it is the best version of it but I have loved this song for more than 30 years! Polupar slow in France in the 80s.

Lovely.

I think I heard this song in 1966, sung by Lorraine Ellison? Not sure, it was long ago.

Take a look at this one from her (and The Staggering Harlots) "BETTE MIDLER - Chapel Of Love (live) (From 'Divine Madness') (1981)" its not on RU-vid its on Dailymotion

Gr8 movie❤ "THE ROSE"

The following link is from an older performance, it's the best performance I know of this song. The video quality is not great, but the performance, the way she sings it, this is 'the one': ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-m0CvciW9AkQ.html

Beautiful, but her original, younger voice is measurably better.

This was Done my Conway Twitty. You should listen and compare

The introduction will only be understood by a few. But listen and ye shall rise.

I remember the film being quite good.

Great reaction! Bette is a national treasure. Her talent knows on bounds. Here is a lovely song that I play a lot. Give it a listen and I bet it will put a smile on your face. LOVE-『Someone To Love』【Official Video】 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qGlVb2KPq8w.html

You should watch the movie

I wonder why she sang about a rose instead of a Korean Spice Viburnum, which is far more rare and scintillating. Probably too long. Maybe next time. Beautiful song, packed with salt water.

Wynett I hate auto correct

personally I prefer The Rose sung by the author of the song. Amanda Mc Broom.

please, video bigger and sound louder!

The song is great but she is NOTHING!!!

Her original hit version will always be the absolute best.
