I went to a benefit for AIDS she hosted in a small theater in Westwood. Cher and others were there but when everyone was gone she was cleaning up and I told her I would help. She is so real, humble and kind. She is also tiny. Fortunately most entertainers are kind but some take it to another level. She is one of those.

She was almost 70 by this time yet she was amazing, saw the tour which followed and the best experience of my life! She sang all live, her voice was in perfect shape and she was really funny! Met her after and she was engaging and lovely! She didn’t write her songs, but her interpretation of them are amazing! This special is beautifully done!

Bette keeps getting better and better, she still got it, the looks, the voice and the body. Like many others commented, I didn't know this existed until I happened upon it as I was looking on KZfaq for something to watch today, and I found this masterpiece. Thank you Bette Midler for sharing your God given talent with the world!

Bette Midler. The Devine Miss M. Is that rear beautiful spark that shine's so Bright. She only becomes more bright as time moves forward. Yes. The Devine M. Has the insight of being her true beautiful self. Coming to New York from the shores of the small Hawaiian Islands. Where she was born. She made a name for herself In the always glamour halls of the gay bathhouses. Sharping her craft for the brave men is only bath towels. And sometimes when the towels fell away. She knew she had fans in bath towels for her in tired life. I only can say. What a Incredible Dame miss M is still today. Winning the Tony for her magically performance on stage in Hello Dolly. I love you Bette. Thank you for giving me and the world you. DC Mathisen. Sacramento CA

It's so funny to see Bette Midler interviewed by the wonderful Dame Joanna Lumley! I have ALWAYS wanted Bette Midler & Barbra Streisand to do an American 'version' of 'Absolutely Fabulous' with Midler as Edina and Streisand as Patsy. Now, I know they've never worked together (and I don't know if they like each other) but I think the two of them together would be BRILLIANT!

I've seen each major (& minor) gig she's had, from her first "big" one - New Year's Eve at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion '75/'76, to Divine Madness concerts at the Pasadena Civic, to New Year's Eve '99/''00 at Mandalay Bay and beyond, Sure, there are singers with better voices, but nobody performs a song as well as she does. She owns her music choices and commands a stage like few others are able to do. This television special could only be shown in Europe. Network television in America wouldn't allow her risqué jokes. The only sub-par performance I've seen was at Paul Simon's charity event in NY, but she still rose above the unfortunate set-up and delivered.
