That day, the background singers were fired, the card lady was fired, the Christmas tree was fired, Santa Clause was fired, even Christmas got a pink slip.
The shot of the crowd holding lighters up while she's singing about not knowing the words and having no background singers is one of the funniest things I've ever seen 🤣🤣
I used to think when I saw this video that those were just random people they pulled from the audience cause they couldn’t find the background singers 😂
the entire ceremony was a trainwreck. patti entering the stage earlier than on cue, the late backup singers, using literal cue cards when organizers could obviously afford a teleprompter in 1996, bad sound engineering, some of the microphones were off-sounding and the mic on the last part was echoing.
@@jreyesg90 Y'all still on this "back in my day" nonsense? Plenty of good music, good singers, good performances etc. are still out there. Just because it's not what the radio plays or what labels advertise doesn't mean it's not out there.
patti saying “i don’t know the song” just gets funnier when you know that a couple of years before this event, she recorded a christmas album which included a cover of this christmas
I don't think you need to learn the words of the songs, per se, in order to record an album. It's a different situational setup. In a studio, you can stop, pause, play, rerecord, etc. On stage, not so much. It's a performance. So, memorizing the lyrics is a must
Well unless you're Mariah, people don't tend to to tour for Christmas albums and litterally never have to think about the song after they leave the studio. Paul McCartney hasn't sang Wonderful Christmastime in over 40 years, but he's sang Hey Jude litterally thousands of times.
This was HILARIOUS from start to finish. From her coming out too early, then not having the words, the facial expressions, the background singers, then still being on the stage when the President comes out. This is HILARIOUS! 😂😂😂
This is my first time seeing this😂😅 I'm surprised no one has done a meme on this. But how can she not know the words to such a famous Christmas song lol
Patti going through the five stages of grief on stage and then turning around to discover the President has appeared is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Bill Clinton coming late was the reason there were no background singers. They got caught backstage when the secret service men rushed to secure the area.

And do like this? I have to. Thank you very much. Now it's my turn to do an introduction. No more singing for me, honey, I already blew. So, but I am coming back to sing again. Yes I am, I'm coming back to sing again AHAHA!
The best thing about this video is that she managed to sound immaculate despite all these unfortunate events. Patti's got 99 problems in this video, but singing ain't one!
Actually what I guess happened here was that she took very long to introduce him. The arrangement cues his solo but she doesn't read the name. So he just does not begin playing. By the time he is introduced by her, there is just not enough time before she has to resume singing.
This was my GF's reaction aswell. "WTF, did they just pull the background singers of the street?" I was crying so hard 😂 I can't imagine how this happened. "Okay guys, you're singing for the president. Put on some rags or a filthy old winter coat and you're golden" I'm dying😂
Oleathia Jones They may have recruited her at the last minute. It happens all the time with music gigs🎼. Especially when people cancel gigs. They’re lucky Patti showed up. But, it’s always a risk accepting a gig with someone holding cue cards and not know which cards are correct. Yikes 😬 🤨
Hi! @1btyflflwr I'm a writer working on an essay on this performance. Would love to interview you about what it was like to be there for this in person, thanks.
@@cindyokehie4397 Have you seen the interview about this event? She said she doesn't want to remember that night. I hope she doesn't have this vid taken down. Funny stuff right here...
They gave her NOTHING to work with and she still had the grit to stand there and belt her heart out. Anyone else would have left the stage. Not Ms Patti. She's an icon and a legend!
i'm glad i was able to sing for a certain fairy from the forest who once asked for background singers, and no one could answer at the time. 🥹🫶 hope pomudachis' best attempt to sing for her will bring pomu all the happiness come the holiday season! 💚 _we are pomu forever!!_ 💚
The President and First Lady walking out smiling and waving like nothing is happening while Patti looks upset and confused. It's like she is in the twilight zone where she is the only person who doesn't know what is going on!😂
Went to go look at your page bc of the comments (100% agree btw lol) and saw your "The Hate U Give" review; literally halfway through that book right now! Crazy coincidence =)
There was so much more to this viral video than I remember seeing 😂 - she came out at the wrong time - where her background singers - her arguing with the card girl lol - her “oh my god” after every word lmao
Plot twist: Those weren’t her background singers. Those were random people from the audience. Her background singers were backstage eating a Patti Sweet Potato Pie

Osiel Escalante damn u brought back some deeeep nostalgia lmao!!!
Lmaooooo
OMG! LOL
More like when you have a presentation in class and all of your groupmates let you down
lololol lol 🤣🤗
That day, the background singers were fired, the card lady was fired, the Christmas tree was fired, Santa Clause was fired, even Christmas got a pink slip.
It's what they deserve
Hell, even the audience was fired for being dry
@@Nocturne22 i laugh so hard 🤣🤣
Deceased omg 🤣🤣
The Clintons were also fired (in case you’re wondering how Hilary lost in 2016)
If there was ever anything that needed to be an SNL skit, this is it!
Imagine how much fun Maya Rudolph could have with a skit centered around this.
Omggg yes!!
I so agree!
YEEEEESSSSSS
But there is nothing to add! This is already a perfect skit. You couldn't write it better than this 😂😂
This is my absolute favorite video. She's fighting for her life up there and sounding like a queen doing it
It felt like a fight!😂
This is so chaotic. Patti walking out early and running back in was just the start.
Hahahahahaha 😂😂😂😂
Lmaoooo right 😭😭
That’s what you call foreshadowing lmao
It was a mess from the get-go, this is like poetry!
It was the arms out for me 😂
She was fighting for her life on that stage 😭
Not really 😂
Miss Paul, have a nice xmas henny xoxo
@unkentainable i know. that's why i said it. and before you. don't mansplain to me my own comment boo
I’m in tears
She really wasn’t hiding her distress. You know all hell broke loose after that🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The shot of the crowd holding lighters up while she's singing about not knowing the words and having no background singers is one of the funniest things I've ever seen 🤣🤣
😅😅 omg that observation 😅. That was so funny
Fr 😂😂
💀💀🤣🤣🤣
Spot on what I told myself.
Can’t get over the background singers jamming at 2:23 like they weren’t missing for half the performance 😂
I used to think when I saw this video that those were just random people they pulled from the audience cause they couldn’t find the background singers 😂
They were smoking in the backroom
And the audience just rocked with it too 😂
She said later that security wasn’t letting them on stage!
@@bridgetdunleavy3549 oh
Patti really said if this is gonna be a train wreck, it's gonna be a pitch perfect one.
A+ with honors for Patti 💅🏻
C- to everyone else for effort 🤡
The entire crowd: 👁👄👁
the entire ceremony was a trainwreck. patti entering the stage earlier than on cue, the late backup singers, using literal cue cards when organizers could obviously afford a teleprompter in 1996, bad sound engineering, some of the microphones were off-sounding and the mic on the last part was echoing.
Absolutely
You hear me! Still SANG her face off 😂
Perrrrrrfection
At least no one can accuse her for lip syncing.
Anning in Love nowadays singers wouldn’t have experienced something like this since everything’s practically back tracked.

I don't think you need to learn the words of the songs, per se, in order to record an album. It's a different situational setup. In a studio, you can stop, pause, play, rerecord, etc.
On stage, not so much. It's a performance. So, memorizing the lyrics is a must
She knew the song, she just didn’t know the words 😅
She had the lyrics with her
She knew the words, she just didn’t remember which order they went in
Well unless you're Mariah, people don't tend to to tour for Christmas albums and litterally never have to think about the song after they leave the studio.
Paul McCartney hasn't sang Wonderful Christmastime in over 40 years, but he's sang Hey Jude litterally thousands of times.
The zoom-in on the swaying lighters on “🎶I have no background singers🎶” is so underrated
The kids were so confused😂
😂😂😂😂😂
🎄😂😂 No doubt… they swaying to it…
That had me out 😂😂😂
Please don’t ever delete this video. It’s an annual tradition.
EVER!!! This is comedy gold! lol
It was deleted!
You’re hot!!!
i agree lol
Agreed. Came to find it today in preparation for the holidays. See you all soon!
damn that card lady must’ve been having the largest anxiety attack of her life

It was definitely a man.

Lmao
How in the world have I NEVER seen this until now???!!!! I am thoroughly tickled yet impressed with how Ms Patti handled this.😂😂😂😂
Welcome to the Holiday Tradition 😊
I’ve never seen this either! I just saw a parody and I’m like what is he making in of???
This I my first time seeing it as well. 😂😂😂
This is my first time seeing this😂😅 I'm surprised no one has done a meme on this. But how can she not know the words to such a famous Christmas song lol

On life!! Actual tears
Lmao the president was there lolololol
She's so funny - she just like "Oh yeah, Bill's here, hey bub."
Bill Clinton coming late was the reason there were no background singers. They got caught backstage when the secret service men rushed to secure the area.

We're Pomu! And Pomu will forever be with us!!! 💚
The confused kids, the saxophonist playing his heart out, minding his business. I laughed so hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣
NEXT CARD!!!
She literally killed me at 1:19 when she shouts "OOH I GO! UUUUuhh"
And the keyboard player looking over at Patti. He was holding on for dear life. I am crying!🤣
😂
The President and First Lady walking out smiling and waving like nothing is happening while Patti looks upset and confused. It's like she is in the twilight zone where she is the only person who doesn't know what is going on!😂
Background singers coming in like “lol, sorry girl, we were having dinner” 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏽♂️
🤣🤣
Or a little egg nog 😅
PAHAHAHA 😭
I CANT BREATHE 😭💀
🤣🤣🤣
BIG POMU ENERGY! 💚
Pomuuuu 🎉
She’s still a phenomenal singer, even when she has no idea what she’s doing
First class performer
Right
Stephan Garcia she could sing the phone book
Yep I would have froze!!
She knew, it’s everyone else that was off.
when she came out at the wrong time though😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lissa St Brave He did say her name twice so i see why she got confused there
Thats should have been the tip off that it was all gonna go wrong
Her facial expression when she realized she came out too early was priceless
any good MC knows not to say the name until the very end. He definitely messed up
A foreshadowing of the legendary mess to come haha
WE ARE POMU 💚💚💚💚
Thank you Pomu, this is hilarious XD
The kids looking around 😂😂😂 they like what is this mom
Watching this train wreck has become a Christmas tradition.
It's that time of year again.... lol
FOR ME TOO HAHAHA
But is it really a train wreck? I think it’s genious! Hahahah merry xmas!

OH MY GOD I DIDNT REALIZE THE WHOLE PRESIDENT CAME OUT AT THE END. That really put the icing on the cake lol
Ikr? Lmao I was laughing hard when they announced it 😂😂

Jay Ellis damn u sexy af
Looking around Haha thanks. 😚

Went to go look at your page bc of the comments (100% agree btw lol) and saw your "The Hate U Give" review; literally halfway through that book right now! Crazy coincidence =)
Jay Ellis Just watched this because you brought it up on your most recent rpdr after show! This was hysterical, thank you.
Every time something goes wrong in my life i sing the 2:02 "Ohhh ohhh ohhh" part to express my disbelief and irritation bahahaha
BIG BOSS SENT ME HERE! WE ARE POMU! 💚💚💚💚
This is the most professional mess I’ve ever seen I loved every moment. She killed it!
Exactly. 😌
There was so much more to this viral video than I remember seeing 😂
- she came out at the wrong time
- where her background singers
- her arguing with the card girl lol
- her “oh my god” after every word lmao
The one thing I say right before I'm bout to go off is: "Oh my god." Not loud, no profanity..but beware
...and you missed that the band starts playing way before she was ready to sing.
And her talking, singing, and clapping over the sergeant's solo lmao
I’m still pretty sure the cue cards were run by a man.
All that you've mentioned was on the video.
We are pomu, this clip is incredible 💚💚
Pomu 💚
"Let me see that card again girl, let me see that CARDIGAN!"
How have I gone my entire existence this far and not have known about this...😂
@@A22DNAL HAAHAH
Plot twist: Those weren’t her background singers. Those were random people from the audience. Her background singers were backstage eating a Patti Sweet Potato Pie
omfg lmfao
Secret service coming in for the save
That's what I thought. Those background singers seem like they came right out from the audience.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they never booked background singers, just found 3 randoms in the audience and asked if they could sing lol
@@antoniovasquez9946 hahahahaha
💚 We are Pomu!! 💚
