Yes, indeed. Whitney had true class. She bore The Voice that only God could have given and yet, she was aware that all of us are one so no one is better than the other. I miss her everyday.
Whitney was just a good lady at heart. It’s the small gestures that show us who a celebrity really is. Patti was doing a duet with Dolly Parton one time and Dolly’s dress had a malfunction while they were singing and Patti while singing tried to fix it for her. I think moments like that are small but powerful and very telling.
Beautiful tribute to Patti but I can't help but to feel sad...I really miss Whitney! It seemed like singing gave her so much joy! I can't imagine what it must've been like for her not being able to fully use her gift in the end
not to hate or start comparisons but, Whitney got it after praising Patti. And Mariah got one too, even from Patti herself after her incredible performance.
Phenomenal upload! Whitney, Patti, Mariah, Luther, SWV all on ONE stage! And you also have extended audience reaction from PRINCE, Will Smith, Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx and the list goes on. I miss the 90s SOOO much.
Whitney had a amazing voice she was the greatest singer of them all no one compares to her her voice was everything she had great hit songs she is truly missed rip Whitney 1963-2012
Well deserved Miss Patty Oh my I miss Whitney Houston so much. She had presence. Look at the respect she showed Patty. Even holding her train. She was taught right
Whitney meant more to people than she ever knew and she still means much to me not being here this sister music got me thru 10 years overseas and anytime I see here in tv I stop for her she meant that much to me and I never met her but I plan to go to gravesite and I know I want see her but I’ll be as close to her as I ever could get to her alive much love to this woman.she lived her life how she wanted and she died to soon cause she was murdered her bad habits maybe was gonna eventually kill her but it’s not what killed her in the day she died on.
honor to patti labelle, presented by whitney houston, praise from cyndi lauper,oprah winfrey,and nona hendrix,a little word from luther vandros,tribute by mariah carey,swv and michael bolton, and standing ovattion from celine dion,prince,etc,and a joke from jamie foxx. wonderfull day, how lucky is this miss patti labelle with this tribute.all lagend music is gathered in the same roof,even the vocal trinity(mariah celine whitnet). AWSOME.
@christian Williams Chile, Whitney ain't no where near Patti. Patti is the Queen now of Whitney's era of Ladies she's the Queen but don't compare the two.
@@marimuffin nice joke huh?? Are you really saying pattie is more than whitney 🤦🏾♂️😂 whitney achieved what patti didn't do in her entire career Nippy is a golden standard!!!! Patti have 20 something albums and she sold 50 million whitney have 7 albums and sold 200+ million records 🤷🏾♂️ whitney will murder Patti's entire carrer!!!!!
This is what the Awards shows are about!True legends who can ABSOLUTELY SING!AND SO MUCH dignity and respect of others!Diffiently no stealing of other people's hardwork!(SONGS)JLO👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😊
Patti being honored Whitney and Luther presenting Mariah & Michael Bolton performing Prince, Celine Dion was in attendance. the house was packed with legends. such a rare event ❤❤
Legendary packed out awards show. That's when you knew if you went you'd see & hear some real performers & songstresses. It ain't like this anymore :( 1998 was a great year for R&B too.
ooh Mariah must've been slightly irritated when Whitney started singing the same song she was to perform later. I don't care. I just love seeing Whitney so comfortable with her voice.
like seriously?! Whitney sang a snippet of a song that happens to be a Patti signature song and that was shady cause Mariah would've performed it later?! wow, that's some real delusion lol
Iron lungs ✔ Titanium diaphragm ✔ Vibranium vocal cords ✔ Patti's the 1st official headline singer of a black R&B girl group( The Bluebelles) according to Sarah Dash . The 1st Black R&B girl group to perform live on UK TV. according to Sarah Dash. The Blusbelles, 1st and only girl group to have a fellow singer ( Cindy) leave for another rival girl group( The supremes). The 1st All female black rock band(LaBelle) The 1st Black female R&B group to perform at the Metropolitan Opera House.( LaBelle) The 1st black female rock band to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone.(LaBelle) That is 7#1 that can't be undone. Now what you say about that.
Whitney helping patti with the train of her dress. Mariah's tribute to her industry mother, Prince hopping out of his seat and it falling for a standing O for thee luther vandross. When artists respected their teachers. Smh
Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey ,Luther Vandross, Celine Dion, Prince, Michael Bolton honoring the great Patti La Belle? In 1998? Oh Lord, thank u for letting me be born in this era!! I grew up listening to the best music and I am still loving it. RIP to Whitney, Prince and Vandross!!😪😪😪
Whitney have manners. She wasnt "too big" to help Ms. Patti with her train. She always respected the Elders!
she was raised Old Skool
Yes, indeed. Whitney had true class. She bore The Voice that only God could have given and yet, she was aware that all of us are one so no one is better than the other. I miss her everyday.

It took 3 ppl to introduce Whitney 😂😂 to reward Patti....now thats QUEEN STATUS!
Ikr thats DIVA👑👑👑
Omar Dia HA HA! Well, Patti is a legend, she deserves the best.
LMBO HAHAHAHA
It’s called ass kissing..
Whitney is Queen for sure i never seen someone introduce another person who giving out an award
Reason whitney was so gifted cause of her respect for others.

Yes, she did get a standing ovation!!! Are you nuts?? That's WHITNEY....
Patti Paved the way for whitney patti was the voice first and still is plus Patti was honored not whitney!!!!
not to hate or start comparisons but, Whitney got it after praising Patti.
And Mariah got one too, even from Patti herself after her incredible performance.
Whitney was loved immensely. Having three people introduce you then to walk out to a standing ovation to introduce another legend. G.O.A.T
can we acknowledge patti’s body ! LAWd she was 50 somethin and that body
If you think she looks good, look at Tina.
Anyone noticed, when Luther Vandross walked out, only Prince stood up! 7:56
500night I noticed that. Prince knows talent!!!
Whitney and patti all on one stage wow
Lord. Such. Style and. Grace. The. One. And. Only. Whitney Houston. Helping. Ms. Patti Labelle. With. Her. Train Alright. Now
That's how a legend should be honored, by other superstars.
Phenomenal upload! Whitney, Patti, Mariah, Luther, SWV all on ONE stage! And you also have extended audience reaction from PRINCE, Will Smith, Chris Rock, Jamie Foxx and the list goes on. I miss the 90s SOOO much.

This is so much magic at one function! Celine, Miss.Patti, the lovely beautiful angel 😇Whitney, just so much! And miss Mariah oh my God.
mama Patti deserves that and so much more
Michael Bolton wow! He can sing
He sure can. It's a lot of great singers out here getting forgotten.
Effortlessly.
It's insane that Patti is still here and Whitney, Prince and Luther have all passed on.
Whitney meant more to people than she ever knew and she still means much to me not being here this sister music got me thru 10 years overseas and anytime I see here in tv I stop for her she meant that much to me and I never met her but I plan to go to gravesite and I know I want see her but I’ll be as close to her as I ever could get to her alive much love to this woman.she lived her life how she wanted and she died to soon cause she was murdered her bad habits maybe was gonna eventually kill her but it’s not what killed her in the day she died on.
With just a FEW notes from Whitney the Roof Blew off of the building!!!!!! WOW WOW WOW!!!!!
Mariah was amazing! Loved the raspy tone she had at that time. Michael Bolton's performance too, wow!

Yes it is look who it's for a Vocalist trendsetter Patti labelle..
Cindy Birdsong was on hand also to speak positively about her former band mate
@@moonraker30 That was such a touching moment, given their complicated history
@@popland1977 Yes and I am so glad they made peace with each other
Whitney killed that line... she sounded so good
Whitney all the way!!! Even Patti her self had to stand up to great the boss😂
Henry Costa PATTI is PATTI, whitney is Just whitney
Respect comes in two ways
You respect the youngsters and theyll do the same for u
Phil Royce you know that the clause ‘just Whitney’ is ungrammatical, right?

I was thinking. That was some real shade
like seriously?! Whitney sang a snippet of a song that happens to be a Patti signature song and that was shady cause Mariah would've performed it later?! wow, that's some real delusion lol
Federico Raggio nah, it was played just right, kinda shady
@@looneytunes105 oh come on... a snippet vs a performance?! I would've agreed if Whitney performed it, but just a snippet?!
Definitely was😂 they should've let Whitney sing that song 😂
Omg! Whitney & Patti collab...powerful

Diddys crazy ass mama
Michael Bolton!!!! Sang!!!!!! Patti was feeling it!!!!
I'm surprised Coko didn't hit one of those big belts in the song, as she can surely sing in that range...
Yea SWV dropped the ball big-time in that performance... that was their moment and they missed it.
Beautiful tribute but who's idea was it to not use Luther and whitneys voices
glynn colwell I know right
It was a very bad idea.
Yesss 🙆🏿♂️🤒🤦🏿♂️
I remember watching this when it first aired and recording it to VHS in May 1998. I still have the tape lol
Patti (and Me) loved Mariah's performance. Patti didn't do a standing ovation for free. Mariah was perfect.
of course
Patti LaBelle is a Legends Legend poise, magnificent, and talented. 🎶 🎤
Prince standing up 4 Luther says it all. Luther stands amongst d greatest vocalists of all time
The award was more a centerpiece on the living room table 🤦🏾♀️😫🏆
1998: Mariah pays tribute to Patti labelle
2012: Pattie labelle pays tribute to Mariah Carey
This is the relationship artists need.
and 2023 Patti pays tribute again to Mariah Carey

Celine and Prince in the audience; Whitney and Mariah and Luther onstage. 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Holy fuck bolton can sing.
