    I come back this video a lot. They’re both strong in different ways. Patti is the thunder, Diana is the wind. Diana’s tone, precision, and pitch can’t be beat. Patti’s growl, strength, and head voice can’t be beat. Two different forces and masters at their craft.

    People make such a big deal of Patti showing up Diana here, but there’s no sense at all that Diana was bothered. She actually looks to be enjoying Patti’s performance. Truth is that Diana’s performance is quite effective. Her delicate treatment feels introspective, like a woman who’s almost lost hope that she might find love. Patti’s is the declaration of a woman who is intent on finding love. Most humans will experience the desperation Diana communicates, and hopefully they will also feel the empowerment that Patti personifies. Very different takes, both equally valuable. Just depends on what the listener needs at any given time. There’s no denying the rare power Patti possesses, and yet it’s undeniable that few singers possess an ability to emotional inhabit a lyric the way Ross does. Patti can blow you away like being on a rollercoaster ride that thrills you, but she doesn’t invite you in. Diana can’t blow you away, but she can take your heart on an intimate, emotional journey. Enjoy them both.

      If this is the same show I remember as a teen, she did it because she literally invaded Adam Ants performance which is a huge musician faux pas. At the end Patti handed her a** back to her. You have to be a musician to know just how wrong that was.

    Diana and Patti are on opposite levels of the spectrum. Diana has a light soft voice, light lyric soprano. Patti is a loud dramatic soprano. The only way their voices could be more opposite is if Diana was a soft bass.

And she did...she wasnt being nasty or shady or mean. Patti reached for the mic...Diana handed it to her, after a little mic' tease..and the rest is history.
