Not only did she kill this song she beat it to death with the strength and urgency of all her ancestors; from her grandmother back to the single celled organism. This song got a prehistoric ass whoppin'. You better go Patti!!! 👐
I love her and Aretha Franklin's version. I don't know if Aretha ever did a live version. I'm not gonna try to compare the two completely different styles
YES, GAWDT!!! SHE GOT IN HER ZONE.....AND DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THAT HAIR!!! I WATCHED IT WHEN IT AIRED ON TV AND I STILL COME BACK TO THIS PERFORMANCE!!!!
Fleet Wood Aretha could never deliver that song the way Patti did. As well as a few others songs that she made famous that Patti sampled or re-recorded. OTOH you NEVER saw Aretha share a stage with Patti unless the show was all about her or Patti was in the background bc she always tried to oversing everyone.
+Don Lou yes she was pissed and it is written all over her mug. She was smiling when Patti started thinking to herself, this bitch gone ruin this and i'm gone watch her tumble down them stairs. By the second verse Aretha's big ole decrepit ass KNEW she was slaying and her big ass couldn't take it.lmao go head on Patti.
I hate watching Aretha get a tribute, because she sits there the entire time when that same look on her face as to say "Yep...that's right...you hoes supposed to be singing for me." No emotions, gratitude or appreciation. If you don't believe me, just take a gander at previous shows that have done tributes for her, and the proof will be in the pudding.
Joel haise Zanga lol Whitney couldnt do this song anywhere near that key. Out of all the renditions by popular singers that I’ve seen, hers is the lowest in terms of the key of the song
@@nghiphan6231 Excuse me??? She had the original background singer the legendary Cissy singing background for her doing it!!! No one else was able to pull that off live not even Aretha
Aretha has no rivals, to put an ugly voice like Labelle's up with the greatest most beautiful voice in recording history is simply absurd and idiocy in the extreme.
Patti!!!!! U betta sang that damn song just like u was sangin that damn song.. MY GOD. Her vocal range & upper chest register is one that I just cannot fatham... #MamaPatti.
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.
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.
+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.
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.
Patti worked this song!!! This is the best version of this song since the original. Aretha always looks unimpressed in general, but the shots of her during this performance tells me she feels Patti on this one (it's in her eyes). Both are legends with different voices. Aretha has better recorded songs then Patti, but Patti can take practically anyone out live. Her versatility is crazy!!
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.
KeepingItReal66441 I won't jump to conclusions, but there are very few singers you can come up with that fit your criteria of "50 million unnecessary vocal runs and ad libs". That's probably what you were called out for.
Very few? That's almost every female singer that's come out since the late 90's. It was trending back then, not so much now. Harmonies are dominant now. Either way, it was a troll statement, not a call out...but that's just me.
You could tell that Aretha was very pleased with Patti's performance. No one on this earth could have sung that song as good as she does except for Patti. Much 💛 and Respect ✌.
Patti LaBelle was phenomenally outstanding with the rendition tribute to Aretha Franklin. LaBelle's powerhouse-soulful vocals brought the house down. Yes, Aretha looked a little jealous - but she should have been proud Patti sung her song with such emotion and conviction. It was an incredible performance by Patti LaBelle. Loved the gratitude shown by Tina Turner to Patti LaBelle.
Huck Mcgee this song was written by Carolyn Franklin (Aretha’s younger sister) for Aretha Franklin. Where did you hear that from???? And in 1967 Patti was still with the Bluebelles...
jackie bessard Even if Patti isn’t actually humble..... she is definitely more humble than Aretha’s stuck up ass. She (Aretha) hugged Patti is if she (Aretha) was a child being made to apologize for acting inappropriate. If Patti had acted on the same tacky level, she wouldn’t have even left the stage or acknowledged Aretha.
@@lisaaugustin5400 She ruined it with her ugly voice, how anybody could think that her voice is not ugly is beyond me. It is a whole bunch of coarse sharp ugly sounds, when Aint no way is a thing of beauty. She ruins most songs that she sings, it lacks authenticity, it is a theatrical music hall rehearsed performance, full of volume and power but no artistic merit and no beauty of sound in any way.
Only this song. There are many songs of Aretha that Patti would not sound right on. However, on a powerhouse song like this ,she is great. Aretha had too much diversity in her voice for one person to capture. You still have Gladys and Roberta and so many others that would do a great job with Aretha's songs, not just singing loud up and down the scales. Aretha took her gift in all genres, like NO other female has or . had.
@@jamesrender6701 I say the same thing about Aretha Franklin she can't sing any of Patti Labelle songs, I would love to see her try lol she did a Diana Ross song she did well with that.
@@patgorden5002, Aretha had too many hits, national and international, to even want to do any of Patti local hits, but she could if she wanted to. As you said she did Diana Ross' song, not sure what song you are referring to, but I'm sure it was international.Name 2 songs that Patti had that she could not sing. Even Patti has to bow to the queen. She said Aretha was the greatest singer ever.
@@jamesrender6701 that's irrelevant about National or International we talkin about a song and I already know who you are with certain words you say already know me you don't have run-ins in the past many times over! Patti LaBelle is a international Star rather you like it or not ! hate on... you wonder why are we could never touch any Patti Labelle songs?! Cause she CAN'T! LOL NEXT! Good try though
That made my day. Truly awesome to see 3 remarkable icons hugging each other with love and respect. Love those ladies for staying alive, healthy, and still singing. That's what i wanted for my favorite singer Whitney Houston. I vow to always say no to drugs.
Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but Aretha Franklin did not appear to be "hating, pissed", etc, etc,... It appears to me that Patti Labelle's rendition of "Ain't No Way", touched Aretha's heart. That is my interpretation of Aretha's reaction. From what I've seen her early interviews, Aretha Franklin was not an extremely talkative individual, or overly animated emotionally. She was direct, to the point, and classy. That is what I had seen, but again, maybe I'm reading it wrong. Rest In Paradise Ms. Aretha Franklin.😇😇😇
Litisha, I totally agree with you , I saw a look of approval not resentment or jealousy, Aretha even readly embraced her at the end of the song before Tina Turner embraced her. They are both talented ladies in their own right, and they are both great entertainers.
Exactly, people hate us quiet unemotional people. If we are not very talkative and or seem to be all out there, people hate us, and Aretha Franklin the Queen of soul who could sing anything was always misinterpret by people. They were so upset they really did not know her, or could get into her life. Aretha had more accolades than Patti, or Tina would ever have in a life time, why would she be insecure to them.
My girl Patti is soo beautiful. Yet, when she starts making those facial expressions while singing,.... You know she about to bring the house down! She makes you wanna jump up, and start shouting!! 😘
Patti: "she was actin like I was repeatin her order back to her through the drive-through and thats not even the worst of it...that hug gave me frost bite, ok" LoL
I don’t maybe it’s me but @3:00 The Queen of Soul had tears in her eyes. To have someone sang the hell out of your song like that is impressive and shocking at the same time. Plus Ms. Pattie recorded this song for one of her albums. Love this performance. Rest In Peace Ms. Aretha Franklin
@J M well said, folks always want to make everything a competition or battle, both of these ladies are blessed with outstanding talents, they each have their own unique styles, and they are both legions in their own right.
This Lady CAN NOT BE DENIED! Aretha COULD NOT EVER, stand toe to toe VOCALLY with Queen Mother of ROCKN SOUL Patti Labelle! Aretha carries that title like it means something, its a security blanket, she doesnt live up to it AT ALL!
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.
Ms.Patti killed this. Much respect to these two beautiful and talented jewels. They mean so much to the music community. Both with unmatched talent that we will may never witness again.
The fact that Aretha fans have to swoop down and defend her like knights in armor is proof of just how spectacularly well Patti sang this. No one, and I mean no one, could cause this much controversy besides Labelle. She hit it out of the ball park. Shame there seems to be some bad blood between these two ladies (and their fans), because I would give an arm and a leg to hear them do a duet.
Aretha looked like she was genuinely TOUCHED by Pattie blowing this song out the water. Also Aretha is a diva so I’m sure her EGO was a little frazzled nonetheless Aretha was pleased and respected Patti enough to stand up and give her a well deserved standing ovation!!!!! This tribute was EVERYTHING!
Patti Labelle took me on a journey with this rendition. You got to be super bad to tear down the house singing a song in front of the Queen of Soul. Brilliant!
Patti will take a hit song, break it down, and put it back together her way and sing it to you as if to say “this is how you should sing it and it should have been my song from the beginning.”
turnip30090 Aretha disliked Patti. Patti never really disliked Aretha, she just knew Aretha didn't like her and she kinda played on it with such performances to sweep Aretha off her feet
PATTI LABELLE IS A WAAAY BETTER SINGER THAN ARETHA HANDS DOWN# ARETHA IS THE QUEEN OF SOUL BECAUSE OF THE ERA AT THAT TIME AND IF YOU ARE YOUNG DONT KNOW ABOUT. However she had hit after hit because of the crossover of black music being played on the stations back then. THE TWO QUEENS HAVE THEIR OWN STYLE AND VOICE RANGE,,,,,BUT CLEARLY PATTI IS HIGH PITCHED BUT SHE KNOWS HOW TO EXPLODE AND WHEN TO PULL BACK....ITS NOT SCREAMING ITS HIGH VOCAL RANGE WHICH MANY SINGERS CAN NOT DO. IF YOU NOTICE "ARETHAS FACE AS PATTI SINGS LOOKS LIKE ONE OF JEALOUSY BEING UPSTAGED WITH HER OWN SONG.....PATTI DID THE SONG JUSTICE
No, she didn't. Aretha first hit the Hot 100 in 1961. Patti didn't do so (as a solo artist) until 1984! She did score with the Bluebells in 1963. Just the facts.
Brako Dawn That's right! Patti was singing at the time with her Bluebelles..The group only had two big hits..And labelle was singing but not really known..It wasn't until the mid 80s when patti labelle became a supper star! ..Wit Somebody loves you baby" If only you know!.,She became a house hole name all over the world! ..Vandtoss was a supper star before Labelle was, and she had already been singing for years! ..But Labelle is one of the most powerful vocalist in the world! ..
Aretha always knew Patti Labelle could have also been the Queen of Soul due to her Voice and soulful sound. Love this tribute too Aretha. Love Patti Labelle. R I.P. Queen Of Soul Aretha Franklin
Omg I was a teenager not too long ago when i discover this performance! How can you take somebody’s song and amplify it like this! I mean Patti SUNNNGG this song like it was her last! WOW!
Now this... is a TRIBUTE. Not a competition for who can do more runs and ad libs: the original singer, or the person covering the song. Patti took this song, and made it beautiful in her own way, respecting Aretha’s craft.
@@eumelaniniam3781 You need to have your medication reviewed as a matter of urgency if you think an ugly voice can ever be on the same sheet as Aretha Franklin, who all sensible folks know possessed the most beautiful voice in recording history.
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.
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.
Patti was doing what she's supposed to do. If you are going to sing a song, then sing in your own way. If you are going to it exactly like the original then why redo it? Patti did it Patti's way and she killed it.
If ever there should come a time when your singing career rises to such a level that you become world famous and adored by millions of fans over the many decades that span your career. And if, during said career, there should come a time when those in higher places of influence should decide to honor you, to give you your “roses” while can still appreciate them, consider yourself loved. However, in planning that occasion, when you are asked who you would like to invite to pay tribute to you by performing some of your more classic and memorable songs, do not ask Patti. That will never be your song again.
Y'all are reaching in these comments. Aretha always called on Pattie to sing this song. If she didn't like her they would have found someone else. Y'all just love negativity and drama
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
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.🙄
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
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! 👏👏👏
Two Legendary Divas....."Ain't No Way" QUEEN Aretha, did not like this amazing performance by Ms. Patti, she did her thang!!!......."Diva" Ms. Tina Turner was there too.
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!
She cant make it but aretha family said her name was number 1 on the list to perform she talks about it when she recently did a tribute to aretha at her concert

I love how she hugged tina turner. Patti so sweet, my god mother 💖
nobody but Patti could take a song of the Queen and make it her own
"NO-BODY".
She ruined it with her ugly voice.
PATTI DID NOT RUIN IT ! SHE SUNG IT A WHOLE LOT BETTER !!!!!
@@lisaaugustin5400 She ruined it with her ugly voice, how anybody could think that her voice is not ugly is beyond me. It is a whole bunch of coarse sharp ugly sounds, when Aint no way is a thing of beauty. She ruins most songs that she sings, it lacks authenticity, it is a theatrical music hall rehearsed performance, full of volume and power but no artistic merit and no beauty of sound in any way.
Mark Drinkwater then why are you here, this is patti’s voice, stop being a hater and stream her
Nodding her head as if I was repeating her order at the drive thru!
Ok hatretha
+horace morgan (horhay) LMFAOOOO
+Shelton Ross I hate you... lol.
+horace morgan (horhay) U mean Wreck-It -Retha, that hug gave her frost bite lol.
+Antonio Johnson lmao dead
Patti Better do ALLL the TRIBUTES! RIP Queen. She’s the only one who can do her songs justice ❤️😢
Only this song. There are many songs of Aretha that Patti would not sound right on. However, on a powerhouse song like this ,she is great. Aretha had too much diversity in her voice for one person to capture. You still have Gladys and Roberta and so many others that would do a great job with Aretha's songs, not just singing loud up and down the scales. Aretha took her gift in all genres, like NO other female has or . had.
@@jamesrender6701 agree to this.
@@jamesrender6701 I say the same thing about Aretha Franklin she can't sing any of Patti Labelle songs, I would love to see her try lol she did a Diana Ross song she did well with that.
@@patgorden5002, Aretha had too many hits, national and international, to even want to do any of Patti local hits, but she could if she wanted to. As you said she did Diana Ross' song, not sure what song you are referring to, but I'm sure it was international.Name 2 songs that Patti had that she could not sing. Even Patti has to bow to the queen. She said Aretha was the greatest singer ever.
@@jamesrender6701 that's irrelevant about National or International we talkin about a song and I already know who you are with certain words you say already know me you don't have run-ins in the past many times over! Patti LaBelle is a international Star rather you like it or not ! hate on... you wonder why are we could never touch any Patti Labelle songs?! Cause she CAN'T! LOL NEXT! Good try though
man you can't say Patti didn't do this song it was everything.
Such a rare sight to see Aretha, Tina, and Patti in the close quarters and enjoying each other I loved that part
Mind blowing!!!! Three Queens under a roof!
That made my day. Truly awesome to see 3 remarkable icons hugging each other with love and respect. Love those ladies for staying alive, healthy, and still singing. That's what i wanted for my favorite singer Whitney Houston. I vow to always say no to drugs.
Patti threw down...smacked it... picked it and bought it on home. WOW! Soul at its best.
RIP to the incomparable Aretha Franklin. A tribute worthy of her prowess.
Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but Aretha Franklin did not appear to be "hating, pissed", etc, etc,... It appears to me that Patti Labelle's rendition of "Ain't No Way", touched Aretha's heart. That is my interpretation of Aretha's reaction. From what I've seen her early interviews, Aretha Franklin was not an extremely talkative individual, or overly animated emotionally. She was direct, to the point, and classy. That is what I had seen, but again, maybe I'm reading it wrong. Rest In Paradise Ms. Aretha Franklin.😇😇😇
Litisha, I totally agree with you , I saw a look of approval not resentment or jealousy, Aretha even readly embraced her at the end of the song before Tina Turner embraced her. They are both talented ladies in their own right, and they are both great entertainers.
latesha lewisreaddon Right!! Why would she look pissed or Whatever.. Hell honey Aretha could Sang her ass off
Exactly, people hate us quiet unemotional people. If we are not very talkative and or seem to be all out there, people hate us, and Aretha Franklin the Queen of soul who could sing anything was always misinterpret by people. They were so upset they really did not know her, or could get into her life. Aretha had more accolades than Patti, or Tina would ever have in a life time, why would she be insecure to them.
My girl Patti is soo beautiful. Yet, when she starts making those facial expressions while singing,.... You know she about to bring the house down! She makes you wanna jump up, and start shouting!! 😘
Patti killied this song... Well done Patti
legend pays tribute to another legend!
Patti: "she was actin like I was repeatin her order back to her through the drive-through and thats not even the worst of it...that hug gave me frost bite, ok" LoL
Patti..... Sang that song with meaning and a message❣️ Aretha didn't look like she like the way it was being delivered 🤔 Tina Turner sure did 😍💕
You caught that too? Lol! I sure did!
Patti sang the hell out of that song
Pattie killed this 🔥🔥🔥‼️‼️just to see Aretha Franklin Tina turner and Patti LaBelle all together is crazy black excellence black beauty
I don’t maybe it’s me but @3:00 The Queen of Soul had tears in her eyes. To have someone sang the hell out of your song like that is impressive and shocking at the same time. Plus Ms. Pattie recorded this song for one of her albums. Love this performance. Rest In Peace Ms. Aretha Franklin
You saw what I saw. Appreciation. The eyes showed adoration. Not "shade"
Exactly, she knew she would bring it & make it her own as well.
You're right, it looked as though she was doing her best to not cry. I can't say the same for me though.
@J M well said, folks always want to make everything a competition or battle, both of these ladies are blessed with outstanding talents, they each have their own unique styles, and they are both legions in their own right.
Hated Pattis recorded versiuon, the live rendition was best of all. Retha sang it live and I fell asleep.
Patti just shitted on Aretha with her own damn song. Yes.... Patti
Yes she did... love me some Ms.Patti
😂
Yasssss those vocals!! I could listen to her sing all day
This Lady CAN NOT BE DENIED! Aretha COULD NOT EVER, stand toe to toe VOCALLY with Queen Mother of ROCKN SOUL Patti Labelle! Aretha carries that title like it means something, its a security blanket, she doesnt live up to it AT ALL!
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.
LOL
aretha actually is actually just as good but, she's a fat ass hating evil ugly bitch
johnathandoe u're just a hater like aretha.
INDIA SIMMS Say what u want, Aretha is a god among mortals. Her and Stevie Wonder are the originals.
Excellent tribute by legendary Ms. Patti Labelle! Classic song! RIP iconic Queen of Soul Ms. Aretha Franklin.
Ms.Patti killed this. Much respect to these two beautiful and talented jewels. They mean so much to the music community. Both with unmatched talent that we will may never witness again.
The fact that Aretha fans have to swoop down and defend her like knights in armor is proof of just how spectacularly well Patti sang this. No one, and I mean no one, could cause this much controversy besides Labelle. She hit it out of the ball park. Shame there seems to be some bad blood between these two ladies (and their fans), because I would give an arm and a leg to hear them do a duet.
Make sure you do your homework first before you make that decision 😅
Patti just hits the note here, and it is sweet to see the diva in the audience give a smile for this performance.
Ok those backup did that shit and so did Patti. one of my favorite performances ever
I love how Patti went back to embrace Tina like "Hey Girl!" *muah*
That moment when someone else BORROW your song butcher it, then give it back. #nooneslayslikepatti🤣🤣🤣
Dam! even Aretha's hug for Patti at the end was lack luster...I guess it ain't no way she's feeling Patti. Lol
Daniel Robinson she will be all right
Aretha looked like she was genuinely TOUCHED by Pattie blowing this song out the water. Also Aretha is a diva so I’m sure her EGO was a little frazzled nonetheless Aretha was pleased and respected Patti enough to stand up and give her a well deserved standing ovation!!!!! This tribute was EVERYTHING!
I don’t think it was the diva in Aretha that caused that reaction.
I think Aretha had NEVER heard anyone do one of her songs in that fashion!
Patti Labelle took me on a journey with this rendition. You got to be super bad to tear down the house singing a song in front of the Queen of Soul. Brilliant!
Patti will take a hit song, break it down, and put it back together her way and sing it to you as if to say “this is how you should sing it and it should have been my song from the beginning.”
Aww, Patti Hugged Tina Afterwards.
*~ Rookie ☆.*
xPerfection Paradox then looked at Aretha like yeah that's how it's done lol
What makes this so much better is that they’ve always hated each other and this is the ultimate shade.
turnip30090 sho ya right!!!
not true
turnip30090
Aretha disliked Patti. Patti never really disliked Aretha, she just knew Aretha didn't like her and she kinda played on it with such performances to sweep Aretha off her feet
Aretha never disliked Patti,
Aretha always hated Patti. Receipts th-cam.com/video/m-mtlGyS4r0/w-d-xo.html
PATTI LABELLE IS A WAAAY BETTER SINGER THAN ARETHA HANDS DOWN# ARETHA IS THE QUEEN OF SOUL BECAUSE OF THE ERA AT THAT TIME AND IF YOU ARE YOUNG DONT KNOW ABOUT. However she had hit after hit because of the crossover of black music being played on the stations back then. THE TWO QUEENS HAVE THEIR OWN STYLE AND VOICE RANGE,,,,,BUT CLEARLY PATTI IS HIGH PITCHED BUT SHE KNOWS HOW TO EXPLODE AND WHEN TO PULL BACK....ITS NOT SCREAMING ITS HIGH VOCAL RANGE WHICH MANY SINGERS CAN NOT DO. IF YOU NOTICE "ARETHAS FACE AS PATTI SINGS LOOKS LIKE ONE OF JEALOUSY BEING UPSTAGED WITH HER OWN SONG.....PATTI DID THE SONG JUSTICE
Lady Jae Patti had hits before Aretha.
No, she didn't. Aretha first hit the Hot 100 in 1961. Patti didn't do so (as a solo artist) until 1984! She did score with the Bluebells in 1963. Just the facts.
Brako Dawn That's right! Patti was singing at the time with her Bluebelles..The group only had two big hits..And labelle was singing but not really known..It wasn't until the mid 80s when patti labelle became a supper star! ..Wit Somebody loves you baby" If only you know!.,She became a house hole name all over the world! ..Vandtoss was a supper star before Labelle was, and she had already been singing for years! ..But Labelle is one of the most powerful vocalist in the world! ..
Brako Dawn No...And Labelle didn't go solo in 1984...It was the late 70s...
Not really. I say this with all due respect to Patti's undeniable gift. Suggest you go back and really listen to Aretha. RIP QUEEN
Aretha always knew Patti Labelle could have also been the Queen of Soul due to her Voice and soulful sound. Love this tribute too Aretha. Love Patti Labelle. R I.P. Queen Of Soul Aretha Franklin
Oh my Ms Patti you sang that song, beautiful
Patti stops time ! Beautiful!
Omg I was a teenager not too long ago when i discover this performance! How can you take somebody’s song and amplify it like this! I mean Patti SUNNNGG this song like it was her last! WOW!
Now this... is a TRIBUTE. Not a competition for who can do more runs and ad libs: the original singer, or the person covering the song. Patti took this song, and made it beautiful in her own way, respecting Aretha’s craft.
If Arthea is QUEEN OF SOUL...Than Patti is QUEEN OF DIVAS!!
The Diva trumps The Queen....It's in the handbook.
@@eumelaniniam3781 You need to have your medication reviewed as a matter of urgency if you think an ugly voice can ever be on the same sheet as Aretha Franklin, who all sensible folks know possessed the most beautiful voice in recording history.
I say Aretha is the Queen of Divas
Best version hands down.
Ok 2019 and Patti still leading!!!
Best renditions for "Ain't no way"

Wuuuuuuuuuut???? I never knew Jean Carn sang this sing, ima have to listen to that.
RIP Aretha!!!!
Background vocals on fire🔥
Gotta love Ms. Patti she snatched all edges and wigs this night....love me some Ms. Patti cause she’s the best
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.
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.
+Dolly Mat Maybe she was thingking about this performance when she shaded her at the white house year before last. LOL
Watch Got 2b real and youll know why
Dolly Mat she did she tear up quite a few times
*LORD!* Patti almost snatched her _own wig off_ at 3:17 when she dipped down for that note!
Patti was doing what she's supposed to do. If you are going to sing a song, then sing in your own way. If you are going to it exactly like the original then why redo it? Patti did it Patti's way and she killed it.
If ever there should come a time when your singing career rises to such a level that you become world famous and adored by millions of fans over the many decades that span your career. And if, during said career, there should come a time when those in higher places of influence should decide to honor you, to give you your “roses” while can still appreciate them, consider yourself loved. However, in planning that occasion, when you are asked who you would like to invite to pay tribute to you by performing some of your more classic and memorable songs, do not ask Patti. That will never be your song again.
This my baby here... I love you miss Patti😘
The way the audience jumped on their feet says who sings this song the best. Patti all day 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Facts
How could you not buy a pie from this woman?,
Y'all are reaching in these comments. Aretha always called on Pattie to sing this song. If she didn't like her they would have found someone else. Y'all just love negativity and drama
The Best TRIBUTE hands down!!
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
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.🙄
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
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! 👏👏👏
Two Legendary Divas....."Ain't No Way" QUEEN Aretha, did not like this amazing
performance by Ms. Patti, she did her thang!!!......."Diva" Ms. Tina Turner was there too.
Patti sung this tune from the top to the bottom. She sounds wonderful.
"Where are my backup singers!"... Patti is a hilarious person in her own way hahaaa... i love you patti... keep on entertaining us 😍
Lol "HateRetha sat there like she was having her order taken at a drive thru" and the hug at the end was straight SHADE!
She is so extra! I love it!! ❤️😍
ONLY AUNTIE PATTI CAN GIVE IT JUSTICE!!!!
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!
Master Artistry in storytelling! She told the story with every powerful emotion the lyrics demanded. #StellarPerformance
She should pay tribute to her again, at the funeral. 😭💔
I don't that is going to happen. The family may invite Fantasia.
She cant make it but aretha family said her name was number 1 on the list to perform she talks about it when she recently did a tribute to aretha at her concert
It would have been awesome if Patti could have performed. I am glad that Fantasia will be there.
Welp looks like she is ..shes the first person Aretha chose to sing on her list!
That look on Ms.Patti’s face @3:27 was like yeah I’m the shiiiiii and she is
wow. she leaves me speechless. wish we had more singers around like her today. Along with Aretha and all the greats.
