😂😂😂Patti came and step all ova Yolanda soprano!!!😂😂😂💀 respectfully!!!!
You guys are crazy, when they invite Patti Labelle they know exactly what they're going to get, she isn't competing she's doing what she's always done, go up there to sing......It's not her style to sit back and wait for someone else to light the room up, she's a blessing and a true treasure and the insults about her is just sad....Great job Aunt Patti you did well.
Stephen Williams that was tacky and no respect for the other singer. No matter how you twist and turn it , that wasn't a professional approach.

you are in error, because Patti and Gerald were like Mother and Son. People who are making more out of this than it is are sad individuals. See the problem is tat "New age singers" don 't sing with the passion and emotion nor expression that "Legends" sing with. Most new age singers ay dance but their body's are stiff when they sing. The Legends let it go and are not concerned about how they look when they sing, and they don't do the ""ridiculous finger in the air note chasing crap". legends didn't/don't oer kill they know when to pour it on and when to take the gas off
Whoever's idea this was deserves a Grammy.
I've seen this many times over the years and what made me choke up today is that Mama Patti is so generous that when she sings she gives her all. She pours it all out so it is all left in the stage.
I wish to learn to do the same. To give everything when I sing.
❤
When the Queen Comes Out, She COMES OUT
OK!
Yes
Yes she does
Periodt
Yes and that’s on Mary had a little lamb🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🤍🤍🤍
DId anyone mention the courage it took for Papa O'Jay to get up there? Big UPS!

Yes and to lose them so close together, I can't imagine the pain and grief. I pray he and his family have been as well as possible over the years ❤ 👍 👍
He is a strong man
Gerald levert was pattys godson... she got every right singing her fullest in memory of him... pure expression and love... she is amazing omg
Exactly!
sophia bailey wow didn't know that, ty.The love showed no boubt.
Your stupid ass dont no.shit
Legacy Bailey oh wow I didn't know he was very godson😞😱😮.
I miss him sooooooo DAMN much!
When Pattie Hit That Stage, Voice, dress, Everything, She Lifted That Song Where It Needed To Be... What A Tribute... YessSssSss Queen
Yes to the lift!
Aunty patti turned up and showed out 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Nobody mentioned Gladys Knight she still sound the same a lot of people say she sound like a man but i give credit where it's due the woman can sing her face off still show her some love too one of the greats love her!
Gladys is a staple, only a deaf person can overlook her obvious talents and only a tone deaf can mistake her voice and style as manly. I don't say you have to like her, I'm not a Beverly Sills fan, but I do recognizer her talent and skills. There are few singers who've retained the richness of their voice in age as Gladys.
Gladys is the best vocalist up there
Yvette Briscoe Gladys is unmatched!!!!
Yvette Briscoe I still like her too go Gladys.
Queen Gladys voice is angelic
outstanding performance! eddie singing this tribute to his own son breaks my heart :(
but he did that thang !
Brought tears to my eyes😢😢
Yes they did the d thing
Very sad
Can’t watch it anymore. 😥
She gets a full house standing ovation the moment she hits the stage.
If u got gift use it. Be best what ever too. That what old folk say. O God I am old! I became my mom. That good! I forgot I am 62. Thank God,time pass fast enjoy life. Old but feeling young.
This was a blessing and no Patti wasn't trying to upstage anyone, she was being Patti, put your heart into what you do and the rest will follow, that is her art please look at it over, she never did anything to outshine anyone, if you knew her you would know she's not that way she just enjoys the emotion....I love Yolanda- Glady's and especially Patti, this was an amazing performance from all but Patti went all out.....
SHE WASNT SUPPOSE TO BE A PART OF THE TRIBUTE BUT SITTING AND LISTENING BACK STAGE SHE KNEW GERALD NEEDED THAT SONG TO BE LIFTED AND THAT SHE DID. SHE WOKE THE PLACE UP!!
Only Eddie and choir can keep up with Patti. Patti has been singing like that for years and I love it.
Patti is just being Patti. You know what you are getting. She will show up and show out. Don’t hate.
LMBO the look on Yolanda's face when Pattie came out!!! cracks me up every time...Pattie wasn't having it!! LOVE this beautiful tribute to Gerald!
They had rehearsal.. everybody at choir rehearsal knew it was going to be handled 🤗
The “step back youngster, I go this”.
YOUR HOME AFH ExActly Yolanda in her late 30’s and Patti in her 60’s
I never saw that before. Priceless. 🤣🤣 I know here exact words were look at this bitch🤣
Lmfaoooo she was tight
when patti came out mmm, yu can tell she put her soul into it
No voice is greater But you can truly say. You feel the love. No one out sang anybody. That's pure love for a ARTIST, A FRIEND A SON. COME ON PEOPLE GET IT TOGETHER. WE ARE CREATED DIFFERENT AND THAT'S IT. LOVE THIS POST. BECAUSE IT'S FACTS
Baby Mama Patti Floated out on that stage and let the children have it!!!!!!
yolunda appeared to me like she needed help she sound like she couldnt hold that note any longer soooo patti said i got you you just entered my atmosphere
Looked like Patti just cut Yolanda off in mid stride
Trust me, if you can really sing like Yolanda Adams, Patti has already given that lady her props the very fist time she heard her. Patti is.
Thing I love about Patti, she's not a hater, she Loves to builder people up.
Yolanda Doesn’t need help WTF lol. Pattie and Gerald are close and that’s the difference.. look up Pattie and GL together they show out when it’s them two
Lol.
Oh patti has to sing alone coz she always owns the stage. She swallows them whole. Gladys seemed used to it but Yolanda is like "Im not singing with her again." Lol
you got me laughing so loud in my house lol
NOt when Gerald was alive they use to go toe to toe
MrElicer I swear she swallows them whole indeed. Amazing
MrElicer 😂😂😂
funny but true
Patti was like my turn to show yall how it's done
Patti told Yolanda to be quiet when big girls are singing. Lololol
😂😂😂
YES SHE DID
Did y'all see Yolanda face 😭😭😭😭😭💞💞💞💞
Yolanda thoughts were
WOW
@@dianebutler7889baby yolanda looked pissed 😂😂
YALL CAN'T TELL ME THE SPIRIT OF THE MOST HIGH AIN'T IN THESE FOLKS.
@ 7:17 Gladys is like just sing chile....I ain't even gon try right now. lmao... Love them all.
I love Gladys knight's voice
So POWERFUL! Emotional tribute. People don't sing like this anymore. They should!
No they sure don't.
AMEN!!!!!!
Yup
Patti comes out like ..........move bitches im here now
gives me chills when yolanda's vocals blend into patti's storm
Praise God mercy.
Yolanda was in her feelings that Patti came in that powerful
Seems like when Patti came on stage her voice and presence is so powerful. My GOD, has truly blessed her.
Still to this day I cant believe he is gone. I can hear the pain in all of their voices!!
Go Patti... She has took over the song.
its crazy when a 65 y.o singer out sings you.
GREAT tribute.....I don't think Patti intentionally overpowered Yolanda. It almost seemed as if Patti came out too soon...she just couldn't hold back, but that's PATTI.....She was definitely, without a doubt born to do what she do...and that's GET PEOPLE OFF THEIR FEET and feel the presence in the room...LOVE HER!!!!and Yolanda
Yolanda was big mad
6:52 was otherworldly! That Patti...I tell you.
Love all these artists but especially love Ms. LaBelle. She, like Gerald, never goes half way. It's all or nothing. Some ppl may not appreciate her style but to me (and a lot of others), she's golden!!! I really don't know how Eddie was able to perform this at all. I was sobbing just looking at him and the photos of his wonderfully lovable son. Rest in eternal peace, Gerald. We will always love and miss you!
This is how you do a tribute! Yes!
Patti Sang a version of this song way back in the 80's during her 'Look to the rainbow tour'. She sang it here the same way she's always sang it. Educate before you hate
Truth. Greatest version ever to this song, dedicated to her sister Jackie.
Gladys u know u bad to the bone too. Patty. And All of them sung there song. Truly felt like we missing his son. R.i.p. belove.
Wow this was soooo powerful… they did Gerald justice and you know Patti gon show out !!!
Im only 28 born 92 and i only got to learn about Gerald levert thru his music. And as a fan this is such a beautiful tribute. GL the goat 👍
BABY!!! PATTI HAD TO READJUST HER WIG...SHE WAS GOIN N!!😂🔥
Everytime I watch this I laugh so hard poor Yolanda haha
Patti owns every stage that she sets foot on ❤
Correct
Jesus Christ, Eddie, then GLADYS? They must have had to add wood under that stage to handle that load. Talent planet. Crazy. I'm crying.
lol
Patti its 2021 and you still haven't given me my wig back!
I miss him... I love me some Patti!
lol
RIP GERALD LEVERT “2018” and it’s still a most painful loss to us all fly high..!!!! 😍
Dorothy Womack. U are so rite still missing g levert in this present moment 2018
Yes, my whole family loved this young man and his passing made us all cry💔😭😭😢I remember the saddmess in my brothers face as he spoke of his passing😭😭and i truly believe that his brother Sean died of a broken heart 💔💔Gerald Levert was his HERO 😥😭😢May their Souls Rest in Paradise Valleys 💞 FOREVER MISSING YOU SEAN AND GERALD LEVERT 💔💕💕😢😢
OK fly high gerald
I listen to Casanova a lot.
OMG I am sitting here crying (wind beneath my wings) Gerald is so missed- gone to soon
You have to be ready to enter Pati's stratosphere. lol....GREAT tribute, though
More gospel music
You guys are killing me with these comments lmao
I have no idea how he and Cissy Houston (Whitney's Mom) were able to sing tributes to their children. I was crying like a baby.
Back when music was real
Patti was not to be toyed with in this performance
Patti at 5:46 gave me chills man
I have listened to this song countless times and that part has made me shout. She is breaking down the quarter notes into eights while assigning them words seemingly on the spot. Her musical ideas and on the spot execution are things even those with Doctorates of music would have difficulty finding and simultaneously executing. She is a unique gift from higher power Creator.
7:53 Gladys Knight voice is so soothing.
Patti came in on the climax of the song. You can hear when the tempo went up. She is a showstopper an will give you everything.
I am over here DYING!!! @ 5:32 watch Yalonda, and Ms.Patti hits that note and burns Yalonda UP!!!! Like now this ****** didn't come still my note! LMAO!!!! I am cracking up!!! You most def have to be on point with The One and Only Mama Patt!
When you see rappers with heads down during these songs it let's you know even more that they too are going through something and the song hits just right for them.
Very strong of a father to give such wonderful tribute to his son God bless rest in peace Gerald Levert missing you but in a bitter place🙏🙏
Props to the strongest man on that stage, Eddie LeVert. Everybody did such a great job. It was good to see Yolanda and Gladys hold back and let Patti, be Patti and not get into a screamming match. Just beautiful.
Hold back what? They both have what they could’ve only given. Patti did what she could only do which was trump that 😊 thank you and good night
NOW THIS IS HOW YOU HONOR A LEGEND!!!!
Not by sending out "Z-List" singers to "chop & screw" what actually made the Legend a Legend.
Patti's vocal entrance is most often Stellar !!
HUMBLE1 Not the Z list!!😎
Patti LaBelle speech touch my heart more and and his father made me cry because I know he truly misses his son especially his son who was determined to let you shine !!such a blessing when you find a person that allows someone to be beyond them" or in front of them.!! Amen that shows all mankind it's better to give than to receive. Amen amen
Mann Patti has me In tears
Yolandas face at 5.34 when patti over sings her is priceless 😂
She was so pissed however, everyone was ready for her and all that harhar to be over 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nobody but keke Wyatt can hang wit Patti
if you are on a stage with Patti Labelle bring your A game,Patti won't settle for less,always
Patti is the best Singer of ALL time, this voice is simply unbelievable, unbelievable. The Legendary Godmother of Soul! SHE CHANGES THE ATMOSPHERE!
it's 2016, and Gerald is missed more, and more, and more.... forever and a day.
I applaud Eddie, I cannot imagine the strength it took him that night to honor his son.
Miss you Gerald Levert
Now that's Music!!! I Love You My Teddy Bear in the Sky!!
I think Patti couldn't hear when her time was coming and came in to early. But I get tickled every time I see this I still love me sum yo.
It was rehearsed that way. Lower voices then the bigger voices. Patti is a dramatic soprano so she’ll easily out belt Yolanda. That’s why they had her over power Yolanda’s note like that during the bridge.
Ms.Patti came and shut it down.. i love you Ms. Patti
I don't know how Eddie did this------so much sadness-----Love Gerald and Eddie!
Ms.Patti set that stage on fire.........lol
Patti always shuts it dooown!!!!
That`s how its done!!!
Still to this day I cry.
05:34 - LOL Patti, do you really have to make people look amateur singing with you? queen!
LOL... she does that all the time... lol
Anggi Raymond Pardede lol I just noticed that lol
Lol
Yea
Patti is a great singer and none of the ladies has her voice not Beyoncé , Yolanda , but it was a tribute and she sung from her heart about a godson she loved. Gerald and his dad are so so amazing.
Miss Patti knows how to enter on a stage. She put her heart and souls in that performance and lifted that that song. Still get chills!!!
HOW SAD IS IT WATCHING A FATHER SINGING AT HIS SONS TRIBUTE. GOOD JOB THEY WERE ALL INCREDIBLE
PATTI SENT GERALD OFF LIKE NO OTHER.ALL OF YALL ARE AMAZING
I have never seen this before but I have had the joy and pleasure of seeing miss Patty Labelle in concert twice
Ms.Patti went all the way out for Gerald and he did for her tribute some years back on BET….love it
R.I.P. Leverts Brothers This Is A Beautiful Song. 2019
Pattie blew it up!!!! You better SANG
The thing about Patti didn't give a damn about Yolanda's fave. Patti had already been hit by the spirit and was going in. She probably didn't even notice.
I love me some Ms. Patti.
Eddie sings like a nightingale & patti exudes her singing prowess as always
Patti came out and SLAYED!!!!!!!
7:44 Patti almost snatched her own wig
Snatched!!!! Go ‘head Miss Patti!!
Im a grown ass man in tears right now.lol God bless you.
Wow patti labelle really really miss him u can tell and they knw it they just stood back and let her sing they r all legends and divas up there. A real diva knows how to work another diva just be yourself and patti labelle was just being herself so they let one of the divas rock out they know they r divas so there was no hate at all on stage
If you close your eyes, you could swear that was gerald singing instead of his dad
Patti 'Thunderstorm' LaBelle...lol
this is real life proof of god's woderful work. We have Patti who was in her 60's there and Yolanda who was in her late 30's and Patti belting those notes perfectly is amazing. she's singing with so much emotion this tribute was full of love. You can see Eddie looks at Patti like wao this lady is a queen @ 7:38 This was the best
Patti killed it first time seeing this performance ❤
I always gets goosebumps when patti comes out... this was amazing keep watching it over and over.
Love you Patti.
