5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful dam*it, January 13, 2005

This review is from: I'm Beautiful (Audio CD)

1998 and 1999 saw the best dance music by some of pop's greatest female singers. There was Madonna's Ray Of Light, Cher's Believe, Gloria Estefan's Heaven's What I Feel and this, Bette Midler's I'm Beautiful.

A remake of the 1993 Uncanny Alliance song, this underrated cover by Bette Midler is a highly enjoyable piece of retro camp all over. The original album version with Bette Midler's amazingly wacky spoken vocal supported by retro-style vocal backings by men and women makes this narcisstic song a nice dancefloor number.
With a few high quality remixes from the likes of Danny Tenaglia, Victor Calderone and Brinsley Evans, this song took to the dance world immediately with clubs playing simultaneously.

Danny Tenaglia packs in some hard beats and bass with Bette's vocals and churns out an anthem remix worthy of a good workout on the dancefloor.

Victor Calderone broke Bette's vocals into bits and pieces and loops the chorus around his trademark dance track.

The best remix here is the Brinsley Evans Back To The Scene Of The Crime Mix which fuses the original version with a sample of Stardust's Music Sounds Better With You and creates a rather funky remix.

Overall, 8 tracks of Bette's comsic-fabulosity. No one says it better.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Too too Divine!", March 17, 1999

This review is from: I'm Beautiful (Audio CD)

I have been a fan of Bette's for six years and was starting to get bored with her old albums when she struck gold with this new song. Never before has she gone THIS far to reach #1 on the Billboard Dance Charts and now she's even doing a tour themed around her album - The Bathhouse Tour. But I just loved the "Back to the Scene of the Crime" mix better than the original album version! And for Bette fans: her latest film "Isn't She Great" is coming in May

3.0 out of 5 stars we are all beautiful..., October 4, 2001

I only gave it a 3 simply because I'm not one for remixes or for singles. I bought this single though because I find that the song itself sends a great message, that regardless of how you look or yourlifestyle that you still should consider yourself BEAUTIFUL DAMN IT. There are 8...yes EIGHT...different tracks of "I'm Beautiful" on this single. All wonderfully done if you like remixes. Very much dance tracks. "I'm Beautiful" can also be found on her Bathhouse Betty cd.
