in my job I get to meet (serve that is) celebrities all the time....Dolly is the nicest woman in the world....during a high level catered function in Chicago where rich people were lining up o get their picture taken, she took a break and came in the kitchen to eat with the staff....she would even let us get her a chair....she sat on milk crates, ate her dinner, and talked to us "workin folk" as if there was absolutely no difference between us. bless her realness.
Too bad they never did a film together! Maybe they can find a part for Bette in Dolly's next film "Joyful Noise" with Queen Latifa due out late next year.
Two of my favorite singers, two different singing styles, well, however, when you are as talented as these two genuine ladies, this is what you get, pure magic. Great clip, it is a shame that Bette's series didn't make it, besides the show was lamely written for the Divine Miss M! Dolly and Bette are real people, both ladies are what you see, they put on no fronts, real people in every sense.
i used 2 be obsessed w/ Bette midler now im absoulutely Dolly's biggest fan gunna go c her soon talk bout her at least 20 times a day hey is the full episode on utube?
@ladidacow1 she certainly isn't a shikse! I think you must be the only one who doesn't know she's jewish lol. Streisand, Midler and Miss Carole King the only one's that come to mind when I think of hugely sucessful jewish female mainstream artists... That's quite a specific category, eh?
@mcarthurwallace ya probably thnx for telling me i was just kinda confused how she had a christmas album and she's jewish and i luv bette and streisand! i just rly like to know facts bout my fav singers i know a lot about barbra and cher
What 2 great talents and their voices blend so well togehter, Yes they need to a Duet CD. Put them on CMT Crossroads. Have them play Branson and Dollywood. Have them come to my house. I better stop or I will get in trouble.
@kcovillo me too.. Id buy it on 8-track if I had to - but honestly, both of their voices blend so well not with just each other but many other artists too.... especially dolly.
If you are a Dolly fan like I am, you'll like my band's version of Dolly's song, "Me and Little Andy". Check out our video and you'll see why most folks say we've got the best country band on youtube.
I don't think it's intended in an insulting or bigoted way, considering the huge percentage of Dolly and Bette's respective fanbases who are indeed "queer". IMO, those two, along with Cher, have got to be the biggest "gay divas" of their generation.
I defy any drunk such as myself to not enjoy the hell out of this. Helps if you live in a faraway land, miss home in an abstract way, and if mom had Bette Midler records when you were a boy! (Dolly's performance needs no such precursors!)
Two great icons who became icons because of their voices and personalities. Work so well together. I just dont think the new icons like Madonna shape up. They're too cynicle and over the top sex oriented. They don't have personality, they shape their personality or persona to fit the video image of the song and of the times. So fake.
Madonna was from a different era. The "Material Girl in the Material World" was right in tune with the materialistic, big business '80s; Dolly and Bette emerged during the '60s and '70s when things were more loose and free, when things weren't so over-produced. Hard to imagine Madonna and, say, Whitney Houston sitting around singing together like this, but that's mostly to do with the current times.
I think It would be great, Dolly & Bette out on the Rd together, I think ther would be much singing done tho, But it be a brilliant comady show. Take care
You can download this version of the song from Limewire. I prefer it as Dolly and Bette harmonize so perfectly, and I love both women. Thanks for posting this, tincho!
it's funny how this is such an angsty song and they're singing it all happy-go-lucky... check out patty griffin's original version..it's a million times better
Yeah - this is so strange! Are they all medicated?? And with this ultra conservative family -esque setting, I thought for sure they would have changed the lyrics of "best friend who is a queer" but they didn't!
Is that the guy from 'Gimme Gimme Gimme' on the piano?!
