Still watching in 2022! This performance is electric. Fantasia tore that song up. Mama Patti getting the Holy Ghost, and Kobe's expression at the end tells it all. 💛
I was on drums that night. She stole the show!!! I mean goose bumps!!! We couldn’t continue for a while because they wouldn’t stop clapping. It was crazy!!!!
Yeah, anyone in the audience who suspected this was some American-Idol-amateur-creation not a real pro had a change of heart fast. This was an epic showcase of singing prowess.
So it’s 2023 and I’m still watching this video at least twice a week. Fantasia has God given talent and you can’t help but love and appreciate her voice. This performance and the tribute that she sang You Are My Friend are in constant rotation. I feel like they asked Patti who do you want to do your tribute and she said Fantasia. Then they said who else and she said I told you Fantasia. 😂. Fantasia is a force of nature and no one, I mean no one can touch her. That’s what you call flat foot sangin 😂
She had that entire audience on their feet, just like James Brown you can’t sit still when she performs. She nailed it and I have never seen or heard anyone perform this song like this, yessss😅😃
Yes, and let's give props to the songwriter Kenny Nolan, the same guy who wrote the classic "I like dreamin''". He said "Lady Marmalade" was based on a dream he had too.
@@TaurusTime123 I never said he didn't, Capt. Snarky. I said, "Yes, and let's give props to the songwriter Kenny Nolan." I said 'yes' in agreement on the performance and mentioned something in addition with my 'and'. Perfectly valid comment. And your use of all cap's was rude too. Without the songwriter, what would they have to 'perform', idiot? The fact that you object to giving him 'props' too is also revealing of your bad heart and manner.
I’ll never forget somebody said she looked like she was about to fly away when this first aired 😂. Fantasia killed it as usual, but I always stop to watch this for Patti’s reaction. That’s pure joy right there
This never gets old to me. Fantasia is FAB! She even rocked Ms Patti with the Holy Ghost :) Have watched this 100 times but the energy is addictive. Keep going Fanny!!!!
Fantasia gonna give you her soul when she perform. She gives and leaves it all on the stage. When she danced up to Patti and they started bouncing. I got chills and was like. Gone girl.
Fantasia is the only young woman of this generation who can play the incomparable and legendary Patti LaBelle in a movie. It's time to honor the greatest of singers with a movie.
I can't even count how many times I watched this. It mesmerizes me everytime like it's the first. I beam seeing Patti enjoy someone else sing her song and she enjoy it so very much. I also marvel how she can scream/growl like that and not get a head ache. Lol I also love Patti flapping like a bird. And that last note is outta this world!
I loved at the end when Fantasia was able to see everybody standing and clapping for her ❤ It's 2024 and I still watch this everyday... This is my favorite Patti LaBelle song
I have watched this a million times and it never gets old. In my granny voice she a sanging fool lol I absolutely love everything about her! She never disappoints
2023 and I still find myself coming back just to watch this performance. Fantasia’s voice gives me chills and her overall stage presence definitely makes her unforgettable!
Patti is being honoured at this year’s Kennedy Awards and there usually is a performer paying tribute to the recipient; no better person to do Ms. Patti’s tribute than FANTASIA herself and this performance proves my point!
It must be an honor to grow up listening to Patti Labelle and being able to sing Lady Marmalade to Patti. Fantasia took this song to another level. Bravo!!!
Here it is the beginning of 2024 and I STILL can't get enough of this performance. BAYBEE Fanny understood every bit of the assignment! This Queen is truly amazing!
Am I the only person obsessed with watching this lady perform tributes 😩😩 she makes me sick !!!omg I almost had a heart attack with this one ☝️ gotta love Fantasia 🥰
Still watching in 2023! I watched this sooo many times. Fantasia burned that entire stage down, sang her entire face off, & snatched everybody's wig, edges, & eye lashes. Then had the audacity to end on a perfectly executed high note. Fantasia did not come to play! Chile...👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This is STILL one of the BEST LIVE TRIBUTES to an ARTIST. The way Fantasia DEVOURED this song STILL makes no sense. I swear I’ve watched this at least once year since it was originally posted!!!
Attention everybody don't miss Fantasia starring as Celie in the Color Purple musical movie which will be in theaters worldwide Christmas Day tickets 💜
Whenever it’s time for Patti Labelle to do her biopic, if Fantasia isn’t playing her, I AINT WATCHING IT!!!!! She ate this performance and left no scraps!
Fantasia. Epic statement. Not a bead of sweat on her face either after crushing the song with feeling and expression and the struts and pauses. This was a masterclass on live vocal performance. Even going into the crowd and mingling all the while. Not touch of nerves or stage fright either. Wow.
The 10 reasons I keep coming back to this performance: 0:20 strong start 1:38 but sis, you did the big note already where are you gonna go from here??? Silly me!!! 1:59 Patti matching the energy 2:10 Patti imbuing Fantasia with strength, Fantasia knows she GOTTA show out now 2:13 and shown. How she is even remembering the lyrics right now is beyond me. 2:46 Good LORDt 3:03 missed the cue so she fucking CHEWED IT!! Omg bish yaaaaas 3:16 butchering the French in gospel-ese 3:28 range 3:37 Patti can't take much more 3:55 can an assignment be anymore understood?? I think that's eleven
Fantasia Barrino-Taylor.....WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?!?!?!?! HOW DARE YOU GET UP THERE, OUT SAAAANG PATTI LABELLE OUT OF HER OWN SONG & MAKE EVERYONE IN THAT ROOM SHOUT LIKE THAT!!!!! HOW DARE YOU FANTASIA
That 3:03 moment can not be taught! Her and Ricky have a special musical connection. He be prepared for her shenanigans. Notice how he just spint it and gave 50 more seconds? Ricky Minor and the band make magic with Fantasia.
Let me tell yall something that should be a no brainer...this is one of thee best live performances given EVER! There are few who SHOW UP and SHOW OUT during awards and tributes performances and Fantasia is top tier for that.
Like Fantasia Barrino-Taylor.....WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!?!?! LIKE LITERALLY HOW DARE YOU.... JUST HOW DARE YOU!?!?!?!?!?! HOW DARE YOU GET UP THERE, OUT SAAAANG PATTI LABELLE OUT OF HER OWN SONG & MAKE EVERYONE IN THAT ROOM SHOUT LIKE THAT!!!!! HOW DARE YOU FANTASIA
When it’s time to do a tribute to this young woman she’ll have to do it herself 🤷♀️ unmatched in the music 🎵 game Still watching in 2023 Patti was about to fly she felt that performance deep!!!!!
Still hands down the BEST I’ve ever heard anyone sing this song! That’s why Fantasia is always the one to cover songs in honor of legends cos she can really do it justice!
I don't care what nobody say about that girl but Fanny can saaaaaaaaaaang got damn it!!!! OMG she blew them away and even Patti could not keep it together. I'm DEAD @ this performance.
Fantasia raw gifted got so much natural swag NOT manufactured and owns the stage by herself. She dont need a bunch of dancers and alot of hoopla to entertain us. She is phenomenal all on her own.
Patti put her hands on Fantasia and mouthed, my baby! That tells you something about Fantasia! When two singers can give you church goose bumps no matter what year, they outta this world! We still rewatching in 2022?!!!! Patti and Fantasia should be more recognized then they are…
