Patti in her prime has one of the most incredible voices I’ve ever heard. Her power is insane.

[@Klgray7373]

Her voice unlike sone others with age, never lost a step in her swag!

[@Dimasterim]

@@Klgray7373 absolutely, her voice has declined only slightly with age and her voice was already massive so she still has more power and skill than some girls in their 20s

[@itsnoahonfire]

Patti is the only singer I heard that can rival Whitney in sheer power back in their prime. Patti may even have Whitney beat in that area.

[@newman8180]

@@itsnoahonfire Patti definitely beat Whitney as far as vocal power goes. Then again Patti beat almost anybody as far as vocal power goes. I can't think of anyone who could come close to out belting her especially when she was in her prime. Not even Celine Dion. And she's a powerful singer as well.

[@nesq4104]

@@itsnoahonfire Patti always had whitney beat in power. No second guessing. Patti power was massively monstrous to at minimum 60 years old since performing starting in the 1960s. She has power with no limit, trust me. Have heard her live since 1993

[@OPedroVilaNova]

Patti LaBelle is the BEST Singer of ALL TIME, this Voice is a one gift from heaven for us. She is simply UNBELIEVABLE, true LIVING LEGEND. Patti is incomparable and monstrous. Look, this is not by far one of her greatest performances, there are others, even at a more advanced age, including this year or last year, in which she is simply supernatural! The voice of this legend, it only gets better, it only gets better.

[@nesq4104]

I always describe her what comes out of her as supernatural. I've heard her live many times and what comes out of her is not natural!

[@hinderless5811]

Don’t make false statements. If this is what the best singer of all time sounds like, then your musical taste is very questionable and grotesque.

Patti LaBelle is spectacular

[@damiankeyes8715]

Patti Labelle is known for her rendition of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' since the 70s. I would recommend that you react to her performance of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Live in NY' that she did in the 90's. You will love it!

[@JamesWilliams]

It really is the canonical R&B version. It always trips me out when someone who only knows the ukulele/folk version hears someone do a version inspired by Ms. Patti and they are wow'd. Meanwhile, I'm thinking, it's good, but they copied a lot of Patti's version.

[@dredayalldayerday]

[@tanyaokain6309]

I've been a Patti Labelle stan since I was in diapers. Her voice is so expressive. Only 3 artists make me want to thrown my shoes across the room (that's a high compliment when I am moved to throw my shoes at you). Jazmin Sullivan, Jennifer Hudson and Ms. Patti Labelle. If they ever sang together I would pass out.

[@DAMIAN512]

I don’t know where you came from good brother, but I listened carefully & I just love when people know what they’re talking about. Also, unlike many who do know what they're talking about, it's refreshing to see you genuinely feeling every emotion - it came out naturally as you reacted to Ms. LaBelle’s singing. I'd love to hear more from you & hear your talent as well. Bless up 🙏🏿

[@cynthiagross7392]

Ms. LaBelle is a beast. This performance happened at her age of 69. Go back and catch Patti's earlier performances. When Whitney, Mariah everyone tells you about Aunt Patti, listen. A sheer master.

[@SuperArmandoh]

Patti Labelle is absolutely amazing, you should react to her singing over the rainbow in the 80s. You'd be shocked by the amount of power she had in her younger days!!!! (The performance of her singing in a red outfit, uploaded by the channel phillyTne)

[@JamesWilliams]

YES. That's my favorite version.

[@Zamier1212]

[@popland1977]

What do you make of the post 90s stuff??

[@Zamier1212]

@@popland1977 post 90s Patti is still incredibly consistent but her tone starts to get grittier and post early 2000’s you can tell the higher notes are starting to get harder as a result of age. Overall I still love her!

@@Zamier1212 Yes. Everything changes over time. I imagine (since I’m not a singer) that one has to relearn their new vocal chords. She sounds great.

@@Zamier1212 It's the longevity, consistency, and vocal discipline for me.

[@chaiyehovah7031]

I really love your reactions to Patti Labelle. She absolutely is an extraordinary and once in a lifetime gift to music. It is incredible that she still has this much range and power at 70 years old. Being new to her music, I can see how astonished you seem. She not only range, but there are some songs that are rarely reacted to that are amazing. I really hope you will react to TWO of her greatest LIVE performances EVER: 1) You are My Friend/What a Friend at the Essence Awards (I think year 2000) and one rarely reacted to at all that shows a more classical side: "If You Love Me Hymne a' l'amoure! Truly these are 2 of her very best live performances ever! Thanks so much!

Watch Patty and the Bluebells at the Apollo. She was 18 then and got the 1st ever encore at the Apollo which was legendary. And Patty was doing alot of these things over 50yrs ago. She is a very distinctive singer. Always has been. The song is You'll Never Walk Alone which she still performs to this day.

Patti LaBelle had a song "If You Asked Me To" that was covered by Celine Dion a couple years later(it was same arrangements/note for note). Your comment about AES twang made me think of the nasal qualities Celine can take on.

The ending made that Patty's son decades ago. That's the Patty ending. Sue even did a music video for this rendition of the song. I've met her also and she was very nice. Sang Patty! All the women were amazing. I watched every White House concert series. Even Aretha back in Clinton's days. 😁

[@Coolkem1]

She is well known and loved but I believe very underrated and i think under-utilised by her label. I think because she is a very humble person. She is just amazing and a treasure. Good pick! 👍🏾

[@ancestraltarot3900]

And in case you didn't know... That's why alot of ppl won't get in stage with Patty. She's gonna put sing you. And she does alot of things vocally. She has her bag of Patty tricks and alot of things that are just yet signature. So her singing is very distinct. Extremely. She is a singer who can sang yes and also a stylist in her own right.

[@nesq4104]

People always try to knock her talent. She has many signatures and other vocal capabilities live that I have never heard anyone do. She can literally create powerful vibrations that feel very physical live. Recordings don't capture this aspect. I'm guessing it's some type of vibration incorporating her body. My closest analogy is if you watch a videos of alligators in water vibrate and make the water jump it's like the literal equivalent. She does this and it's one reasons rhe crowd goes wild but you will never experience this through headphone.

[@beingmoi]

I'm quite surprised that this is performance that was chosen, since literally everyone commented that he should react to her performance of this song at the MLK memorial in the red dress. This is far from one of Patti's best performances, but she's still miles ahead of everyone else even when it's not a 100% performance

[@beingmoi]

Rachelle Ferrell did a great tribute performance for Patti in the 90's at a Soul Train Awards, so surely she's also one of the many great singers who looks up to Patti

I know lots of people are asking why would you pick this, but I actually LOVE this performance. This is around the time Patti lost her otherworldly, incomparable belting prowess, though it doesn't show here (she started relying mostly on head voice since 2016). I would say this is one of her last GREAT performances, and around this time she preferred to be more dynamic than earlier in her career, making good use of the more delicate parts of her voice. Gorgeous. I know she would hate this, but it's kind of like a swansong for me. And belting that way until 70 is just so impressive.

[@tamyragraypromotions1678]

Actually this isn't the Patty signature ending. She's 70 man ok. Maybe she can't do it anymore. But please look up an old video. Pretty much the same song but the very ending is different. I have seen her do that ending for a few years now. But the old Patty ending took ALOT ALOT ALOT and not many tried to follow them footsteps. Simply Red tried to do it and actually recorded her version with her blessings l. Jennifer Hudson did the Patty ending at a Party LaBelle tribute and got it right. Can't say I've ever seen anyone else do the OLDER Patty style ending to this song. She basically goes thru her entire vocal range on the word before the last. Why CAAAAAAAAAAAAN'T I. And on that 1 word Patty powerfully scales her entire vocal register. Perhaps she can't do it anymore but dang it she did and it's recorded.
