Patti Labelle- "Endless Love" 1995

[anthonykeithjohnson3]

Do, anyone realize it beside's me, that Patti was taken it easy on Eddie? It was like she was awaiting for him to take it to another level and he didn't do it, she wanted to turn it out so baddly.

[kucheza]

there will always be one patti labelle. 'something is wrong' is her best performance..this i what i call music....they mashed this song, as my little boy says...

[ikom35]

this is singing to the max!

[Emmett1996]

Tanya Blount has an amazing voice.

[pminner]

You got to give them that!!!

[ReddzVoice]

We know that Patti LaBelle, Eddie LeVert, and Gerald LeVert are awesome performers. But Tonya Blount is R&B's hidden treasure. WOW!

[honcho76]

They ripped this song apart!!! I remember this performance like it was yesterday. That Tanya Blount can blow!!

[blkzuri]

thanks for that info! i was wondering where she was?

[niptuck101]

At 0:59 I could've sworn Patti prematurely got on stage. Even the note at 1:30 is very Patti-ish. But thankfully there's only one Patti LaBelle and she ripped it.

[UrLvr4Lf]

Don't forget to pick up Patti's Latest release LIVE IN WASHINGTON DC CD it's crazy!!  5 stars!

[folamak]

omg das da gal frm sister act. i wish she ade it big like lauren they were both sik

[sultrysound]

lol they went crazy at the end!

[misterhyla]

Patti' Patti" Patti' Patti' need I keep calling your name' you are too vicious on stage lady' I was a fool to try to out shout you' and got my feeling hurt' but I love you still' there is no bad blood between us only love

[branden0007]

Thats regarding the first couple!!!!

[branden0007]

Thats Tanya Blout...check out her other vids!

_bRanden

[detriotman]

who is that skinny woman?

[DaEnviedOne]

You ever seen " Sister Act " she plays in that..and her name is Tonya in that movie also

[misterhyla]

I was singing this song in the shower last night and had the music full blast

[arroweight]

THIS IS LOVE, WHAT MORE CAN I SAY WOW

[Mrparisf]

Yes, Tanya did bring the heat. That's my girl. It takes a true singer to sing with Pattie and be noticed. Her presence was must certainly noticed and heard.

[iveywebb]

95', my senior year of high school. i remember going to school the day after this performance and talking about how Tanya held her own. everybody agreed. even the old-heads were like i don't know who that young girl was but she didn't seem intimidated at all by Patti, and she can really sing.

[AuntyTala]

the man singn with pati. i didnt kw he was a singa

[JACKO01232]

is it sad tht i cried?

lol

[msbigtiny40]

oh wow: where do I start, I love them all, now even more, and patti she just gets better as time goes on, when I was younger I liked her but didn't really realize how deeply she felt the music that she sings but now over the years and life circumstances, I know better because I feel the passion in every note.

[italylovespatti]

Your words could be my words.Miss Patti helps all of us day by day. What a blessing!

[cakebatter93]

R.I.P Gerald and Luther... I love me some Patti Patti, you saw that heffa trying to outsing Patti at the end?? You know Miss Patti Sang and blew that heffa out the door

[sweatyhot]

You know what this made me cry. First Patti is a very generous singer and she has always been. The two Laverts did their thing pappa and son both and I'm sad ones gone. Tonya girl I had no idea. You weren't trying to out do Patti, you just were making her work it out and she was brilliant but she is twice and more your age . You made me realize you can really sing.Excuse me I meant SANG!!!!

[MszFiney]

go tanya..

[daintyfidem]

simply the best

[BK227]

Now this is singing...lol....I love it...

[DX1011985]

I have this on VHS. THIS WAS SUCH AN AMAZING TRIBUTE!!! Your not gonna see something to this standard EVER AGAIN! ROTF!!! at the guy that jumps up @ 2:10 cuz of Patti. I would have done the same thing!!!!

[wjackson101]

at 2:47 Tanya brought the heat on stage!!!!!!!!

[fatz21201]

i love it so much when you have REAL SINGERS AND PERFORMERS ON STAGE that put their heart and soul in everything that that sing

[NoSuchThingAsTrinity]

I can't do Gerald Leverts voice.

[jayon922]

RIP Gerald Levert & Your Brother As Well & May GOD Once again Bless Your Dad--- This Is a Classic Thanks 4 Posting

[gtownrox]

you can make babies to Gerlads sexy voice man....its funny where he goes, "sing it Daddy" at 3:20 to his father Eddie. And Gerald and Eddies smiles melt my heart away!!!! if u check out the tribute to Gerald, Patti was like his mom.

[mrduragss]

Love the shouting and belting. They brought the house down I wonder how diana must have felt.

[majestic23rose]

thas whassup....PATTI BASICS!!  LOVE PATTI! LOVE YOUR WORK...

[LGKids]

Does anyone see the music notes just coming out of Patti's mouth! They don't make duets like this and shows like this anymore. If they don't bring back real music, what will we do! It will come back!

[tenor220]

no one can outsing patti!!

[dwwiz1]

I love Patti's play on words and still stay on pitch....amazing!

[PRNeneChulo]

I love when Patti lets Tanya go for it, just goes to show what a classy lady she is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[njharris27]

Patti was good beyond description. tanya killed her part!!!I dont know why i dont hear her voice. She kinda sounded like whitney at 3:50 and the my my my and patti at 3:11!!! She prolly was influenced by them, so she should have made it.

[mztwylah]

Miss U G...

Always

[LaBelle63]

tanya was singing jus like patti

[HUMENATURE]

Im actually gonna go out on a limb and say that Tanya Blount could possibly be one of the best female vocalists to emerge in the 90's. This was such a wonderful performance

R.I.P. G

[cmcbeath]

OMG, finally someone that can actually hang with Patti.  Tanya Blount we are waiting for your return.

[simfi1]

WHERE on earth is Tonya now. That is a performance I never forgot and regret that I never got on tape. Bless Youtube! Thank you for sharing that video!!!

[cmcbeath]

In 1995, old school versus new school.

Awesome!

[choirXgirlXpride]

DANG

[jclark23323]

was it me or was it like looking at a before and after? Tanya and Patti looking too much alike and the leverts, thats a no-brainer. what did happen 2 tanya though? she would've been big

[knockkey]

TRUE GREATNESS

[groovdafied]

i love this song very much, and I love Patti, but this turned out to be a yelling contest =/ ugh... The best redone version is Luther and Mariah Carey. A perfect song that got butchered. Honestly Patti did an excellent job, just everyone on stage did their own thing, instead of singing the song as if they were in love.

[Niquesastar]

i think is the last time i saw tonya perform her voice is amazing i think patti should of tone it down a little and let tonya get a litter more shine everyone already knows patti can blow but it seems alot of people over looked tonya in general someone shoulda gave her a deal

[adwreunion]

Patti did her thing, you saw at 3:48 Patti stopped singing to give Tanya a chance then she just blew it out of the water

[mistertrucker]

Patti  is good and to me,this is me only, I think the four singing are really good.

one word to describe it,powerful.

[bazladoo]

Who was the guy with the blue jacket? He ruined it a bit. The other 3 were good though.

[Shandz101]

That's The Music That'll Move Your Soul

[CastlesandMansions]

Wow! Only sistas can go toe to toe like that using those God-given vocals to deliver such an electrifying performance. We stand in a league all our own. No other nation can pull this stuff off. Just us Hebrew Israelites.(Deut. 7:6) Yes, we are a special people! Just keeping it real. Does anyone know if Tanya is still singing?

[tazz83blu]

Tanya was good at the end and the end. In the middle she tried to show off and wus off key. Ya'll know it's true. When she sung I'll be a fool for you. She did to much and tried to cum back. R.I.P Gerald u talked most of the song. come on Perorm don't dictate.

[DonDiva4u03]

GOing to see Patti LaBelle tonight in NY 12-22-07

[LA2SQUAD]

WOOHOO!!! Patti labelle knows how to take ova the stage and make the other singers look like props on the stage....AMEN!! love her voice.... a true DIVA!!!

[LA2SQUAD]

Patti Labelle is awesome!!! She really knows how to take over. She just made the other singers look like props on the stage.

[SoulSir]

I can only say one word(EFFORTLESS)well done.

[willkelli1974]

Sing Tanya!!! I went to high school with her and she can sing her tail off. I like the way Tanya uses her classical training.  I hear it girl. Patti is one of my favourite singers in the world. No need to compare Tanya and Patti, they are two different singers and Tanya respects Patti. Good job Tanya!!!

[scrapkeem]

this video is the baum!!!!! i don't know who tonya is, but that chic is full of soul and can sing her but off.

[Avalita07]

PATTI!!!!!!!

[Avalita07]

They all sound great 2gether, I LOVE the way Patti & Gerald just let their emotions go!...All 4 of them are powerhouses..& that Tonya lady has a STRONG voice!...luv it..Of course PATTI will always be my #1 tho! :-)

[kindacute06]

Tanya sounds like patti att a point in this great peformance but patti cleared the floar att 4:05 - 4:10 she ate

[UrLvr4Lf]

Tonya held her own but PATTI had to show that girl who owns that stage!! You'll always BEEEEEEE!!! Yes!! Shut her down!

[luvpolitics]

gerald, god rest his soul, even over sang Patti on this one, lol, but they did good

[lyricalkismet]

Tanya needs to come back out with something new. She was definitely one of the best (and most underrated) of the 90s. I absolutely LOVE her voice.

[revenuesharing]

I heard she is singing gospel music now. I think she lives in DC. I'll google her to see what comes up.

[Candie4JC]

patti's muh girl!!!

[sexyladynALB]

I love this song and the video. Gerald you are deeply missed.

[olskolsoul]

THis Performance was Perfect i mean each voice completed each other. Patti and Tanya, and of Course Gerald and Eddie. This was Really Amazin. 200 stars

[revenuesharing]

oh my goodness. To God be the GLORY.

Thank you for this posting.

[olskolsoul]

DAMN dats all i got to say...That performance gave me CHILLS, A HIT STROKE, everythang...lol. DAts was Incredible.

[naturreal1705]

Everyone did great on here. But Patti & Gerald got it hot. Gerald with the "My, My, My" & Patti with her high long pitches blew the performance out. I enjoyed this clip. Patti will always and forever do the damn thang. Love it.

[pjpso54]

They are fools! They are broken may heart!... I'm steel possessed. Great! Thank you!

[kindacute06]

that bitch can sing big time i mean att att apoint she sount like patti and her voice fooled me and y is mr eddie lookin like that att the camera lol but that broad got a voice on her but you sen how patti put her back donwn att the end man this video is crazy

[knockkey]

GREATNESS

[knockkey]

JUST GREATNESS

[slimrl]

tonya wasnt tryin to outsing her..i was there thru the rehearsals..patti encouraged her to sing her heart out. patti loves it and at the time tonya wassnt getting any work, so patti told her to sing her heart out..it wasnt a competition (who could compete wit patti?) it was nuthin but love..

[SweetNovember79]

I told Tom Joyner on his show that monday after Gerald passed that is is my favorite TV performance of all time. Classic!

[ThaFlyestMoor72]

One of the Greatest Performances I've Seen. Anybody know where Tanya Blount is?

[stillwill2]

tanya blount sang, eddie levert and gerald sang, patti made the whole show; what a voice.

[AER1985]

there are only a handful of female singers that may be able to survive during HURRICANE PATTI: tramaine hawkins, jennifer hudson, tamela mann, d'atra hicks, lashun pace, martha wash, melonie daniels, melba moore and betty wright.

[adoniseric]

For me, this is by and far the best rendition of this song I have heard. I luv PATTI!!!!!!

[ryanwilsonmusic]

I love it when Patti's onstage with another powerhouse female, b/c she's always so happy when they sing...then she shuts them down.

[smittied72]

isn't that tanya blount

[DaEnviedOne]

I love it also. I would love to see Patti sing another song with Jennifer Hudson. They did it on Pattis bday in Washington DC at the Night Club LOVE and Jennifer sung " One Night Only" and Patti joined in with the notes...and LORD did they blow..Patti and another powerhouse like that or J Holiday or A Franklin would be something.

[bambam704]

lol...shut em' down...lol,lol...you aint never lying!!!1

[cinqoctaves]

When did pattie outsing tanya, sorry I just can't ear when she outsing her, Tanya has an amazing voice.

[losing150]

RIP Gerald. You big,sexy teddybear!

[lex1eleven]

why was that girl trying to out sing patti? well its koo cuz patti show'd her wussup at the end!

[AgentReid007]

Patti did not say wussup, Tanya did not out sing Patti but Tanya pretty much almost matched it.

[kindacute06]

yes she did barely anyone can out sing patti

but patti cleares the show att the end like allwase

[mylenh]

F all the thumbs down, i think the same, she even sounds a lil like patti on one note she hit

[dawkins1970]

one of the greatest performaces of all times. it is hard to sing a soulful song live.

[xTriiCkstahx]

I hearrrd that! thats got to be one of the best performances I've eva seen. lol. I memba when I first watched it! damn! i aint know it was sooo long ago though! damn!

[Audiophile93]

I think the only way you can sing a soulful song is live.:) It is in no case easy to sing any soulful song but in the studio you can't give any soulful song justice because you can't bare your soul like you can live. This guys killed it amazing!

[MalaikaDipita]

just amazing !

[QJBDALLAS]

Patti is AWESOME, and to be that BEAUTIFUL AND EVEN NOW AT 60 she still looks the SAME!!!,,,OMG PATTI IS MY GIRL!!!!!

[mylenh]

63*

[revenuesharing]

Patti is an inspiration for me to get my act together and get my grown and sexy on. Her voice is awesome and she gets prettier and sexier the older she gets. Women don't have to go down hill just because they get older. They can get better and better. Like fine wine.

[pheonixphire]

patti got some great legs

[DonDiva4u03]

Tonya sang her face off. After singing that movie Sister Act 2 I thought Lauryn was the better singer. Honey Tonya would have blew her out the waters! Patti LaBelle Honey Is the Queen and she will let you look cute for a minute and then she going to give you a note that says " Ok honey Step aside".

[d2197v]

hahah you had me laughing but is so true...

[tumidme]

Lol that was funny..."ok honey step aside"

[NoSuchThingAsTrinity]

I know thats right. THat high note. Got me jumping.

[midnitehour]

OMG at 1:00 Tanya sounds EXACTLY like Patti. This was nice performance. A bit too much yelling but i enjoyed it.

[LaBelle63]

i know

[leeantony]

I love Tanya Blount. Where are you?

[Big14OB]

child they uis up there sanging like they in church..u hear me

[butzer84]

Always amazing, Gerald Levert. RIP.

Look at tanya trying to outshow patti - singing "just like her" - as best she could...

and then Patti had to let her know.

[midnitehour]

Tonya did well, i thought she over-did it in parts but i prolly wuda done the same if i was on the stage with Patti. For those of you that are wandering what happened to her, she got a deal with BadBoy and put out an album...which flopped. She is now doing Gospel music...she has a myspace too.

[Screenedit]

To tell you the truth, Patti shut them all down at 4:02-4:10 they couldn't do anything HAHAHA. When patti sings my heart starts to beat fast and i break out in a sweat she hypes me up lol.

[Screenedit]

I play 4:02-05 point over and over because i enjoyed how patti made her voice heard.

[mylenh]

was eddie looking for lyrics?

[chandiggy]

Yes he really was reading that teleprompter and still didnt know the words. Ha ha

[poppapoppas03]

I was gone say! Patti and Eddie were reading the words, but see they old pros they can change the words and still keep the melody.LOL!

[Screenedit]

Did you guys here patti labelle at the 4:02-04 point? her voice soared in a way i never heard before, she had to go real loud like that to be heard over gerald at the time.

[decesdee]

I love this clip. I taped it when it first aired. I miss this performance

[Ruffends]

Da dream team.....just brilliant! R.I.P Gerald Levert. The soulful voice of The O'Jays...Mr Eddie Levert. Love the father and son thang. Patti and Tanya...u dun said all. Wow!

[moneymike17]

punch em Tanya only singer who could keep up with Patti except JHud.

[CKB1987]

RIP Gerald

[CKB1987]

Tanya can get up high in her whistle register but she cannot hold her notes like Miss Labelle and nobody can get a chest note and hold it like Patti

[caramel38]

i find it interesting that theres even a debate going on here.lol...wow. geesh people. i remember watching this when it first aired...4 singers sang'n their butts off. end of story. i do believe tanya was 1 of puff daddys first artist way back when. too bad she didnt blow up. thanx 4 posting

[brucehopson2000]

I'm mad about Tanya coming in on Patti's note too at 2:47. You just don't do that. That's why Patti shut it down.

[DaEnviedOne]

hahaha but she showed out at 03:57..lol..

[monet24atl]

lol..ummm i think it was planned that way , thats what it sounds like, i dont think it was as smooth of a blend or mix as they had hope for, but they all did well

[brucehopson2000]

There is not enough room on the stage for Tonya and Patti. Tonya would have to go.

[marbie83]

i would've loved to see patti and gerald sing this! i think that would be a better match. they have more energy in their voices and aren't afraid to belt out those notes that make you feel it deep down to the tip of your toes! SING THE SONG!!

[blkzuri]

now we all know patti labelle made everybody on that stage sing that night so we know ms.tanya had to give it her all. patti(my heart)let her have her moment but also let tanya know with that last note baby girl dont come for me cause i will shut this thing down!!!

[Phillylima]

now this is a performance people dont know how to have performances these days. There was no flashy dancing (Michael Jackson isnt included in this group) no big fireworks just four people who can sing on stage giving it their all. Some of todays performers could take a few lessons on stage presence from any of these four.

[youngfoxfan]

OMG!!! this is CRAZY!!!! TANYA went IN!! she hung with patti to the very end.. i dont think she was trying to out sing Patti, but she can BLOW! i LOVE her!!!

[AER1985]

THANK YOU!. people need to give tanya her props because she did what many legends cant do and that is hang in there with hurricane patti. tanya knew to eat her wheaties cuz she know patti is going for the KO in the first round! (lol)

[oneazariah]

I agree.  Tanya sounded amazing. She was clearly a Patti fan before she set foot on that stage. I don't think she TRIED to sound like her at all, she just does.

[ReddzVoice]

I totally agree!

[DaEnviedOne]

Tonya has a great voice hands down. I don't think she was trying to outdo Patti because i believe she knows she wouldnt be able to..lol...But My Patti My Patti brought the song on home...LOVE 03:12..that dang note.

[BIGTONY07]

Lol Tanya does try to sing like Patti in some parts. Ha ha, Tanya? There's only one Patti Labelle darling.

[Sc0rpion]

Please say that again!!

[msbrit89]

Patti LaBelle did the BEST and wasn't really even trying lol! Tonya was trying to outdo Patti and didn't succeed. Gerald Levert-Rest In Peace-SANG well also!

[DaEnviedOne]

PATTTTTTTTTTTTI!

[lb33169]

This is an awesome performance. Patti does an excellent job as well as the others. Gerald L. RIP. Where is Tonya nowadays?

[jazzbrats]

Tanya was trying too hard to be Patti. Gerald yells too much. It would have been ace if it was just Eddie and Pattie. Great vid though.

[brucehopson2000]

Why are my posts not being posted? Anyway. Tanya is wrong for cutting in on Patti's note at 2:47. She knows that's a Patti note and movement at :57 and 1:28. Yea she was trying too hard. That's why Patti had to shut it DOWN.
