Patti LaBelle - Gerald Levert Tribute

[@pauljones612]

Who is watching in 2024

[@a.hassanbey5942]

😂😂😂Patti came and step all ova Yolanda soprano!!!😂😂😂💀 respectfully!!!!

[@Juleslive2007]

You guys are crazy, when they invite Patti Labelle they know exactly what they're going to get, she isn't competing she's doing what she's always done, go up there to sing......It's not her style to sit back and wait for someone else to light the room up, she's a blessing and a true treasure and the insults about her is just sad....Great job Aunt Patti you did well.

[@puremusicluveer]

Stephen Williams that was tacky and no respect for the other singer. No matter how you twist and turn it , that wasn't a professional approach.

+puremusicluveer YOU WILL BE ALRIGHT..

[@1953deedee]

Linda Edwards reaggae

[@BasicTruth1109]

you are in error, because Patti and Gerald were like Mother and Son. People who are making more out of this than it is are sad individuals. See the problem is tat "New age singers" don 't sing with the passion and emotion nor expression that "Legends" sing with. Most new age singers ay dance but their body's are stiff when they sing. The Legends let it go and are not concerned about how they look when they sing, and they don't do the ""ridiculous finger in the air note chasing crap". legends didn't/don't oer kill they know when to pour it on and when to take the gas off

[@Ms.PattiLabelle]

When the Queen Comes Out, She COMES OUT

[@patgorden5002]

OK!

[@Professional.teacher]

Yes

[@cheryllewis-moore8873]

Yes she does

[@shortyt9060]

Periodt

[@lifewithtasia2934]

Yes and that’s on Mary had a little lamb🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🤍🤍🤍

[@francoisbessing]

Whoever's idea this was deserves a Grammy. I've seen this many times over the years and what made me choke up today is that Mama Patti is so generous that when she sings she gives her all. She pours it all out so it is all left in the stage. I wish to learn to do the same. To give everything when I sing.

[@cherylking8627]

❤

[@KingNasirofATM]

Gerald levert was pattys godson... she got every right singing her fullest in memory of him... pure expression and love... she is amazing omg

[@KayyyRae]

Exactly!

[@mandyraye6906]

[@reginaclark4021]

Your stupid ass dont no.shit

[@m.j7253]

[@lisabradford8180]

Yes and to lose them so close together, I can't imagine the pain and grief. I pray he and his family have been as well as possible over the years ❤ 👍 👍

[@thembacele9603]

He is a strong man

[@perfectdavila7441]

When Pattie Hit That Stage, Voice, dress, Everything, She Lifted That Song Where It Needed To Be... What A Tribute... YessSssSss Queen

[@marquisg6503]

Yes to the lift!

[@yvettebriscoe3500]

Nobody mentioned Gladys Knight she still sound the same a lot of people say she sound like a man but i give credit where it's due the woman can sing her face off still show her some love too one of the greats love her!

[@ohd00bley]

Gladys is a staple, only a deaf person can overlook her obvious talents and only a tone deaf can mistake her voice and style as manly. I don't say you have to like her, I'm not a Beverly Sills fan, but I do recognizer her talent and skills. There are few singers who've retained the richness of their voice in age as Gladys.

[@KerkinWayno]

Gladys is the best vocalist up there

[@idiosyncraticparadise1655]

Yvette Briscoe Gladys is unmatched!!!!

[@m.j7253]

Yvette Briscoe I still like her too go Gladys.

[@KerkinWayno]

Queen Gladys voice is angelic

[@kittyjohnston7857]

Patti came in... SHUT IT ALLLLL THE WAYYYY DOWNNNNN... YES LAWD!

[@terrypurce2594]

No voice is greater But you can truly say. You feel the love. No one out sang anybody. That's pure love for a ARTIST, A FRIEND A SON. COME ON PEOPLE GET IT TOGETHER. WE ARE CREATED DIFFERENT AND THAT'S IT. LOVE THIS POST. BECAUSE IT'S FACTS

[@Xclusivenig9a]

DId anyone mention the courage it took for Papa O'Jay to get up there? Big UPS!

[@charmainewelch6672]

Truth be told!

[@lisabradford8180]

outstanding performance! eddie singing this tribute to his own son breaks my heart :(

[@yvettewinder1467]

but he did that thang !

[@ifeaustin4382]

Brought tears to my eyes😢😢

[@traceywaller4219]

Yes they did the d thing

[@bridgettehinkson5362]

Very sad

[@letakeokuk5446]

Can’t watch it anymore. 😥

[@terryjohnson8948]

Patti is just being Patti. You know what you are getting. She will show up and show out. Don’t hate.

[@lisawilliams2070]

LMBO the look on Yolanda's face when Pattie came out!!! cracks me up every time...Pattie wasn't having it!! LOVE this beautiful tribute to Gerald!

[@sonyasmith5805]

They had rehearsal.. everybody at choir rehearsal knew it was going to be handled 🤗

[@yourhomeafh7939]

The “step back youngster, I go this”.

[@alesangelalbizu74]

YOUR HOME AFH ExActly Yolanda in her late 30’s and Patti in her 60’s

[@205jarvis]

I never saw that before. Priceless. 🤣🤣 I know here exact words were look at this bitch🤣

[@mizzkaykay93]

Lmfaoooo she was tight

[@cclarke0321]

Only Eddie and choir can keep up with Patti. Patti has been singing like that for years and I love it.

[@keniarobinson8826]

Aunty patti turned up and showed out 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@MrElicer]

Oh patti has to sing alone coz she always owns the stage. She swallows them whole. Gladys seemed used to it but Yolanda is like "Im not singing with her again." Lol

[@patgorden5002]

you got me laughing so loud in my house lol

[@KerkinWayno]

NOt when Gerald was alive they use to go toe to toe

[@ON-ck9eo]

MrElicer I swear she swallows them whole indeed. Amazing

[@taneikaallison9899]

MrElicer 😂😂😂

[@yvettewinder1467]

funny but true

[@ScoobyDooDoo415]

@ 7:17 Gladys is like just sing chile....I ain't even gon try right now. lmao... Love them all.

[@Juleslive2007]

This was a blessing and no Patti wasn't trying to upstage anyone, she was being Patti, put your heart into what you do and the rest will follow, that is her art please look at it over, she never did anything to outshine anyone, if you knew her you would know she's not that way she just enjoys the emotion....I love Yolanda- Glady's and especially Patti, this was an amazing performance from all but Patti went all out.....

[@olympusman2004]

SHE WASNT SUPPOSE TO BE A PART OF THE TRIBUTE BUT SITTING AND LISTENING BACK STAGE SHE KNEW GERALD NEEDED THAT SONG TO BE LIFTED AND THAT SHE DID. SHE WOKE THE PLACE UP!!

[@mystapaul]

yolunda appeared to me like she needed help she sound like she couldnt hold that note any longer soooo patti said i got you you just entered my atmosphere

[@anitasneed653]

Looked like Patti just cut Yolanda off in mid stride

[@yvettewinder1467]

Trust me, if you can really sing like Yolanda Adams, Patti has already given that lady her props the very fist time she heard her. Patti is. Thing I love about Patti, she's not a hater, she Loves to builder people up.

[@KerkinWayno]

Yolanda Doesn’t need help WTF lol. Pattie and Gerald are close and that’s the difference.. look up Pattie and GL together they show out when it’s them two

[@ANDREOFDALLAS]

Lol.

[@dk5802]

😂😂😂

[@dcurtis0604]

Everybody else stopped single and just let Patti have it !!! 😫😂😂😂😂

[@TransformedSoul466]

The thing about Patti didn't give a damn about Yolanda's fave. Patti had already been hit by the spirit and was going in. She probably didn't even notice.

[@ANDREOFDALLAS]

Seems like when Patti came on stage her voice and presence is so powerful. My GOD, has truly blessed her.

[@joejoeharrell6737]

Hurricane Patti category 5 blowing hard!! Queen Labelle but what an amazing tribute they did !!

[@foxybrnlegz]

Love all these artists but especially love Ms. LaBelle. She, like Gerald, never goes half way. It's all or nothing. Some ppl may not appreciate her style but to me (and a lot of others), she's golden!!! I really don't know how Eddie was able to perform this at all. I was sobbing just looking at him and the photos of his wonderfully lovable son. Rest in eternal peace, Gerald. We will always love and miss you!

[@MusixMan81]

So POWERFUL! Emotional tribute. People don't sing like this anymore. They should!

[@francoisbessing]

No they sure don't.

[@natoshyareed-barnes9548]

AMEN!!!!!!

[@Karl671]

Yup

[@nicolasrosario2037]

Im only 28 born 92 and i only got to learn about Gerald levert thru his music. And as a fan this is such a beautiful tribute. GL the goat 👍

[@traiigeetv]

when patti came out mmm, yu can tell she put her soul into it

[@SeerTrulth]

Jesus Christ, Eddie, then GLADYS? They must have had to add wood under that stage to handle that load. Talent planet. Crazy. I'm crying.

[@ScoobyDooDoo415]

lol

[@darreylhenderson8979]

Patti Sang a version of this song way back in the 80's during her 'Look to the rainbow tour'. She sang it here the same way she's always sang it. Educate before you hate

[@sherardauditions8895]

Truth. Greatest version ever to this song, dedicated to her sister Jackie.

[@JrLove-xh3uj]

Still to this day I cant believe he is gone. I can hear the pain in all of their voices!!

[@missybrown2971]

I love Gladys knight's voice

[@tfreedmanthe4653]

@@dianebutler7889baby yolanda looked pissed 😂😂

[@smoothmoore27]

Go Patti... She has took over the song.

[@Tobias_2024]

GREAT tribute.....I don't think Patti intentionally overpowered Yolanda. It almost seemed as if Patti came out too soon...she just couldn't hold back, but that's PATTI.....She was definitely, without a doubt born to do what she do...and that's GET PEOPLE OFF THEIR FEET and feel the presence in the room...LOVE HER!!!!and Yolanda

[@datboyk4861]

Yolanda was big mad

[@shortyt9060]

Ms.Patti came and shut it down.. i love you Ms. Patti

[@OPedroVilaNova]

Patti is the best Singer of ALL time, this voice is simply unbelievable, unbelievable. The Legendary Godmother of Soul! SHE CHANGES THE ATMOSPHERE!

[@aliciaamariiprincewilliams7765]

When you see rappers with heads down during these songs it let's you know even more that they too are going through something and the song hits just right for them.

[@anggipardede9424]

Patti is a great singer and none of the ladies has her voice not Beyoncé , Yolanda , but it was a tribute and she sung from her heart about a godson she loved. Gerald and his dad are so so amazing.

it's 2016, and Gerald is missed more, and more, and more.... forever and a day.

[@alesangelalbizu74]

this is real life proof of god's woderful work. We have Patti who was in her 60's there and Yolanda who was in her late 30's and Patti belting those notes perfectly is amazing. she's singing with so much emotion this tribute was full of love. You can see Eddie looks at Patti like wao this lady is a queen @ 7:38 This was the best

[@shanequaaustin8908]

Patti killed it first time seeing this performance ❤

[@teammmx]

Eddie Levert singing his heart out for his baby boy. That was incredible

[@abby192919291929]

I always gets goosebumps when patti comes out... this was amazing keep watching it over and over.

[@HUMBLE1]

NOW THIS IS HOW YOU HONOR A LEGEND!!!! Not by sending out "Z-List" singers to "chop & screw" what actually made the Legend a Legend. Patti's vocal entrance is most often Stellar !!

[@cindywalker8645]

Gerald Levert songs stir up everything inside of me. I hope he found love and happiness in Paradise. Missing G L ...a fan for life!!! A great tribute to Gerald by people who knew and loved him

[@tasafarrah7444]

I have no idea how he and Cissy Houston (Whitney's Mom) were able to sing tributes to their children. I was crying like a baby.

[@idelsonjardin7618]

Clap your hands everybody. 😢

[@TheMsLady4Real]

Please don't go on stage with Ms.Patti unless you're Mr. Levert Sr. because she will do her thing and it's just her natural voice I don't think she tries to out sing anyone, she just has a phenomenal voice and it takes precedence over meek voices!

[@SharonChappel-gq1bz]

Beautiful song reminds me of my mother I am definitely the wind beneath my mother wings all 12 of us she had 6 girls and 6 boys ! I delicate this song to my mother ❤ cause I know I would of been nothing without her in my life.! I always wanted to meet Mr Eddie LeVert and hear him and Eddie sing this song....

[@eugenepruitt2936]

That is a lot of pain in those voices! Cant help but to be moved.

[@AprilLashon]

Happy Heavenly 55th Birthday Gerald Levert 13 July 2021!❤️

[@marqware]

I think Patti couldn't hear when her time was coming and came in to early. But I get tickled every time I see this I still love me sum yo.

[@bmac2310]

It was rehearsed that way. Lower voices then the bigger voices. Patti is a dramatic soprano so she’ll easily out belt Yolanda. That’s why they had her over power Yolanda’s note like that during the bridge.

[@shortyt9060]

Ms.Patti went all the way out for Gerald and he did for her tribute some years back on BET….love it

[@chickable26rollerchick37]

I Love This Rip Gerald Levert You Are Gone But You Will Never Be Forgotten Thank You For Sharing this Brings Tears to my eyes I Know that This Song Was Very Hard for Eddie To Sing About His Son Eddie May God bless you.

[@4whitenita9]

Beautiful tribute to a beautiful gift God gave the world. Gerald was a uniquely gifted person and singer.

[@koffeblk]

This trubute gets me everytime! Pops getting up there to sing and having those ladies killing the vocals with him was amazing. Patti was so emotional, she loved her Gerald! ❤❤❤
