[MahoganyMystery]

Patti always gives me chill bumps. Even as a child! Her singing is a gift from GOD

[lyly3753]

Patti Labelle is the best!!!

[snoopydog48us]

No One Sings this Song like Patti. No One!!

[latinsinger18]

dale Patti!!!! tenes una voz unica y maravillosa!!!!

[TheSifu02120]

can't post on simplypatti so please post for me. will reitterate in future if possible. Just wanted to say being a patty (different spelling) myself, I can closely appreciate Ms. Labelle's talent She is not a voice to be recond with. Personnally, there will never b another Patti, but Whitney, Mary & Christina r trying 2 eep the legacy alive.

[BraveClarice]

This song holds all the pain and joy I felt today when I buried my husband its salvation and comfort together God gave us music so we can pray without words he gave us patti as the instrument God Bless Patti La Belle

[ZestyLemonBoi]

One of my favourite songs!!!!

[goodmusic03]

i can't wait for her to meet kadejah One... I cant wait... 2010 her we come.

[slickjilly]

When you hear that voice, you know you are hearing something so powerful and special. Her voice makes me cry, but not in a sad way. She is something. That big voice comes outta there, and it's as if her body can't contain it. WOW I had the good fortune to see her live, and I'll never forget it. I love Patti Labelle.

[punchi47]

I love this woman, she is just awesome. I got a chance to see her in person and she's dynamic, best in this life time that we'll ever have. Can you say DIVA.

[punchi47]

gotta love her. The DIVA reigns

[LittleJ1576]

LUCKY LITTLE BOY!!!!!!

[elmercarolyn1]

I just love Patti..I love the way she is fixing her hair and clothes while she is effortlessly singing.LOL! .She is a true talent!!!!

[nxtlegnd]

3:14, pure talent and with so much ease. It just goes to say Patti is so much more than a singer.

[flyingscotsman1000]

WOW ! Someday Patti will be singing Lead in the Lord's choir. Thank you Lord for the warm-ups.

[jay5003]

The Grand DIVA is on stage so you so called divas take notes you dont have to be half naked or have a computer enhanced vocals or backup singers that probably should be out front and you call yourselves divas i dont think so Miss Patti is a True Diva!!!!

[joyfeline]

She was my brother who died a year in a half ago, she was his favorite. He made me a fan of hers, now everytime I hear her voice I can see his smile. I go to her concert to feel his presence. Thank you Patti, thank you.

[xenaphonj]

OH MY GAWD!!Shes wearing a robe fit for the QUEEN she is!!FABULOUS!!!This was the same year i saw her and she sat me down on stage&sang 2 me then we slow danced!!One of the highlights of my life,I LUV U PATTI!!!!!

[pfeld]

Not only can she sing better than anyone on the planet, but she also puts on a show that makes "the queen of soul" look like a stiff.

[larryjackson4125]

that is so true... LOL

[beingaroe]

good!

[agaddz]

oh shit! I am having troubles with my speakers! She destroyed them!

[Treasures4Food]

Sometimes it seems like the microphone and the stage are just not big enough for all of her fantastic Patti-ness.

[Freedomispeace1]

There is no doubt she is the best belter ever shes not the best singer but very close.

[bellosardo84]

wowowowowowowowowow i'm speechless

[mookindahouse]

Patti and Judy Garland are the only two people that do this song justice.

[karamelme]

ive cried so many times like right now watching this video "somewhere over the rainbow" and " my fave "you are my friend" when she was at the apollo....her voice just touch HOME

[Shaper85]

The part where she sings 'over' at 5:23 reminds me of the 90's for some reason. Maybe because it sounds like 90's trance. Its amazing what she does with her voice!

[ste4757]

[gregryles007]

~TANYA~

[trinidangerpuppy]

What a powerhouse!

Thank God for you!

[loopy77]

Whoo! What's this late 80s, early 90s big-boned Patti vision of lovliness I see....

[devilzzz999]

How come the singers of today, can't touch the singers of yesterday. They make the new singers of today look so fake. And of course

most of them are.

[borntalented]

I thought Judy Garland did great with this song for Wizard of Oz. But Patti turned this song into a heartfelt ballad that just pierces your soul. I never thought this song from Wizard of Oz would give me goosebumps & tears to my eyes. I love Patti.

[avaliyk]

DAMN!! I love Patti's voice. She is the queen of belting and conveying emotions to her audience! Great!!

[TheBoneRanger1968]

I have had the blessing of seeing Patti many times and she never fails to bring it with all she has.

Patti, we love you with all our hearts.

[luvcooley]

patti brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear her voice

[avaliyk]

AMAZING!!! She's absolutely fantastic!!! Gives me chills!

[cirej25]

wow! i think shes better than aretha when it comes to belting... much better.

[czahair]

yes patti is in the april 2006 guiness book of world records for having the loudest besting note. go patti

[johndega]

I'm a total and devoted fan of Patti's. That doesn't mean I can't dig Aretha and her great talent. They are BOTH great singers, tho different. I see no reason to compare them.

[anthonykeithjohnson3]

have you watched the Patti tribute to Aretha, when she is sanging it Aint no way? If you watch Aretha's expression on her face it says so much, of how she feels that Patti was sanging her song, I mean a Positive way, they both respects each others so much!

[marciekitchen]

First of all, MS. PATTI LABELLE is the greatest musical creation ever. and I love her band director. He fit with Patti so good. This was a great!

[VictoryWaters]

And kept singing all the way back to the dressing room! That's not only talent but a true love and devotion to her fans! God gave her a talent and she is one person who uses it with all the gusto she has from the depths of her soul! I know she is exhausted when she is done. Today's entertainers need to take a true page from her book! She's exhausted and she wasn't even dancing! LOL... This is talent where the frills are her vocal cords - this is true singing.

[crazyhyena]

god! Patti! Patti!

[niptuck101]

I bet you some guy in the front row thought Patti was going to take her jacket off at 1:36. Then she gave a look like "PSYCH!" and pulled it closer together lmao!

[niptuck101]

I'm going to say what I always say when she performs like this..."Patti freaked this song. She freaked it reaaal good, and didn't bother to call it the next day."

[Lyyrix]

LOVE PATTI

...always hated shoulder pads...lol!

[edouble78]

Lol, you know the 80's and early 90's was should pad mania!

[ava1016]

I agree..No one is better than Patti singing that song. She really does send chills up your spine. I'm 56 so I remember when the Wizard of Oz first came on TV. I thought Judy Garland did a good job. But Pattie is out of this world..When you think of this song now..YOu think Patti.

[Zandi5]

does any one know if there will be a Labelle reunion?

[RJAMIEL]

its one right now

[gingerjenn38]

Patti, always the greatest..shes the pot of gold over the rainbow!!

[u2jelus]

patti bombshell labelle!!!!!

[rhomp2002]

Other than Judy Garland who totally owns this song, Patti is pretty good. Nobody though can top Judy on this one - ever. I saw her in person many years ago and the most amazing performer I ever saw.

Patti Labelle is the best of the soul singers for my taste. She tops Gladys, Aretha and Dionne any day.

[shinjitsu85]

Ummm.... Patti LaBelle takes the top place when it comes to that song. She outdoes EVERYONE!!!

[mrduragss]

I disagree with your judy garland statement. Israel Kamakawiwo'oles version of somewhere over the rainbow is a thousand times better

[torrific1]

I just viewed "Israel Kamakawiwo'oles" version. They played it a long time ago on the Country Time Lemonade comerical (LOL).

Patti's on a WHOLE new level with this one!

[UrLvr4Lf]

I agree 1000%

[LIGHTEYELADY]

I DONT THINK SO PATTI ALREADY DID

[anthonykeithjohnson3]

LMAO

[mykel58]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[gangstashytt]

CHILLS! THATS ALL I CAN SAY.

[andre102786]

patti you are the real deal, vocal cords of steal

[ikom35]

lol! noone else could reach those high notes except patti.

[jeffacimaj]

Superb!

[titofagbenle]

when she does that flick at 3.50

my days....wot a queen

[cd81]

The one thing that always got me about Patti's shows was when Budd Ellison was her MD. She would sing the roof off the place and he would know how to follow. Even in this video, he knew when she wasn't ready to stop and when she was!

[taysdad45]

5:14 = the luckiest kid in the world. Great performance

[solredoc]

what can i say? 5 star fav video.

[singsationalronnie]

....What more can i say...PATTI IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME...AND BUDD BUDD BUDD ELLISON...AWESOME AWESOME...AND SHE STILL IS THE BADDEST FEMALE SINGER

[ronk22000]

Patti is the best LOVE HER

[Abbyronn]

One of a kind

[branDIVO91]

i luv patti!

[PoetJC]

This performance is simply AMAZING! Brought tears to my eyes - The power of MS. PATTI LABELLE!

Jacquii.

[123poochi]

Patti has inspired many young female impersonators and if you can't do Patti, you are not a star yet. Truly the landmark for any diva queen!

[darcellbios]

that where you will find me patti

[johnmarc990z]

some let this women go over the rainbow please .... lol...... I meet u there

[angelusmaori]

SHE'S A ROCKSTAR!!! LOL!

[angelusmaori]

SHE'S A ROCKSTAR!!! LOL!

[wenyiyang]

Did she break any glasses? I quite sure she did.

[will3913]

i love this video when she spin around

[PATTISBEST]

SIMPLY AMAZING

[righteously]

I love the fun Patti has with this song. Somehow I feel Patti should be much more widely celebrated than she is. America whould be very proud of her. To me she seems to be the very apex of Gospel-rooted soul music. Her confidence, extremity, and that VOICE puts her completely in a league all her own. And this is a magnificent performance. Bod Bless you Patti. Keep it coming.

[righteously]

OH MY GOODNESS! Untoppable. Patti is so powerful and so wonderfully playful and extreme in her interpretations. If you have a voice like that you've got to flaunt it haven't you! I love Tina, and Aretha, but I do feel that Patti is far less widely celebrated than she ought to be. She really is an amazing talent on the stage. God Bless You Patti.

[hbone06]

Pamela Williams blowing the hell out of that saxophone

[bidonpenn]

WOW! What a voice!!!!!

[patrickarrogante]

WOW.............

[fairydust3250]

SO many have tried to imitate Patti's version of this song (Kayla for instance) but no one can touch the way Patti blows this song out of the water.

[Blessed247365]

can anyone make out what the background singers are saying after patti hits her signiture note on " Somewhere over the rainbow" starting at 3:31??

[singerboi]

I think I broke my computer...I threw my shoe at it at 1:55. AMAZING. Thank you Patti

[texkin]

..she's magic.!!!!!!!

[whatever1985]

WOW!! WOW!! She is amazing..! She blew me awAYY!! She makes it look so effortless...
