- Note: Audio only but WORTH THE LISTEN!!! This is Melissa Etheridge performing the most incredible cover we have ever heard her perform. This is called Stay With Me and is from the Bette Midler movie The Rose. Performed live at The Avalon, Niagara Falls, Canada, June 20th, 2009. Enjoy!
VIDEO TAKEN BY DAWN!!! :)
Absolutely incredible!!!! And I love Bette Midler in the Rose, but Melissa's performance surpasses that!
Magnificent performance of this song. Only Melissa Etheridge could do it better than anyone! Wow, what a vocal range Melissa has. Melissa your the best!!
I like how Melissa sing it! Fantastic performance! Gives me chills! 🎼❤
Thank you for sharing this with us. It really is one of the most incredible performances of Melissa (although, I've never heard this song before).
I love when people sing from their hearts and you can feel it.
It's like for five sodding minutes a million of people feel the same emotions: anguish, longing, disbelief, despair. And love.
I can't live without my Mellisa! Thank you for getting me thru so much in my life!!
I'm the same age as Melissa & this movie had the same power with me at that time. This and the whole soundtrack is amazing.
Gr8 rendition from Melissa!! 🤘🏼
CJ Steam Stanley, I’m also close to her in age. I remember “The Rose” and this song. Great to hear it coming full out of MLEs heart ❤️.
i was at this concert and this song touched my soul what can i say Melissa is the one and only. What a great song OUTSTANDING!
No words, just pure emotion.......
Hey Melissa, how about "Midnight in Memphis?"

You've got an amazing beautiful voice Melissa! Love to hear you sing " Stay with Me" !
That's my girl ME! She is mesmerizing! I leave the planet when she sings!
Beautiful vocal on one of my favorites as well.
I saw the Rose over and over and over!! Still know the whole movie word for word... the best performance ever by The Devine Miss M!
Great performance. I've never heard this by Melissa. She didn't disappoint. The Rose is one of my favorite movies, and she did Bette proud.
OMG....girl you did Bette PROUD!!!!!! Incredible, amazing, moving, honest and true. What a phenominal performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! This was absolutely fantastic. I love you Melissa.

Being a Bette fan all my life & a Melissa fan...this is one of the greatest tributes to Bette I've ever listened to...touches my heart deeply. Thank you Melissa!
I could listen to this 20x in a row
Love how she sings this
Ohhh Melissa you have such a beautiful voice
Tickets to see her twice in August. Cannot wait - hope she does this. On word- AMAZING!!!!!
HOLY SHIT!!!! AWESOME!!!
That was a beautiful song
love it!!
Despite everything....there is not a female singer performing today who can touch Etheridge in live performances...an American treasure
I ADORE Bette as well, but WOW Melissa brings it...This is awesome 5 stars
This is one of the most emotional performances I have ever heard by Melissa and that says a lot because she always delivers! Beautiful soul.
god, her voice is amazing no matter if she speaks or sing...
Goose bumps ;)
To those talking about 'the original' singer, etc... If you pay attention, you'll hear her talking about 'The Rose', how she heard/watched over & over. The credit was given to Bette cus Bette is whom she was referring to having experienced the song being sung by. No other reason, no disrespect, just admiration of Bette's performance she had seen and lo end all those times, years ago.. .
Sorry
"Seen and 'loved' all those times..."
OMFG I was at this concert, she was AMAZING !!! We love you Missy *Winks* Damn.. I wish i was your lover lol

River, Me too. Been in love with Melissa since the 80s. Still. 🥰
Sublime performance, wooo.
OK, I am sooo re-commenting. I remember this from the Rose. It was THE movie of the end of the 70's(?) I saw it so many times and then now I have the DVD.
MLE does such a awesome and powerful version of this. Just great. But what else would I expect from someone like Melissa.

I would kill to go see Melissa again! Every where she goes she goes to a casino and im only 15!
Thanks for this, Street Team. Melissa is my favorite performer. Didn’t realize that it would turn out to be mostly audio only. 😉. Sad that the video part was unsuccessful except for the start and the ending. I get that there are some times when there are circumstances beyond one’s control. Loved this, anyway!
brilliant!!!!!
Love this, brings me to tears, no words to describe.........
LOVE!! LOVE!! LOVE!!
Love it : ) Austin, Tx
Did you know Melissa is a big Dolly Parton fan?! They did the "Crossroads" show together. Dolly rocked with "Come to my Window", "Give me Some Water" and, especially, "I Wanna Be in Love". Etheridge did Parton classics.
OK, I am totally re-commenting.... The Rose was THE movie in the late 70's(?) I remember seeing this so many times and now I have the DVD.
Melissa does it just beautiful. The power in her voice is so phucking amazing!!! I wish I could whistle on UA-cam. *whistle, whistle* Just a awesome version. But I wouldn't expect anything different from MLE.

Its Bring me Some Water

Ok we all know Melissa can give a hell of a whole lot more in a song, she can do way better than that, this isn't the time to be shy.
@ChelseaLane93 Have you listened to Lorraine Ellisson's version, the original from '66.
Are you sure you can't go inside the theater? I mean, under-age people can go inside The Colosseum at Caesars Palace to see Bette Midler.
I don't know what it is about bette middler, because she is hetero, as I think, but she seems to be one of the most great characters, I ever knew, I think - well, I love her!!!
and melissa - well, nothing to add here - anyone knows about here talent and here strong character!
I am sure that Melissa didn't mean to "irritate" anyone, and she surly meant no harm to Lorraine Ellison about this song. This song, however, is KNOWN as Bette's. She is the one that made it popular, it is because of her that the song is most known. So, no Lorraine didn't get the recognition, but that isn't really Melissa's fault. or anyone's but Lorraine's really.
Like a lot of others here I also think that Lorraine Ellisons original 1966 is by far the best.
Nice that she made the effort, but really, after hearing Lorraine Ellison, well, Bette is the only one who could come close to singing it like she really meant it!
I agree 100%
Lorraine Ellison never did get the recognition she deserved.
begging u kal
This IS a great version; however, I wish she'd have given credit to the lady who had the original hit on the song in the late '60s, Lorraine Ellison. HER version (Loraine's) is the one to top!
StaceyDMify thank you for the link to who really sang it. I have been curious for so long
@jbsky3 its really all personal taste, to be honest i love kiki dees version, much stronger and more emotional than this for me, she`s not taking the song seriously enough, not feeling it like bette or janis or kiki....just my humble opinion.
Funny how she credits this to Bette Midler. LORRAINE ELLISON DID IT BEST IN1966. RIP.
ya woman get your facts straight
She said it was BY her (as in performed by, not necessarily WRITTEN by)
Lorraine Ellison didn't do it best. It, actually, was the worst. ua-cam.com/video/5TOaUxgkLSg/v-deo.html
Maybe that's who she relates to singing it.
I'll stay with Ellison's original.
tricky dick and it would have been nice if she gave her the credit for doing the original
nice voice but not the emotion of Bette. I need to listen to Lorraine Ellison
Not a bad song for her set...but both Kiki Dee's version and JJ's blow this away. IMO Kiki's is probably the best overall but I prefer Janis' because I like her style the most.
Oh...and this song is NOT by Midler. It's Loraine Ellison ... but I think Melissa does better than Ms Ellison on this one.
I like Melissa but this song belongs to Lorraine Ellison.
Loorriane ellison
Lorriane ellison
Pamela Williams yes, Lorraine E. Not Bette M
dont like this version...sorry
Pussycatfeathers this is amazing
