She is the best performer out there. Nobody can make you laugh, sing along, cry, etc. better than she can. She is absolutely the best. She makes people feel great. Her legend will never die.

Orry (UK) on Bette Midler
"She has it all, brains, talent and gorgeous tits! She truly is divine. And she isn't false like most of the listed."

Susan (USA) on Bette Midler
"Bette Midler is multi-talented and not just a fading one hit wonder. She can do it all - sing, dance, act, be a comedian, write, produce, etc. She also gives back to her community and the whole world through her efforts with NYRP (New York Restoration Project) and AIDS research, etc. as just a few. She is a true diva because she upholds good morals and values and presents a positive image to people who admire her. Sure, she's also brassy and bawdy, she's cussed, etc. but isn't doing that with style part of divadom? Bette is truly the queen of all things and I think it is high time she got some credit for all the wonderful work she has done."

Amy (USA) on Bette Midler
"I have followed her career for several years, and I believe that she is just getting better and better with age. She is very talented and has a wonderful voice.  It's hard to explain but when you see her perform live, it just does something to you. It is an awesome experience. I don't believe there are too many performers out there who can reach out and touch their audience the way Bette Midler does."

Robyn (USA) on Bette Midler

She has it all and can still do it all ... my kinda woman.

Amy (USA) on Bette Midler
"She is by far the best entertainer, actress, singer, in the world. She has been named many times ... the best live performer ever ... I should know ... I live to go to her concerts ... she is enthusiastic and she can move you to tears ... or make your sides split with laughter.  Oh , yeah ... and that fabulous voice!"

Melanie (USA) on Bette Midler
"Bette is the most talented performer - loved by all generations. She has shown her talent in multitudinous ways, including acting as well as her beautiful singing. Bette has dabbled in all kinds of music and shown her incredible ability to charm the ears of her listeners in all of them. Her concern for people and the environment is also demonstrated through her crusade with the New York Restoration Project."

Brenda (USA) on Bette Midler
"She can sing, dance, act, save the planet and do it all while raising a daughter, and running a production company, and ...... you have to ask? Bette Midler is an incredible inspiration to me. She has a beautiful voice that touches your soul. She can not only sing, but dance and act with an incomparable versatility. And in addition to giving to her fans so much of herself, she gives and helps to make the world a cleaner place for everyone. No one is as versatile, and human at the same time as Bette Midler. Bette is the queen of divas. As Rosie puts it, the queen of all things. This woman has worked hard to become what she is today and she gives back more than anyone else in her position. She doesn't just throw money at a problem, she puts on her overalls and gloves and goes out and cleans the world up herself. The fact that she doesn't flaunt her wealth or status, but is just one of us off stage is one of the things I admire most about this incredible woman. Bette can do anything, her determination, commitment, and continual giving give me a great deal of inspiration to reach for my dreams. She can do anything and do it well. She gives more to the world than just her fantastic talents. She saved my life twice."

Beth (USA) on Bette Midler

She is truly and I mean truly talented!"

Jessica (USA) on Bette Midler
"She is a very gifted singer with a beautiful voice. She is a wonderful, talented lady who gives a lot back to her fans."

Jimbo (USA) on Bette Midler
"She's been around for 30 years, does movies, books, albums, and legendary live shows, and shows no signs of stopping."

Trina (Canada) on Bette Midler
"... because she is the best! She is the best of all divas, she can sing, dance, act. She cares about humanity and she is making a difference in this crazy world that we all live in. She is my inspiration, and that my friends is what a diva is all about!"

Kathleen (USA) on Bette Midler

Meg (USA) on Bette Midler
"She makes me want to get up in the morning and do something with my life, plus she's funny as all hell."

Rebecca (Australia) on Bette Midler
"Bette is in a class of her own. She has a brilliant voice and a lovely personality. She is simply the most divine diva there is."

Beth (USA) on Bette Midler
"Bette Midler is the ultimate diva. She is an amazing singer, actress, comedienne producer, and stage personality. She is confident and beautiful. Her music is meaningful and sentimental. Last year, I went through a very difficult time in my life and was very, very depressed. I was very lonely and my self esteem was very low. Then I saw the movie "Beaches". I cried all night. The character CC Bloom overcame her obstacles to become a Broadway star. I then went out and bought a Bette Midler CD. Every day, I would listen to her music, and it gave me hope. Now, I am successful in music and in school, and I am actually a happy person. I owe this to Bette Midler. She saved me. I believe that the definition of a diva nowadays is used much too often. Most people think that a glamorous female singer is a diva, but a diva is much more than that. A diva is a female who has overcome obstacles to become what she is, and Bette Midler has certainly done that. She has overcome the hardship of being the solitary Jewish girl in a chiefly Polynesian neighborhood in Hawaii. She overcame the grief of the death of her sister, Judith. She has risen from singing for fifty dollars a night in Manhattan nightclubs to being a superstar. If that is not the definition of a diva, then I don't know what is. I absolutely love Bette Midler. I, being a singer myself, look up to her. I have ten of her CD's and know the majority of her songs by heart. I would sincerely give anything to meet her. I would be so happy if Ms. Midler could read this. Then she would know how much she has changed my life."

Sarah (USA) on Bette Midler
"Bette Midler is the almighty Divine One. She is a great person who takes time out of her life to improve our environment. Someone who is willing to do that should be greatly honored."

Kara (USA) on Bette Midler
"The most energetic, humorous, talented, outgoing, caring and loveable diva. She is amazing."

Sara (Holland) on Bette Midler
"... because she can do everything and she is so strong yet so tender. She is everything and everybody."

Natalie (USA) on Bette Midler
"Why is she my favorite diva? Does this have to be in a 1,000 words or less? Because I can go on forever about why she not only is my favorite diva, but she is truly a diva out of very few that should be recognized as being a diva.  In her music she can vary people's emotions like no one has ever been able to do.  She can go from making you laugh so hard that you are ready to cry ... to making you cry harder than you have ever cried before. I don't know of any other entertainer that has that sort of talent... She is amazing (to say the least).  She is the 'queen' of all divas!  I could go on forever... but I won't. *grin*"

Britt (USA) on Bette Midler
"Bette is my favorite diva because she is truly talented. She can sing, act, write books, clean up city parks in New York, and still have time to raise her daughter and spend time with her husband. And it takes nothing less that a diva to do all of that!"

Laura (USA) on Bette Midler
"She is one of a kind! She can do it all and do it better than any other diva!"

Jane (USA) on Bette Midler
"Are you kidding? From 'The Rose' through 'Outrageous Fortune' all the way to 'For The Boys'? Who else has such range? 'Beaches' and 'Ruthless People' and top it off with 'First Wives Club'. Who could ask for more? Fabulous voice, live shows, great range, takes life semiserious, gorgeous, funny, sympathetic. Besides, she is the Divine Miss M."

Amanda (USA) on Bette Midler
"She is my favorite diva because she is a great singer, actress and comedian.  I have been a fan of hers since I was six years old and will continue to be a fan of hers until the day I die.  I want to be just like her.  I  would give anything to meet her. I love all her movies and songs. She is my one and only role model. I look up to her. For people who don't like her have got to be out of their mind. She keeps me going day after day. Whenever I have a problem I listen to her music and it seems to make my problems go away. I love Bette Midler. She is my hero!"

Shelley (USA) on Bette Midler
"Bette has the vocal ability, the humor, and the soul to reach deep down into your heart and make you love her."

Cyril (France) on Bette Midler
"Bette Midler is a very good actress and a good singer. She is a diva."

H.C. (USA) on Bette Midler
"Versatility!"

Wanda (USA) on Bette Midler
Well she isn't called Divine for nothing! No one can take a 2 hour concert and make you sing, laugh and cry quite like Bette Midler. She is divine!

MaryAnn (USA) on Bette Midler
She is my hero and has been since I was 4. I love her with all my heart. She is my inspiration, and at times the only thing that has kept me alive. I owe her my life.

Renee (USA) on Bette Midler

P.H. (USA) on Bette Midler
"She's got a voice as smooth as satin & as rough as sand paper, balls of brass & a heart of gold. She writes, sings and acts all the while being the best mother, I'm sure any child could have. Not to mention holding on to a husband, in Hollywood, which in itself is something very rare. In short: Bette Midler is a Diva Divine!"

Linda (USA) on Bette Midler
"She has a beautiful voice and can sing just about anything and she also is a great live performer and actress."

Erin (USA) on Bette Midler
"She has the most incredible voice, sense of humor, strength, intelligence, perseverance and personality of any celebrity I have ever seen perform. She is amazing and I love her music. All of her songs are so different that you could never get tired of her cd's."

Jill (USA) on Bette Midler
"She's fun, beautiful, funny, full of talent and the list goes on and on. If I could eat lunch with anyone in the world it would be Bette. She seems like a person I could carry on a good conversation with!"

Nichole (USA) on Bette Midler
"Her zest for life, her music, and her acting is what drew me to Bette."

Cassidy (USA) on Bette Midler
"How can she not be on the big list yet - I mean she's great."

Mikey (USA) on Bette Midler
"She has had many hard ships in her life and has over came them all. She is the best actress I have ever seen. To quote the divine one herself, "My specialty is to make people laugh really, really hard and then turn around and make them cry. That's what I do." That is very true, and who can't like her singing!? Bette rocks!"

Courtney (USA) on Bette Midler
"She is my favorite diva because she has the best singing voice ever. She can act as well, and that's talent. She contributes amazingly to this country and is the ultimate diva."

"She is the best singer and actress I have ever seen! She contributes so much to this country and the people of this country. She is the ultimate diva!"

Amy (USA) on Bette Midler
"She seems like she has had it all. She has shown everyone that it is not always easy to be on top, but if you have the ability to laugh and hold your head up, baby look out. That's why she is my favorite diva."

Linda (Canada) on Bette Midler
"Bette does a great live show ... makes you feel good, sad or in the mood for housework. Her music as the "ballad singer" her phrase not mine is just a touch of the range of her voice, and what she is capable of. Multi-faceted talents make her not only a diva ... but great human being."

Cookie (USA) on Bette Midler
"She can sing, dance, make us feel we are her family!"

JP (USA) on Bette Midler
"She is the best!"

Jessie (USA) on Bette Midler
"Large body of impressive work, power to move millions with her voice alone. 50 years old and don't she look fabulous? Not to mention she can act circles around anybody. She is the only diva."

Kimmy (USA) on Bette Midler
"She is my fav because when I was 8 I saw 'Hocus Pocus' and like all little kids I loved it and fell in love with her! Now I'm 13 and she is my idol. I've seen all of her movies! I love her so much!"

Jennifer (USA) on Bette Midler
"She is ballsy and brash. She knows the first rule of comedy is to not care who's toes you step on. Not only does she know it but practices it. As she said herself 'Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke'."

DG (USA) on Bette Midler
"Bette Midler is a triple threat with enough acclaim for her vocal, theatric, dramatic and comedic capabilities to make the more "photo-friendly" diva break a sweat. She is enduring to all of the masses and appealing to gays, straights, blacks, whites, the fat, the thin, the short, the tall ... the lady is a blessing to those in need of a little entertaining. In conclusion, isn't that what being a diva is all about? The Barbara's, the Billies, the Patti's ... they all have the talent, but are they as entertaining? I'll Bette not!"

Marilyn (USA) on Bette Midler
"Bette Midler is just unbelievable. It's so touching the way she touches her audience. No one else can even be compared to Bette's shows because she can deliver a song with her soul. It comes from her heart. Bette Midler is divine in all aspects."

Sarah (Canada) on Bette Midler
"She is a very talented human being and also a good person. I like that she is helping with the NYRP. She is a great singer & actress."

"She is the best."

Gary (USA) on Bette Midler
"She's a class act!"

Patricia (Chile) on Bette Midler
"Good, better, best, Bette!"

Dustin (USA) on Bette Midler
"Everything she does spells DIVA - D-evoted to her career, I-ntelligent, V-ersitile in the songs she sings, A-dventurous. Enuf said."

Jackie (USA) on Bette Midler
"Oh my gosh, how is she not everyone's fav diva? This woman has been through so much in her life, and does so much to help the environment with the NYRP. Her movies have made me laugh and cry, and her songs have made me dance, laugh, sing along ... and most importantly, helped me grieve for my mother. She is one remarkable diva!  Long Live the Divine Miss M!"

Angela (USA) on Bette Midler
"There is not enough time to truly express why she is my fav diva. However, she is the explanation of Diva - She's a wife, a mother, an actress, a singer, a comedian, a director. She has mad a conservative effort to make this world a cleaner safer place for us all to live in with her charity, "New York Restoration Project" and she still finds time to be so very precious!"

Sandy (USA) on Bette Midler
"She is the Divine One!"

Alison (USA) on Bette Midler
"Bette Midler is truly divine. She puts her heart and soul into everything she does, whether it be singing, acting, or cleaning up New York. Her songs reach deep into people's hearts, touching them in ways that can't be expressed in words. If I could choose anyone in the world to spend a day with, it would definitely be Bette Midler. My one wish is that one day I will meet her face to face, and just maybe we could become friends. Her talent is like no other, and long after she is gone, her legacy will live on!  I hope to one day be as great a person/performer as she is! Bette Midler is the number one diva!"

Brenda (USA) on Bette Midler
"Simply put, I believe that Bette is greatest entertainer of all time. Miss Midler puts on a spectacular show whether it's recorded or live in person. There is no greater joy than experiencing the breath taking Bette Midler!"

Terry (USA) on Bette Midler
"Bette is simply divine. She has done so much for so many people that there is no way I could ever describe in words what an incredible diva she is.  The voice, the activist, the movie star ... she is the ultimate definition of divine."

Rebecca (USA) on Bette Midler
"She is very gifted lady that brings so much emotion into her songs. Her songs can touch a person in so many ways."

Marcia (USA) on Bette Midler
"She can do it all. She sings, she dances, she acts. Anyone who is as multitalented as her deserves an award. She is truly divine!"

Rey (Switzerland) on Bette Midler
"... because there's no one who can be emotionally so versatile like her, no one so classy and brassy at the same time and only a few who are similarity talented in so many ways."

Doreen (USA) on Bette Midler
"Bette is my diva because she is just more than exterior. She is kind and extremely humane. For all the support that we have shown her, she is giving back to us by restoring New York. It has also prompted many to start their own clean-up crews. She is such a positive force and has the hearts of many. For being a role model for teens alone, she deserves a high honor. She is divine & she is a diva!"

Rebecca (USA) on Bette Midler
"... because she's not just a singer. She's a great comic! She's a fabulous actress what-ever she's doing - animation, comedy, drama and musicals! Bette's talents relate to men and women - gay and straight - young and old - Whatever it is she does - sing, dance, tell stories, act, do talk shows or clean up the highways - she puts her heart into it."

Erica Ann (USA) on Bette Midler
"... because she is so original and down to earth. She has tremendous talent, her voice is that of an angel and her acting, writing, dancing is fabulous.  She has a kind soul. She started NYRP for New York City. She cleans it with her own hands and money. Not to mention her beauty. She has such a beauty that I can not even describe. Bette is the number one diva because she is Bette Midler!  They don't call her The Divine Miss M for nothing!"

Jessica (USA) on Bette Midler
"... because she rocks! No, seriously, Bette Midler is my fav diva because she can literally do anything. She has come so far from her days in the bathhouses of New York City to the show stopping diva that she is today, not to mention being a wife and mother along the way. I ask you, if this doesn't make you a diva, what does?"

Jami (USA) on Bette Midler
"She is my favorite diva, because she does everything with her entire heart, life, singing, acting, saving the environment!  She's Bette Midler, what else is there to explain."

Velvet (USA) on Bette Midler
"... because she is the only person that actually puts her heart and soul into the music instead of having someone else write a song ... and then everyone else forgets about it."

Emily (USA) on Bette Midler
"Ever seen her live? Need I say more?"

JoBeth (USA) on Bette Midler

There is no one else like her, she has a voice that will leave one breathless, her concerts are one of a kind, no doubt the best entertainer alive, she's a fabulous actress, she has the best sense of humor, yet very down 2 earth, and she does a lot for the people, she has her own clean up and she stands strong for what she believes in."

Shae (USA) on Bette Midler
"She knows how to perform and she has a voice like no other. She'll sing songs that have you laughing, and then turn around and sing songs that have you in a crying heap on the floor."

Ashley (USA) on Bette Midler
"She is a singer, actress, and a comedian. She puts all of herself into her movies. She also has many charities she gives to and her music is very uplifting."

Michelle (USA) on Bette Midler
"Bette Midler has the greatest voice and can sing anything and make it sound good! She is also a wonderfully versatile actress who can make you cry and then make you laugh 5 seconds later."

Rosalie (USA) on Bette Midler
"She can sing 'any' song not just one category like most of the women above. She can 'entertain' a multitude wide variety of people and keep them all happy."

Elizabeth (USA) on Bette Midler
"One movie stands out above all others - 'The Rose'. This was Ms. Midler's first movie which won many awards not only for her acting but, for her music. She has done many other movies since. Not all have been blockbusters however she puts everything she has into any thing she does. 'For The Boys' and 'Beaches' were both excellent movies both heartwarming and funny. She has proven she can play both a drama or a comedy without a flaw. I thoroughly enjoy seeing Ms. Midler on screen. She makes me laugh and cry all at once. That is a divine actor! Ms. Midler sings her songs with such intense emotion and feeling. She truly has a divine voice! She is compassionate toward all human kind and has a wonderful spirit. She has produced 17 albums in her career and many movies. It is clear she is a hard worker with a passion for what she loves."

Kristy (USA) on Bette Midler
"She is a great singer and an excellent person all around! She has accomplished so much in her life.  She truly is Divine!"

Alex (USA) on Bette Midler
"Bette Midler definitely has 'extraordinary glamour, mystery' in abundance, 'a liberal sprinkling of tragedy' (very publicized highs and lows) 'and most of all endurance throughout the years' (no comment necessary)  She will most certainly 'never be forgotten' by her millions of fans and her 'image can be conjured up immediately by the mere mention of a name, song or movie."

nn (USA) on Bette Midler
"She can sing, she can act. She does much for charity. All around Diva."

Aaron-Noel (USA) on Bette Midler
"Fabulous entertainer who at 54 doesn't need a teleprompter for her live concerts. Has spanned 35 years of eye popping, ear numbing, breath taking shows and puts Hollywood where it should be...on their knees. Trashy at times but intellectually brilliant and her campaigns for the AIDS projects and clean-up of our nations highways and of all places New York City, which has never looked cleaner due to this.......yes I will say it, proudly, Diva. All hail the original Divine Diva! Darling ya gotta have Bette on the list.  She got more spunk than half and the wit to klobber 'um all. Also I could go for a little Ella Fitzgerald ... or Dinah Washington .... Julie London ... huh ... whatdaya think?"

Penny (USA) on Bette Midler
"Beside being multi-talented, the Divine Miss M's nickname alone should qualify her for Top Divadom! She also appeared in a program several years ago entitled, 'Diva Las Vegas,' which I believe put the term 'diva' out there in the public consciousness. Ms. Midler played the role of Mam Rose several years ago in a production of 'Gypsy,' which pretty much requires diva-level performance. She is well-known for her larger-than life persona, and also qualifies by being quite catty about the talents of other performers. On a more serious note, she is an incredibly talented performer, whose fans worship her at her concert appearances. She also has done more than her share of charitable works, both for AIDS and the environment. Beautiful, sexy, moving, bawdy, dramatic, and caring - what more could any acolyte hope for?"

Missy (USA) on Bette Midler
"Great voice, great style, great acting, great entertainment. The First Wives Club, Outrageous Fortune, That Old Feeling, The Rose, Down and out in Beverly. Hills, Ruthless People, Beaches, Stella, Scenes From a Mall, Hocus Pocus, Jinxed, Divine Madness, What more do I have to say?"

Heidi (USA) on Bette Midler
"She is my fav diva because she is Divine and she earned her diva status."
