Bette Midler on Ellen Degeneres 11/24/08

[Sera79]

Awesome!! Bette & her ukulele :D

[itsDyson]

WIN!!! @7:25 a leaf comes out of Bette's mouth. LOL

[HogbergPhotography]

You idiots, do you really believe you can be 70 years old and dont have a wrinkle?! Please wake up! S U R G E R Y ! ! !

[soymiguelalejandro23]

I love Bette! 

[SultrySole]

if i could like this video a million times, i SO WOULD.

[poptartbrat]

Bette Midler is a legend, crazy and funny! I love you Bette Midler! 

[ivelosthewilltolive]

Bette Midler accompanying herself on ukulele? That's a keeper

[InEvry1ThereIsBeauty]

Her voice!! After all these years, she still sounds amazing. She is a true legend. There will never be another like Bette Midler. Just hearing a little of "The Glory of Love" got me a little choked up. Her song from "Beaches", "Wind beneath my wings" we played at my brothers funeral 10 years ago. She always has such passion when singing that song. There was no doubt in my mind that it was what needed to be played. I would love to hear her sing it live some day, just for that reason.

[InEvry1ThereIsBeauty]

Two AMAZING women on one stage :) I LOVE Bette and Ellen!!!

[Seyahhsod]

THUMB UP

if you think Christina Aguilera would be perfect for playing the part of  BETTE MIDLER !

[HogbergPhotography]

OMG that surgery is crazy.. But I guess its okay.. I just wish she had the self confidence to not operate her face.. Sad..

[jonath102]

@HogbergPhotography what do you mean ? she drinks little children soul, makes her look younger...dont you know that ?

[poptartbrat]

@jonath102 Too funny! Ha ha!

[poptartbrat]

@HogbergPhotography WTF?

[StephEzzy27]

Hocus Pocus was my favorite movie when I was younger, and five seconds ago I realized it was Bette!!!

[ladybluluv]

ewe...2 lezbos!

[MissLovesMusic2010]

@ladybluluv All LOVE is EQUAL. The faster you learn that the better ;)

[mjsr1976]

LOVE Bette Midler! Always have always will!!!

[mikebdenv]

Without gay men, Midler would be scrubbing toilets in some suburb,then she goes and stabs us all in the back on Larry King about same sex marriage - we, you know, like to move around- now she's backpedaling because she figured out how much it cost her to show her true colors which are very conservative - she's TWO FACED and I will never pay a dime for anything she is selling EVER AGAIN!!

[balladof]

@mikebdenv When I saw her live in Boston after my marriage became legal here she commented on how its passage was wonderful and congratulated the state. Then Bette went on to bash conservatives for the rest of the show. And this was years ago as NY is late to the game. She's on our side. So calm down and enjoy a unique and powerful talent.

[mrfrogbutt1]

@mikebdenv What are you talkin about?

[vkoo32]

Bette Midler sucks !!

[alainAfroB]

amazing a true live performance entertainer and talent singer dancer actor!

[Alphadog7887]

Is this at the Coliseum?

[MissLovesMusic2010]

@Alphadog7887 Don't know if your question was answer since it was asked 5 months ago but no it's Ceasers Palace....I think I spelled that wrong....oh well lol

[maleficentdiva]

Ellen got owned at 6:28 ha ha! 

[Chicmadmoiselle]

GRACIAS DIOS POR DARNOS A BETTE Y A BARBRA!

[septemberishere]

that is so funny, I love bette no matter what she's doing.

[cuntcow6]

Love Bette because she is alive... Hate Ellen because she's safe and takes homosexuality back about 20 years. Ellen might as well be wearing blackface, she dances enough to keep mid- America clapping like trained seals.

[alamedastreet]

@cuntcow6 How the hell does Ellen take homosexuality back? She speaks out for gay causes, she's been an outspoken person about all the gay suicides and bullying, and she's open about the fact she's married and happily in love. Hell, she had her marriage pictures on her show. Should we have to talk about it twenty-four seven before you're happy or what? Ellen is a great person, but you, dear, suck. Cunt indeed.

[cuntcow6]

@alamedastreet Hey man just relax this is how I feel... you should be more open. And Ellen getting married how does that help anyone? So breeders can say it's just the heterosexual life pattern desires of the homosexual subconscious. Ellen is an Uncle Tom... if you don't feel that way it's cool. If you want to have an adult conversation I'm open to have one, but you if you are going to get upset over someone you do'nt know...

[sillyfishy64]

love her

[Ladyluck2806]

Bette is the queen! the madonna's the chers the christinas, this woman is responsible!

[666ff7wtf]

Thank you Ellen...For that MARVELOUS introduction.

[RImusclebear]

Bette and Babbs, that is it!

[tipofmytongue1024]

He's the sweet chocolate sugar coated candy man....oh wait.

[TheRavensCalling]

i will always look at Bette Midler as Winifred Sanderson. Hocus Pocus is my absolute favorite movie

[AliceElphabaWonka]

@TheRavensCalling that movie is amazing haha i love her acting in that one.

[leopoldhoob]

the greatest......

[charmed1990spain]

oh, god, she speaks so fast, i can't understand well

[MrEricSevert]

Love Bette, but she looks like Barbara Eden's mom in this interview!

[justinjameswest]

[Tannimd]

You are the Divine Miss M!!!

[ayount93]

boogie woogie bugle boy- by the somethin sisters

[BossCheeChee]

Please check out my crappy remix of Bett Midler

[diandri11]

what the name of that song!?!

[AbeNW11]

@diandri11 Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. Origianlly by the Andrews Sisters. Check them out. Funkiest stars of the 1930's and 40's.

[alixvhessen]

Her voice is not worth mentioning - but I like her anyway :)

[ameroux]

The ukelele version of "The Glory of Love" is wonderful!

[fondofletters]

Bette is cool!

[SwayingAndSweeping]

bette midler is amazing! i will admit though, she was a tad bit full of herself in the beginning but i absolutely LOVE HER!

[MysteriousTOAST]

Its her essence, her thing. :)

[lilalai100]

someone watch her show when Pink appears ? ..

[marktopp]

Have wanted to see Bette since I first read about her in the UK music press when she did a show in London in 1975/76. Finally got to see her on Sunday - her final performance - she was everything I expected and more. Well worth the wait that's for sure.

It was a truly GREAT show, she is a legend.

[rissleep]

Omg I am going to Bette's show on Jan. 23rd and I can't wait!!! Happy sweet 16 to me!!!! Bette you are the best!!

[jephrox79]

To this day, whenever she sings "The Glory of Love" still gets me teary-eyed. Such a great song, especially when she sings it. Whether it's the version she sings in "Beaches" or this ukelele version. Amazing!!!

[Picardy]

Be forewarned - the ukulele version of "Glory of Love" is not on her album - just a very slow slow slow version with piano.

[KevL75]

I saw her latest album cover.

She's got great legs!

[moochie987]

oh dear i so agree

[NellieLovett1995]

Happy Birthday Bette!!! :D

[MikoVideos]

[MGCtheatrecompany]

[tifah1209]

[EffLabels]

It's so cool that she's still married.

[angelheart1430]

Bette is AWESOME!

[AlexaBabyy5]

i dont think i could live without her.

[xXBetteMidler4evaXx]

agree 100% i'd be nothing without her.

[dramadork08]

here here!

[xXBetteMidler4evaXx]

I got a hug from her!!! Best moment of my life. I might be going all the way back out early September *fingers crossed* hopefully I'll get to meet her!! she's everything to me!! I'd be nothing without her x

[DivineBette]

ooook one word : DIVINE!!!!!!

[Buckleigh]

Tho I've seen Bette in concert several times, I wish I had the cash (or credit) to see this show (i live in LV). I've heard that she plans to retire after the contract is over.

[BlueSpirit3743]

OH MY GOD ARE YOUS ERIOUS??? Where did you ehar that? Im writing a haracter for her in my screenplay : ( its a great one too, a real Bobbie Markowitz-style character like she did in The Stepford Wives : (

[charmedjames]

She is AMAZING.

[stphncrmr]

I love Bette Midler

[fatheadBree1]

So too state my point again....you have no life.

[fatheadBree1]

if you dont like her sound or her music, why are you viewing videos with her in it, don't you have a life?

[fatheadBree1]

Better midler isn't a lesbian dumbass, she has been married to her husband and has a daughter with him.

[smallpercentage]

lol. dear fathead, it's sweet that you are defending the facts. true, midler isn't a lesbian, but your case doesn't prove it. having a husband and a daughter doesn't exclude you from any sexuality.

[fatheadBree1]

hahahaha i know that. If i was trying too proove something i wasn't so definite sure on, i would of given more of a case. But i just don't get why so many people go on thinking that coz she is an independant, funny, vibrant and flamboyant woman...that she must be gay. I mean everyone just keeps with the stereotypes these days... just annoying.

But your very right, having a husband and daughter doesnt exclude if you like women lol.

[chachisgirl]

i love bette midler! three of my favorite movies are hers!

[RollerDisc88]

what movies?

[MikeyLowellFan]

ummm....BEACHES!!!! shes actually been in a bunch of movies. you should look them up. shes really good.

[RollerDisc88]

i meant what 3 movies in partitcular. I saw bits and pieces of Beaches. She was great in Hocus Pocus

[xXBetteMidler4evaXx]

Beaches, Hocus Pocus, For the Boys, Outrageous Fortune, Down and out in Beverley Hills, Big Business, Ruthless People, The Rose, Gypsy, The Women, Then She found Me, What Women Want, The First Wives Club, Stepford Wives, Drowning Mona etc etc etc......

[p3fan09]

ok how about you stop trying to impose your beliefs on me and grow up. my 8 year old cousin wouldnt talk to some one like that and niether should you. why do you feel that everyone should hate something just because you do? i have a rite to love bette midler and you have a rite to hate her but dont push your belief on me. try being accepting of all and see where that gets you.

[p3fan09]

i could care less about obama but that is my idol your talking about, i was raised watching her she is the reason i love broadway and have a love for show buisness. you dont go around insulting people's heros that just makes you a jackass. but that could just be my midwest up bringing thats talking here we dont insult people because it's impolite.

[p3fan09]

hey if you dont like her then dont look her up. i hate people who look up people they hate just to comment about how much they hate them just to piss off their fans.

[TheFlavorofTheMonth]

OMFG thats the lady from Hocus Pocus. hahaha

[keleic]

that was a great song she sang in the end. i cant wait for more music from bette. it was funny when she said that ellen wouldnt pay for the band lol i love her rocker moment after she finished the song.

[distanceteam08]

OMG! Bette Midler looks exactly like Joy Behar from "The View" (when she had red hair).. I seriously thought Bette Midler was on the View this whole time.. am i the only one who sees this resemblance??

[xXBetteMidler4evaXx]

She gave me a cuddle. It was such a motherly cuddle. best moment of my life. Love you Bette. This show is the best show there is.

[mcjl232]

even thow im a celine dion fan i love bette midler

[ccm800]

supreme

[monivicky]

Bette y Ellen son las mejores.

[futurehotchickin2009]

Bette is a TRUE entertainer!!! She just has that IT quality

[chilidahwg]

she is the Diva who is not a "Diva", therefore the most worthy of all Divas! Good going and wouldn't she be fun at a BBQ? my most favorite criteria for liking a celebrity, silly, dumb... but true!

[Lowensteinova]

[FuckJesusFuck]

At 6:23 Bette says "I wanted to bring my band but you wouldn't pay for them"

LOL at Ellen's genuinely pissed off face!!

[Renflower3]

[alczyn182]

bette is awesome. enough said, but....her ability to play the ukulele gives her massive bonus points!!

[cabrioglx]

Bette is the absolute best!!! Who else could sound that great and mesmerize the whole damn place with such simplicity and ease. GO BETTE!!!!

[tigersaregreat99]

"I've been rehersing this song for 25 minutes." LOL. "I'm the only one, I'm the only survivor." You are the only one Bette!

You do look fantastic.

[lickyhills1]

bette did this in the uk on loose women!! and i was there, a true legend, pure diva!!!

[brianjondavey]

Bette is the Best!

[billyboylb]

Kinda over Bette. She's not on-board with gay marriage and we've totally supported her. What a dumb bitch.

[stphncrmr]

[stphncrmr]

you're lame

[xxiceskatingbabexx]

Ohhh fantastic!!!

[lyndale16]
