Ne-Yo has found an unlikely fan in legendary entertainer Bette Midler.

The R&B singer/songwriter/producer managed to wowed “The Divine Miss M” during an energetic live set at Radio City Music Hall earlier this year.

“The last person I saw that I thought was really good was Ne-Yo at Radio City,” says Bette.

“We were the oldest people in the whole house and when 11 o clock came we had to get up and worm ourselves back to our house, like, ‘Oh my god, it’s past my bedtime!’ But he was fantastic. One of his girls is one of my old dancers from my old show. He was great and they were great and it was very nice to see him.”
