I wish my nervous breakdowns looked and sound this good.

[@JAaron-zp8gy]

I love when she does the booby shakes

[@Usedw0tm8]

I never caught that "hello Salem! My name's Winifred, what's yours?" In Hocus Pocus was a reference to this! I didn't know Bette Midler played Rose once!

[@reneesings21]

Haha I literally just realized this too, and I play Winnie in a Hocus Pocus parody show 😂

[@ellen.13]

I'm rewatching it right now after not seeing it for years and when I heard her say that I was like HOLD UP A FUCKIN SECOND, THAT'S A REFERENCE TO HER PERFORMANCE IN GYPSY! and came here

[@Luna-zw6te]

Well its interesting too cause this movie and Hocus Pocus came out the same year, so that line was probably fresh in her head😂

[@SeraQuelle]

Me too!

[@sschimel]

It's basically a nervous breakdown set to music. And Midler is one of the few who really shows that. Watch her at "Momma? Momma?"

[@whossoul]

Yeah it's like the first half that's very showtuney is still with the mask on, then the mask comes off and she has the breakdown when the song changes, and then it turns into that manic post breakdown point at the end.

[@FrankCutugno]

In my opinion, Bette does what many before her didn't; managing both the singing and acting! I don't think even Merman accomplished that! 😁

[@sschimel]

The way she 'sees' her mother is better than any other Rose. I wish she'd done Mame.

This is really heartbreaking to watch because if you’ve ever missed out on your dreams and settled for less you can relate. Such a wonderfully written character.

[@kidragakas]

I can relate to a parent pushing their child/ren down a path, in an attempt to live out their failed dreams, through them.

[@JackMason-oq8lf]

This is the female "King Lear." You don't take on the role unless you've got it....

[@AcademyNS]

Hear that, Arthur?

[@brandonellis8111]

Reminds me of Mamas Family play where Eunice put her dreams on hold to help out a relative.

[@Darren_Keith]

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in her shoes I’ve tried out for over 7 plays and never got in not even ensemble and I poured my heart out in every audition

[@mattg2773]

It's incredible how swiftly she's able to move from screaming to singing and sometimes mix the two and never lose the pitch or feeling she's portraying for the character. That's so demanding on the vocal chords. Brava.

[@JackMason-oq8lf]

It's a Bette Midler trademark. She does it well My favorite was a one time "Mr Rockefeller." She's drunk, and sad, and amusing, and so on the money, we know the song already.

[@thepanda1044]

Because I was born too soon and started too late. I honestly felt her pain there.

[@sleepykat666]

The no applause at the end feels criminal.

[@echocheck]

I agree...I really missed it all through the whole show.

[@ACinemafanatic]

It’s suppose to feel like that because it’s only her and the applause is in her head which is why she takes a bow. They pretty much adapted this from the book by Arthur Laurent’s who didn’t like the movie sadly but Angela Lansbury was the first to play rose like how she’s described in his book

[@matamemejor]

This is the ultimate performance of this song. Hands down.

[@kpire6066]

She really put it down. Stamped - this is how it's done. I think you're right. I saw her concert twice in the early 90's. Burlesque was part of her shtick and was masterful then. It certainly informed this performance. She's come by it honestly. What a powerhouse. ☮️💖

[@KonniWynn]

Hard disagree. Imelda Stauton did it better.

[@kpire6066]

@@KonniWynn I don't agree but ☮️

[@joshuabrazile]

Yes! Patti’s rendition is PSYCHOTIC and it takes away from the material for me. Bernadette was good, and while Ethel Merman will always be the OG, her performance never made me feel the way this one does.

[@gageblankenship3582]

Chris Colfers was also really good although it wasn't the full song

[@La.Biblioteca.Nienna]

X2 😂😂

[@sazfretz1945]

As a 70s kid, I see her as a different Rose. She played another character named Rose in the movie, "The Rose." It's loosely based on Janis Joplin.

[@emmarosehurt]

Bette Midler is an incredible performer, and no matter how much praise she gets, it’s not enough for me! haha She is one in a million. She plays to the back row but still makes so many choices that are subtle and grounded, making her ✨organically✨ larger-than-life. I swear, she was made for broadway! It’s a good thing she likes it. Her acting instincts are immaculate. Her voice is so strong! I always believe every word out of her mouth! God, she’s just the best! Nobody gets me ranting and raving excitedly about musical theater like Bette Midler! ❤

[@wongfrancis]

This is one of Miss M most divine performances ever! Besides it being a great song, it encapsulate and lay bare the pain, longings and despair of a pushy tiger mother of a super star. ”Scrapbook full of me in the background.....they take bow and you're betting zero....don't I get a dream for myself?,.....”. Brilliant and cruel lyrics indeed.

[@TangSongs]

Chills throughout! Bette Midler is one of a kind and a national treasure!

i've seen the movie, i've heard different incarnations of that number but no one never broke my heart like Bette, i have found the whole show here on "KZbin" you can be sure i'm going to whach the whole thing, Thanx you misse Bette Midler

[@ACinemafanatic]

Listen to Angela Lansburys rose she the first to give rose depth and the tragedy and bitterness that plays out in the song is so heartbreaking it’s like she’s losing her sanity while still clinging on

[@kristopher1799]

This should've won Bette Midler an Emmy!!!! She lost to Kirstie Alley.... 😞😓😩

[@DiffrentDrumr]

Of course I totally agree!! ❤️

[@michaelwalker8144]

Imo this is where contemporary American musical theatre begins. In this number. And Bette seriously delivers

[@opiumsale]

and this right here is the reason Bette is a superstar!!!! flawless and seamless

[@palmereldritch7777]

Let\s face it, this is up there with Shakespeare's Hamlet's soliloquy in Theatre History and most likely the harder act to pull off. And so many god given talented actresses have knocked this out of the ball park. Kudos for Miss Midler for putting her own inimitable spin on it. Up there with the very best (but sorry im never gonna rank them, they're all too good).

[@atlbrysco6198]

WOW - I had never seen Bette Midler in this role before but growing up with "Gypsy" I had always thought that she would be the perfect actor to play the role, and damn, I was right! When the TV movie came out I was in the Navy (it was Desert Storm and the hereafter) and never got to see it; it was this (and a few others from this content producer) that introduced me to it, and then made me go search and find the HD version of it. She is incredible - and so perfectly fitted for the role! I have read a few reviews of some of the scenes from here on KZbin, and they say that "She's too much! She overplays! She makes a mockery of what Mamma Rose was!" But I think it was Rosalind Russell that *didn't* play the role big enough... if you read the actual scripts (and biography) the role of Mamma Rose was "bigger than life, with huge gestures, and excitement and despite being hard, was incredibly vulnerable!" (according to the original playwrights and choreographers of the play and film) - she was supposed to be a hard woman that also had a heart and believed in her children, while suffering from her own faults and fallacies of her failed time on stage that caused her to push too much, she still loved them. To me, Bette Midler put this forth brilliantly and continues to show how whatever part she plays she makes it perfect for the character.

[@maxwellsmall-price513]

I’ve JUST realized that Bette says the same thing at the beginning of I’ve put a spell on you!!! Hello Salem, my names Winifred, what’s yours?

[@SymphonyBrahms]

Merman, Lansbury, LuPone and Midler. The great Madame Roses.

[@ACinemafanatic]

Even Imelda was amazing

[@Gnostic72]

You forgot Peters.

[@douglastrazzare3298]

Tyne Daly was also very good. And yes, Peters was against type but also really something.

[@ACinemafanatic]

People need to give angela Lansbury more credit for playing mama rose because she started the whole mental breakdown of rose and her imagining the audience clapping for her. It’s terrifying but sad

[@sazfretz1945]

I've seen many actresses play Mama Rose, but she does it best! I get chills at that last belt.

Bette was born to play this part. So sad. So energetic and sad.

[@sharonhoyt2133]

Bette Midler is probably the greatest actresses I've ever seen. She and I are the same age and I've followed her career since I bought hear first album. I loved her singing then and she has just grown though every stage of her career. This has always been one of my favorite movies since I saw the initial movie when I was a young teen. I loved Rosalind Russell in the role, bought the album and sang along to it. When I found out Bette was going to do the show I didn't think there was anyway she could be better than Rosalind but I was wrong. Premier acting and singing skills. I will never agree with Midler on politics but to my mind she is the best actress I've ever seen...along with Kathy Bates. Fortunately those two are not in any real competition since they occupy different genre's but they have the same skills. I did get to see Midler live on Broadway twice and she is just as great live.

[@chrisshoemaker3855]

Saw Bette in Hello, Dolly! a few years ago. She was absolutely incredible and made it look like the role was written for her

[@Imightbeahoarder]

Someone said this is the hoowhyte version of "And I'm telling you" The problem with this is Rose's Turn is from the musical Gyspy which came out in 1959. So "And I'm telling you" is the buhlaque version of "Rose's Turn" 🤷🏿‍♀️ The original Dreamgirls came out in 81. That said! WHO CARES????? They are both incredible songs sung by incredible ladies through the years! Music is the one thing for me that has transcended race. A great song is a great song.

Most of it is actually in G major, but it modulates a lot throughout the song. The everything’s coming up roses part is in A.
