No, she oversang it. Look, Miss Patti has a very powerful voice, nobody can deny that, but a song like It's My Turn needs subtlety of delivery to bring out the poignancy in the lyric and the meaning. Sadly, Patti didn't deliver on this number.
I agree,,,,both women have such distinctive styles that are miles apart and I could barely recognize Diana's songs with Patti singing. Both women have been singing since the 1960's and are icons of music history. Diana's voice is soft and pure and Patti is in your face! I love them both, and addressing your comment.....Diana wears her emotions on her sleeve and when she heard "cal me" her smile was so heartfelt.
So many comments about Miss Patti...but not enough about her Class her great humor, her humility, her energy, her Great Intelligence...i love everything about her ❤
For those of you who have not seen this tribute in it's entirety, Diana hugs Patti with a genuine and sincere embrace, and she joyfully thanks her for the musical tribute in her speech. They have since mended their feud and pay each other mutual respect for their talent and contributions to music. Patti calls Diana one of the best who's ever done it.
At that time, they weren't having the feud. That happened sometime later. But Oprah had them sit together and they found it was others pitting them against each other.
I remember Diana on The Oprah Show when she was asked to sing while sitting on the couch " It's my Turn" in acapella. When she got to the part "cause the rain aint gonna hurt me", she choked up and couldn't continue. Her tears began to flow and that's when a realised that those words certainly meant something very special, personal and heartbreaking to her.
Patti has an insane vocal ability. You can't help but marvel at her power and range. That said, her version of My Turn robs the song of every ounce of vulnerability. In Diana's hands, the song feels like it is being sung by someone who has never had the courage to step out on their own, but is determined to do so, and wants others to understand her need to step out. It's as if she doesn't want to hurt the person she is leaving because she still loves them, but she has to go and she wants to explain why. In Patti's version, this woman is defiant. She seems to not care at all what the person she is leaving thinks. She's had enough of having her life controlled. It's as if she has had the power all along and just got tired of not exercising it. With Diana, you get the sense that she is just discovering her strength and is taking a risk. Both versions have merit. I'm not choosing one as better than the other, just saying that Patti interprets the lyrics from a different perspective. As forceful behind the scenes as Diana is reported to be, her belief in herself seemed to evolve from the 60s to the late 70s until she finally felt comfortable leaving the protection of Motown. So, her version feels reflective of her life experience. With Patti, I get the sense she was always confident in her abilities. She never had to learn to be believe in herself. So, her rendition is basically about blowing past external obstacle more than internal ones. This is why we need all types of artists. Even when Diana sings songs of strength (Ain't No Mountain, I Ain't Been Licked), there's a hard fought sense of power she is had to develop. That's something I can connect to, as I suspect many people can. For those who are more naturally empowered, we need versions like Patti's.
Well said bro, it’s so refreshing to hear sensible authentic music lovers like yourself give an in-depth & fair analysis of two icons singing the same song w/o trying to put one against the other. I share your sentiment You rock, man 👊🏿👊🏿
I'm sorry that you believe people expressing honest opinions and preferences for a singers work is an attack on them---it is not. People have the right to express their views without being made into villains by you. Its not that deep. Singing is emotion, communication, style & tone count for a lot. Its not just about holding long notes, and being loud. Patti is a brilliant singer as is Diana. Patti shines on You are My Friend etc something nobody else could do justice. But this isn't her style. I note. Aretha as a great choice to tribute because ,she was very versatile & could sing anything & that is why she too was great to me.
Patti smashed this tribute through the roof! I love her thoughtful choice of songs and the fact that she made it all her own! A real tribute is another massive talent covering your songs the way they do it! I could have listened to 15 minutes of this!
This was an Amazing Tribute from Patti Labelle. Diana truly did Appreciate this honor. Her smile said it all. She knew Patti was going to deliver as she always do.
patti can sing the phone book. it doesn t matter who the prior artist is she can nail her own version of it. I d love her to let rip with a heavy rock number just to prove my point.
Patti did her job. Her notes were in key and even though she was obviously hoarse, she was able to get a message across through the music and the audience enjoyed it.
I remember in 95 when this aired and I didnt know Patti Labelle as much then because I was only 11 years old. But I remember this performance. Here I am 37 and still watch this performance. Thats how rememberable it is and how amazing is. I sing to the top of my lungs. I love Patti Labelle and Diana Ross. Peep Traci Ellis Ross in the background at the end as a teenager. :)
Diana, Aretha, Michael, Shirley, Gladys, Barry, Smokey, Teddy, Cher, Natalie, Dolly, Celine, Mariah, Dionne, Prince, Anita, Celia, Reba. These are a fraction of the people Patti has done a tribute for. A fraction. Patti has done more tributes to other celebrities than anyone else in History. She has nothing to prove.
Wow....when Patti sings that soft note that just floats on top of all the other voices and instruments....it gives me chills. Awesome is an understatement.
Patti blew it out of the park. I live with one of the biggest Diana Ross fans alive and she cries when we watch this, you can't compare the two its like apples and oranges. Patti sings from her soul and you leave her concert with your soul filled.
She simply killed it patti and Diana are good friends let the past go patti is one of the greatest singers of this lifetime still doing her thing at almost 80 years old and sounds like that she truly blessed w ith the gift from God and the Heavens
I have to believe that Diana was just paid the highest compliment of them all....Patti....singing some of Diana's hits! Patti has the most powerful voice and soul. That is the Spirit that evoked tears of joy falling from another angels eyes!
Miss Diana Ross had to cry over Miss Patti Labelle voice in her tribute. That voice is so powerful and full of emotion and octives just beautiful and she sung it her way without taking away from Diana at all. Which Diana Ross is a diva within her self and a great role model to her children and grandchildren at 75. Just something about Patti Labelle voice.
I love patti so much she has this unique and beautiful voice that makes my knees weak my heart skip a beat my daydreams feel so real love love that women's voice👏😭😊😭💋😘
Brian Morris : both of these women are Sister FIRE SIGNS with beautiful voices and yes Mz. Patti has a, tendency to YELL at times, and from what seen in this video Mz. Ross enjoyed Mz Labells tribute to her as seen by her tears so let's, not add to what's not there.. But enjoy these two BEAUTIFUL SOULS on loan from THE MOST HIGH 👑🔥😉🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶
It has been great to see other performers and industry figures honoring Diana Ross in recent years, acknowledging the tremendous achievements she has registered, talking of the doors she opened for others, and the style and class she has shown throughout her entire career. Some who once diminished her talents and accomplishments have reached a point beyond which envy or rivalry affected them and now can just honor the woman for her life, her art, her integrity and her generosity. All the honors are well-deserved, and there should be more to come, because at 77, she is about to drop a sensational new album!
Just look at Diana's tears. She's not in denial. She's appreciative.
I think the tears as false. She's wiping away mascara in her eye not tears.
Live Life shut up
She's pretentious
@@santiadame6781 lmao,,, yasss, we love diana and patti
@@Dion_Mustard she and patti are friends for a very long time.....it's not fake....
Patti SANG the hell out of it's my turn. Lord have mercy! She understood the assignment. Diana was blown away.
She sing the hell out of everything.
So did barry Gordy lol
No, she oversang it. Look, Miss Patti has a very powerful voice, nobody can deny that, but a song like It's My Turn needs subtlety of delivery to bring out the poignancy in the lyric and the meaning. Sadly, Patti didn't deliver on this number.
@pullformore maybe they should have asked you to "Under-sing" the song instead.
Diana's smile after Patti said "call me" is so heartwarming.

Yet, Diana didn't get up & applaud Patti......Lol
it's false!!
@@yeye3295 Wrong!
Patti Labelle's voice is simply stunning!
And she will just take Your Song and just sang it!!!!!
So many comments about Miss Patti...but not enough about her Class her great humor, her humility, her energy, her Great Intelligence...i love everything about her ❤
Chewing through the fifth octave while casually walking down the steps. Lawd!
Xavier Smith she tore that octave to dust...lawd!!
Yaassssss
Xavier Smith exactly 😂
I was hoping we all peeped that
Patty is perfection, pretty, and powerful
Ms Patti is so humble. She didn't hold a grudge for Diana ross after snatched Cindy Birdsong from the Labelles. 👏
She didn't snatch her, she chose to go.
Diana, didn't snatch Cindy. Johnx
Patti had whipped her butt so it was no need to hold a grudge
Lol. Cindy simply wanted to go somewhere where she would be successful… unlike her time with Labelle!
Patti Labelle is a nice person， she's so humble
unlike a miss cross boss, I like to call her the Joan Carford of motown
@@davidvack4382 Who is Joan Carford? You are a fucking dimwit. You haven't got a clue what you're on about!
Indeed and infact!
I think they mean Joan Crawford. A famous but notoriously difficult American movie actress known for her feud with Betty Davis.
Patti is way nicer. No comment on Ms Ross.
She didn't have to stand up the feeling was all over her face the tears to legends❤
She wanted to anyway she was just waiting to be announced.
Two LEGENDS!!!!!
Diana stood up and give Patti a hug, that part is edited out.
Patti can sanggggggg there are many legends but this one is incomparable

Diana seems pleased. What an honor to be chosen to pay tribute to an icon.
She may have but was actually moved. And,..she choose her to sing for her at this event.
Your so cute , why don’t you talk to me ?
Patti has done tributes for so many.
Yes she has. That's because they choose her. I'd choose her, too!
Yass and they they are the most treasured and amazing tributes in music history. Hope they'll give her what she deserves 👑
Cory Ballad She should be in charge of all tributes. 🎤😓 #TributeMaster
Yes Beyonce needs to take note!

Those last 2 notes.....heaven rained down on her vocal chords.... yaaaas Patti.
Ajay Cbaby patti is a inspiration to me and many
Ajay Cbaby That's what actually gave me chills, was that part at the very end note. 🎤😓 #ItsMyTurn
Patti Labelle never failed to take away my soul from my physical body whenever she blew her unearthly nuclear voice
2:48 Patti "cause the rain aint gonna hurt me"
Diana crying "no!"
What a moment!
I remember Diana on The Oprah Show when she was asked to sing while sitting on the couch " It's my Turn" in acapella.

Patti Labelle is absolutely magnificent.
Whatever your thoughts on either ladies they are both legends and both deserve our respect as both have insurmountable musical legacies. Period.
Well said, I am great-full to enjoy the musical legacy of all these Divas, they're all unique and that's what makes them so special.
Agreed Both Are Legends ~ Period 🙌🏽

Patti honoured Diana performing this tribute to her. I love both ladies, no need to get into who is better, they are both tops in what they do!
Patti's voice is so powerful and beautifully delivered, definitely one of the greatest voices of all time!!!
Patti labelled one of the greatest female vocalist ever.

Please stop attacking Patti and Diana. No matter who you prefer, when you attack, you are dishonoring both women.
