Bette Midler Comments On Michael Jackson And ‘The Kiss’
Actress and musician Bette Midler was on CNN’s Larry King Live on Wednesday where she weighed in on the Michael Jackson child molestation charges. “I think it’s — it makes me very sad because he is a great, great talent. You know, I was a big, by fan of his when I was a younger. I was a great, big fan of his all the way through. I’m still a fan, to tell you the truth. I think he has a wonderful voice. He has a great range. He has impeccable timing. He has — he’s a great dancer. He had it all — has it all. And yet there’s something that — I feel that he’s trapped in some sort of a fantasy that he has allowed to seduce him, to a point where he — I think he thinks he can — I don’t know.
