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.

[@lizlazfigueroa8930]

@@writerinfact1768 yes, Janis does a great job, I totally agree, but I guess I just prefer the raspiness of Bette’s voice. Her voice gives the song just a tad bit more edge and sadness, in my opinion. Different interpretations and likes, it’s all good. Beautiful 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.

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.
