I went to a benefit for AIDS she hosted in a small theater in Westwood. Cher and others were there but when everyone was gone she was cleaning up and I told her I would help. She is so real, humble and kind. She is also tiny. Fortunately most entertainers are kind but some take it to another level. She is one of those.
She was almost 70 by this time yet she was amazing, saw the tour which followed and the best experience of my life! She sang all live, her voice was in perfect shape and she was really funny! Met her after and she was engaging and lovely! She didn’t write her songs, but her interpretation of them are amazing! This special is beautifully done!
SHE IS PERSONIFICATION of a legend ! If she were a star in the 30s, she would have been "FANNY BRICE" ! ONLY BETTER ! THIS GAL CAN DO EVERYTHING ! LOVE HER, LOVE HER, LOVE HER !💙💙💙🩵🩵🩵💘💘💘💘💝💝💝
Bette Midler. The Devine Miss M. Is that rear beautiful spark that shine's so Bright. She only becomes more bright as time moves forward. Yes. The Devine M. Has the insight of being her true beautiful self. Coming to New York from the shores of the small Hawaiian Islands. Where she was born. She made a name for herself In the always glamour halls of the gay bathhouses. Sharping her craft for the brave men is only bath towels. And sometimes when the towels fell away. She knew she had fans in bath towels for her in tired life. I only can say. What a Incredible Dame miss M is still today. Winning the Tony for her magically performance on stage in Hello Dolly. I love you Bette. Thank you for giving me and the world you. DC Mathisen. Sacramento CA
An early article in the times reported Bette Midler as being born in Paterson, nj. Somehow, I think that is the truth. He twin cousins looked just like her down the road in lyndhurst.
I love you bette midler you are smazing ,awesome and a wonderful singer. I am huge bette midler fan .from a distance is my all time favorite song along with i put a spell on you from hocus pocus .
Bette keeps getting better and better, she still got it, the looks, the voice and the body. Like many others commented, I didn't know this existed until I happened upon it as I was looking on RU-vid for something to watch today, and I found this masterpiece. Thank you Bette Midler for sharing your God given talent with the world!
Dear Miss Midler, do you know how much the world adores you? I mean, practically the entire planet loves you. That's a lot of love. It's coming from all over. We see you performing in England from Australia and we all adore you.
The video is from 2014. She was 69 than. What an energy and still great voice. This woman is one of the greatest talents of the 20th century, like Barbra Streisand.
@@a.karatas953 Bette and I was together for hours at a time , she even asked to sit next to me , and then to my surprise she pulls up a chair sitting very close to me saying and lifting her legs up at the same time , saying oh my feet are so sore , " I said to her really ? And she replied yeah " then she takes off her shoes right before my very eyes and rubs her feet " that's right Bette Fans " she rubs her feet very close to me ......I wish I had a camera that would of made a great photo .....And we were alone , yes I Robert Kurt Snyder , Was alone with Bette Midler ........
People throw the word ICON so loosely nowadays that when a real ICON like Bette Midler shows up and you say it doesn’t seem enough but this woman is really the definition of it. Love you Bette !!!!
It's so funny to see Bette Midler interviewed by the wonderful Dame Joanna Lumley! I have ALWAYS wanted Bette Midler & Barbra Streisand to do an American 'version' of 'Absolutely Fabulous' with Midler as Edina and Streisand as Patsy. Now, I know they've never worked together (and I don't know if they like each other) but I think the two of them together would be BRILLIANT!
Absolutely lovely... I was sitting at a table in the Troubadour night club when Bette was just beginning her career. Peter Allen was on the piano. Bette came out into the crowd and proceed to stomp her high heel on my foot...ouch... that’s how I met Bette. Wow what a show she put on... thank you Bette. I look down at that tiny scar with fond memories.
Indeed a show girl, an artist a comedian.....what more one can be - I am Italian and strange enough I do love all the Jewish Ladies in show business! ❤️🌹
The Divine. You are pure poetry. My Idol. May you feel this bursting love from your miles far and away. Thank you for being you. Most sincerely. You are truly divine.
Yes, the legend was done by 1980. But, God, the divine miss m, and most of bill hennessy’s other creations were so exciting in the ‘70’s. Most abandoned his brilliant concepts.
Well ya know girls the first and only time I saw here perform was at the CONTINENTAL BATHS NYC, Barry M somebody at the black and whites, but who cared....
Awesome video. Thank you so much for posting it. I've loved Bette since the mid-seventies. I've loved Joanna Lumley since she played Marjorie Majors on "Shirley Valentine" and, of course, enjoyed Patsy Stone along with the rest of the world. I have her so high on a pedestal that it's odd for me to see her fawning over anyone but I suppose ... it is Bette, after all.
Yeah, I'll never forgot that double live album she put out some time ago. And she was saying: I was in bed last night with my boyfriend Ernie, and he says to me "Soph...." (He always called me Soph ....) He says "Soph, you've got not its and a tight box!" So I said to him "Ernie, get OFF MY BACK!!!" Always put a big ol' smile on me face, that one did..... All good blessings, oh Divine One ..... Love ya. 🤩
Watching this brilliance, this production from 2014, this past hour, has been a complete joy!! I have so many Bette Midler stories, but one is from the 1970s, when I would see Bette Midler by herself about Greenwich Village when she lived on Barrow Street. I lived on W.12st. Soooo long ago. 😊
Hello all you Bette fans out there , Bette Midler rubbed her feet very close to me ....what would you Bette fans " would have done if you was in my place? I was one lucky guy , But I screwed everything up between Bette and I " She liked me , But I screwed everything up and insulted the hell out of her ...... I was 22 and she was 34 , when we met and almost fell in love , at sunset sound studios in los Angeles Ca.... On August 5th 1980 .....
I love her music and especially to see her on stage is awesome. Something about her performance is set apart from the rest. I don't think anyone really gets close to Ms. M.
What a true legend the Divine Bette Midler she looks absolutely Amazing love her heavenly voice , Fabulous songs what a woman luv u from a distance Bette Midler
I was grateful to see her in concert I know what she has done with gay bathhouses they all loved her me to I understand I am so happy I had to see her she is the most wonderful performer ever
I was completely unaware that she did this special, and it was apparently nearly 5 years ago since she was promoting It's The Girls album. So glad I found it here on youtube
This was awesome! Thanks for posting! I was having a bad night and this is just what I needed! Can always count on listening to or watching Bette and your day going from crap to absolute delight!! Bette is...a one of a kind. Absolutely amazing!!
