I watched this live. I cried then. I still cry every time I listen to it. Her song, her emotions and her love for this country showed why this song can still bring tears. It started us in being able to mend our broken hearts and to have pride again in our country. We’d forgotten for a minute what we can do when we pull together. Her song helped us see there was still love in the world if we just stop and pay attention. You never know these days we may need her again to remind us again. We are the wind beneath our wings. Thanks Bette.
Bette Midler became a hero that day. That's why till this day, people love her. She went to this game, even after threats were made to sing. And while singing, she said God bless you. That cemented her place in America as a true hero.
I tuned into the television just in time to catch Bette Midler sing this live. In my city, Austin, TX, the whole town was crying on 9/11. Whether I was putting in gas at the station or grocery shopping, everyone was red-eyed w/ flushed faces. When I heard her sing I felt she was giving me a strong, warm & I felt my soul start to mend. I will love her forever, she connected w/ all of us. It was a big love fest as tears poured out. Thank you, Bette Midler, Thank God for YOU.
i have to give it to Bette Midler i dont know how she can perform this song and keep her own emotions in check while everybody else is openly crying and breaking down in tears. This is one of her best songs and very fitting for this 9/11 memorial.
She was crying when she left. She contained herself until the last note. Other performers were supposed to be there, but they backed out because they were too scared of another terrorist attack. Bette came here when others would not. She was brave.Barbara S. was asked, as were others. They declined, out of fear.
No words can adequately comfort unexpected dread. Grief shock anguish. The God created Bette Midler to make us laugh. Cry. To ease the pain. Live life to the fullest as short as it is. What a courageous performance at a horrific moment in mankind's history!
As soon as this woman opens her mouth just to say "oooohhhhh"... I get chills and goosebumps ALL OVER! She's unique, really lives to her title of Divine.
Oh wow!!! I always cry when I watch this video. Thank you Bette Midler for singing this and helping so many to cope with the lost of their love ones. God bless you Sweetie.

No one ever sang this song like legendary Bette Midler.
The way she sings the words “Thank you” 😭 so intense and sincere and emotional!

No words to express the emotion she never fails to evoke no matter how many times I listen. Bless Bette!
I remember this like it was yesterday, watching it Live. And it still hurts.
Tears started to come out of my eyes as she started to sing.
