Bette Midler stands corrected after criticising Ariana Grande

Bette Midler addressed the critical remarks she made about rising star Ariana Grande on Twitter and wrote that despite it all she had "a beautiful voice."
The 68-year-old actress recently slammed the former Nickelodeon star's mature look and deemed her new, sensual image "so ridiculous" in an interview with British newspaper The Guardian.
"[Young women should] trust [their] talent. You don't have to make a whore of yourself to get ahead," Midler said of Grande.
In turn, Grande took to Twitter to share a photo of a young Midler in a very revealing outfit.
"Bette was always a feminist who stood for women being able to do whatever the F they wanted without judgement!," the singer wrote Tuesday. "Not sure where that Bette went but I want that sexy mermaid back!!! always a fan no matter what my love."

Midler responded with a tweet of her own where she commended Grande for her talent and slightly denounced her former self.
About my screed on @ArianaGrande , all I can say is, "Spoken like a reformed old whore! She does have a beautiful voice, on a couch or off."— Bette Midler (@BetteMidler) November 26, 2014
