crap

[MisterCrazyLegs]

it just hit me....my favorite female singer (ie: Patti LaBelle), sounds A LOT like Ethel Merman. Kinda funny...but if you've ever heard Ethel, you'll hear Patti.

@darkebony ...she's just older....the voice is older. It happens to the best of them. i used to think it happened for some other reason besides 'age'. The human voice just can't hit those notes she hit when she was 25-40, at age 60 plus. Same with Aretha, Chaka, Jennifer Holliday. And Ive noticed that the 'change in pitch' is something that seems to 'attack' sopranos faster than altos. But she has a knack for covering it up a little bit, where you dont obsess about her loss of range.

@cashmire1 I know, it just hurts me to see what the last ten years had done to her, she slides on stage in the 5 inch pumps it looks almost unsafe for her, trust me if anyone is in her corner she knows that it would be me.Ive known her since 1966 , When I first met Patti I knew she would be a star, but she really did not know how to use her voice and look what happend latter,one of the biggest stars in show business and I was there to see it happen for her!

@numonemofan I have already had this converstation with the poster. ur feed back is not needed. thank u

[numonemofan]

@cashmire1 wow youll really ask for ALOT. This is 23 years old, it was probably recorded on VHS then uploaded to the internet, that was a lot of transferring. You cant expect HD recording for something that was filmed before the internet was recording. If its barely audible for you, i suggest upgrading you speakers, cuz if you using built in speakers are regular computer speakers you cant adjust the volume high enough

[numonemofan]

@darkebony you realize that Patti is human right? Its sad and unfortunate, but its LIFE my dear. You cant expect a 66 year old to do the same things they could do when they were 40, or 20. Singing takes alot of breath and lung capacity, I mean thats why people can't run like they can when there younger, because they have shorter breath. That affects singing, and its just natural aging.
