Once again you've impressed me beyond measure. You understand something most don't: the theory/graphics showing what is required to achieve a particular sound but you also understand that when God made Patti La Belle the blueprint was destroyed. So it is with the greatest of them all. Thank you good sir for being so knowledgeable, articulate & respectful.
I truly appreciate this reaction video. Not only because it's Patti LaBelle but because someone whom technically understands the vocal excellence that is Patti LaBelle. Honestly she has so many performances over the years that are mind blowing. A lot of people reference the same ones a lot. But there are some golden gems out there which need to be discussed. Medley of Somewhere Over the Rainbow/When you've been blessed from Arsenio Hall. Sentimental Child from an honoring Broadway classic. (This one alone is beyond insane) Love and Learn from the late 70s. Unreal!
Me, too. And this is not even Patti's best version of this song. There are other versions where she sang it much better in my opinion. So I hope he reviews those.
This is the best analysis of a singer’s voice ever! He gets a 💯A++++++++++! Like you, I have been looking all over for this and I came upon it today and he made my day!!!! Brilliantly done!
Actually, years of belting and age has taken it's toll on her vocals. And as a long time fan, you can always speak truth, because she isn't as good as she use to be, but let us not forget how EXCELLENT She was. And I give her every props I can that she set the standard when it comes to belting out a song from start to finish. I don't hold any animosity for her not being able to do what she did then, as opposed to what she does now. She is one of the greatest up there with Whitney, Aretha, Gladys, Natalie Cole, Celine Dion, Phyllis Hyman, Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson.
you seem uneducated. it’s practical knowledge to know that EVERYONES voice changes over the course of your life. patti is 79 and STILL on tour. please have a seat ❤
True! I saw her last December. Brought my dad, who saw her many times solo & with Labelle way back when. She was in EXCELLENT voice & he was blown away by how great she sounded at almost 80 yrs old. We had a BALL.
She performed this song at Essence. She literally walked to the other end of the stage without the microphone and we could still hear her in the nosebleed section. Not a dry eye in the house - amazing
Patti LaBelle I Can't Complain (with bonus of Somewhere Over the Rainbow) on the Arsenio Hall Show the 6:20 min version. This night I tell you! No one ever talks about this video BUT this here folks is the one to match. I've never in my life heard another singer attempt to sing two songs back to back with that much intensity, power and vocal presence. If anyone gets some time to watch or react. This is one to truly watch. 🙏🏾
My favourite version of Ms Patti singing this song! There’s a couple of other Soultrain ones that do compare. When she sings she lets the spirit take her, and us to that other place! To hear your technical analysis of her voice really shows her brilliance, “courage, strength and charisma” in a way I’ve not seen before. I knew she has incredible skill as a singer, I just didn’t know the correct names for them. I just loved your reaction and I was feeling you at every pause. Please watch and review Forever Young from Live Aid, I Can’t Complain from Arsenio Hall Show and Since I Don’t Have You from ‘77-‘78 concert, there’s so many more! Thank you 🙏🏽
Your description of “it’s like listening to an amazing trumpet player” just goes to show your clear and deep understanding of not only vocals and techniques, but music in general. You’re awesome. As soon as you said that, a video I’ve seen probably over 30 times seemed new and better.
I want to thank you so much. It is so wonderful to see someone of your expertise and knowledge validate what a magnificent and talented singer Patti Labelle is. She is a master of her craft and yet naysayers say she is just "screaming" and over singing. Your comments have made me understand why I have just loved her singing instinctually. Thank you
I would love to hear your review of Lisa Fischer’s live performance in Japan for her song “How can I ease the pain” she kills it and seems like she has great control and so many different levels of her singing voice. Just an awesome performance that I think you would enjoy analyzing. I hope you get a chance to review it.
I think the only people who consistently deliver this kind of conviction are gospel singers. what I love about Patty is the immense energy she puts into a performance. If it weren't so exact, it'd almost be manic. it's mind blowing to be able to "go there" and still have some of the best technique in the world.
@@LesageSinging ...the performance was for the celebration of the late great DR MARTIN LUTHER KING'S BIRTHDAY a NATIONAL HOLIDAY....that is the emotional subtext to the performance...his wife CORRETA SCOTT KING shakes her hand at the end of the performance...it was a HUGE MOMENT IN AFRICAN AMERICAN CULTURE AND POLITICS....
Please do a reaction video of Patti Labelle singing "Forever Young" at the soul train awards. That is one of her most iconic performances. Also look at her somewhere over the rainbow performance from her live album in 1998.
You couldn’t close your mouth. This is what Ms Patty does, babe. Yes, what a vocal experience for us all. All that from the black church. Sanging. Thanks for being open.
I would argue that her upbringing in church was an education of incredible quality. I am not sure how Beulah Baptist Church was when she was growing up, but I imagine its not so far away from how excellent it is now.
You know what? The entire premise of my following you was about a month ago of you reacting to Patti LaBelle singing this song at the White House at 70. Such a nuance performance I had never seen anyone react to despite knowing how gold it was and I’m so proud of you for finally covering this ULTIMATE, prime Patti version. Salute!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you my lord someone finally gets it, Patti voice is phenomenal and yes its like being in a room with 4 walls and no windows while listening to instruments which are really her vocals ♥️
You thought it was gonna end right there? Nah, Auntie Patti was just announcing she was about to burn that sh!t down. She is the queen of taking it home.
Patti is also literally the only singer who I can think of who got better decade after decade. I'd say her vocals continued to improve into her 50s probably and didn't start vocal decline until her late 60s
I real liked your vocal analysis of Patti. Her voice is one of a kind. Her head voice got higher as she got older in her 50's. Patti use to eat F6's for breakfast.
She plays her vocal tract as if it were an instrument. Incredible. Anyone that is familiar with her inherently knows how talented she is, but thank you for allowing me to appreciate her in a more technical context.
You should react to her singing "You are my friend" @essence festival in her white pantsuit....she gave her all and some of the best musicians to ever accompany her!
Patti approaches belting from an almost operatic perspective. I heard she had training, though probably not extensive. Her technique is brilliant even though it is probably haphazard. Her influences are mostly jaz singers like Gloria Lynn, Diana Washington, Nancy Wilson, James Moody. She came up singing pop standards, then rock, then RnB. I think her technique is mostly intuitive. She could have benefited from some training or more extensive training than she got. ruclips.net/video/7T4PMb6FqPE/видео.html She talks about vocal training here.
@@craig6363 it's largely intuitive. She wasn't in a choir that long that was pre bluebells. She probably only had training in her 60s as her voice deteriorated from age and having to use her voice differently is my guess
EXCELLENT analysis. LIVING LEGEND, Ms. Patti 'BADASS' Labelle, in her prime, was a vocal BEAST, on another level. UN-TOUCH-ABLE!! Unlike most singers, Patti Labelle, not only hears the music, she FEELS the music.
you need to react to Patti's Somewhere Over the Rainbow/When You Been Blessed performance on the Arsenio Hall show, Patti singing What A Wonderful World, Patti with Luther and Gladys doing a tribute to Smokey Robinson, Patti singing Forever Young at the Soul Train Honors show, and lastly for pure fun...Patti singing Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend. she completely shows OUT in all of these performances. you seriously need to check them out.
I am so glad that you are professionally doing the break down on this human bird, as we hear them sing but no one is taking the time to break it down to inform us on how they do it. THANK YOU 🥰
Excellent comments and analysis! Growing up in a family of musicians and singers - I can vouch for the "training ground" of the Black gospel choir! It taught one to develop an "ear," regardless of knowing how to read music (notes, keys)... and also helped to develop voice dynamics (for when microphones were not available/affordable, etc). Patti is a one-of-a-kind artist, vocalist, and performer!
Patti is unbelievable! Fun fact: Patti Labelle is Mariah Carey's godmother and she was the one that announced and gave Mariah the award for Artist of the Millennium. Talent rewarding talent!
Literally the ONLY part of the song I wanted to see your reaction to, you cut. 👎 Impressive that you break down (or try to break down) anything that someone like Patti does. She doesn't think before she does, she's not trained or rehearsed to do something a certain way. There are literally no two Patti performances alike. U could show this video to Patti herself and she would have ZERO idea of what you're talking about.

Patti Labelle is probably one of the best live singers ever......during her prime, there were few, if any, people who wanted to go on stage with her.
She still is
@@Nicole-dt7ol No she is not. Her voice is not what it used to be.
She still sounds 10x better than half of the motherfuckas singing now @@uriyahbonafide4194

“Forever Young” is TOP 3 Auntie Patti for me!
I would respectfully interfere and say that her performance of that song would be chosen at her performance at Live Aid. She killed it.
Auntie Patti made this song her own💯❤
You couldn’t close your mouth. This is what Ms Patty does, babe. Yes, what a vocal experience for us all.
All that from the black church. Sanging. Thanks for being open.
Spot on, dude. Miss Patti is a straight out the church, all-natural talent. Found your technical analysis very interesting!
This performance is so so good
Miss Patti has said she has never had a vocal lesson, which I believe. That talent can't be taught.
I would argue that her upbringing in church was an education of incredible quality. I am not sure how Beulah Baptist Church was when she was growing up, but I imagine its not so far away from how excellent it is now.

I deeply and greatly appreciate your analysis my friend!!!! please continue
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you my lord someone finally gets it, Patti voice is phenomenal and yes its like being in a room with 4 walls and no windows while listening to instruments which are really her vocals ♥️
A lot of these performances have to be heard live in person to fully comprehend the greatest of singers.
You thought it was gonna end right there? Nah, Auntie Patti was just announcing she was about to burn that sh!t down. She is the queen of taking it home.
correct!
As a vocal coach, the one thing a lot of us don't admit is that some people are just natural born singers.....
''Patti has got it on lock!'' I love this kid.
Patti is also literally the only singer who I can think of who got better decade after decade. I'd say her vocals continued to improve into her 50s probably and didn't start vocal decline until her late 60s

She is still as strong as ever.
No she's not, so stop telling that lie.
She can still sing but not as strong or powerful like back then, she can still outsing singers nowadays
She plays her vocal tract as if it were an instrument. Incredible. Anyone that is familiar with her inherently knows how talented she is, but thank you for allowing me to appreciate her in a more technical context.

Rachelle Ferrell is probably the only person that can do a tribute to Patti beautifully. Rachelle needs her flowers too.
Rachelle is one of my favorite singers. Her musicianship is top tier.

Her influences are mostly jaz singers like Gloria Lynn, Diana Washington, Nancy Wilson, James Moody. She came up singing pop standards, then rock, then RnB.
I think her technique is mostly intuitive. She could have benefited from some training or more extensive training than she got.
