Her wit has been flawlessly exhibited in different facets of her career as a comedian and author, making Amy Poehler one of the most well-loved personalities on the silver screen. Just when we thought we have already seen all of the best in her, the actress gave us yet another surprise as she owned the stage together with Jack Black when they sang a Bette Midler classic entitled ‘The Rose.’
Intended to be a stint for the sake of comedy, Poehler surprised the fans as she sang her way through the lyrics of the classic song in a decent manner. The performance was staged during Tenacious D’s Festival Supreme at the Los Angeles Shrine Expo & Hall Grounds.
Dressed in a floral dress adorned with a furry outer garment and aviator sunglasses, the comedian impressed the crowd as she started singing the first line of the song in a somewhat soulful voice.
Humming the line ‘Some say love…’ served to jump start a whole number that caused the crowd feel mixed emotions that were all good nonetheless. The number was definitely a surprise and was met by satisfying applause.
This is not the first time the two teamed up in a song number, as we have seen them together in the 2003 movie ‘School of Rock’. However, this live performance is as real and as raw as it can get. The justice done by Poehler to the song was well-deserved because the comedian is a self-confessed Bette Midler fan.
“So I first met Bette Midler in my head when I watched the film The Rose in 1979… and since then, her and I have been best friends, in my head. In my head, she and I travel together, we have cut an album, and we pranked George Clooney.” – she confessed during her interview with Vulture in 2014.
