My name is Marty. I’m a 69-year old attorney and I live in Louisville Kentucky. I have been a fan of Bette Midler since she released her first record.

Nobody has been able to sing this song as Bette Midler does. This song is timeless and the emotion in which she vocalizes this song will never be duplicated in my opinion.

Why is it, that there is always someone cutting onions whenever i hear this? Any Time, Day or Night, on the Radio, on record, at work, closing time in a Pub . . . I can't help to get my eyes wet. And i'm not even the biggest Fan. She conquered our HEARTS with that Song. ❤❤❤THANK YOU, BETTE❤❤❤

Bette does this song in a way where the joy in her voice tempers the sadness. I've heard beautiful versions but it will always be her song.

I sang this in front of my whole junior high school back in 83.

If she had only done one thing in her life, this would have cemented her in everyone's memory.

the one who is listening to this song in this quarantine year, I love you

She still sings this song also better than anyone else, love you Bette, you have the most beautiful voice

Her voice is so powerful and gentle beauty combined. Bette is a favorite performer of mine. Singing as well as acting.

No other can sing this song like her. This song is literally created for her to bring to life.

Bette Midler- beautiful, stunning, absolutely exquisite. And of course THE ROSE a masterpiece that continues to touch hearts world wide. How can you not love this amazing lady? A true professional. Love you Bette, thanks for the music, the laughs. Your a true gem that just keeps shining. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

This is one of very few songs that literally sends shivers down my spine when I hear it

I chose this song for my moms funeral,as her name was Rose. Any song with the word Rose she adored,Yellow rose of Texas,Rambling Rose,The Rose Crackeling Rosie,she loved this song.

Some say love, it is a river That drowns the tender reed Some say love, it is a razor That leaves your soul to bleed Some say love, it is a hunger An endless aching need I say love, it is a flower And you, its only seed It's the heart, afraid of breaking That never learns to dance It's the dream, afraid of waking That never takes the chance It's the one who won't be taken Who cannot seem to give And the soul, afraid of dying That never learns to live When the night has been too lonely And the road has been too long And you think that love is only For the lucky and the strong Just remember in the winter Far beneath the bitter snows Lies the seed that with the sun's love In the spring becomes the rose

I am speechless really, I don't know how to praise this performance, there are no words to describe the charm of this. This is magically magical. I just found out the movie. I watched it when I was 7 or something when it was aired at late evening, then I forgot about it and could not find it for years. ChatGPT helped me to find the movie again. And I found out this performance. Oh my god. this performance is breathtaking, jawdropping, tearshedding and inspiring. For years I did not feel so inspired by music. To a point I almost believed music cannot work on me anymore. Thanks to this I was wrong. Bette you are amazing, amazing amazing woman. ************** If I could send you a thousand of hearts, a milion Roses, I would.

I'll never tire of hearing this rendition of the Rose by Bette Midler, it's the most beautiful.

No matter how many times listen this I cry . No reason the dancing was great.

That is the most beautiful song ever recorded by a beautiful talented singer. Bette Midler just delivered a pure raw classy act, singers today could not perform like that absolutely unbelievable timeless.

This is her song. Wonderful, beautiful and emotional. The perfect match of singer and song.

She respects and love the dancer. Bette is one of the few who are not self centered. Dolly Parton is also like this. Singers who really cares about people! Bette and Dolly have my full respect! They are so good at what they are doing!

Bette.... I'm a 64 year old gay man. I discovered you years ago when I found your HBO Special "Devine Madness" and I was changed forever. No performer has ever matched the magic you create on stage. Thanks for all the music, joy, comedy and tears.

What a voice. I could listen to Bette sing forever.

BRAVO. That entire movie was fabulous.

No one has ever and will never sing this song like this. Divine.

This is not only a song! This is something special! When I hear it, I have to stop working or something else and listen. With tears in my Eyes I turn the volume louder and listen. WONDERFUL!!!

The Rose was written and sung by singer-songwriter, actress Amanda McBroom. It hit the charts when it was sung by the Divine Miss M for the movie by the same name. It was based loosely on the life of Janis Joplin. Bette Midler sung it so hauntingly beautiful. Nobody (imho) has performed it better not even the songwriter.

She can bring a chill with the first verse .. such a beautiful voice .. a beautiful song.

Love this lady! She is wonderful at interpreting any song. Her ability to do so brings the song to life. Not every singer can do this. Miss Bette can and does!🎤🥰🎼

What can I say?Bette Midler is just simply the best,hopefully we will have another one like her soon?Doubted?All the best for your retirement life,Bette.Proud to be one of your fans

I get tears every time I hear this song!

I watched the film ‘the rose’ when I was 18, I have sung this song to my children and to my grand children, I hope one day to sing it to my great grandchildren, and I think when the day comes It will be my funeral song xx

I played The Rose at my dads funeral. Still cry when I hear it.

Bette Midler, I love the song The Rose! Thank you for singing it and giving it special meaning. My friend, Rose, and I were goofing around on her karaoke microphone, when I decided to give it a shot and sang that song. Thank you Bette! God bless you.

Just amazing...that song sung by Bette cannot be duplicated. #1 always!!

A perfect song for someone who doesn't want to live any linger. Like me.

Sie ist eine großartige Schauspielerin miss Bette Midler ich bin Fan von ihr wunderfuly sie ist eine LEGENDE ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I was 16 years old and this song reminds me of my first love , my love for many years the father of my children, breaks my heart for all the wonderful memories, my husband pass 8 years a go and miss him so much , God Blessed

I saw her in Seattle in 1999 and again in Tacoma, Wa. about 15 years later. She and her music are still relevant today. Touches your inner self and tells your story. TheDivine Miss M, keeps singing, we need your music

ベッド・ミドラーさんの名演で歌い継がれた名曲で、当時の小生はこのアルバムに入っていた「ミッドナイトインメンフィス」が大好きで夜中を車で大音量でリッスンしながらクルージングして青春を謳歌していました。懐かしいくて涙溢れます。涙腺崩壊。

I lost my dad nearly a month ago from dementia. I was lucky enough to be beside him in the last few days of his life. I miss him so much. This reminds me of him. ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹

You are the only one who can sing that like you do. Thank you 🙏

She has always been the most inspiring women I have ever seen I love this women I'm so greatful that I grew up in this time. Thank you

So this just popped up while I was about to meditate. The cry I just had was so beautiful and so profound. This song is beyond.

This song makes me cry, smile, and remember everyone I ever loved at the same time. I can't explain it.

She is an icon. Beautiful inside and sings like an angel.

Stands the test of time. Beautiful sung, so beautiful.

This is such a beautiful song.🌹

❤❤❤❤Hope” is commonly used to mean a wish : its strength is the strength of the person's desire. But in the Bible hope is the confident expectation of what God has promised and its strength is in His faithfulness.

For my beloved Fairy Child, whose precious heart now has arrows that missed their mark ... Hold close this Divine Winter song - to remind you that the Summer will again come. And with it, the Sun, to shine on our darling seed ~ who has been so brave and so strong for so very long. And she will see that she is, was, and always will be the magnificent rose with the purest of Souls, who we all love so very, very deeply 🌹

I can't stop smiling and singing along!

Ummmmm. This the most beautiful love melody of all time. # thank you Bette Midler for The Rose #

I had a LP of Bette's when I was 20 years old, thats now 50 years ago, she was always one of the best.

Thank you very much for this song. It is one of the songs that tear me me up when I hear it. She sang that very beautifully.

What a voice! It is so pure and honest! People will say what they want about the divine Miss M! She is such a talent!❤️🌹

How could someone not love The Divine 🎀Bette Miller🌺🌺🌺

Played this at My brothers funeral he loved this one always makes me cry

Why do i cry why why i am 40 and i cry oh i know i am still human thank you

it is 2020 when I am locked down and Ms Better is still a soul refresher......

Had my near-death motorcycle accident here in New Zealand in 1990 when I was 26. My injuries were horrific. Ultimately I lost my entire left leg as high as possible; correct term is hemipelvectomy - my hip and left pelvis was amputated. Spent 3 weeks in the ICU [intensive care unit] of 2 hospitals and a total of 101 days in hospital. I suffered several serious internal injuries as well. Lost count of the number of scars. Ever since I have suffered chronic nerve pain [neuromas - groups of nerves] around the stump area even though there is no stump. Pain is controlled via an extreme cocktail of meds including the strongest legally prescribed opiates and a high dose. Tried everything to control the pain - you name it I've tried it. Currently I am attempting to wean off an anti depressant - this could be the start of a new 'me' hopefully. So to Bette Midler's song 'The Rose'. Yep...one of a very few that stirs my soul to the point of weeping. So Bette Midler - thank you thank you thank you for providing the BEST pain relief therapy of all. Your song stirs this germ's emotions to the limit. Love is indeed; THE ROSE.

The Rose movie, only Bette could do such a great job.

In my esteem, God brings together the right vocalist and melody and lyric...to create undeniable beauty that transcends throughout time.

I've seen Bette on the stage three times and she's always just fantastic. Truly an American treasure. There's a richness in her voice that's most moving.

mum and dad brought the record home after watching the film in Burnie Tasmania. I fell in love with her voice and have loved it ever since.

I dedicate this song to Kelly who gained her wings too early in 2020 xxxx

Ive watched her for years and absolutely adore her! You’re an amazing person Bette.

Love Bette Midler her acting and singing ❤️❤️

Vous avez tous raisons personne ne peut chantez cette chanson mieux qu' elle c est ca chanson elle est éternelle et chaque fois que je l écoute elle m amène toujours autant d émotion et de bien etre

私が愛したシンガーの一人です。そしてこの曲は心に残る曲でした。 She is one of my favorid singer!. And this was the song I was so impressed.

Incomparable woman, incomparable performer, incomparable song ... thank you, Bette.

Beautiful. The Rose.🌹 Great singer. Great song. 💎🌷🕊

I was sitting in a hotel lounge back in the late summer of 1981and a small band was playing there from Youngstown, Ohio. The lead singer was a young lady who sang this song and she did it beautifully. I never forgot that even though it was well over forty years ago. I wonder where she is today.

Love this song every time I hear I get goose bumps

What a beautiful and meaningful song.

The woman who composed this in ten minutes was Amanda McBroom. She thought of the lyrics as she was driving down the freeway. Rushed into her home and went to the piano and had it all music and lyrics in ten minutes.

In a word, outstanding. And she looks beautiful.

I can't stand Bette Midler, but when she hits one it goes out of the park. No one will ever do this song better.

A song of life ☘️💗

I love this song. I don't think I ever heard a more beautiful song. This song is so touching.

Always Divine..First saw her live at NYC Continental Baths...Two years later at a NYE Concert at Dorothy Chandler Pavillion, LA....THANK YOU BETTE...

Soft as butter. Beautiful.

What a gift! She is just marvelous. I enjoyed some of her films. Great artist!❤😊

This was my middle son's favorite song when he was a little boy. He would ask me to sing the song to him. He never grew tired of hearing it.

I remember singing this one evening with the father of the landlord of a Welsh pub...he was a member of a local choir.. He sung the lead and I the counterpoint...while playing guitar..and my Brother on keyboards ....there was not a dry eye in the house! ...

God bless her what a beautiful woman and her voice is so beautiful thank you

Used to sing this to my daugther to sleep up till she was 4, she loves it, and she's 19 we sing along together now.

Bette! Just watched a video of you singing 'The Rose' on stage w/a lovely dancer as you sang--I apologize--I hadn't heard or seen you for a length of time..but I just want you to know that you brought great joy to so many of us with your wonderful voice, singing, acting! Thank you so! You are one of my favorite entertainers of ALL time! I hope you are well and content! Thank you again Bette Midler!

My Nana's funeral a few years back. I miss her so much :'(

To my Mom, and Dad, I Love and Miss you, much. Love your daughter Jeanette

The Devine Miss Bette, this song is a give of love to all your fans . You dont need to add anything to it to make it amazing. Just you , yourself, and your amazing voice. Thank you for an amazing performance.

I am an irish girl. And i love this Song.

She is a queen! And added so much to our history. That voice. She made us who we are.

Always an uplifting message from the Divine Miss M…!!!

Brings a tear to my eye every time ❤

Que hermosura poderla compartir contigo ❤❤❤❤amigo de Kentuky 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Such a beautiful song 🌹♥️🎤♥️♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️🌟♥️

I remember seeing this movie at the drive in theatre when I was about 10 years old and thinking what a wonderful song I am now in my fifties and it bring back so many wonderful memories thank u Beth ❤️

This is the first time I've watched this video, but as usual, every time I hear you sing this song, I cry uncontrollably. My first child, a daughter, was due on March 14th, but died intrauterine (stillbirth). I delivered her on Jan 4 and she was buried on Jan 7. I always play this song on those dates, because it fit. "Just remember, in the winter (Jan 4, Jan 7), far beneath the bitter snows, lies the seed that with the suns love, in the spring (Mar 14) becomes the rose." There is a lamb and a rose on her headstone. Thank you Bette!

There’s only one Bette Midler what an amazing gift she has in her voice

this is the best song ever writthen, the text is just grate.
