Bette Midler- Royal Variety Performance 2009 

Bette Midler's 'Experience The Divine' is amazing set of greatest hits. i used to cry my eyes out listening to it as a lonely depressed gay boy from a small kansas town.

Anything with Bette Midler is amazing, she always shines - and even non-queens can love her.

Looking at the pictures, Queen Elizabeth actually smiled and said that she appreciated hearing Bette in person. Good for you, Bette!

I am 19 and i love Bette Midler. I was born in the wrong era

Bette Midler is among the greatest entertainers to ever grace the Earth!

Probably the best cover yet! Bette Middler nailed it...such a powerful voice. Jake Shimabukuro was incredible as well...I don't know anyone who can play the Ukulele the way he does!

What an unlikely yet amazing combination. A mature but ravishing Bette Midler with a twenty-something ukulele phenom singing a John Lennon classic for the Queen of England. No one could have ever seen this one coming. Truth is stranger than fiction.

Love Bette!!!! I grew up singing all of her songs .Fabulous entertainer, distinctant voice. Bless you, Bette!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE this MEGA TALENT WOMAN! Thank you Bette for all for your talent!

I think that the Queen should bow to Bette and not the way around, cos' the only and true Queen there was the one and only Bette Middler with her unique sence of humor...damn she was fantastic!

I met the Divine Miss M on several occasions. She is a very gracious and beautiful person with a heart of gold. Her talent is timeless.

Dear Bette , I miss you everyday , just like my late friend Jim Parker , We was with you Bette at Sunset Sound Studios .... i may be just wasting my time expressing my feelings to you ....But i just know if we met again you would remember us being together ....you was so nice to me Bette , we talked about all kinds of things ...you told me you just bought a house ....you asked me so many questions ? ? , you even asked me if you can sit next to me .....? Bette I know you see people all the time , But I really felt you liked me and felt very comfortable being around me . I still remember everything you asked me and what we talked about .....like I said you probably dont care and about us being together but I just want to tell you that I never forgot about you .... I wrote a beautiful song about us Bette , I know when you hear it , you will love it ...I wrote this from my heart about us Bette " it's called Bette Somethings you cant forget ... Performed by Natali, and I can hear you sing it too Bette ......I just cant stop thinking about us being together Bette .....I wish I took some pictures of us ....But I didn't think about that....you was 34 and I was 22 , when I said to you , I cant believe Bette Midler asked to sit with me. And now she's taking off her shoes rubbing her feet right next to me " you just looked at me and said " Nobody will Believe you " And then you said I'll be back .... . ... ..

one word "superb"

Her voice makes me relax and makes me think of positive perspective in life

Remember watching this when it was aired! Both Bette's and Jake's performance on my life are great!

Bless you, Ms Midler - so v gracious and truly talented. I love you, and thank you for all the years of beautiful joy ❤️💐❤️

how amazing is this young man? and how star eclipsing in her simple way is this woman? star quality will always shine through any glitter. star. full stop.

Umm hello everyone SHE WAS 64 HERE! so stop judging unless you have a career like hers or a voice like hers!

A born entertainer. Love Bette. Great performance!!❤

Bette is definitely unique and unrepeatable, she is perfect, so sweet and tender! Bette thanks to exist

I have replayed the last 13 seconds about 20 times now. Lol. Bette you're hilarious.

I hope to hear more Bette in the future. She is so wonderful!

What a classy broad! Bummed I missed her in Vegas.

natural melody and natural voice can embrace our world peacefully~

Wow, the Brits sure do love Bette. IMO is at her absolute best when doing Royal Variety Performances. Check out RVP 2014. She's playing King Charles Coronation Concert May 7 2023.

raise your hands if you've been enchanted.

She is amazing...give me the goose bumps listening to her. I love her!!! Such a unique voice. I dread the day she will no longer be with us.

I loveeeee this woman

Her beautiful voice and songs lift me up when I am down 💖

Nice voice. Her songs have something which you can learn about. Some of her songs have values in life. I really like her.

I was about 10 foot away watching from the wings using Catherine Jenkins as a leaning post

Love her!

What I would give to meet her! 😔😯❤

An incredible performance by both Bette and Jake, they should do more music together. Love the incredible DIVINE MS M, AN INTERNATIONAL TREASURE. Thanks for sharing this video, Bette brings so much joy to the 🌎.

Jake Shimabukuro is playing on an ukulele.

I WAS THERE....! (I never get to say that!)

I love you more!

Szuper isteni drága imádlak

Preciosa Version , Divina Bette !

Spectacular

@madder3 stick it up urs - bet you it would take the Queen and Milder its so well used!!!

Ukulele, not the guitar as it states in the description. But what the hey, another stellar performance from the divine Miss M.

❤️

Just to correct the record, Jake Shimabukuro is playing a Tenor Ukulele not a guitar. Quite appropriate that the concert was in Blackpool (often associated with George Formby and his 'little stick of Blackpool rock') and to have a virtuoso of the ukulele. Interesting to see how far the instrument has come from the 'jokey' songs of Formby (who actually played a Ukulele Banjo/Banjolele).

Superb

@pogi7788 yer i saw her too i flow over from australia to see her,,,wasnt she great

@Bennediict oh yes, I wasn't trying to imply anything even slightly negative, they haven't lost range or anything like that and can still sing they're hits,etc

I miss being with Bette Midler , I wish I would have said and did things different . Bette liked me a lot but I didn't pick up on what she was trying to tell me . I wish I had another chance for us to talk again .. The Bette you all see here is not the same Bette I was with . ..I still remember everything what we talked about and all those personal questions she asked me ...I really Believe Bette Midler And Kurt Snyder Would of been known years ago and today . Bette knows we were together years ago and she knows that she asked to sit next to me . very very close Bette was by my side . And I bet she still remembers when she took her shoes off and rubbing her legs and feet saying to me oh my feet are so sore " But like Bette said in a TV interview I never look back ..in other words she was saying , you had your chance but you blew it ! Hey I'm not ashamed to admit it .. Lol " I had a chance to sing to Bette And rub her legs "" But I didn't do it . I almost started to sing love me tender to her , Because she told me She Loves Elvis Presley a lot ...

Show biz; curtains perfectly match the dress. And the human-biz...need i say more....

exelente voz!!! love you bette

If that's a weak voice, I wonder what Miss M could do with a strong one!

I feel so silly for being so happy that Jake was there :/

The dress cost £4500 and is covered in Zarovski crystals........but because our Bette is so small they had to cut about a foot (12" inches) off the bottom, she wanted to keep the cut off to use as straps.....but it ended in the bin!!!!

Special thanks to Jerry Blatt

@4WildHorses1 I love Susan Boyle too--even w/o her make-over--she is fantastic--ad obviously--I have Susan's album an wild horses--is it a remake of the stones song?

What is the name of the song she sang first? I flippin love Bette Midler lol and I'm 21 ahahahaha shameful

@tarolegs not so shameful..ur in great company--young people are so mmuch more open minded ..young-clued in- and youlove Bette Midler..what more do you need..gay here so, I'm safe in many ways--good luck lol!

I thought she was going to sing, “ukulele lady,” lol

Have you got the full show?

Do you have the full show?

Is it me or has her voice gotten a bit deeper than it was? She hasn't lost range it's just deepened like Barbra Streisand's voice which has also deepend

@madder3 cau dy geg y gotsan hull

@andwhat93 Yes, it was a bit rude, wasn't it - just stalking off stage like that without so much as an acknowledgment to the audience or to royalty?!

Anyone know the name of this song

Great talent I’ve loved for years. But, like a lot of entertainers she lost my respect by voicing her political views against our President. Dolly Pardon said I’ve got fans of all parties. I’m a entertainer so I keep those views to myself. Think more entertainers should be that way.

her voice is really weak at this point
