@oprahdiva; 100% agreed, I was so disappointed in the tribute to Prince and I was soo looking forward to it, Prince is 1 of my favorites and the tribute was kinda tacky to me : (
this is a tribute...what they did for Anita Baker the other night on the Soul Train Awards is a TRIBUTE (i've watched that 1000+ times lol) I'm still amazed
I Love to watch Patti, enjoying others singing to her, speaks volumes of what a CLASS act she truly is... one of the BEST and you can't get no better than Peabo Bryson one of the SEXIEST voices in music there ever was, and the others singing here... NICE!
This is an amazing tribute...Rachelle put in about 80% of her talent....Tamia held back to...but for the minimum effort put in...this was beyond amazing...you can really feel the details when they sing...it makes me wanna cry cause the art in this tribute is amazing. Wish PRINCE had this for his honor on the BET awards
Who the he'll complained about Rachelle cutting loose as much as Ms. Patti cuts loose on every song she sings? Get over it! She like Patti has distinctive vocal style and range. Not everyone is Beyonce!!!!!
Undoubtedly Rachelle's singing talent is sooo underrated..but for all of those on stage it must have felt like sheer heaven to be giving Patti truly what she deserved...Just look at the admiration written on her face.
You can have all the power in the world but put Ron Isley on that stage and he will take that song. He's a song stylist...anything he sings becomes his. The crowd roars when he hits the stage cause they love him.
@RichieInfinity Rachelle Ferrell, Majorly underground...RIDICULOUSLY large range and amazing control. She doesnt get airtime because she isn't easily marketable.
Bitches Ya'll can't get mad...if she sucks she sucks...she got fuckin' nerves shit how ya'll gonna get mad because I stated my opinion....I'm not saying she can't sing she did the song well but she did to much in it and it was unnecessary to do all those runs and skatting in such a beautiful song...which takes the beauty out of the song you didn't see everyone else doing that in the song...
tania missed her note... she should have taken it on home....LOL

Rachelle held back, but I think Ms. Patti would not have mind if she had put more holler in there.
