Pattie is a soul singer and Shirley Bassey is more of a ballad singer. Both have a great style of singing but very difficult to compare two artists singing the same songs but in different styles
Both are larger than life Divas & excellent entertainers. Saw them both live. There singing style is different, so I think none of them is better, it's a matter of personal taste. I love them both
You cannot compare thesel both extremely powerful singers .one dramatic soprano 1 dramatic Mezzo soprano . Patti LaBelle fanatic here. Dame Shirley Bassey is not to be played with as well. these are both forces that should not be reckoned with from two opposites . one from the west and one from the East
Let history reflect the true awesomeness of God's magnificent gift giving. Both were blessed with multidimensional voices capable of invoking a myriad of emotions from their listeners. They both can cover a song and own it. Thanks for youtube so the world can appreciate their greatness.
Love Shirley and-Patti !!!! Different styles but they are Both powerful, masterful and truly a gift from the Almighty...... Patti's spiritual soulful voice will soar you to the Heavens which will carry you and last emotionally...... long after the concert is over...... Shirley's voice is obviously big stunning and impressive she sings the ballad straight out.... However I hear the angels when Patti sings......
Both ladies are magnificent singers and performers as well..I have seen both in concert live and as both are very effected in their style and delivery it is not an easy choice..However in the end I would have to say Dame Shirley is the more skilled vocalist and has just a slight edge in her mastery of her craft..All Dame wannabee's stand back and bow low before the original and finest Diva of them all..Dame Shirley Bassey..I would recommend watching her live concert from Cardiff from 1993..Truly Bassey at her best!
A better vocal match for Dame Shirley would be the Empress of Soul, Gladys Knight. Patti is great in her own right, but not Shirley Bassey level. Gladys is better suited, in my opinion.
Patti's style doesn't appeal to me especially but I appreciate the artistry and some of her performances. Have seen Dame Shirley in concert 3 times over a period of 10 years, always stunning. Can, and do, listen to her for hours at a time. To me, and many, a rare treasure.
Gah' damn vocal beast the two of them. Both singers are phenomenal in their respected genres. And both can move you in different ways. This depends on which kind of music one likes the most.
When Patty sings She uses too many vocal exercises and it's hard to hear the melody, whereas you can always hear the melody with Shirley so for me Shirley wins
Where's the Martin Luther King performance , Motown Apollo,, Oh People holiday special with the gospel choir , Patti song selecten is Rigg in picking vocal performances yes miss Bassy got tone and powder but she can't run Patti LaBelle off a stage ,they are both tuff bonafide magnificent glorious singing show stoppers, #theworldcantlivebyonedivaalone
Shirley doesn't need all the vocal gymnastics and fakery, she just sings the song as the composer intended, singing the tune and letting the listener hear every word. Amazing Dame Shirley.
They are both very good & I'm sure they both recognize that about each other. I've seen Patti in concert & her voice honestly brought the entire audience of every color to tears 💓
Two sweet ladies with different styles and technics .... patti is more in that twanging mixed voice masked singing .... while mama Shirley bassey is an open throat via out her range ..... you can feel that her voice comes from a hole or horn while patti lacks it ........ but loves both
Gladys knight Pattie LaBelle Dionne Warwick Tina Turner Miss Diva herself Miss Diana Ross oh my Gawd I love these women eternally spectacular ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉 Butt the Great Dame Dame of Music The one and only Shirley Bassey that's a different standard of singing the kind tht rules the music industry the epitome of music master class magnificent who is worthy of all her accolades ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉 The Best
Patti's hooting and hollering give me a headache. Love her, but can't listen to her for more than 5 minutes. Dame's more controlled and sings prettier.
Bassey is the consumate stylist - she paces the dynamics of her shows perfectly. On this showing at least I wouldn't want to sit through a whole LaBelle gig. Enough with the histrionics!
shirley bassey.....es de otra dimension..................y poder.............abrasador........................que lo llena todo.................................y la comparacion es innecesaria.................................y sin sentido..............................
Wouldn't say she is better and more skilled. Just signs different with different emphasis and style. To say Patti is not skilled means you dont know Patti.
Patti has proven that's she can definitely sing over a full orchestra and has done so many times. That is no problem for her. The both have big dramatic voices. Shirley just emphasizes her voice very differently.
N Esq That’s not it at all 😂😂 Patti’s great but it’s a completely different style, her voice is very powerful in an emotive, soulful way but she doesn’t have the same raw power and volume to fill a room the same way Shirley does with a full orchestra.
@@crazycatpetera1404 u just dont understand.. PATTI OUTSINGS MOST AND PATTI CAN BE WAY MORE POWERFUL THAN.. DAME she oversang many shirley bassey just it in a different way than patti
@@crazycatpetera1404 The voice of bassey is more powerful than patti but when it comes to range patti succeeds in that and given the chance might out sing dame bassey
What a big difference between these two ladies!! Patti makes me nervous with all her shouting, she becomes boring after a few songs and misses the class and stage presence of the one and only dame Shirley Bassey!!
Patti has much class and stage presence, that's why she still in the game. It's crazy how comparing 2 great artists we can minimize another as if they are not great /outstanding in a particular characteristic
