I've always said that her and Whitney, and I could never judge between the two of them, who could sing the best, I know we all know Patty has a five-octave range, and don't need a mic,and doesn't have even 10% of the knowledgement she should have, she got her first Grammy in 1992, she had been in the music business by then for over 30 years, and she has two Grammys to this day, why Aretha has like 20, and Diana Ross has a lot, now I'm not saying Aretha shouldn't have the ones that she have, but I will never understand why Doo de-doo Patti LaBelle that way, no one can argue that Diana Ross has a better singer than Patti LaBelle, and her shows are always so completely out,and people talk about how much her audience lovebird, and she gets old one on one with the audience, which is true, but at all those people that bought those tickets, I often wonder why when they buy the album, because she is never sold 10 million albums, on one album meaning, and I think at all the album see record it, all the way back to the bluebells, to Labelle, to her solo career, I think only her album Burin, I'm in love again, Flame, maybe Gems, and three live albums are the only ones that ever went platinum, so this was basically all in the 90s, because Burnin was the one that gave her her first Grammy in 92, which is a damn shame, she's been nominated 10 times,but can only get to Grammy's, and she's never had a show there wasn't sold out that's what I don't understand, like it she has that many fans, then why the hell are they buying the albums, the only hit they had when she was in the group LaBelle, was their first album night birds, but this song Lady Marmalade, but no awards whatsoever, and no platinum albums at all, that's just a downright disgrace to me, that's why when I see people compliment her so, I really just want to cuss em some out,but I don't know which ones are the real fans, and which ones are not, so I can't, I'm a die-hard Patti LaBelle fan, and Whitney Houston things, but at least I have all of the albums, I'm 37, so I started with Patti LaBelle probably at 13, and for Christmas,I got her don't block the blessings autobiography, her greatest Hits CD, Patti LaBelle live in New York CD, her Flame album which was the best album in the world to me, and with Whitney, I think I started with The bodyguard, I have that, of course waiting to exhale soundtrack to, her 98 My Love Is your Love album, just Whitney, which is very underrated, I have both her and Patti LaBelle's Christmas, and I have Whitney's I look to You album, which was fantastic,and her preacher's wife album, that was the best gospel music sung that I've ever heard and I grew up in the COGIC Church, of course I have her greatest hits Album.
@@charlesjeffery1155 Well you have so many valid points. Patti was and still is in the game; and has outlasted so many. I do believe we have the Tortoise and the Hare some of these artists struggle there whole career and have to hustle and some have abundance but get involved in addictive activities which cost them dearly. a lot of this phenomenon between the Divas is marketing. At the end of the day it is who moves Your soul and it sounds to me as if you have picked the best to do the job!!!!
I don’t get folks. At the end of the day, it is to each their own. Yet Beyoncé or Diana Ross can get millions of views while Patti truthfully sings and I don’t see the million of deserved views. This is exactly why I prefer the underdog over the popular chick any day and every day!
@@isaacortiz4617 Now that’s a really great point too. Beyoncé has completely sold her soul for the cult that she controls called fans. And there are a few others too.
The way she request to turn up the volume of her mic at 1:06 - 1:08 only shows how professional she was. I guess her audience didn't notice that as while she was singing.
whfan007 if it sounded horrible u wouldn’t have your eyes glued to the damn video .... as she said NEITHER of them could .... & Whitney and Aretha both had their share of sounding horrible before they died ... so if this is horrible lets say they were train wrecks !
Vocalzz Range Yes I know that Whitney has had her problems and sounded bad on performances at the end but the point is I wouldn’t take a bad sounding note and brag about it. I enjoy tons of performances by Patti LaBelle but this particular note didn’t sound good to me. So you don’t need to be a drama queen and start bashing Whitney and Aretha. Have a nice day.
whfan007 well don’t bash Patti , and also you don’t have to belittle the next woman to uplift another if you want to be technical... if however many felt that This Note sounded great , me being one of many then there was completely no reason for you to come and rain on the parade! I’m not going to bash . I’m stating facts . Since that’s what you considered yourself doing . God bless carry on
@@MrDbroo It's the opening post that "belittled the next woman to uplift another" by bringing up Whitney & Aretha. If the person is impressed with the Patti note then he or she didn't have to bring up Whitney & Aretha into it to uplift Patti. You are complaining about the wrong post. Have a nice day.
Damn! That sounds like it was meant for her! How have I never seen this!! No one can top a Michael Jackson original but she went and did it! Dang, I wish she had included this on an album at some point.
I remember when this aired. This was a TRIBUTE to Michael, he was given one of the Artist of the Year Awards he has been getting that year. This was The Soul Train Music Awards, I do believe and Mama Patti was one of the hosts... Dionne Warwick sang, "Man in the Mirror" on this show as well. Michael was sitting in the front row!! In fact, he ADORED this performance. There is another tribute Mama Patti did for him with Darryl Coley.....that is up on UA-cam as well.
Thang sing a song and post it. One of the only legends whose voice is better today than it was 40 years ago! Discipline don't piss a PATTI LABELLE FAN OFF!
Darrick Long you are very stupid. Patti was not born to live the life that you failed to live for yourself. She has been in the game singing her heart out for many decades. An ingrate like you will never appreciate even if she cut off her vocal cord and hand it over to you
no ability to sing a melodic line. either she rushed the whole line at the end of the phrase or screamed over it. the singing through the nose and the near-yodeling is as awful as the glissando. Michael Jackson is rolling in his grave.

A stunning, consummate performer is the legendary Patti Labelle. She oozes passion and electrifying charisma like nobody's business! Pure brilliance.
Her voice climbed the scale like it Was walking on stairs made of different flavored Starbursts! I tasted every step🌈
Beautiful way to describe her!
Hahaha Lmfao great way of putting it 😂
Loveyoupàttilikeyoy@@bored068
Best cover of this Micheal song ever.
Absolutely!!!!!!
I prefer James Ingram 😉
@@mastro1928 And we don’t 😉
@@k.h.6288 too bad! 😁
@@k.h.6288 😂😂🤣
She killed this song!! 2024 is here and i still love this video
THE VOCAL ABILITY OF MISS LABELLE IS JUST AMAZING
Patti LaBelle
The Queen of Tributes
You know you've made it when Patti LaBelle tributes you😂
This was definitely excellent, however Michael had already made it...
@@SunnyDays70s ??? Didn't you get it.....
Patti did a great rendition of this song and her stage presence was magnificent. Loved the gown Patti!
Only Patti Labelle can sing a DUET by herself.
I DON’T CARE PATTI CAN SING ANY SONG 💛 MIHAEL JACKSON WROTE THIS SONG TO DEATH HE WASN’T PLAYING 😭😭
what
Patti, a GREAT VOCALIST!!!!

Patti didn't sell her soul like the rest.
@@isaacortiz4617 Now that’s a really great point too. Beyoncé has completely sold her soul for the cult that she controls called fans. And there are a few others too.
I never could imagined a so tuned scream like that, only Patti Labelle and only...
I know Michael loved this ❤️
I remember watching this live back in 1989 on tv...OUTSTANDING!!!
YOUR HAIR IS JUST WONDERFUL, PATTY !!!!!! YOU ARE THE QUEEN FOREVER !!!!!!!!!
HAPPY 72nd BIRTHDAY (May 24, 2016) TO OUR LOVING SONG BIRD, MISS PATTI LABELLE! WE LOVE YOU!!!
It's about to be 77 soon. Still moving n grooving
She owns this song, she baked it just like her pies. 2022 pips where u at?
2023.😊
Who can do a siren note like Patti??? (Yeah, I made that one up but it fits. LOL) She killed this song!
I feel you
It's never easy to sing a Michael Jackson song. Lady Patti LaBelle showed that she was one of the very few who could do it.
Easy for her.
Mariah Carey I'll be there is a classic remake too
She did an awesome covering this song.
She is a better vocalist than Michael. Period.
But why did she have to change the song?Michael wrote it in a specific way for a reason
That's Patti LaBelle she will switch it up she's a Gemini very spontaneous artist
Beautiful....my favorite song lovely rendition
she sang it so goddamn good, you forgot whose song it was..
Never that
The way she request to turn up the volume of her mic at 1:06 - 1:08 only shows how professional she was. I guess her audience didn't notice that as while she was singing.
Very good I’m glad you are so observant like I am I clocked that many years ago!
SING IT GIRL
krissyn Tate my baby commenting
Her singing isn't of this universe.
nice song..but I am really impressed with the hair
Angel voice nobody can touch her she’s so dam beautiful
A lane, her lane and no comparison. No disrespect intended for the other beautiful voices God gave us. GOD said I am going to make only one!

Patti rocked this song. Loved her dress. She dazzled.
MY FAVORITE PATTI PERFORMANCE EVER!!!!
Let me tell yall something that scale she ran at 3:35 not aretha whitney none of them could have made that climb and i love Aretha may she RIP
It sounds horrible so I don’t know why they would want to do that...

Nobody could do it any better than Patti!
There's Michael

That's what we called big hair in the 80's. Go big or go home was the motto....lol

So please Dont change the lyrics...
looks like the stove blew up in her face while cooking before going to this performance with zero time to fix herself
GIRL BYE 👋
Ms. LaBelle is a great singer, but I wished she was more disciplined with the timing and the phrasing.
Thang Vuong You will be alright
Thang Vuong YES! It’s SO distracting. It actually ruins the song for me. :,(
Thang sing a song and post it. One of the only legends whose voice is better today than it was 40 years ago! Discipline don't piss a PATTI LABELLE FAN OFF!
Get. Over. It. People have opinions.
David Johnstone Be Quiet
I wish she sing more and not yell as much so I can get a feel of her true voice.
Darrick Long you will be alright..we Patti fans love it
Darrick Long you are very stupid. Patti was not born to live the life that you failed to live for yourself.
She has been in the game singing her heart out for many decades. An ingrate like you will never appreciate even if she cut off her vocal cord and hand it over to you
i like patti but one thing that upsets me is that she always tends to drag or rush....can u just sing the song gal?
I don’t like the way she sings this
You will be alright
but I bet you watched the entire video.
Me either..
no ability to sing a melodic line. either she rushed the whole line at the end of the phrase or screamed over it. the singing through the nose and the near-yodeling is as awful as the glissando. Michael Jackson is rolling in his grave.
You tell him Pat!!!!
He was there back then dumbass.The concert took place in the1980s
He was alive when she sang it dummy! Go away! 1989 duh!
You are a dummy.
Who asked you anything! go away already....
