And the soul afraid of dying, that never learns to live.
That one line has more absolute truism in it than ALL Britney Spears, Christina Aguillera, J Lo, and Beyonce songs put together, not to mention a REAL woman singing and not some pop bubble gum McBimbo.
The Divine Ms. M. Bette Midler is so fantastic. She knows the crowd is going to sing this song so she just let's them have thier way. She is a Living Legend. She is a Rose.
I find there is a phenomina that sometimes a very ugly or not so pretty woman can be so very sexy. Bette is no looker but she is sooooo sexy and talented. The Rose is one of my fave. movies.
wow she is the best you can't compare her to any one. but check out "12 year old amazes crowd " he really made me feel this song can't believe he is only 12.
wow she is the best you can't compare her to any one. but check out "12 year old amazes crowd " he really made me feel this song can't believe he is only 12
I'd like to see any of the new popstars of nowadays to be able to sing like this when they reach this age...... if they even still have a career at ALL when they are this age!
mega talent, she's hillarious-one of the funniest people ever! and she can act brilliantly and she can sing, when she sings i get goose bumps. Beaches is my favourite film! xx
I love Bette since I was 7 years old after seeing Beaches on tv in '97 and Celine Dion since I was 5 years old. They used to tell people that I had the musical interests of a gay 20 year old man.
oh i love her so much, shes funny , extremely talented as an actress and what a voice.......you go bette, if you havent seen the film "the rose" watch it, shes amazing in it :-)
@rolf1008 I was foaming at the mouth when Westlife covered it. lol. They'd already ruined Diana Ross's 'When You Tell Me That You Love Me', whic was always my fave song ever. When they also covered Bette, they crossed a line. lol
So far beneath the bitter snow. Even when she makes fun of herself the beauty sings still. I think that you have heard that. Lift every voice and sing. What finer rule was ever laid down.
... after 1000s of times singing this song ... after the ribbing ... she comes back to the song that brought so much emotion ... and gave it justice. If you over 40 you'll know what I mean ... she made me smile ... and remember ... thank you so much Bette!
This song really does sum up life and how we should live in the lgiht of the love we are given and the love that give. This song will be played by my son at my funeral.
this song is dedicated to my dearest,best friend who died over thirteen years ago.How I miss her,she was the best and always will be. love you Pam Stallings from North carolina. rest in peace my friend!!!! love Shelley
...but I've been taken over and over again, and still I give to death... Just call me thorny rosebush, I suppose... ah, spring again, the pain of the first blossom, ouch!
I love it when she interacts with the audience. Especially watching her face while the crowd sings. To be there it's so electrifying.. gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. Everyone singing along...
My late wifes favourite number-- only Bette knows how to sing it.!! GREAT MEMORIES,

Nothing worse than when you sit next to someone that's singing along with
