who told bette midler she could sing?

[Gato Moteado]

does anyone here think she can sing? i've seen her try to put emotion into songs and she ends up taking all the groove out and making them laughable. she's horrible.

can anyone link me to a bette midler video where she really rocks out?

1. I do

I like her a lot. But I won't bash you for your opinion ;)

i wasn't bashing anyone here. just asking for someone to help me understand bette midler's popularity by linking me to a video where she really brings it.

I was just refering to a lot of the flamewars that have been going on here. Personally, I like all her stuff. Can't look for videos while at work.
