@@jreyesg90 Y'all still on this "back in my day" nonsense? Plenty of good music, good singers, good performances etc. are still out there. Just because it's not what the radio plays or what labels advertise doesn't mean it's not out there.
I used to think when I saw this video that those were just random people they pulled from the audience cause they couldn’t find the background singers 😂
the entire ceremony was a trainwreck. patti entering the stage earlier than on cue, the late backup singers, using literal cue cards when organizers could obviously afford a teleprompter in 1996, bad sound engineering, some of the microphones were off-sounding and the mic on the last part was echoing.
That day, the background singers were fired, the card lady was fired, the Christmas tree was fired, Santa Clause was fired, even Christmas got a pink slip.
patti saying “i don’t know the song” just gets funnier when you know that a couple of years before this event, she recorded a christmas album which included a cover of this christmas
I don't think you need to learn the words of the songs, per se, in order to record an album. It's a different situational setup. In a studio, you can stop, pause, play, rerecord, etc. On stage, not so much. It's a performance. So, memorizing the lyrics is a must
Well unless you're Mariah, people don't tend to to tour for Christmas albums and litterally never have to think about the song after they leave the studio. Paul McCartney hasn't sang Wonderful Christmastime in over 40 years, but he's sang Hey Jude litterally thousands of times.
The shot of the crowd holding lighters up while she's singing about not knowing the words and having no background singers is one of the funniest things I've ever seen 🤣🤣

This is my first time seeing this😂😅 I'm surprised no one has done a meme on this. But how can she not know the words to such a famous Christmas song lol
This was HILARIOUS from start to finish. From her coming out too early, then not having the words, the facial expressions, the background singers, then still being on the stage when the President comes out. This is HILARIOUS! 😂😂😂
Patti going through the five stages of grief on stage and then turning around to discover the President has appeared is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Bill Clinton coming late was the reason there were no background singers. They got caught backstage when the secret service men rushed to secure the area.
This feels straight out of a movie, from the awkward entrance timing to the iconic background singer, and at the start she couldn’t even say thank you to the audience as the music starts immediately, slapping her forehead at last with the band and the entrance of the president 😂
This was my GF's reaction aswell. "WTF, did they just pull the background singers of the street?" I was crying so hard 😂 I can't imagine how this happened. "Okay guys, you're singing for the president. Put on some rags or a filthy old winter coat and you're golden" I'm dying😂
Oleathia Jones They may have recruited her at the last minute. It happens all the time with music gigs🎼. Especially when people cancel gigs. They’re lucky Patti showed up. But, it’s always a risk accepting a gig with someone holding cue cards and not know which cards are correct. Yikes 😬 🤨

They gave her NOTHING to work with and she still had the grit to stand there and belt her heart out. Anyone else would have left the stage. Not Ms Patti. She's an icon and a legend!
Actually what I guess happened here was that she took very long to introduce him. The arrangement cues his solo but she doesn't read the name. So he just does not begin playing. By the time he is introduced by her, there is just not enough time before she has to resume singing.
The best thing about this video is that she managed to sound immaculate despite all these unfortunate events. Patti's got 99 problems in this video, but singing ain't one!
i'm glad i was able to sing for a certain fairy from the forest who once asked for background singers, and no one could answer at the time. 🥹🫶 hope pomudachis' best attempt to sing for her will bring pomu all the happiness come the holiday season! 💚 _we are pomu forever!!_ 💚
Hi! @1btyflflwr I'm a writer working on an essay on this performance. Would love to interview you about what it was like to be there for this in person, thanks.
My fave Christmas songs Mariah - All I want for Christmas Wham - Last Christmas Patti Labelle - Where my background singers at? The three most iconic Christmas songs period! This being the most iconic live version of any Xmas songs for all the right and wrong reasons MsPatti still SLAYEDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!
Lyrics: Thank- Whooo~ Hey~ Hang all the mistletoe. I'm gonna get to know you better. This Christmas. Where my background singers? WHOO! Ooh baby, baby I- and it's the wrong words on the cue cards, I don't know the song- this Christmas. I'm gonna ad-lib all I can Because I don't have the right words And I have no background singers. Oh I don't- WHOO! This is gonna be a very merry Christmas for you and me, yeah! WHERE MY BACKGROUND SINGERS!?!?

And do like this? I have to. Thank you very much. Now it's my turn to do an introduction. No more singing for me, honey, I already blew. So, but I am coming back to sing again. Yes I am, I'm coming back to sing again AHAHA!
The President and First Lady walking out smiling and waving like nothing is happening while Patti looks upset and confused. It's like she is in the twilight zone where she is the only person who doesn't know what is going on!😂
Only Patty who can sing while complaint and also being confused all at the same time. LOL Even her complaints sounds like a hit song. Lol She’s a gem 💎
On this date (20/1/2024), fans from an English-speaking virtual UA-camr channel recommended this video, in commemoration of her leaving her talent agency. Pomu Rainpuff [NIJISANJI EN] is your channel to take a look around. If you are watching this from the future, the channel may have been deleted or no longer relevant. But at this point, the fans and the talent is watching this simultaneously to create one last happy memory between her fans and her, before her eventual leaving.
Went to go look at your page bc of the comments (100% agree btw lol) and saw your "The Hate U Give" review; literally halfway through that book right now! Crazy coincidence =)
And here we are again. I watch this at least once a year. It never stops being funny. From the moment she got on stage, trouble in the waters with her coming out early, them starting before she was ready, background singers looking like they just got off a city bus…. All of it!
Omg! It’s the background singers looking like they forgot their cue and jumped out the car really quick or they were really her glam that came out from the back LMAO!
At least no one can accuse her for lip syncing.
Anning in Love nowadays singers wouldn’t have experienced something like this since everything’s practically back tracked.
LMAOOOO FACTS
Very true
Lmaooo

When you have a presentation in class but the person doing all the work is absent that day
Osiel Escalante damn u brought back some deeeep nostalgia lmao!!!

OMG! LOL
More like when you have a presentation in class and all of your groupmates let you down
lololol lol 🤣🤗
If there was ever anything that needed to be an SNL skit, this is it!
Imagine how much fun Maya Rudolph could have with a skit centered around this.
Omggg yes!!
I so agree!
YEEEEESSSSSS
But there is nothing to add! This is already a perfect skit. You couldn't write it better than this 😂😂
Can’t get over the background singers jamming at 2:23 like they weren’t missing for half the performance 😂
I used to think when I saw this video that those were just random people they pulled from the audience cause they couldn’t find the background singers 😂
They were smoking in the backroom
And the audience just rocked with it too 😂
She said later that security wasn’t letting them on stage!
@@bridgetdunleavy3549 oh
Patti really said if this is gonna be a train wreck, it's gonna be a pitch perfect one.
A+ with honors for Patti 💅🏻
C- to everyone else for effort 🤡
The entire crowd: 👁👄👁
the entire ceremony was a trainwreck. patti entering the stage earlier than on cue, the late backup singers, using literal cue cards when organizers could obviously afford a teleprompter in 1996, bad sound engineering, some of the microphones were off-sounding and the mic on the last part was echoing.
Absolutely
You hear me! Still SANG her face off 😂
Perrrrrrfection
That day, the background singers were fired, the card lady was fired, the Christmas tree was fired, Santa Clause was fired, even Christmas got a pink slip.
It's what they deserve
Hell, even the audience was fired for being dry
@@Nocturne22 i laugh so hard 🤣🤣
Deceased omg 🤣🤣
The Clintons were also fired (in case you’re wondering how Hilary lost in 2016)
patti saying “i don’t know the song” just gets funnier when you know that a couple of years before this event, she recorded a christmas album which included a cover of this christmas
I don't think you need to learn the words of the songs, per se, in order to record an album. It's a different situational setup. In a studio, you can stop, pause, play, rerecord, etc.
On stage, not so much. It's a performance. So, memorizing the lyrics is a must
She knew the song, she just didn’t know the words 😅
She had the lyrics with her
She knew the words, she just didn’t remember which order they went in
Well unless you're Mariah, people don't tend to to tour for Christmas albums and litterally never have to think about the song after they leave the studio.
Paul McCartney hasn't sang Wonderful Christmastime in over 40 years, but he's sang Hey Jude litterally thousands of times.
The shot of the crowd holding lighters up while she's singing about not knowing the words and having no background singers is one of the funniest things I've ever seen 🤣🤣
😅😅 omg that observation 😅. That was so funny
Fr 😂😂
💀💀🤣🤣🤣
Spot on what I told myself.
This is so chaotic. Patti walking out early and running back in was just the start.
Hahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂
Lmaoooo right 😭😭
That’s what you call foreshadowing lmao
It was a mess from the get-go, this is like poetry!
It was the arms out for me 😂
The “next card honey, next card, WoO WOoOOOoO” took me out 😂😂😂
rofl
Same - that part lays me out EVERY TIME!!😂😂. This has become a Christmas tradition. Heck, it’s an everyday tradition 🤣😂😘
Bring that card back honey 😭😭😭😭
This is so funny.
Patti: 'NEXT CARD HONEY! LET ME SEE THAT CARDIGAN!!!' lmaooo
Patti: 'This Christmas...I'm gonna ad-lib all I can! Because I don't have no cards and no background singers!!!' haha so funny
The zoom-in on the swaying lighters on “🎶I have no background singers🎶” is so underrated
The kids were so confused😂
😂😂😂😂😂
🎄😂😂 No doubt… they swaying to it…
That had me out 😂😂😂
This is my absolute favorite video. She's fighting for her life up there and sounding like a queen doing it
It felt like a fight!😂
Mariah might be the Queen of Christmas but Patti is the Queen of THIS Christmas
hahahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
For some reason all these queens need to have a certain iconic bad performance. 🤣🤣🥰
Amen and aman again!! 😂
And the archenemy of background singers
damn that card lady must’ve been having the largest anxiety attack of her life
Lmfao
Right!
🤣🤣🤣
I just died!! 😂💀😂😭😭
It was definitely a man.

This I my first time seeing it as well. 😂😂😂

Lmao
when she came out at the wrong time though😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lissa St Brave He did say her name twice so i see why she got confused there
Thats should have been the tip off that it was all gonna go wrong
Her facial expression when she realized she came out too early was priceless
any good MC knows not to say the name until the very end. He definitely messed up
A foreshadowing of the legendary mess to come haha
The funny thing about human nature is that if this performance had been "successful" it would have been long forgotten by now.
True 😂😅😭
So true.
Trueee
THAT WAS DEEP AND PROFOUND STATEMENT! SAD BUT TRUE! TIS HUMAN NATURE INDEED!
I think about how if she’d been drunk during, the whole thing would’ve been blamed on her
As someone that’s been to the tree lighting live, it is always such a dysfunctional and hilarious event, I’m not surprised they let Patti down! 😂
Its December 1st 2023, so we're bringing this back 😂
I’m mad the background singers came out singing and dancing like they’ve been there all along!😂😂😂
Neci Johnson Walking like they’re on time

Right, no shame at all, lol
I really wonder what happened to their careers😭

On life!! Actual tears
Lmao the president was there lolololol
She's so funny - she just like "Oh yeah, Bill's here, hey bub."

Patti was the choir, the director and the producer! Amazing!
I think the first error doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. It really set the stage for the beautiful catastrophe that followed
YES

EVERYONE IS POMU
Thank you Pomu for showing me this gem
She sang the hell out of that tragedy
Yes Ma’am! I have never seen this before and I can’t stop laughing!
Lol 😂
She killed it despite the tragedy. Unlike some whistle tone 'diva' who bombed the stage, rolled her eyes, and sighed on stage. LOL
She still killed it despite the unprofessional and unprepared gig. I'd rather listen to her so called "failures" than a lot of other singers
Lawd the Hell outta it
I love that someone made the conscious decision to cut to a camera focusing on her fleeing back behind the curtain.

Why do the background singers look like they just frantically plucked random audience members lmao
They might have been there together and figured they had enough choir experience to help her out. That's how it looked to me anyway lol
😂... they probably did! I bet they were excited too " oohhh we got to sing with Patti on tv!😂
I was expecting a whole choir to come out PFFT.
Those 3 gentle souls volunteered hahaha the real background singers chumped out
They probably were

Can't even think about suing for a breech!

It ain’t Christmas until you watched this every year. As soon as she came out too soon and ran back you knew we were in for a treat!
I'm gonna add watching this to my Christmas traditions 😂
😂😂😂 a whole lot of miscommunication at all levels occurring here. I will now be incorporating this into my Christmas tradition 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
The way she ran back I screamed 🤣🤣 Came out doing the most and then did the church lady run/walk with the hand up
I make everybody watch it at thanksgiving to kick the season off
#WEAREPOMU FOREVER
Thank you Pomu for showing me this!
I watch this every year on Christmas Eve
I'm glad I'm in good company.

I was in the audience for this. I've been laughing every year since because we bought the recording

That's like witnessing the moon landing or the fall of Berlin wall

My fave Christmas songs
Mariah - All I want for Christmas
Wham - Last Christmas
Patti Labelle - Where my background singers at?
The three most iconic Christmas songs period! This being the most iconic live version of any Xmas songs for all the right and wrong reasons MsPatti still SLAYEDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!
KurtisLeeSinger 😂😂😂😂
It's actually Patti Labelle - Next "Cardigan"
KurtisLeeSinger check out Wonderful Dream by Melanie Thornton. It’s a great holiday pop song.
KurtisLeeSinger ua-cam.com/video/2skTbeGuskw/v-deo.html
KurtisLeeSinger The latter of which topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for 65 non consecutive weeks during August.
Ms. LaBelle could have sung her grocery list and slayed it. Actually she slayed this fiasco with her effortless vocal gifts.
She's the best!
Leela Ma Haha you’re so right

Lol so true 😂
Leela La....i almost fell of my couch laughing at this comment.

I have to.
Thank you very much.
Now it's my turn to do an introduction.
No more singing for me, honey, I already blew.
So, but I am coming back to sing again.
Yes I am, I'm coming back to sing again
AHAHA!
IHY for this LMAOOOOOOOOO
OMG! You got the whole transcript right here! 😂😂
Thank you for this lolllllll
One of these days I'll transcribe the whole video 😂
Well this performance didn’t take long to go wrong 😹
The confused kids, the saxophonist playing his heart out, minding his business. I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣
NEXT CARD!!!
She literally killed me at 1:19 when she shouts "OOH I GO! UUUUuhh"
And the keyboard player looking over at Patti. He was holding on for dear life. I am crying!🤣
😂
The President and First Lady walking out smiling and waving like nothing is happening while Patti looks upset and confused. It's like she is in the twilight zone where she is the only person who doesn't know what is going on!😂
Only Patty who can sing while complaint and also being confused all at the same time. LOL
Even her complaints sounds like a hit song. Lol
She’s a gem 💎
ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN
Baby, this may have been a mess, but she sure sang the hell out of all the mistakes. Yes, miss Patti
Kayla Montes amen
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
For real
Kayla Montes she was terrible
@@wallacegary6207 no, Mariah Carey at New Years was terrible
Patti Labelle stumbling and improvising through that entire song is still one of the best performances I’ve ever heard in my life
It's a hot mess from start to finish. It's literally the best thing I've ever seen in my life. 😭😭
@@skepchicaBEST!😂
Exactly! Other performers would probably just stand there and wait for something to happen so it would get fixed😂
Thank you Pomu, this is hilarious😂
On this date (20/1/2024), fans from an English-speaking virtual UA-camr channel recommended this video, in commemoration of her leaving her talent agency.
Pomu Rainpuff [NIJISANJI EN] is your channel to take a look around. If you are watching this from the future, the channel may have been deleted or no longer relevant. But at this point, the fans and the talent is watching this simultaneously to create one last happy memory between her fans and her, before her eventual leaving.
WE ARE POMU💚
Thank you for this. I am so glad I was here. This will be one to remember. Thank you POMU! MY BIG BOSS o7
m8 she said we could break rule 7, not rule 3.
We are pomu !
Christ, what’s all this?
This is the Christmas performance that 2020 deserves
This video sums up 2020 perfectly. Everything that could go wrong did 😂
I love the legendary Miss Patti, but this really does sum up 2020 🤣🤣🤣
Can confirm, laughing my bloody ass off right now!
Nah, next year cuz we don’t want trump to come out and infect patti with covid 19
lolololol!!
I'm dying that she is singing her criticisms! hahaha it's amazing.
Jay Ellis damn u sexy af
Looking around Haha thanks. 😚
agreed
Went to go look at your page bc of the comments (100% agree btw lol) and saw your "The Hate U Give" review; literally halfway through that book right now! Crazy coincidence =)
Jay Ellis Just watched this because you brought it up on your most recent rpdr after show! This was hysterical, thank you.
BIG BOSS SENT ME HERE! WE ARE POMU! 💚💚💚💚
We are Pomu!! Thank you for everything Pomu, you are incredible!!!
OH MY GOD I DIDNT REALIZE THE WHOLE PRESIDENT CAME OUT AT THE END. That really put the icing on the cake lol
Ikr? Lmao I was laughing hard when they announced it 😂😂
LMAOOO
🤣🤣🤣
RIGHT 💀💀💀
Kenny Pahina and it was bill Clinton
I love how she rolled her eyes at the background singers when they finally showed up late at the 2:11 mark lol. She was over it.
Oh my god I can’t stop laughing 😂😂😂💀💀
joetj
My favorite part is clearly when they were walking up and she sings well Well WELL WeLL wELL!!
They had the nerve to be late and lack luster
I was dying, too! She rolled them with the mouth open drop!!! That's when you know shit's real
lmao!
We are pomu, this clip is incredible 💚💚
And here we are again. I watch this at least once a year. It never stops being funny. From the moment she got on stage, trouble in the waters with her coming out early, them starting before she was ready, background singers looking like they just got off a city bus…. All of it!
Omg! It’s the background singers looking like they forgot their cue and jumped out the car really quick or they were really her glam that came out from the back LMAO!
I am not convinced those are even the right singers! The organizers just made those random people get on stage to save face.@@lrs1519
The way she comes on stage too early and sneaks off like a naughty kid 😂😂😂 howling from start to finish
I like how the Clintons are wandering enjoying the performance even if it's a disaster lol. Those background singers really fucked it up lol
You know Miss Patti has forevermore required a stage manager to be on-the-job and on-the-ball for all of her performance engagements from now on 🤣
Satan was trying her, but she still managed to slay the performance! 😂😭😭
Tay Jackson 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Glittergasmic TJ haHAHAHAHA
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Glittergasmic TJ she said NOT TODAY SATAN!😂😂😂
Where are my Background Pomus? 💚
