  • this is a good rendition.. But does not compare to Bette Midlers version....

  • The Vocal rangeAAA+++

  • whatever and whoever you want to shit on: Find something to shit on here, i challenge you!

  • I suggest that any of you that weren't happy with this version, listen the other version uploaded.

    The audio only version is much better than this one the word INCREDIBLE is the only word that begins to describe this.

  • this sucks you got talent but not at this level leave this alone

  • I love Melissa ..but just not up to Bette's or Janice's standard..sorry

  • what beautiful words melissa 10q xxx

  • Why don`t we keep the peace. And focus on what I think matters nmost to Melissa Etheridge or any other performer. She brought back a lot of disenfranchised people back to rock n roll. She is genuine in her talent. And I look forward to what she has to share with us in the future.

  • What a performance!!! She´s amazing! She have sucth a brillant vocie. And she´s so beautiful. If she was my girlfriend I would sing that to her, if she wanted to go on without me. ;)

  • I've never heard someone do it as well as Bette, but she did. This made me cry. I love you Mel.

  • she's a beautiful lesbian!!! melissa..i love your songs and your style..i hope you could read this..

  • Great version of the song! 

  • Incredible performance! .... Very sad song.....

  • I sit here in a pool of tears. Thee best cover of this song EVER....never thought anyone could out do Bette Midler on this one. Step aside Bette.

  • the chills up my spine she is absolutly stunning..

  • Dear God she is amazing!!! I adore you Melissa!!! You totally did this song justice and The Divine Miss M would be very proud!! You rock honey!!!

  • great performance...WOW!

  • wow what a performance she the best straight from the heart great Rocker !!!!

  • wow what a performance she the best straight from the heart

  • Have mercy this woman has not lost one drop of her powers. I had an irregular heartbeat while watching this.

  • I never thought I'd say that someone could do this song justice other than the Divine Ms M! BUT WOW! And its in MY key!

  • almost all her songs were written about her personal experiences with love and fear, pain, angst and dreams... whoever listens not only to her ever-so-moving voice but understand deeply in their heart the message of the song, you would feel her emotions and ride in the journey of her life... from the time that she started singing and sharing her talent to us, she haven't changed much aside from a few wrinkles of aging, she's still the ever-so-lovable melissa who rocks my world... beautiful!

  • I'll stay with you Baby!!! This is Great !!!

  • Holy shit.

    This is the stuff of magic. Her voice just resonates on a level of my soul that no one else gets to.... It's beyond description.

  • i cry when i hear this all the time..... beautiful job Melissa~~~

  • Absolutely LOVE this!!!!

  • This is a fantastic version of this song full of emotion and Melissa brings it...totally. I agree..however...it doesn't quite top Bette Midlers version. Close call here.

  • Omg the only other woman beside's bett midler can belt that out besides janis.lol. love it work girl. can't no otha woman belt that out....... I dare U . bette did it best though.lol.

  • OMG! I have tears in my eyes. What a powerful performance!! I can't stop listening and crying.

  • wow!

  • this is awesome and makes me cry ='(...why is this happening to her, shes such an amazing women... i hope she will find peace and a new love in the future, who makes her happy again.

    keep on rockin melissa ... your amazing!

  • Raw emotion.  Truly compelling.

  • 3 letters....OMG.

    This is so awesome....and after the breakup of her relationship...you can see where she is tryin to keep it together. Damn awesome rendition! Still, Bette Midler in The Rose has the #1 version in my book.

  • @Barderella She's trying to keep it together? Melissa was cheating on her wife, Tammy Lynn Michaels, and then dumped her badly via the media. If anyone should be singing this song, it her ex wife!  Besides, the original song by Lorraine Ellison blows this version away.

  • @Scampergirl

    Like its any of your business. Get a life. Jerk!

  • @619creigh yeah...well unfortunately, if ME wanted privacy, should should have refrained from illuminating her personal life through her songs and the media to push her own marketing agenda., including book she wrote (throwing her family under the bus, by the way). It's a little late to start screaming at people to mind their own business. She made a BUSINESS out of making sure the public did NOT mind her business. So piss off yourself....Jerk!

  • She's just the best. The very best. She wails it out for all of us!

  • I love my wife-Marie..... Im sorry dear. Ang

  • Heartbreakingly beautiful.

    Overflowing with lashes of meaning in the contemporary context, Bette would be proud.

  • Moved me to tears...

  • FANTASTIC - you could feel her emotion - she was singing from her heart and soul. Absolutely moving!!!!

  • Melissa, triple R ! Rock, rock, rock !

  • This is incredible! Absolutely there is emotion in this song. Just close your eyes and feel it.

  • I love Melissa's performances....but this doesn't do it for me.

  • @TeeJaye46 Agree...I love her too but not her best performance.

  • I am a fan but besides the fact she can sing her brains off (which we all know she can) there is no soul in this performance. It just feels empty and fake, not a real emotion.

  • @collin26 No real emotion? Really? were we watching the same video. Because I'm amazed she didn't start crying at the end of the song.

  • @collin26 : I totally change my mind and apologize...I listened to it all the way through.

    It is a great performance and shows feeling afterall. I thought it over & decided my mind & heart was somewhere else when I first heard it, so I decided to return & listen right through.....really brought me to tears...:o)

  • Damn that makes me relive the first few weeks after my husband left me. It's so much better now but those wounds, man they can cut deep.

    That was amazing.

  • She is absolutely AWESOME!

    God Bless.

  • Will people stop doing this there is a different between a Fan and a Fanatic. I like her her music and I think she is a good person but nobody perfect. Who cares why and how they break up. I read Tammy blog too. I think it both their faults. 14 year age difference. I heart radio should disable the comments feature.

  • @RoofieHop Guess you haven't read Tammy's blogs. Plus..if you saw Melissa on Oprah she as much as admitted she is the one that wanted out of that relationship when she said she can't love anyone until she learns to love herself. So she's feeling bad about herself and leaves her family? That's how you handle problems? I think that's pretty lame.

  • You said it !!!!! ME always sings my soul

  • WOW!!! Melissa rocks as usual! T

  • What power!  Love. That. Woman.

  • Just fabulous. What a powerful song and performance. LOVE her.

  • I don't know why I should be surprised that she blew me away because that is usually the case with Melissa. But WOW! INCREDIBLE performance.

  • amazing song i love it and u are amazing x

  • WOW!! SuperStar!!

  • Sad....but seems to me Tammy is the one that should be singing this song....eh?

  • @moveon881 Why...because Tammy chooses to air her one-sided dirty laundry on the internet while Melissa chooses to keep hers private? None of us knows a truthful thing about what really went on but I for one respect the fact that Melissa is being mature about this and keeping it private.

  • @dogrescuergirl And Melissa airs her laundry thru her songs. Fearless love, Company, To be Loved. Listen to the words.

  • @dogrescuergirl . You are soooo right. MLE has class!!!

  • Absolutely beautiful Melissa.

  • poor Melissa, makes you feel bad for her. I know that she will make it through this though! It always just takes time! Wishe her the best

  • Amazing talent

  • WOW ! I LOVE MELISSA !!!!!

  • Always loved when Bette did this tune and now I have a new love. Melissa doing 'Stay With Me'. Both passionate and both excellent. Yet, they each have made the song suit them.

    Bravo to Melissa Etheridge.

    SpeakTruer

  • I was there for this performance. The whole audience became quiet as Melissa put her whole heart into this song. It was incredible!

  • @skutelskys I was there also front row to the left and it was the best darn performance Ive seen her do of such a moving song. Bette is a favorite of mine to and I know Bette would have loved her version. She thinks a lot of Bette and talked about her at the show where she sang this as a cover song in Canada in a past tour. Melissa is the best and if you can go see her if youve never seen her do so!!

  • She is A Musical Genius and a Nice Lady

  • incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • WOW.... great!!

  • WOW Missy
