| - What fun! Tonight was her first show before opening! She is truly Divine! Seeing the show -- even with a few flaws -- made her seem, if possible, more flawless!
Her show is high energy -- a laugh riot -- she's really seriously funny -- and then pure Bette -- great music, hilarious jokes, completely current - and a reflection on her past -- and what fun she has. It's a great ride. First there are gorgeous showgirls - she calls them her Caesar Salad Girls ("22 babes with 44 perfect tits" and not a French Canadian circus performer in the bunch -- big laughs here...) and the Staggering Harlots (her 3 lovely backup singers) -- who arrive in Vegas, thanks to a tornado in the desert...and... "boy is my ass tired..." (she comes onstage riding a burro...)
It's going to be a superhot show -- and she says it best -- with "me, Cher & Elton -- what a lineup for the gays!" Big applause here... She's raw -- yes, more than a few f-bombs (the folks sitting next to us left after the second song, but it was definitely their loss...) -- "I'm a f***ing Goddess...dammit...
She sang non-stop (6 really quick costume changes) for 100 minutes solid...no lip synching here...(take a lesson, Britney and Ashley...).
The best moments were the bubbles -- she came out after her first costume change and we think, she fell off her shoes -- after a hilarious save -- she gave the shoes to someone offstage, reentered and did the song all over barefooted -- she was terrific.
Her big hits -- still are...she gets them all in. You won't be disappointed for a second...
Bette, welcome to Vegas! We're so happy you're here!
