WIND BENEATH MY WINGS: When 'American Idol' judges talk to contestants about connecting with a song, they should instruct them to watch this video of Bette singing this song at the 1990 Grammys. It is a magnificant performance from her voice to her phrasing to the way she quietly owned the stage. Moments later, she would win the record of the year Grammy for what was her first number one hit.

THE ROSE: Bette was in her post-"Jinxed" period just before her big comeback in all those Disney comedies when she sang this live at a major Martin Luther King Tribute. The YouTube clip states 1984 but I'm thinking it was 1985 or 86 because I remember watching it on TV. Anyway, it's a wonderful rendition of the song and again, she sings the hell out of it.
