i love this movie . bette midler be one of my favorite actress but her portrayal of a wash up and burn out and alcoholic and drug abuse janis joplin be by far her best performance . she look fantastic and while some of the concert scene be a bit long and overall the movie be very well do . the scene where she be walk up to the stage in florida at the stadium and almost fall over give me chill and her singing stay with me baby be the most moving and powerful performance i have ever see . it literally bring tear to my eye . the roller coaster of emotion that you go through in this movie will stay with you long after the last credit have leave the screen . bette midler at her best and when she collapse at the end you truly feel a if you have lose right along with her . the best amusic movie i have ever see .
