God give me strength

[JigsawCaptain]

Kristen Vigard owes the song. Period. Too bad Laura Nyro is not here to do it. Can you imagine? Mindblowing. I am not a fan of Mr. Costello's, so I won't allude to his version. Though I respect him as an artist.

[jmsz1964]

great song, but no one sings it like the original performer (who provided the singing voice for illeana douglas in the film "grace of my heart"), kristen vigard. do a search for her 5-minute version on youtube and check it out. simply extraordinary.

[JackAttack5873]

No one does it like the originator, Mr. Elvis Costello

[middkdr]

Only Elvis Costello could show Bette up, but he shows her up in stars. Burt, thank you for this song, so that we can all, fans of all, love a song that resounds with all of us. If you didn't shed a tear, go back to the beginning and listen again.

[horowizard]

Fantastic. I'm not a Bette fan, but she's got so much talent and originality that I can't deny the fact she really did this song justice. I really dug this.

[skyavalanche]

Divine!

[alibrighteyes]

no one can do it like Bette ;)

[Livingallalone]

I don't recall ever seeing this either..WHERE WAS I???

[Alvin4NY]

@Livingallalone - That's what I said...beautiful song.

[rissleep]

what is this from??? like what show was it on, i know it's from her cd Bette.

[Zentub]

@rissleep I have not seen this clip before, I really like it though

[unskinnyboba]

This is a pretty good remake. The original was from a movie "Grace of My Heart", a low budget indie and written by Elvis Costello/Burt Bacharach.

[jefgain]

Really great song and Bette hits it out of the park!!!

[grainofsandfan]

She should cut a piece with Bob Dylan. It's not too late.

Tangled Up in Blue or Idiot Wind would be good.

They know one another and they have sung together off the record.

[delagosis]

they did "buckets of rain" together. it's on bette's 3rd album - songs for the new depression. great song, great artists.

[Zentub]

@delagosis you are very good, I was going to say the same thing.

Are you Doris Delago perhaps?

[rissleep]

@delagosis yes i have it< and i LOVE it, Buckets of rain is my fav on that CD :) but i like the version from when they were recording it the best, when you hear them talking and working things out, and making fun of each other :)

[southshore07]

Bette is brining it!!! I was not ready. Go Bette! Love this song and her rendition!

[gaspo218]

She not only sings great, she looks great, too. She can do anything.

[Zentub]

Thnak you Delago, I might have to oohIwannalayou, wanna nookie oh wa, etc.

Thank you for a beautiful song from my fav modrn performer who ranks with Ms Ethel Merman, Rosalyn Russel and Lucielle Ball.

[rissleep]

PAH-LEEZ she's BETTEer than all of them combined :)

[Zentub]

Bette is all of them combined, no doubt..

[TheMeetin]

@rissleep You type BETTEr like I do :D

[mon1enararauno]

nice song for this HOLY WEEK! so ispirational..

[Baileythemage]

I love her voice in its lower registar!!!!!!! She's AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alvin4NY]

She's always been great, but her voice has only gotten better in the last 20 years. She works at it.....

[TheMeetin]

The actual song isnt low, Its just the studio has bad sound. The real song is pretty high. It probably wouldnt be so bad if she was really singing :P

[Naabna]

I LOVE BETTE, I love it!

See, I´m only human, I want him to hurt

I want him,I want him to hurtttttttt!!

Since I lost the power to pretend

that there could ever be a happy ending!!!!

wow, wow, wow, and more wow!

Bette is GREAT! NICE! CUTE! AND DIVINE!!!

BLESS YOU DELAGOSIS!

LOVE, FROM MEXICO!

[charlie06840]

Bette got nice and thin doing her show in Vegas! I love her doing this Bacharach song...it's better than Elvis Costello's version.

[halaluani]

This is a song written by Costello with Bacharach.
