Ledisi is the most amazing singer. Every single time that she covers an artist she makes it her own. The way she pierced the ceiling with her vocal range is simply breath taking. Love her.

[@tangled55]

Ledisi didn't need the band, the background singers, the light, nor anything else. Not even the microphone. She WORE THAT OUT, gurl. She is an AMAZING singer.

[@diandrachess4305]

She gave me chills. Marvelous voice🤌🏼🤌🏼🧡

[@diandrachess4305]

I agree. 😊Not many vocalists can do that

[@brucearchie8354]

Ledisi is one of the most under rated singers...she did that!❤❤❤❤

Ledisi was the PERFECT singer for 'New Attitude.' Those powerful notes came out of her mouth effortlessly.

Ledisi is my favorite artist. She is sooo underrated and an awesome vocalist.

[@jer10100]

The first 3 lines she sounded just like Patti herself I thought it was lip sync for a second haha

[@masterhomeguru2064]

@@jer10100 I completely agree 👍. I had the exact same thought.

[@IWeasel]

One of the best voices of this generation!

Absolutely!!!

[@romariobrown6195]

Oh yes

[@Tiptoe-zw2vt]

Actually Ledisi has been around for at least 30 yrs. She had her own label...one of my favorite CD's of hers is The Soul Singer....AMAZING!

[@kreatingkim1895]

Indeed!

This made me wish Vh1 Divas would come back. To have different female artists from different genres all in one room. Ledisi demolished this performance.

Awesomeness!!!!!

No crumbs left! 😊🔥

[@Only1QueenOfEverything]

Yes! 🔥🔥🔥

[@jeffreydavis717]

Ledsi has a trained delivery in her vocals. That was indicative of Jean carn and other talented female RnB singers in the 70 and 80's. No gimicks nor bumping a grinding or exposing have of your butt to keep the Audience captivated. She sings without all the dramatics. That I love and respect so much her talent. Brava...

[@BigTaiMoney]

That intro MY GOD!!! Just like there is only one Ms. Patti LaBelle there is ONLY ONE Ledisi. That is how you honor a legend 😁😁❤❤❤!!!!

[@Thee_Mranderson]

I said the same thing on IG This intro is everything!!!

[@GH25-n8z]

Ledisi knows how to make an entrance!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@sheliareliford567]

Only one Ledisi!!!

[@len1975]

Lesisi ate that!!!

[@taytheetaurus]

Easily one of the best covers of this song & this is NOT an easy song to pull off. Ledisi is hands down one of the most underrated vocalists of our time!!

[@raydavis1539]

The song is breathy af and 500 key changes..definitely not easy

[@lizmariequinn]

Cuz who else culd cover this in this way!!

[@rhonda8566]

Saw her on the Capital Jazz Cruise back in January she was simply amazing 👏🏿 🤩

I’ve watched this an unhealthy amount of times.

[@Timothy_LaDon]

I thought it was just me. At least 3x a day

[@teemensa18]

I’m right there with you. Guilty!!

[@ACEKYNG_]

Her pitch control is insane those notes were dead center to its pitch. Amazing

[@treymarks4122]

Ledisi is a textbook spinto soprano-her voice is mature, full bodied and weighty yet bright! Very few singers can sing a Patti record live and do it justice!

[@ah7910]

Dunno what have of what you said means but i agree. Fart it out bro

[@papajaighh2605]

I came here to say thank you for bringing culture into the conversation!!

Somebody please give Ledisi ALL her flowers NOW!!!! She did Queen Patti proud!!!!

[@Dr_feelgood_zw]

This is an audition to play Patti in a Movie 🔥🔥 Well done Ledisi🙌🔥

[@kevintucker6007]

I was thinking the same thing

[@derrickbelmar]

Yes ledisi should definitely play her because I see it now and heard it I hope patti decides to do a movie after this performance.

[@kandakeedits1546]

I certainly do hope that she is in play for the part because it appears that some are suggesting that Fantasia be handed the role outright. While Fantasia has the energy and is a talented singer indeed, I'm simply not convinced she has the vocal stamina or the range to execute Patti's songs all throughout an entire biopic and consistently pull off vocals of this caliber.

[@MercedesSenna]

I am here for it. No other applicants need apply. She absolutely should play the part of Patti in a movie.

[@marcosmith4764]

@@kandakeedits1546Well when Fantasia tribute Patti numerous of times, she be about to have convulsions because Tasia be tearing that mic up.

[@justincartwright252]

Ledisi is one of the most full-voiced sopranos on the planet. Those high notes are right in her wheelhouse. She's not straining, screaming, reaching - it's full chested belting. And the pitch is PURE. When I hear her sing the only thing I think is, "This has to be what heaven sounds like. God is pleased." 😂💯

[@TemujinScott80]

Ledisi ALWAYS siiiiings!!!!!!

[@florazul5240]

And NEVER DISAPPOINTS ❤

OK HER VOICE WAS DESIGNED FOR ALMOST ANYONE WITH POWER HOUSE VOCALS 🤣✊🏾🫶🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🎤🎧🫶🏾✊🏾🐐👑

I beg to differ. Ledisi doesn't just siiiiing, the heffa blows her face off! 🤣 🤣 🤣

Ledisi and Fantasia should go on tour together just doing covers. We would pay top dollar for them. They both can sing ANYBODY'S song RIGHT!!!

[@kevseb66]

YESSSSS LEDISI YES!!!!!! She sits right on top of those notes and sings them just like Patti with a bit of her own genius.. FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE AS ALWAYS!!!!!

Ledesi can sing the alphabet and I'd STILL be intrigued. A gift, truly.

[@therealmerom.]

She really mimicked Pattis vocal inflections and mannerisms down to the wire and still kept the song as her own. This was a top tier tribute especially when Patti start flapping her arms, Mama came to eat like it was thanksgiving dinner 😂. Ledisi!! Sheesh!

[@juliushall2363]

ONE WORD: SUPERB. She completely embodied the spirit of Patti LaBelle. From the dramatic start, facial expressions, and her vocal range. One of the best tributes to Patti.

[@peacefreedom4930]

I’ve never ever heard another person besides Patti sing this song well, until today. This was satisfying. ❤
