Free Agent, she can sing the phone book, the news paper, she is the greatest singer in my lifetime, no one can move people like she does, I can listen to this one over & over and never get tired of it, but by her only, she makes this song more beautiful than anyone, just like her other songs she just knows how to sing a song where you really sit & listen, she amazes me more than any singer.
This amazing woman turns 70 years old next month. She's been belting out tunes for longer than most of us have been alive. She is, simply, DIVINE! God Bless Bette for entertaining us for so long. She always leaves it all out on the stage.
The LAST but the BEST live version ever. I hope I can cross the street at seventy let along the blessing of those windpipes! (talking the lungs, of course)
Such an incredible voice with so much emotion! My wife and i saw her in concert in St.Petersburg Florida on our honeymoon 25 years ago. She was awesome!
My God she is simply STUNNING! !!! What a powerful performance! When she sings this anthem of sorts,you know she's speaking from experience .She continues to be , at 70 years young, as profoundly fabulous as she has ever been. Love you Bette. And damn if she didn't hit most of the high notes! Brilliant!
I have a playlist of all of Bette’s songs on my Apple Music and I have listened to that same playlist for the past two months I just learned that bette was a singer after hocus pocus 2 came out I am nineteen almost twenty that’s why I am just discovering her music but I enjoy it very much
Bette really built that song up to the end. She is the most amazing performer...the best ive ever seen ...i saw her 5 times whwn she came to australia :) the best
So many tragically lost to HIV/AIDS. This particular version always destroys me because she was there, too, and lost even more friends than I did. It's a kind of shared pain she has with our community that few can really comprehend unless they experienced that dark time. It not only changes the meaning and the feel of the song but changes the person as well. Forever.
Geez that brings a tear to my eye!! What passion, awesome voice and sung so sincere! Thats whys she is Divine! She pulls my heartstrings. Im in Australia and know i wont see her live! Great post....Thanks
She is a gift from the heavens and we are blessed that we have enjoyed this incredible talent in all she does. I dread the day when we will get bad news. Thank you Bette…you are simply amazing. No other artist can pull this off at 69.
Bette Midler walked in to my life on August 5th 1980. At Sunset Sound Studios .. She introduced herself to me and shook my hand saying hi I'm Bette . I just Bought a house she went on to say to me ...
She is more than amazing, she is the greatest singer, no one can sing like her with that much emotion, she belts out the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, and I have been around music since I was a baby, not kidding, my mother listened to classical & musicals my whole life, I have some of her musicals, and some others of mine, over 300 albums, over 300 singles
I have been admiring her for a long time for her being a wonderful, fabulous performer, as well as the advocate to restore those abandoned parks in NYC for many years! She is so powerful & she brought me to tears....as I just lost mom last month.... I've been in a dark place ever since her passing! I don't know how I get my strength when dealing with all the problems with my health, finance & loss on my mom..... Her passionate performance.... singing her heart out, raw emotion was touching & comforting more than anything I experienced since mom died... Thanks to Ms. M.! I love you!(^^)(^^)
I play this everday such deep soul hammond organist jams just brings out a diffrrent emotion EVERY DAY for me today she was on Ellen wish Ellen had given hrr more time thanks from the bottom of my heart and thensome Bette!!
Unfortunely tickets to this concet in Seattle were so expensive (even the nose bleed section) I could not afford to see one of my all time idols. So I tried to comfort myself with the fact I'd seen Bette in concert 3 times before in LA and in WA . Watching this, I wish I could have afforded the price to experince her mature reading of this song.
+57timmyb It seems all those acts that in the 70's that at the most cost 10.50 a Ticket to see 2 or 3 of are reaping vengeance upon their fans now. I found that out when Cher was doing her fake Retirement Tour and it was my wife 40th birthday and that was her teen; Cher. Damn near had to take a loan on the house but went to see her in Cleveland, which being close to the R&R Hall of Fame was kinda cool Unfortunately the seats I ended up with were not as close as I thought but it was the thought that counts I suppose. I enjoyed it because she did.
Free Agent, also me too on the fact if I can walk & still remember as well as she does at that age, I will be happy, she is just the most amazing performer in my lifetime, she is just an amazing person period, love her so much
I saw a Bette Midler that no one else did . I was with this woman . this woman spent a lot of time with me. she asked me where are you from ? smiling at me . I told her I was from Friendly Maryland . Friendly she said to me is everybody friendly in Friendly ?
It sounds as if Bette has had to step it down an octave or so since the days of The Divine Miss M tours but age catches us all but it beats the alternative if it don't.
David T RUclips her performance from 2006. She nailed it then.. Its amazing how almost 10yrs can change vocal abilities. I don't think she has the range or the wind for it anymore, or it probably takes a lot outta her.
David T d9 different vibe though as well. As she says, it evoles. She's beautiful in a whole other way. Definitely better than the alternative. I want whatever Bette we can get until she really can't go on.
Want 50 Bucks ? All you have to do is ... sing a song about Bette And I " And put it on your You Tube Channel "" From The Guy Bette Midler Spent A lot of time with ....
That's so easy to say from a man who has never done anything that matters enough to be lasting. You're getting old too, James. What have you left behind aside from a shitty comment on RUclips hidden behind a faceless profile?
James , I was with Bette Midler , She is not the person you see on tv ...she is a very low key Person, Darci Lynne is getting old , Shes only 15 , But looks 35 ....lol "
@@DivineGraceQueen I'm proud to say that Bette Midler asked to sit with me. Along with other things , then rubbing her feet right next to me ....how many people can say that ?
This is what talent is all about. 30 some years ago sings same song and still delivers..!❤
I listened at 20, 30,40 now 58yrs right now.
WOW Bette!!
I`ll be happy if I can walk, talk, see, and hear as good as this woman sings at 70. Forty years later, singing it like it`s still 1978. Brava.

She’s the only artist who ever made me cry. She is a gift from God and I’m so grateful to have enjoyed her music for the past 40 years. ❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
The LAST but the BEST live version ever. I hope I can cross the street at seventy let along the blessing of those windpipes! (talking the lungs, of course)
Bette shows her appreciation for each group of fans that have supported her over the years.
imho it just gets better every passing year. I've seen her 5 times in concert over the years, she just gets better
NO ONE ELSE will ever sing this song and move the way Bette does when she sings it. Phenomenal Woman.
what 70 year old sings like this other than, Barbra Streisand, Tina Turner,Cher and Shirley Bassey. Bette, bravo
Judy Collins, Tom Jones, Pavarotti, Patti Labelle, Tony Bennett
She needs to tour again! No frills. "An Evening with Bette Midler". Her top songs, kibbitzing.
You just know when you still get goose bumps after 40 years of listening to this woman sing, you know you are listening to the right music!
No matter how many times I hear her sing this, I get goosebumps. Rock on, Bette!!
Wow & wow still can't get enough of her singing this, that last note she holds is amazing.
Bette is the best there ever will be. Still got the pipes at 70. True talent.
I saw this concert. It was magic.
Such an incredible voice with so much emotion! My wife and i saw her in concert in St.Petersburg Florida on our honeymoon 25 years ago. She was awesome!
Absolutely fantastic. I never connected with this song until I saw this performance of it. Tearing up!
My God she is simply STUNNING! !!! What a powerful performance!

AMAZING!! She puts everything she has into every song she sings. This performance was just SPECTACULAR!! :-)

Just have to say "-I LOVE your voice, you hit a feel-good nerve in my body!." Thank you Miss M.
