The Wind Beneath My Wings: Bette Midler Live in 2008

[nikki6639]

this song goes out to my mom who i love very much and who is my hero

[kanisornt]

i miss you dad. you are my hero.

[clarkjkent1984]

This is DREADFUL!! I much prefer the original on Beaches.

[BaPa13]

Wow. Compared to Sonata Arcticas version, this is not bad but it can never match SA's cover.

[bettemidlerules1945]

@BaPa13 bettes the one that got the hit out of it not that band who i never really heard of so in reality better version is much better and more popular

[carlitamagali5058]

Increíble estas canción.... me encanta... ♥

[Vermont12685]

Stiflers Mum!!!

[walts1fan]

Bette became "a Diva" after first reigning as one of the original "bad girls". She spoke of this in her recent Vegas show, which included some naughty photos, songs and jokes which reflected that era of her career. The "sluts and ass shakers" of tomorrow will be even more extreme than "Beyonce, Lady Gaga etc." Too bad these talented women and their management feel they have to do such extreme stuff to get noticed.

Bette looks marvelous. Her voice is still as great as ever!.

[XxJustinxx88]

This woman looks better with age!

[benjijaramillo]

lo del presente y el paso es la verdad pero en lo que si tiene razon es que antes mas valia la voz y la letra que deleitaba a la gente y ahora es mas el show y lo que pueden mostrar ojo me gusta todo tipo de musica tengo 27 años pero lo que es es y hay que reconocerlo...

[Persephone240]

I came here to listen to the song I love from a singer that I love. Sadly, I see people rip on other artists as if they are unworthy; however these people are not qualified to even pass juedgement. Music speaks to everyone and everyone has thier favorites. To pass judgement on others only makes you look bad...time to reflect on your own feelings of self hate.

[ch2loe23]

OMG: this s0ng has meaning with me.. :)

[NaxxoZL15]

thumb up if you though if this song was from SONATA ARCTICA XD

[petswriter]

An idiotic, choppy, emotionless dance routine that did nothing to interpret the lyrics or the meaning of one of the most beautiful songs ever written, performed by one of the best singers of all time. I'm glad this bleached Barbie doll enjoyed herself by awkwardly flaunting around in an ostrich costume to "Wind Beneath my Wings." What a disgrace to a beautiful song. I've seen a 12-year-old put more meaning and emotion into a dance interpretation. WTH is that lift at the end? Just horrible....

[StollyDolly]

beautiful song ... thank you xxx

[j0807m]

1:11 - 1:41 - lyrics and performance... HEAVENLY. The rest is just bland..

[TheBeans8u]

hang in there grandad, ill always look up to you

[clowexx]

hey, shes from hocus pocus! loveeee that movie. <3

[flightsim10]

it should be... "You are the low pressure regions above my wings"

[kstenbroeke]

I give you wings.. but you need to learn to fly all by yourself... you choose the direction... I will not influence it...

so beautiful...

[TheReelsofJoy]

I Love this Song...So Beautiful. I tears me up every time I hear it. A constant reminder of my Best Friend who is no longer here. I miss her dearly and she was indeed everything Beautiful. My heart is smiling and I thank you so very much for posting. Have a peaceful day. (TheReelsofJoy)

[eiguajardo]

Bette Midler, Liza Minelli, Barbara Straisand, the true genuine Divas

[SaltSlasher]

I thought better midler was just a bad actress,

I never knew she was a bad singer also.

[starinthesky09]

this song brings back so many memories and sad ones at that as it was my nanna's favorite song and we sadly lost her in 2009 and this was the song we played at the church for her funeral

[USAsoccergirl]

The first time i listened to this was when my music teacher started crying:(It was sad.

[ArteDian1]

Now I believe life is beautiful..It's worth living if you just listen to this Vocal. I'm not afraid anymore..life is wonderful

[retbookers]

No one but you Bette. I LOOOOOOVE YOUUUU !!!! =')

[RoyFan33]

My friends boyfriend sang this song at a karaoke bar right before he deployed; he had his cell in his pocket so my friend could listen. "This song is for someone I love, who cannot be here today."

I am sad. ;A; so sweet and such a moving song.

[marmik961]

They sang this in Boy Meets World.

[kezza19611]

no dancers needed i agree!

[Bdawg9891]

this is Dancing with the Stars...Not Strictly Come Dancing

[marvelitesxmen]

@Bdawg9891 It's Strictly come dancing, it's the British Panel, than you very much. Get your facts right.

[Bdawg9891]

@marvelitesxmen They have the same set...it's an easy mistake. Get a life...and a dictionary

[marvelitesxmen]

@Bdawg9891 I only made one mistake, by missing out a K. And your telling me to get a life an a dictionary?

[yukiplus]

3:29 I came!

[yukiplus]

3:06 Flyyyyy.......FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYY!!!!

[wyomingomnimedia]

i though this song was about farts



[yukiplus]

@wyomingomnimedia Maybe about queefs?

[SuperBnichols]

when singers voices go they talk instead of sing

[yukiplus]

@SuperBnichols Nice!

[ThePaperrosie]

Sasha will be dancing with the best!!!!

[carlykayoh7]

love this song she not the best at singing it x

[elrichloe273]

The song is nice but why is there is dancers... Hate it!!!(the dancers)

[elrichloe273]

like it

[daisyplayer]

FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!

[marypierce1909]

well, her voice is just .... 3 of 5.

[lorryxable]

Would love to dedicate this song to my mom..... I love you and miss you!

[keslyn3z]

Lovr you....

[browndog461]

Listen to Sheena Easton. there's room for both in the world.

[mardonorte100]

Cada vez que ouço esta música penso na minha mãe, que criou três filhos com muito amor e carinho. Continua a ser a minha inspiração e sei que, lá no alto, bem longe, afaga-me com carinho. Amo-te, Mãe!

[Nzingha551]

nobody can match her with this song.. the best ever version!

[LindaJ46]

She is Unique inher Style and grace she was black balled but she still a wonderful performer and no one should be treated as she was she is a teriffic actress also

[huntercock1989]

this song is never changes our life like a flying bird

[Carlos3ac]

She is unique! A true treasure. Love her so much, I wish with all my strenghs see her once in my life

[5284360]

Amazing!

[sanson141]

vanessa sang it better, WOW!

[Ev13jA02]

Gracias por: La Canción, su letra, su música, sus autores, sus interpretes y a ti Bette Middler, por hacerme soñar cada vez que oigo tu voz.

[lindamelov]

I cry always when I hear this song. I dedicate this song to my parents. You are the wings beneath my wings, thank God for you, for loving me and not spoiling me, raising me to be the person that I am today. Thank you dad for your abundant love.

[dfelicedalton]

I miss this kind of integrity in music artists today. Beyonce, Lady Gaga, etc, you will all never be as iconic as artists like Bette Midler, Belinda Carlsette, Stevie Nicks, Melissa Ethridge, Carly Simon, Carol King. . . The cookie cutter stuff they have today is all nothing but CRAP! . . . All the original said Divas need to come back and show all the sluts and ass shakers how it is supposed to be done.

[IIIBartman]

@dfelicedalton I love this song, but you can shove your head up your ass if you want to start slandering other music types.

[prettitalented]

@dfelicedalton you didn't mention any blk people wow

[KAKTUVARADANIKTU2]

@dfelicedalton SHE IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED ACTRESSES OF OUR TIME.

GOD BLESS HER.

BETTE IS A GODESS, AND THE SONG IS A MIRACLE

[amicusnemini]

@dfelicedalton oh shut the fuck up

[donala5051]

@dfelicedalton Amen you know that is so the truth,I love all the old songs that was real music.

[Jacone10]

@dfelicedalton Do you know how cliche you sound? Beyonce's voice is far from crap, so don't kick dirt on her name.

[yukiplus]

@dfelicedalton THAT WAS VERY DEEP!!!!!

[hutchisoncm]

@dfelicedalton I couldn't agree with you more. The music today by the likes of Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Rhiana is all about how little they wear nowadays because there is so much competition nowadays. Female artists nowadays get on stage wearing next to nothing and they all behave like sluts. None of them has what it takes to keep a career going 3 or 4 decades or the incredible voice that Bette has.

[kowalsky111]

@dfelicedalton just dont watch mtv and get into real music and you ll be fine with todays music

[ericyu2270]

@dfelicedalton move on dude

[face999]

@dfelicedalton Well said. Music today is crap in comparison

[Cohzaku]

I said something on a forum somewhere, that there was more originality and beauty in music back when, instead of every singer trying to make their own unique songs, they all had their own interpretations of beautiful standards and classics.

Barbra Streisand, Peggy Lee, and many others all sang the same songs, but each version has something unique and beautiful and incomparable to it. And yet, now-a-days, everyone 'works' to have their own unique sound, and yet all the songs sound the same.

[Persephone240]

@dfelicedalton Well everyone has their favorites...obviously. Lady Gaga and Beyonce are icons of the present. Belinda Carlisle, Stevie Nicks, and the rest are icons from the past. It all depends if you are stuck in the past or can conform to change. All are worthy of appreciation.

[bronxboy1952]

Many years ago, I worked with a high school principal who epitomized this song. He put his faculty in the front and gave them all the credit in the world for the success that the school enjoyed under his administration. He truly was the wind beneath our wings. Jerry, we miss you more today than ever, Thank you do much for all you did for us and for YOUR school.

[KenFK2]

Didn't know Iain & Debbie had been taking dancing lessons!

[cable2006h]

I have heard many different versions of this beautiful song....but.....Bette owns this!!!! Always makes me cry hearing it...love you Bette and thank you for singing this for and to us

[ZKELWELL]

Bette midler was so sexyyy still isss ; ) get at me bette!

[frenchne]

What in the name of the Devil are those effing dancers doing there?!! It's deeply insulting to a lady who doesn't need help. The producer should be shot.

[Jaynejetson]

This song reminds me of how I felt about my late husband. 

[MrTruck552]

this is a nice song

[icylips69]

sobeautiful song makes my tears go down on my face xxx

[SpartanKingOnverser]

Who were the 24 people who disliked? I mean REALLY?

[Evangelander]

I loved the song and Bette singing it, but the dancers were not that good, quite out of place and distracting.

[CatboxDesign]

Legend



[hancar]

I love Bette, always have, always will!

[theoriginalpoobum]

This is G.A.Y.

[yukiplus]

@theoriginalpoobum 3:18 Bette:......THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

[koesa1128]

Fabulous'll cry

[shannooooonx]

[mickeychey5]

Beautiful Bette



[MrSexyDaddy69]

This such a beautiful song! It's beyond inspirational. YOU GO GIRL!!!!

[bxhonegirl10469]

loved Bette's "Wind" especially the touch on the end of the song.

[QueenieBeenie123]

Reminds me of my Grandma!-3

[squarewindows]

this song is dedicated to my teacher. she's always been there for me. she's amazing :)

[20tiger]

Perfect wedding song :)

[ceeceesrevenge33]

[MsSkibereen]

I posted this on FB tonight as a tribute to my hero,,,,my wonderful Father who died 3 years ago today - thank you Dad - I love you so much and Bette Midler - beautiful ♥

[911peeps]

she sounds like shes telling a story, its amazing. well i heard of this song because famous singer Jennifer Pena did a cover of it, & i just wanted to here the original singer, i dedicate this song to my grandma

[storm7heaven]

One of my favourite songs, timeless like Bette.

[MarioFabris1]

[ManderbearzZ6]

[gaga10ish1]

[phalluses]

vaginas in the air

[phalluses]

vaginas in the air

[phalluses]

damn that vagina making millions off of these mindless idiots.

[SCRWOOD]

wow! she is so the lady to sing this song.

[ichbingott4510]

Still has that amazing voice

[luckyinleland]

great song always remind me of my Mattie Humphrey

[StevanLloyd]

Why is there dancers? Bette owns the stage... No room for anyone else!

[ch112063]

@StevanLloyd When I first saw the celebrity, pro, dance competition I almost had to turn it off because of the total disrespect for some really super artists who lived the highest levels of success. from talent that had to ruined so a living could be made.Let's see, Santana, Meat Loaf, and jazz, contemporary, and country legends who saw better days, probably got a great fee but performing only the intro or one verse and a chorus before they were placed in the background. Disrespectful. Agree.

[StevanLloyd]

@StevanLloyd and you lot should also check out my singing! :) Not as good as bette obviously! ha

[COYOTE165A]

@StevanLloyd i agree great performance as always

[welshnum1mum]

@StevanLloyd because the tv show she is on is called come dancing, so they have to plug it by putting some of there dancers on stage with bette but i dont think it spoils her sining in any way

[cat625able]

Once upon a time I ws somebodies hero and I held them up .They said I was this song .Bette you are a great singer and I love this song.Cathy

[lauryn0599]

John Boyd a great Husband great Dad great Pa Pa and great Great Pa Pa died 10th February 2011 we love you miss you and you will never be forgotten always in our dreams and in our thoughts oh love you so much cant stop the tears pray you have no more pain love you forever x x x x x

[BB56799]

dedicated to my Raye2. My hero :)

[gjm1953]

I was asked by the family of a friend to sing this at his funeral. I learned it and rehearsed two or three times with the organist until I had it cold. And yet, when it came time to sing it in the church, I nearly blew it because I got choked up. The words just got to me. Still, being asked was one of the proudest and, at the same time, most humbling experiences of my life.

[BETTEMIDLER1945161]

bette midler is my number one singer and actress in the world and she will be number one for the rest of my life

[izzy2liz]

I dedicate this beautiful song to my wonderful mother, she was a great hard working person and never let me down and no one in this world could of done the best job as she did ... take care of us mom love you forever and always .................

[62diosdado]

she is a good artist and singer.I love the was she sings.... very touching

[peterdella1]

absolutely gorgeous still love you Divine Ms M.

[heyday2mayday]

Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.. Oscar Wilde

[supermum53]

@sunflower54ful..You just gotta ring him or write him..I never got the chance to tell my dad that, but every time I hear this song I think of him! DO IT NOW :)

[sunflower54ful]

very good song

[jurbinsky77]

How can I tell my old father that he is my hero?

HIs hearing and eyesight are failing.

He was a hero in the last world war.

A born leader, with only little education, he led a squad

He taught them fire control and calmness during the firefight

I am 9 thousand miles away but never a day passed without me thinking of him.

My father, my hero.

[nicecindy70]

WOW, this song gets me everytime I hear it!!! I love it BUT was my ex best friend's and my song she dedicated to me and we don't talk cuz an ex boyfriend destroyed our friendship...

[ami7mina]

This song makes me cry... I haven't heard this song in years. but I get all teary eyed just hearing it now.

[pinkierrx1]

mum your song....missing you so much..till we meet again xxx

[ponygirl007007]

This was the song dedicated to my aunt when she died of cancer. this is a beautiful song and I love you my Aunt Dot. you were truly the wind beneath my wings.

[EnterHisRest1]

THE EAGLES WINGS THAT SAVED THIS CHOSEN GENERATION- DR. YUNI FLAKES- SHE'S ISAIAH 62- WE DID IT YUNI- I AINT DEAD YET...GIVE HIM GLORY

[paladonperry]

[jennie101364]

You song at my wedding ..ty wind beneath my wings..my momma gave me away..ty again

[curleebeth]

Bette Midler only gets more beautiful with age and so does her voice. I love her so much. She is my idol and I hope to be just like her one day(:

[graeva]

I thought the dancers were wonderful, enhanced the singer and the song...

[dpataska]

This Song Does And Always Will Be My Ex-Girlfriend's Kori And I Song! I Love You Kori! Forever And Always! To Many Awesome Times We've Had!

[tiwieFat6]

Even at her age, She's still got it!!!!

[lourg]

Dancers are lame, Beth is great singer!!!!!!!!!! I play this song almost every night, my Mom is sick so cry :(

[tiwieFat6]

@lourg Your mom is sick?

[kaiser66001]

what a singer Bet Midler my god where are all those singers gone. Those voices

with meaning and compassion, Instead we have those singers without feeling

or commitment just a loud noise with no message. Why do we settle for second best

music and singers we are more intelligent. All they are thinking of is putting money

in there pockets.

[Billymaysfan6837]

@kaiser66001

Yeah, to hell with rap and pop

[pLaInAnDsAnEfUl]

everyone is talking about funerals and stuff :( so sad

[isarose1]

ugh! i love and HATE this song it was played at my brothers funeral :(

[145eddieb]

That is beautiful

[schaetzeleinMA]

soooo beautiful .. Thank U so much Bette Midler for giving us this song! God bless you.

[Brighteyes1ful]

Well sung and well choreographed some silly beggars complaining can you believe it, some people are never satisfied..............10*****­*****

[djr320]

I love the original version, I don't know why some artists massacre their own songs when they sing it live??

Different isn't always better.

[atolm1]

@djr320 Completely agree, i love this song so much in its original arrangement. I dont care for this reworking of it at all. My guess is the "new" arrangement is to compensate for a decline in vocals from the time the original was recorded.

[barbieau85]

excellent that she doesn't seek her own fame but shares the lights with others it takes a truely humble heart to care for another...Don't you think?

[Funkygurl199]

This song was played at my grandmothers funeral a few weeks ago :( .R.I.P

[SFFL1996]

@Funkygurl199 Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear that. My mom passed away earlier this year. It's hard at first, but you get through it day by day.

[PsychoGamer1986]

this song was played at my grandfather's funeral 20 years ago

[jacobstoner3]

i heard this song today :)

[mmpaulmm]

i agree..scrap the dancing monkeys...bette can hold a stage no problem

[RelativeBadger]

What a stupid performance with half rated gay dancing

[1943AngelEyes]

I will never forget the first time I saw the Movie with Bette Midler THE ROSE. I cried through most of it and also was able to relate to all parts of the movie and the song. I don't believe anyone besides Bette could ever sing this song with as much passion except MR ELVIS PRESLEY.Now He could sing this song and the emotion he would be able to place in the song would go beyond Bette I believe but then he can outsing anyone. Love Bette Midler she was wonderful as the actress in all of her films.

[cupcake749]

Bette Midler Is my AUNT!!!

[fmgsampaloc]

Bette Midler and Joy Behar are twins! I sometimes could not tell who is who. They look like twin sisters.

[ConnerPlainLiving]

We needed this song. Thank you. We just lost someone we love very much.

[c0nman4]

YIKES DYKES!

[moroney1]

tht weird wobbly thing she always does with her arms when she performs this song ruins it I think
