Bette Midler - Aids Benefit

[carolvarnermom]

What a performance--Nobody can sing it out like Bette!!!

[grai]

Bette's one of those people that never fails to amaze

you think you know what she does and then she amazes you again

[YoyoMammogram]

Does she have AIDS?

[natalieinge]

@YoyoMammogram no she does not. she started out singing cabaret at the continental bathhouse in NY, got the nickname "Bathhouse Betty" and was a big hit on the gay scene, and obviously being in showbiz had a lot of gay friends. she did a lot of aids benefits and charity work. she has said that the people she started out with are nearly ALL dead from aids now and its a cause close to her heart.

@natalieinge if that doesnt make you want to cry theres something wrong with the world

[SoldMySoulToYou]

[dustbugger]

I can not watch this with out crying my eyes out.

[rissleep]

I love how in the end, everyone is singing backup for her!! And That is my favorite dress that she wears in For The Boys (the Japan scene). Bette is soooo amazing!

[williamnorvell]

sorry my typing. he died fall 1994. and most of these song bring back memories of him

[williamnorvell]

My brother made it to this. He died in 1984. We both loved her, she is such a class act. We saw her in Houston, the summer before he died. Glad we could share it together. She made you feel it.All the emotions in one show

[bikerbutterfly]

can you say GLAMOROUSSSS!!!!!

[ccthebrat]

Hales, this video is awesome. I don't know how she made it through the song. Its a really touching performance. Thanks for posting it !

[marcosvalenca]

No one can convey feelings, in a song, better than The Divine Miss M.

[rissleep]

[cdftaurus]

Bette is a real class act

[znfern1980]

[KarenRoese]

It's so ahhhhhhhh! I can't find the right words! Thanks so much for posting!

[ZHerman1129]

To Britney Spears, Madonna, Ashlee Simpson and Avril Lavigne:

Take note, Miss M has more talent in her pinky toe than any of you have in your own body. This woman is THE consumate entertainer. You MUST see her live in concert. She will take you from laughing hysterically to sobbing your eyes out within a second. Bette truly is the last of the true entertainers. May she live forever.

[drtpur16]

I think she was crying. Its hard to tell if Bette is crying. You can see in the video that at one point she wipes under her eye after people start clapping I think.

[webuster]
