[@DianneReevesFan]

Patti blew that song out the water, which is why Aretha looks pissed. LOL I have never been able to decide who is the better singer, Aretha or Patti. And why should I? They are both INCREDIBLE soul singers. In terms of sheer talent, you cannot ignore that Aretha wrote a lot of her hits. She also played the piano on most of her recordings. And whether she is given proper credit, she really directed most of her early Atlantic sessions. Few singers can touch Aretha's offstage musical talent. BTW if I had to choose, I'd rather be filthy rich and big-hearted like Tina, who rushed over to congratulate Patti on a stellar performance.

[@simplymj9032]

DianneReevesFan: oh What's that stellar performance sir/ma'am?? When was that? Do you have a link on that?

[@PetroleumJellay]

I think they are equal in terms of belting and range, but I feel Patti has a more unique voice & style. She does more than simply belt and raise her voice. She offers growls and I just love that little thing she does with her voice where it just effortlessly slides into head voice.

[@DianneReevesFan]

+PetroleumJellay Honestly, I prefer Patti. But I believe that is more of a generational preference. Many of the jazz greats, including Sarah Vaughn and Dinah Washington, considered Aretha to be a stunning jazz vocalist, per her early recordings.

[@jemangedessaucisses206]

You're right that they're both incredible soul singers; however, Aretha's voice, as lovely as it is, has never given me the chills. Patti's, on the other hand... In this performance, when she's singing "I need you" around the 2:40 mark, it just does something to me -- it moves me. When I watch Aretha perform, most of the time I'm thinking, Aretha is fat as XXXX! No shade, I'm just saying that Patti's voice captivates me. When Patti sings, the world falls away and all I hear is that glorious voice.

Back when people used to be able to sing without ear plugs and didn't do 50 million unnecessary vocal runs and ad libs. Just strong, unbroken, notes and pure emotion and feeling. Since the invention of auto tune, and whatEVER they use to make some of these singers sound like they have more than struggle in their vocal cords, no one has to try anymore to be "talented." That machine needs to be up for a lifetime achievement award. Now Patti did outshine Aretha's original, but that's what you're supposed to do when you pay tribute to someone. You don't want to do a mediocre version of their song, so you do your best. She did that and unfortunately, Aretha felt some kinda way about it. Body language speaks volume. But such is the behavior of a diva, you take it and keep it moving.

Patti is loud and that's where that argument starts and stops. Aretha is 100x's a better singer than Patti. The musicality and meekness of this song is lost in this perfomance. Patti is entertaining and can hit some amazing notes, but vocally she is not worthy to be compared to Aretha. If you define great singing by how high the volume is that's the only sentence Patti would be mentioned in with Aretha, then that's the only way they are even comparable. But Aretha's interpretation, melismas, intonations and soulfullness, and skill kill every other thing Patti does vocally.

I say Aretha is the Queen of Divas

[@LittleJ1576]

I like how at the end when Patti saw Tina Turner as she was walking away, she turned back and was like "Oh, hey gurl!" {in the voice only Patti can do} and gave her a hug! Lol, I love how down to earth she is.

[@DollyMat]

Wow, goosebumps... can't believe Aretha didn't drop a tear to that performance. I thought all this rivalry was a joke but here you can see the shade' is real. Very sad and this was years ago.

[@Worme95]

+Dolly Mat Maybe she was thingking about this performance when she shaded her at the white house year before last. LOL

[@mpoemp4703]

Watch Got 2b real and youll know why

[@drel1793]

Dolly Mat she did she tear up quite a few times

[@RobinRichieProductions]

Did anyone catch that 'wink' Patti threw Aretha after she and Tina parted?!? Ha!!! I LOVE IT!!! Bravo, Miss Patti... BRAVO!!!

[@carolynharris5992]

Oh my Ms Patti you sang that song, beautiful

[@adedjd5349]

My fav Aretha song! Aretha doesn’t looked upset to me, she looks proud to her someone sing her song the way it was supposed to be. When you give tribute to someone you don’t do it half-assed you give your best. Aretha.knows that! Well done Patti

[@Michelle-jz8vl]

Pattis music and vocal skills has always literally brought me to my knees.. She’s just my all time favorite female singer of all time 💕💕. Aretha’s emotions has always been just that unbothered and flat. Rip! That hug at the end felt more like yea, ok.🙄

[@aprilryals]

Patti Is so sincere when she performs, she get caught up in the music and forget about everything else... I love how she can control the audience just off her voice. The antics she pulls. And near the end how she did the high note like the background singer thats Ms.Patsy

[@r.lolacooper2025]

Love what Patti did with it! But, Aretha's soulful rendition got me all in. No need to compare, two different styles. From 2 extremely talented ladies. 🤩🤩 Nothing but Joy that I grew up with singers like That! 👏👏👏

[@SoulSir]

Patti sung this tune from the top to the bottom. She sounds wonderful.

[@earlrodgers8124]

A Queen singing to another Queen Amen!

[@sylviamckinley266]

I remember watching this performance and I also thought that Aretha was not appreciative of this outstanding performance??.This was one of Patti's best performances in my opinion..Patti will show up and show out!. I detected a little jealousy...which it shouldn't have been..I have to admit Patti killed this song!!

[@sangnboy]

Man you don't see awards shows like this anymore...Patti, Aretha, Tina, and even Rosa Parks was there!! Those were the times!!.........AND I love how Patti hugged Aretha at the end and Tina too :)

[@keonessmith]

😂

[@LoyaltyOriginal20]

My lord Patti !! Wow

[@MoorenaEl]

ONLY AUNTIE PATTI CAN GIVE IT JUSTICE!!!!

[@cassityeliz]

wow. she leaves me speechless. wish we had more singers around like her today. Along with Aretha and all the greats.

[@malikjattir3573]

I always come back to this video. I love music today but I miss the soul that music use to have. I love Patti so much! Aretha Franklin was a musical genius!

[@cherylwoods2377]

The one and only there will never be another like Patti

[@teamjoffery]

How many times have I seen this, and I'm crying my fucking eyes out more than I ever have. This woman is a goddam living legend and anyone who has had the privilege to see her live has me jealous!

[@adamjohan7583]
