Two of my favorites from ABC were "Come On Along with ABC" and the first "Something's Happening on ABC". My vote for the sappiest is "That Special Feeling on ABC."
😂 been coming back to Got2BeReal / LaBelleOfTheBall2 since 2011. 👑 Did any of these singers comment on these genius vids? 👑 Patti vs Aretha especially 😂U know the celebs laughed despite themselves 👑brilliance from reads to edits. 👑guaranteed to de-stress. 👑💜Thank you again for uploading
Kelly Ripa: When I say I was so shocked not seeing you [Fantasia] at the BET Awards [to tribute Aretha], I mean that. Fantasia: When I mean that you didn’t have to say that, Kelly, I mean that. You shouldn’t have said that, because it really hurt me that I wasn’t there, and that people didn’t care. They didn’t even look for me. I was just gone, and nobody cared! It hurt my… feelings. And it hurt, because… I knew that she was hurtin’ more, because I wasn’t there for her, and to sing to her. And I just.. you know, I’m like a daughter to her, and I knew she was mad, ‘cause she ain’t call me. She didn’t tweet me, she didn’t text me, you know?! She didn’t Skype me or… ubu, or whatever she had, she didn’t do it! You know how somebody’s supposed to keep in touch with you, when they love you, and you love them back? But she ain’t touched me. At all. And I just… hope that she knows that I love her, and I’m always gonna be there for her, except for…that day. ☠️
Fantasia red carpet interview: Ahhh, Patti’s gettin’ a lifetime achievement?! Ah haha, yessss bitch. Um… I’m so happy for her. She needs this award, really bad, like _legitimatarily_ …um, for me, imma turn this stage out. You can believe that. Imma get on that stage. Imma make people bawl, believe me! Look at my bangs! I am so serious. Interviewer: BET didn’t say you were performing Fantasia: Yeah, I know BET ain’t _confirmize_ it yet, but I’m just gonna go ahead and say I’m gonna perform for Patti, because Aretha said no, but…um, it make me no nevermind make me nothin’! I don’t care! I’m gonna do whatever. Interview: Are you even invited? Fantasia: I KNOW I’m invited to the BET Awards, thank you very much. Behind her: No she won’t, no she won’t! 😂
Well over a decade later, "Turning New Balances into Old Unstables" remains the read of a lifetime. A Postmodern parody show SO popular the celebs themselves were aware of it. Bravo, Patti LaHelle is a genius.
