@TheyDidItForTheBoys ~ As it happens, she was suffering from pneumonia and had a temperature of 104 when this was filmed, and she's STILL the best live performer on the planet!
I guess that Bette does not include the part of the medley where she simulates losing her virginity - 06,45 - 07,20 - with the Harlettes simulating a BJ in the background, in her current Las Vegas shows!! Priceless. LOL.
wow my sister said that same thing about an hour ago. weird lol. Jeese I love this song. Us three sisters used to sit on chairs in a line and dance and sing to it when we were little. God I miss those days. bette rocks!!
the version on the soundtrack to this movie is better than this performance. i don't understand why they chose this over the soundtrack version. she obviously had the flu.. so why not wait until she's better??
Back in the day ur best Bette!

She sounds sick.

She was sick. She had a 102 degree fever and bronchitis. Poor girl. She did a great job!

It would be great if she showed up at Giants Stadium and they did a duet of this song!! Just my pipe dream.
