Cyndi Lauper & Patti LaBelle singing 'Reach' (tribute to Gloria & Emilio Estefan)

Cyndi Lauper and her dear friend in a magical duet of 'Reach' paying tribute to Gloria and Emilio Estefan at the Gershwin Prize.

[@sandramcgehee8620]

So true

[@cceverythinginredc7227]

@Chris Green Cyndi has to go within boundaries that suits the arrangement. I don't think cyndi was trying to keep up with patti. I mean I'magine cyndi singing over the top of patti to out sing her or the other way round it wouldn't sound beautiful like it did. People seen to think it's a competition they are not on the voice they have sold 150 million records between them.. they are performing a song to sound pretty lol. It's not a competition...

[@cceverythinginredc7227]

@Chris Green well its an opinion isn't it because for mine cyndi wins hands down. The song was arranged so that cyndi sung first and patti last. There was no battle it was just a song. Lol cyndi was probably just not use to someone like patti singing on her song so it probably confused her somewhat. I'm sure doesn't mean she's a better singer get real. They are as good as each other. There's no denying Pattis got talent but they are very different cyndi has better qualities in her voice than patti and vice versa. It's a good match up sounds great.

[@anthonycoleman9593]

I don't know if anyone noticed but Pattie was looking at the teleprompter throughout the first half of the song (obviously didn't know the song by heart). The amazing part is, she got through it without most of us even noticing. Being the great singer that she is, she improvised and adlibed the rest of the way until the end. Years of doing concerts and singing live paid off for her.

[@blacksandals4731]

Anthony Coleman Patti Labelle NEVER knows the lyrics. That’s her thing! That’s why she screams through the second half of every song!

[@patgorden5002]

Duh...lol

[@Pistolwhipperz]

Practically all singers use teleprompters to their songs in performance and you never realise. Especially as they get older. It's mostly because people like yourself make such a big deal about it.

I would imagine that she knows the song, BUT with the writer/ originator of the song right there you would want to get every word right! It is very nerve racking to ding a song in front of the person who performed it especially in a tribute situation. I LOVED seeing Patti and Cyndie duet again. I wish they would record together sometime.

Actually Miss Patti LaBelle sounds really good on this particular.... But she is almost 75 years old, yes her voice is not what it was ,it doesn't supposed to be.. but she sounds really good on this video, better than what I've been hearing of her recently, but I've been a die-hard fan of Patti LaBelle and I am 41 years old now.. and I've been rocking it with her ever since... I will always love her, I have watched her come down through the years singing and singing, she has been pouring her heart out for many many years with that voice...
