被讚譽為當代「喜劇皇后」的Bette Midler(貝蒂米勒),長期成功遊走於流行樂、百老匯舞台、好萊塢電影與賭城秀場,堅持在瞬息萬變的歌壇貢獻她傲人的才華,是朔果僅存的全才型女藝人之一。從七二年的葛萊美奪獎處女作《The Divine Miss M》開始,便不斷以她溫厚柔韌的獨特唱腔,創造諸如<The Rose>,<When A Man Loves A Woman>,<Wind Beneath My Wings>,<From A Distance>等暢銷經典,2000年秋天貝蒂米勒更跨足電視圈,在CBS的全新喜劇影集「Bette」中扮演影射自己身兼當紅藝人與家庭主婦為難處境的角色,影集上檔收視奏捷,貝蒂米勒再次證明自己老少通吃的迷人戲劇魅力。
The RoseBette Midler
Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razer
that leaves your soul to blead
有人說,愛是條河
容易將柔弱的蘆葦淹沒
有人說,愛是把剃刀
會任由你的靈魂淌血
Some say love it is a hunger
an endless aching need
I say love it is a flower
and you it's only seed
有人說,愛是種饑渴
一種無盡的帶痛的需求
我說,愛是一朵花
而你,只是花的種籽
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of wakingthat never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give
and the soul afraid of dyingthat never learns to live
