Bette Midler- Royal Variety Performance 2009

[andwhat93]

lovely performance. But why didn't she courtesy to the Queen ?

[periperigord]

@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?!

[TheDivineMisterD]

@andwhat93 She's not British and she might find it offensive and classiist, who knows? Maybe she did in line when she met the queen....in any affect we're all human

[andwhat93]

@TheDivineMisterD Yeah i agree. but i dont think you have to be British to pay respect to the British Monarch :)

[L3b3sgu3]

"...The first song is the Beatles classic My Life accompanied on guitar by Jake shimabukuro and her own hugely popular Wind beneath my wings. ..."

This is no guitar but a ukulele. A common misconception..

[tomtompataygutom]

raise your hands if you've been enchanted.

[Barman123ful]

i like bette middler i wish she come to my home town but i know she would not as it is only a small town

[less01]

her voice is really weak at this point

[therealdeb]

its common courtesy for everyone who performs at the royal variety to bow to the box! my guess is that she was so nervous she forgot... it is a big deal to perform at the Variety!!

[cjwlht1]

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

[viewdemonde]

Lovely compliment to sing a Beatles' song. Beautiful gown, too.

[viewdemonde]

Beautiful gown, too.

[kodachromebelle]

I love this song, remember when i first heard it. Beautiful. Beautiful woman, One of the most talented women ever in the music industry.

[sargend]

This woman defines the term " talented". Few stars have the longevity, the uniqueness, the modesty. She is amazing!!

[TheFightforpeace1]

[daveymaxine]

[al2damax]

you;ll find it on the movie soundtrack she did called "for the boys"

[alexitonly]

exelente voz!!! love you bette

[justinjameswest]

god. she is perfect. this perfect thing. bette midler.

[DAN13L15]

There really needs to be a new set of re-releases of her albums, theyr getting harder to find! She's so great :D

[DaxShaw]

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

[Bennediict]

@DaxShaw The voicebox tends to grow a little weaker when you grow older even though you continuously try to keep it and maintain it. So it's just naturally that the voice sounds to be deeper and it Bette's and Barbra's case, they still sound really awesome compared to some other singers in the business. Another few singers I know of that sound great are Patti LaBelle and Gladys Knight, who keeps their voices strong and powerful.

[DaxShaw]

@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

[Bennediict]

@DaxShaw Neither do I. I just wanted to explain to you that this happens to everybody, even us normal people. :) Now you can tell anybody this if they ask.

[SuperDivaDeb]

Always loved Bette singing this!! One of my most favourite songs and she sings it beautifully!

[sexyfooker2k0]

[Jessie5677]

[tarolegs]

[leighg5226]

@tarolegs The first song is the Beatles classic- My Life

[fannycraddock99]

@leighg5226 It's actually called 'In My Life'.

[freshair345]

@tarolegs not shameful ...it's all good

[Mail4AdamEu]

@tarolegs it´s from the movie For the boys. It´s worh a watch :o)

[stevensondavid096]

@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!

[jamsey59]

Bette looks so good... hate to admit she is my age... hell, she looks so much better

[DegreeOfLove]

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!!!!

[anthonynewsome]

amazing lady -

[KirkJamesBragg]

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

[jonnosebastian]

BLESS YA BETTE !

Come back to OZ!

[uos91]

natural melody and natural voice can embrace our world peacefully~

[dwinter7]

the ukulele player is Jake Shimabukuro, amazing!!!

[marcrainsford]

Bette's looking fantastic! Sounds fab and IS fab!

[chimney1993]

Who's the guy on the ukulele? i sooooo recognise him.

[4WildHorses1]

Especially, "The Rose" on my site. But what really gets me [and I love Bette } If she can sing at the Royal Varity Show, why couldn't Susan Boyle sing at the American Grammy's. She saved the Music Industry from going down hill all by herself. Can't wait for Susan to come back to America. Am I the only one who thinks thats odd. Leave a message on my site . Thanks all.

[MrNexie]

@4WildHorses1 Sorry, but I don't think Susan Boyle's all that amazing. She has an above average voice that has been propelled to stardom by the popularity she gained from Reality TV.

[4WildHorses1]

@MrNexie  Susan was propelled by millions of U-Tubers around the world. And her voice and story. And no one can deny the numbers. But my main point was an American, being in the Royal Variety Show, which I thought was for U.K. Stars. My Bad. But then who wants to go on a show and Kanye West jump on the stage.lol

[stevensondavid096]

@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?

[madder3]

Great singer, but what a pity she just walked off the stage and didn't bother to curtsey to the Queen; at least Lady GaGa did.

[selfelin]

@madder3 why the hell would a person whoo is not a British citizen curtsey to a foreign monarch? Indeed come to think of it why would any sane person demean themselves and curtsey to an inbred individual who happens to have landed the life of riley just because of who's front butt she dropped out of?!!

[madder3]

@selfelin stick it up your hoop.

[selfelin]

@madder3 cau dy geg y gotsan hull

[madder3]

@selfelin hahaha!

[selfelin]

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

[chelseall83]

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

[behappyxsmile1]

[rissleep]

[p21john]

[bharbhy10]

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

[UkuleleJarr]

[cantbelieveitsnotemo]

[CHERADICTO]

Long live the Queen- BETTE MIDLER!

[ImpossiblePrince01]

There are currently rumours circulating that Bette Midler will tour when her current Vegas residency comes to an end this month. I really hope it's true. I was due to go and see her in Vegas but never did in the end. I'd do anything to see her live. She's amazing.

[marco617]

She is amazing. I saw her several years ago on tour .. only Bette, she had no opening act, nor needed one. Best Live Show that I have seen ever.

[daveheel]

4 nights a week in vegas and still makes time for other performances. hard-working lady. thanks for the great upload.

[henrygrove1]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hip Hip Hurrah!!!!

[porkinwitz]

you want to get a lot of views from this?

add "Jake shimabukuro" to the tilte.

[RACHEL68100]

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.

[jamesmlindsay]

Looking good, the world doesn't have enough Bette Midler in it.

[Rocky2Math]

The gal amazes me!

Long live the Queen- BETTE MIDLER!
