Exactly, she bodies the lyrics

[@SupervillainDW]

Having that range at her current age is amazing!

[@divatalk9011]

Patti is such a clever vocalist. She maximises her strengths, which is that insane head voice. They climax, I heard overtones of a whistle which honestly knocked the wind out of my sails. She’s 80 in a few months and is hitting notes women half her age could only dream of. An ultimate Diva!

Same. Grew up on some Patti but this performance had me floooored.

[@baobabs727]

The real genius of Patti LaBelle is her mastery of transitions. There are very very few singers alive who can make those transitions from chest to mix to head and back again all the way down from the third octave to E6 and back again.....seamlessly. And with that amount of power, ease and projection? Literally no one in Pop music. Ever. Another genius of Patti LaBelle is the way she has adapted to singing in her seventh nearing her eighth decade. That is a whole other story, but it took a lot of work and skill and has produced some most excellent results. Truly astounding. Let there be No Doubt that Patti Labelle, under all of the stars...the moon.. and the sun above planet earth, is a true original, a national treasure--often imitated but never duplicated--An icon for the ages!

[@nesq4104]

No one period. Pattincan literally hit multiple climax notes in succession. While other singers would only do one not of that series and need to catch a breath to reset and try higher or not even try again at all. Patti is the master at this and that's why the crowds go crazy. Just when you thought she can't go higher she goes higher with more power and adds tones and vibrations and can do another one same breath. You have to be their live to feel the force

[@whitneyhouston1122]

So glad you reacted to one of her best performances from 2023

[@BaddieRiah]

It was a Bb5 but it was SO resonant that it sounded almost like a Bb6, which is obviously whistle tone territory. Patti said I can’t do whistle notes but let me fool yall into thinking I can😭

[@mjanmarino]

It was definitely Bb6, the notes she did after were lower and were D6, C6!

[@KajiVocals]

Nonsense. It's clearly a Bb5. @@mjanmarino

[@mjanmarino]

@@KajiVocals It's definitely Bb6. I have confirmed several times on a piano.

[@KajiVocals]

Listen carefully. The progression itself will invalidate it. Also if you're really in doubt do check it on the spectrogram. It is very clearly just a B-flat 5 with a strong second harmonic. @@mjanmarino

[@mjanmarino]

@@KajiVocals If is truly a harmonic, it's got to be louder than the Bb5. At 4:10 you can hear her sing Bb5, and it's not the same as her note at 3:19 . Again, if it's a harmonic, then it's extremely loud. I do want to point out that at 4:09 she does a quick Bb6, followed by a Bb5. The jump in octave is a lot more obvious there because it's done in succession.

[@jerommelewis]

She is a true soprano

[@carselevators930]

79 and she’s still got it! I almost thought I heard a B6 but she did a great job! Making her goddaughter proud!

[@chrisanthemum7]

RESPECT THE PEN! This song is a great fit for Patti and I hope she adds it to the repertoire

[@divatalk9011]

I agree, it’s a wonderful ballad that suits her so much

[@tylerhackner9731]

Near 80 and still absolutely killing it!

[@user-nf9fx6qv3k]

Just imagine Patti in her prime vocally when she was in her 40's and 50's she was at her peak when most singers were declining. Patti is DIFFERENT. She relies on her upper register (which is her sweet spot) a lot more now but 15-20 years ago she was a BEAST.

[@SMAnthonyW]

Who else but Patti can resonate a Bb5 like that at her age? Queen shit.

[@Bradford196]

We understand there will never be another LaBelle many may get close but Patti is untouchable her spirit draws you in it's something your born with you can't learn this it's a gift from heaven ❤ I don't have much in my personal life but I'm thankful for life and for God putting this woman on the planet in my Era my one wish is that my friend Patrick was still here on this planet he loved Patti so much ❤️ all I can say is thank you thank you God for blessing her soul and giving her the strength to endure all these years and to still enjoy giving us her best Ms. Patti we will keep passing it on and on and on❤

[@christhomas5761]

I think Ledisi is maybe the only living singer I`ve heard on Patti`s level, I just saw her performance of `New Attitude` and she matched Patti all the way , keeping in mind Patti was 40 at the time she recorded it and in her vocal prime. Ledisi is way past 40 but she still killed it . Oh , Jennifer Hudson has range, vocal power and can sustain long notes too but Jennifer`s singing doesn`t really stir my emotions like Patti or Ledisi .

[@Aliasss]

It sounded like a whistle note that Patti did…like a transition from one note, straight into the whistle note. I think it’s the fact that we didn’t even expect it, is what made it so phenomenal.

[@PattiLaBelleBiggestFan]

@@nesq4104 Truth! Facts! She sings better on her very few worst days than these non-singing Tom Fooling You All 20,30, and some of the overtop 40 year olds with movies and bs who can't sing worth a flip. They just run around stage with their cult members swearing they can sing but it's Tom Foolishness and buffoonery. Very few great artists today such as Jennifer H, Fantasia, Ledisi, Tamia, Monica, Brandy and I can't think of anyone else who is worth my money.

[@nesq4104]

@PattiLaBelleBiggestFan that is the perfect summary. They all try to bash the QUEEN. talking about how their artist has better technique etc yet when that artist steps on stage with the QUEEN they get embraced every time. Then they make excuses. It's laughable. It's hard to find someone from 2000 onward I would call a singer

[@ciarrajohnson3849]

Anyone who ever considered this song probably thought the average person would be like 🤢🤢🤢🤢 singing this, but Patti did that (even the bridge and ending). The breath this song takes is the reason for Patti’s alterations, but those alterations were HERS. The way she accounted for that WHISTLE was precious♥️♥️👊🏿

[@chocolateangel8743]

Everybody has said it was a Bb5 with overtone that went up to Bb6. I don't know what any of that means, but there it is.

[@kingjuicy3023]

lol it means the note she sang was a Bb5(b flat 5 is a half step lower than B5 which is the last note before the sixth octave-C6). Overtones are basically the higher frequencies that can be audible when a note is hit. So here the overtone is an octave higher than the note she was hitting- thus you hear a Bb6

[@janlesterlopez1729]

Patti killed it, as always. She’s like the Queen of Tributes 🙌 lol 4:55 you’re probably referring to overtones, or polyphonic notes 😊

My arse would have been crying if she sang my song. And she made it sooo damn “Patti” She gave it that Patti feel. She has a literal human instrument in her throat. Sheesh

[@victorlatimer1009]

I believe they're called harmonics. I think that they can be heard during vocal modulations. 👀 😏 You called it. POLYPHONIC!...Producing two or more tones at once... She incorporates this technique on the song Body Language from the, I'm In Love Again album in 1983, also on The duet with Grover Washington Jr, The best is yet to come 1982, as well as using this polyphonic technique on the song The Spirit's In It 1981. I have to thank you for introducing me in a literal sense as to what it is that Patti does with her voice, at least just one of the many facets of her singing & sangin technique that drives me crazy. I've always been amazed and fascinated by the properties of her voice . Many time's when she's singing it's as if she's taking some spiritual flight, and I feel like I'm flying alongside her. She's amazing. Thanks for the reaction. Keep on keeping on. 💯 ❤🎉

The Godmother is still sangin' High D;s as she is going in 80. But she can still work you with that High E as well. She may not be able to do the High F..who knows but she does still have her range as a Dramatic Soprano (that can change her sound up a bit from fuller, as in the Labelle days to the lighter sound from her MGM days) with stock to thrill.

[@charlesjeffery3998]

I gave up, because you never ever ever ever ever do any of my request videos, and they be some of the best of all time, but Patti LaBelle absolutely MURDERED that song, she MURDERED it, DROPS MICROPHONE, GO TO THE FUNERAL & CLOSED THE CASKET, and then, after that she wld'hv had to turn herself into the Police department, for first-degree premeditated MURDER, because now no one in their right mind, will ever be able to sing that song, as a tribute ever again, and this was the first time I think that anyone has ever even use that for Mariah, and Patti came pulling out pistols, I thought she was going to say something like hero, which is one of her favorite songs, and it's the song she sung last time to mariah, because she almost knows all the words to it, she went through we had to learn this song called, and perhaps of learning and remember it, if only you know, how much that really says about her, because she will forget a new song, that is not hers, what she could get her own songs too, but definitely he likes to giving like a tribute or something, girlfriend on will forget those lyrics in a minute, and then the alignment on the background singers, and start yelling I need my background fingers, really loud like she did at the White house, when she did and no the lyrics to the song This christmas, that she just had have recorded for her Christmas album, and she told to sing those songs, for promotion, since it was Christmas time, and the album, was just about to come out😂😂😂😂😂😂. But it's made up for all of that Patti LaBelle I love you, so much, I love you both, U & Mariah, AKA your God_daughter❤

Now, she's only 52 or 54 and still young. Now, it's only 2023 she already gave up those notes 7 or 8 years ago forever. Isn't that something?
