Patti LaBelle - Aint No Way

[@Swahili14]

Patti LaBelle belting style ain't my favorite thing But her HEADVOICE is one of the richest and most beautiful HEADVOICE ❤

[@RG-if4on]

Wswahili 14 what?

[@lovelydove5996]

Patti has her own gift of singing and Aretha has hers. There is no comparison between them. Both are gifted singers from the Lord.

[@LGnLA]

💯💯💯💯❤

lovely Dove that part 🙄

[@cindrahboo]

You can't praise one diva and tear another down in the same breath. Simply put no matter who is your favorite they each paved the way for the next. Patti made Aretha work harder Aretha made Gladys sing that much deeper. Gladys made it possible for Whitney to come through like a hurricane. They all compliment each other and no voice would be the same without the other. #ittakesavillage

[@kayteeelle]

VERY well said.

[@timjfillinger9397]

+cindrahboo Amen Girl. You said it just right. I love them both and on top of that add Gladys, chaka, Whiltney Sissy, Dionne, Melba and the list goes on. They have all worked to pave the way for the Women and girls of today

[@kayteeelle]

I was reading a fourm once and so many people were downplaying Patti, Aretha, Chaka etc just to make Whitney and Mariah look superior.....most of these other singers probably wouldn't even exist without their influence. To me, there is no 1 "Greatest Singer Of All Time" because there is ALWAYS something one singer can do that the other can't.

[@ezeo9806]

+Tim J Fillinger They throwed the gift away ...

[@MsPoetist]

"Patti made Aretha work harder Aretha" I think Aretha came first, but other than that, you're right.

After meeting Ms. Patti on several different occasions in my lifetime, I am convinced that she is one of the most down to earth, generous and kind people you ever want to meet. Ms. Patti's voice is unique, soulful and powerful! I love that lady to life!

[@ellenmitchell5190]

I feel the same way I worked with her a couple of times on music videos. Also when she would have concerts at the FAMOUS APOLLO THEATRE IN NY. Being in management and a big FAN She was always loved and RESPECTED because of her DOWN TO EARTH SPIRIT AND HER Musical talent, and PROFESSIONALISM. I HOPE TO SEE HER AGIAN SOON. GOD BLESS PATI ! She keeps it REAL. 💯 I MISS WORKING WIH HER I CANT SAY THAT ABOUT EVERYONE

[@deborahking8252]

Patti Labelle is one of the greatest singers that God put on earth. Thank you Lord.

[@yellowlight2563]

She did both Aretha AND Cissy's part. Respect!!!

[@afrolatino89]

Lies she didn't hit that C6 note she just sung lead.

[@afrolatino89]

@Fresh Beast #GameRecongizeGame I hate when a mofo try to hype shit up she's Patti no need to lie she did it Patti way.

[@ssinssg]

@Fresh Beast #GameRecongizeGame not that range is everything, but she's on video decades later sitting on that C. Either way, this is a stunning performance and Patti is one of the few, if only, who can really do this song in a respectable way.

[@ssinssg]

@Fresh Beast #GameRecongizeGame Good point. You're a random internet hater. Not sure why I bothered. Namaste!

[@Acquirecofaceless]

@@afrolatino89 she actually did but to correct you its a C#6

[@ceciliarainge4223]

As a singer you could hear the respect Patti Labelle has for Aretha in how she sung the song. It was beautiful. There were parts I thought she was going to go other places, but she showed much respect and love. You could also tell she really practiced, which I've never felt that before from her. I love you both Patti and Aretha, you are the women in my soundtrack growing up.

[@ceciliarainge4223]

You shouldn't compare them like they do today. That's why the best singers and lyricists don't have contracts. Most are online stars. They just looking for a rare or weird voice that can sing a little and may not even write their own stuff. 90's were the best in music.

[@someonelovesyouhere]

SOMEONE LOVES YOU HERE

[@marvinking9848]

Patti and Aretha were friends, and respected each other's talents.

[@StrongCaramel]

Miss Aretha nods and smiles in full approval. She knew well that if anyone could do this song other than herself and do it with the same huge spirit it would be none other than miss patti. They threw their shade at each other and still had respect for each other and their art. Good job miss Patti!! And lord we sure do miss you miss Aretha. R.I.H

[@iamtrawayne1558]

Aretha threw her shade towards Patti.

[@codywalsh2075]

@@iamtrawayne1558 not according to Patti. They were friends, y'all weren't

[@70softrocker]

Thank you to these amazing women. Aretha, Tina, Patti, Dionne, Diana, Gladys, Roberta. Different voices, styles, personalities. Distinctively different yet United by their shared heritage and culture in music. I love you all ❤️😘

[@isaacortiz4617]

I can't believe you forgot Chaka,Whitney and Anita.

[@LJH_loves_music]

I agree I been waiting for Roberta to get her flowers

[@ajayshinz8427]

she didn't even need background track for the head voice/falsetto, she's self sufficient! queen!

[@chrisgonzales6696]

I'm not gonna lie. Patti can match Whitney's power back in her prime. No doubt about it 🔥🔥🔥

[@onepleiadian]

Patti is a weapon her power in unmatched

[@JefersonSantos-bt1ef]

oh no... Whitney never would match Aretha or Patti. And she knew it

[@ajayshinz8427]

she's like 65 here, her vocal chords still remained so versatile and healthy!

[@johnw2954]

Right, and she not letting em rest either.

[@kevingalino1520]

she's 50 here

[@MrCamp]

And she’d been singing like Patti LaBelle for 30 years before this performance too! Aretha Franklin wasn’t even singing like she was 30 years after she recorded.

[@stphnmunroe]

Her voice is incredible, but you have to admire her hand, facial gestures. They've added to the performance just as much

[@damanibaraka7896]

Some people are great singers but Patti is a great singer and a great performer.

[@emelianemone777]

her commitment to the performance ought to be studied.

[@BlessStargazer2010]

these two go way back......she has sang this song for Aretha many times before.....Aretha knew what was coming. She knows Patti's a strong belter ~ she knew Patti was going in for the kill :) Matter of fact, Patti's probably the only one that Aretha really appreciates singing her song.

[@Melancholyjones]

Starr Gazer you are so very right aretha usually looks unimpressed when someone is doing a tribute

[@LGnLA]

+Roderick Fair LOL @ 'unimpressed'! Her music is AMAZING & only heavy weights like Patti, Rachelle, Lalah could touch her songs.

[@steffanpipkin8927]

She said the only singers she cares for are lalah, Fantasia and Adele, as far as newer artist, because they can actually sing. But you don't have to wonder how she feels about the goat Whitney. People always speculate like Aretha sneak diss. She is upfront about her music

Patti her voice gives me chills. Her high range is incredible. Aretha and Patti are Divas. I like them both ❤️ love them. R.I.P. Aretha you will never forgotten.

[@LittleJ1576]

That band was not ready for Patti! The music lacked that powerhouse punch that Patti always carries with her. You can't play all bland and simple behind a voice like that! You can tell when she turned around she was looking for them to give more, but they didn't, or rather couldn't! Maybe it was the "highly prestigious" occasion, but Patti doesn't care where she is...she gonna sing like only she can!

[@patgorden5002]

Jennifer Holliday gave the best imo at her funeral as she was walked out the church for her final resting place.

Both superb singers with different styles. Aretha & Patti (& Whitney) can "slay" any body's song or music! They've all done it for decades!

I've seen her look that way a lot, when watching another artist do her songs. I don't understand her attitude.

[@umbreoneyes]

Cuz she knows Pattie did her own song better and sings circles around her, that isnt the face of someone appreciative, that’s a “this bitch” face lol

It is insane how powerful her voice is

Wow. Patti smoked, & so did the choir. Aretha is enjoying this rendition as I did, & will continue 2 do so.

Man, she killed. It is so awesome that we are able to watch this when ever we want. One legend honoring another by singing her song. You can tell that Patti put her heart and soul into that and Aretha respected that. This was awesome. Still watching this in 2019, baby. I love Patti and Aretha, but this was one of Patti's best performances.

[@renavarges3852]

I was really impressed with this. Obviously Aretha was too. This is not an easy song to sing. And Patti's voice is so different from Arethas. I just didn't expect for her to impress me with what I think was one of the most heartfelt songs ever written.

[@isaacortiz4617]

Her performance in '93 from the essence awards is better.Check it out.

[@sevanjaimevadi3481]

​@isaacortiz4617 Think so? I'm not trying to tell you you're wrong at all; that's also a great one. I'll say, though: to me, it feels like Patti held back a lot more at Essence '93. She seems a little more comfortable with the song here.

[@locdemperor4378]

Just like if only you knew, Patti LaBelle took that song so far out of orbit that it will never be anybody who will be able to duplicate that sound same thing with ain’t no way it undoubtably belongs to Aretha as Patti LaBelle’s number one fan.

What a voice! Patti and Christina have the best cover performances!!!

[@emmaANDhayes1on1]

I'm not trying to tear down Aretha! I want to acknowledge that first they are two different artists and they convey two different types of emotions in their voices. Aretha is unmatched with conveying genuine sorrow and deep conviction in her notes and Patti is just an insanely vocally talented artists with a chest voice that literally doesn't need a mic in a stadium filled with thousands of people. And I swear this is not an effort to pick one over because I legitimately don't want to do that. I know they're both so great and if I'm honest I prefer Aretha's voice. But what I will say is Patti vocally did Aretha in this song. I am drunk perhaps I'll feel differently about it tomorrow but in watching this performance after hearing that Aretha herself ask Patti to perform this number and her tribute Patti's vocal range assassinated the song and that's not a surprise. Frankly it's more of a surprise that Aretha would even ask her to given her legendary pride and knowing her vocal range but I digress
