People tend to argue over the most stupid things. Patti Labelle is not a spanish singing singer and Celia was not an english singing singer. However, if you read Celia Cruz' autobiography and its generally known that they were good friends. Patti wasnt trying to sell a spanish album or win a latin grammy she was there to celebrate and pay honor to a friend.
I couldn't have said it any better my friend. Why in god's name people get in an uproar over black vs latino vice versa etc...is beyond me. It's PEOPLE having a great time honoring other people PERIOD...!!!
@RickRamon • BOTH BLACK WOMEN. SAME RACE DIFFERENT CULTURES, BUT LOOK AT THEIR FACES AND THEIR BUILDS, THEY LOOK LIKE BLOOD SISTER'S. THEY HAD THE SAME FEATURES.
Anytime you get Patti LaBelle AND Celia Cruz in a room how can you not just lighten up in your spirit and want to DANCE ? Love that those two were friends...!
OMG! If i was in that audience i would've died of laughter. hahaha. Patti was amazing but good lord the woman is crazy. She got all that energy when she performs. LOVES IT! haha
Wow! Gotta LOVE Patti for the respect she shows here, knowing she is out of her "element" here, She still went out there and owned it...Loved this sooo much!
Patty es una de las mujeres que mas quizo a Celia, no es cantante de salsa, pero lo hizo muy bien en su estilo, el ver como Celia la aplaudio y la fuerza que colocó a la presentacion fueron excelentes... Viva la Reina Celiaa
Ya'll seriously are going to argue over race, when they easily could pass for sisters (I always thought they looked like relatives lol). Obviously both women are black from different countries/cultures. Patti's ancestors went from Africa to America, Celia's went from Africa to Cuba. Live wit it!
took my breath away, how much Ms LaBelle LOOKED LIKE Celia...it was scary. Wouldn't surprise me at all, if they were a lot alike, honestly...but yea, you can feel the love.
@reainadiva: totally agree with you girl! im hispanic and its awsome to hear you say this! this world would be so much better and different if all people thought like you! props to your comment! and for those who say Patti was flopping around like a chicken, please! she enjoyed herself, she did great, i honestly loved the performance and to be honest...im not a fan or hers and not in a bad way! i just havent heard her music! but after this im so looking up her videos!!
Indeed Latin Music is not her thing! I thought it was horrible, but she tried her best. I think Celia Cruz was honoured, but I also think they had a big laughter afterwards :-))
@vmm027 ES MAS, SALSA ES MUSICA AFRO-CUBANA....Y ELLOS PONEN EL "AFRO" EN FRENTE PARA QUE TU LO SEPAS, PORQUE EL RITMO DE LA MUSICA VIENE DE AAAAAAAAAFRRRRICAAA
AND THEY ARE BOTH BLACK WOMEN. MATTER OF FACT ,THEY LOOK LIKE BLOOD SISTER'S. THEY WERE THE SAME COMPLEXION, SAME NOSE , SAME FEATURES, THEY WERE BUILT THE SAME, CURVY AND STACKED. THEY LOOKED LIKE SISTER'S. LIKE THEY CAME FROM THE SAME MOTHER AND FATHER.
why did you reply to me?..anywho get your neices and nephews speaking! My aunt is from PR and was denied learning spanish, years later she felt her culture was robbed of her
And not everyone that speaks spanish is from a different country, areas of the US have been spanish speaking long before they were english. Just because you're close minded doesn't mean people have to leave this country cause you don't like their culture. Do you want every ethnic group to leave because their first language isn't english? SERIOUSLY, I encourage you to pick up a history book and read about this countries history...
stacynewyork...latino culture is just as much apart of US culture just like everything else... and "flocking"? Irish and Italians "flocked' here too, are you against them too?
I know Patty is honoring Celia but I can honestly say that I never really liked her covers of Celia Cruzs music. Also I really don't think Quimbara translates well into English. I just think Patty's covers of Celias music is'nt a very good move for her.
I like that Ms. Labelle did this. It is obviously not her thing but she is a performer and a friend who isn't afraid to step outside her box. Go Girl.....
They're practically fraternal twins. They've always been like a culturally different version of the same person 2me. When I enjoyed Celia in the Latin community, it was never difficult to see "Patti" And when I enjoyed Patti in the African American community, it was never difficult to see "Celia." As talented as each are, they definitely should avoid covering one another's songs, lol But each are immensely talented in her own right, and I have insurmountable love 4both. RIP Celia
Patti LaBelle y Celia Cruz tienen la misma historia, peor en personas y lugares distintos del mundo, sus voces son grandiosas, su calidad en el escenario es impresionante, vivan Patti LaBelle y Celia Cruz!!! las mejores de todos los tiempos
Me gusto la presentacion de Patti Labell su voce fuerte me gusta la voce de ella y la forma que le canto a la Reina lo hiso muy bien a su estilo excelente me gusto
i believe africa influenced all latin america except mexico! honduran food is african influenced and so is our music dat is why we have good movements we are mix of black and native mayas
Patti Looks exceptionally beautiful here but vocally out of flow w the rhythm. The singing patterns are just different. Less is more for Latin Rhythms.
lo que mas me impresiona de Patti Labelle es la voz tan hermosa que tiene cuando la desgarra al cantar jamas había escuchado una voz así potente Patti y Celia siempre fueron buenas amigas de toda una vida me gusta como canta Patti .... desde Colombia besos y abraso para esa morena tan linda como lo es patti Labelle .. toda una diva cantándole a la reina ..... Colombia las adora a las dos
what impresses me most is the voice Patti Labelle so beautiful that when the tears have never heard singing a voice so powerful Patti and Celia were always good friends of a lifetime I like Patti sings .... kiss and hug from Colombia for that brown is as pretty as Patti Labelle .. whole diva singing the Queen ..... Colombia loves both the
Twanbiz2...u know you are crazy...I laughed for hours off your comment....LMAO, Celia and Patti are so much alike when they perform, the days of live performances full of energy and personality are long gone.
Was she singing some of the song in english? lol Quimbara,Quimbara,Quimbara,Quimbara wooo!! lol I wondered what some people in the audience thought of Patti's performance lol Love you Patti lol.
actually, Puerto Rico is apart of the US, and their US citizens..Tejanos are spanish speaking people native to Texas and California was apart of the spanish empire. Colonies became territorial claims by Spain. And you're also forgeting the Swedes and dutch who also were in control of land in N. America, listen, i'm done arguing. Your inability to spell words correctly and talk without spewing profanities would say that you aren't worth my time.
no you're ignorant because your failing to see the truth, most of our country was apart of the spanish colonies,and actually, there is no official language, english is a "de facto" language, with spanish being the next most spoken language. Theres many other languages besides english spoken here, french,spanish,mandarin. Accept that Spanish is a language of the US!!
well thats because they had to, Spanish was and still is a primary language in the western hemisphere. Italian IS NOT, The Irish already spoke english from being within the british empire. AND not to mention, most of our country historically and physically is apart of the spanish speaking world (Florida, Texas,N mexico, CALIFORNIA???!!)
hello celia was there so why would she roll in her grave? granted this was not the most tear jerking patti perfomance. well it did bring a tear because i laughed so hard. celia enjoyed it that is all that counts. AZUCAR!!!!!!!!!!!
She was sooo excited that's all. She was going off just listen to her. Celia loved it I'm sure she smiled and so did her husband Pedro. That's all that mattered. Maybe Patti had too much Azucar before the show. Who know's it was cool though.
@hubiethsaint: These people don't realise that because PATTI LABELLE is such AN AMAZING PERFORMER & VOCALIST, she doesn't have to kw a song verbatim to TEAR THE HOUSE DOWN! PATTI LABELLE IS THE GREATEST DIVA EVER LIVE;SHE DOESN'T NEED A BUNCH OF GRAMMY'S & DANCERS FOR THE WORLD TO ENJOY HER GOD GIVEN VOICE!
That made me cry. Patti is amazing and Celia is a legend. It must have been wonderful for her to have all these really amazing people pay tribute to her right before her death, RIP Celia! I love you.
@faznout -Why can't you just see that one musician was honoring another musician!!! Ms. Labelle was not trying to be like anyone but herself--It was one diva to another!! They are both amazing performers!!
@vmm027 Puerto rican and cuban is not a race hahahaha, WOW, are you like 10 years old, or have you never been to a school ever in your life? Puerto Rican and Cuban are NATIONALITIES. just like AMERICAN, ect.... for instance, you can be American, and be black, white, asian, whatever! same as puerto rican and cuban, you can be puerto rican and be black, white, mixed or asian, same as cubans. Puerto Rico used to be an island that only had indians, then spanish (whites) came, and brought
My dear I never said that the UK were the first to come I said that the english language belongs to the English We're known as the Americans... and the English are England... but at least you saw my point. English came from the English (UK) North America (Named after Amerigo Vespucci) spoke different native american languages... if it weren't for the UK we'd be speaking them. and I know the first people that traveled to these parts. well I get mixed up. Either it was the Vikings or the Asian...
People tend to argue over the most stupid things. Patti Labelle is not a spanish singing singer and Celia was not an english singing singer. However, if you read Celia Cruz' autobiography and its generally known that they were good friends. Patti wasnt trying to sell a spanish album or win a latin grammy she was there to celebrate and pay honor to a friend.
RickRamon thank you two queens from two different walks of life with sooo many similarities who celebrated, loved and respected each other.
They were BFF not rivals
I couldn't have said it any better my friend. Why in god's name people get in an uproar over black vs latino vice versa etc...is beyond me. It's PEOPLE having a great time honoring other people PERIOD...!!!
@RickRamon • BOTH BLACK WOMEN. SAME RACE DIFFERENT CULTURES, BUT LOOK AT THEIR FACES AND THEIR BUILDS, THEY LOOK LIKE BLOOD SISTER'S. THEY HAD THE SAME FEATURES.
Facts. Love is like friendship it is universal and blind to language barriers❤
Anytime you get Patti LaBelle AND Celia Cruz in a room how can you not just lighten up in your spirit and want to DANCE ? Love that those two were friends...!
OMG! If i was in that audience i would've died of laughter. hahaha. Patti was amazing but good lord the woman is crazy. She got all that energy when she performs. LOVES IT! haha
If patty spoke spanish fluently she would be awesome in making the Celia Cruz life movie with Whoopi Goldberg as the director
ourheartslovetoo the really true and the best idea about her life.
Estoy de acuerdo
Omg YEASSS
@ourheartslovetoo 1628 • THEY LOOK LIKE THEY WERE RELATED, LIKE BLOOD SISTER'S. SAME COMPLEXION, NOSE,LIPS, AND THEY WERE BOTH STACKED, CURVY.
AND PATTIE SANG AT HER FUNERAL. SHE SANG (AVE MARIA).
that big voice of Patti labelle so beautiful I like kisses from Colombia
Wow! Gotta LOVE Patti for the respect she shows here, knowing she is out of her "element" here, She still went out there and owned it...Loved this sooo much!
Patty es una de las mujeres que mas quizo a Celia, no es cantante de salsa, pero lo hizo muy bien en su estilo, el ver como Celia la aplaudio y la fuerza que colocó a la presentacion fueron excelentes... Viva la Reina Celiaa
Patti is so wonderful. She gives honor to ALL. She loves these ladies
OMG!!! Patti was doing her thang !!!! Love It
Patti is a one of a kind. She's just being herself and loving it.

Ya'll seriously are going to argue over race, when they easily could pass for sisters (I always thought they looked like relatives lol). Obviously both women are black from different countries/cultures. Patti's ancestors went from Africa to America, Celia's went from Africa to Cuba. Live wit it!
Celia was afro Latina face the facts

AHH...OK PATTI NOT FOR YOU GIRL. THERE'S THAT OLD SAYING THAT GOES, JUST STICK WITH WHAT YA KNOW.

You are a very rude commentor
I like that song, but this is aweful, it doesn't work with her screamin up there
I like that Ms. Labelle did this. It is obviously not her thing but she is a performer and a friend who isn't afraid to step outside her box. Go Girl.....
They're practically fraternal twins.
They've always been like a culturally different version of the same person 2me.
When I enjoyed Celia in the Latin community, it was never difficult to see "Patti"
And when I enjoyed Patti in the African American community, it was never difficult to see "Celia."
As talented as each are, they definitely should avoid covering one another's songs, lol
But each are immensely talented in her own right, and I have insurmountable love 4both.
RIP Celia
that is not yelling it is called power she has been blessed with a powerful instrument from God!
Patti LaBelle y Celia Cruz tienen la misma historia, peor en personas y lugares distintos del mundo, sus voces son grandiosas, su calidad en el escenario es impresionante, vivan Patti LaBelle y Celia Cruz!!!

Me encanto esa voz de Patty

CeS@R::
My dear
I never said that the UK were the first to come
I said that the english language belongs to the English
We're known as the Americans...
and the English are England...
but at least you saw my point.
English came from the English (UK)
North America (Named after Amerigo Vespucci) spoke different native american languages...
if it weren't for the UK we'd be speaking them.
and I know the first people that traveled to these parts. well I get mixed up.
Either it was the Vikings or the Asian...
@vmm027 In fact, the words MAMBO, RUMBA, ECT. SON PALABRAS AFRICANAS DE LA LENGUA MANDING O THE mandinga tribe
