[.ca] Patti Live

From Amazon.com:
This double CD does as good a job of capturing the full-throated, shoe-tossing glory of a Patti LaBelle show as any recording could. Its success as a home-listening experience, however, is diminished by the explosive vocal runs that the singer insists on tossing into every song, whether appropriate or not. Smartly programmed, the album offers a first disc that leans heavily on LaBelle's signature pieces ("New Attitude," "You Are My Friend") and a second that pays homage to Sam Cooke ("A Change Is Gonna Come"), Ashford and Simpson (a duet with O'Jay Eddie Levert on "Is It Still Good to You"), and the Cheryl Lynn disco classic "Got to Be Real" (with another guest, Mariah Carey). Probably a must for fans but a pass for those who haven't already followed her for years. --Rickey Wright

YOU'LL LOVE THIS CD!:
I MUST SAY,PATTI WAS GREAT IN THIS CD.ORDER IT SEE FOR YOURSELF!

PATTI ROCKS ON THIS ONE!:
I've believed for a while now that if I was stuck on a desert island, and had only one CD set to bring along, all I'd need is Patti LaBelle's Live! One Night Only. It's as if I'll never get enough of this masterpiece of a live performance. Upon hearing the CD, I became a fan, and no one's voice in my 21 years has touched my soul the way such tracks as "You Are My Friend" and "Change is Gonna Come" have. If Patti simply released live recording after live recording for the rest of her career, I will be one happy young man. So deeply am I inspired by Patti's sheer artistry that New Year's Eve last, I chose to have my own "countdown" with Patti--with my earphones on, I welcomed to my heart Patti's "I Believe" in hopes that it would have an effect on my singing soul for the remainder of the year. It has done that tremendously. Pick this one up, and be inspired over and over again!

Live! One night Only - Patti at her best:
OK this is a must have for any true Patti Fan, along with the Cd, the video is a must have. This is Patti at her best. From the breath taking opening "I believe", you know Patti is ready to give her all like only she can do. "When You Talk About Love" is just funky. "Is it still good to you" gives me the chills. "Don't make me over"- WOW!! not to mention "If You Love Me". There are some many moments on this Cd that show Patti as the true Legend she is. Her interpretation and phrasing is unique and her power is too good to be true. Although you can find better live versions of "If You Asked Me To", "New Attitude" and "On My Own" on earlier live recordings and videos, this Cd and video is a must have. Patti is one of the best entertainers and she is at her best on this recording. One can't help admire her energy, the chemistry with her fans, and her ability to take a song to new heights. When you hear her sing, you know it is from the heart and it is always done with much style and technique that most singers could only wish for. She blows every performer from Mariah to Whitney out of the water. Patti has got some serious talent and everyone should experience a Patti Labelle concert at least once.

Diva Incarnate:
I have been a Patti Labelle fan since 1972 when she unleashed the hit single, "You Are My Friend". This live album, Live! One Night Only is her best to date. When I saw the live PBS special, after all these years, I was still amazed at her vocal range and her ability to command the stage. I belive this is classic Patti. The vocals are flawless and mesmerizing to the listener. I sang at an 1989 concert with her and she is as caring and real as this concert displays. I thought she couldn't do "If You Love Me?" any better or with any more passion. I felt God there. This rendetion brought tears to my eyes and delight to my ears. She moves into your heart like a warm embrace that makes you feel safe, loved, electrified and free. Her redition on this cut is phemomenal! She cries, she wails, she soars and dances. She is Diva! Her voice is ethereal, piercing and proud to be in the rafters! Other stand out tunes on this boxed CD are: the Bells, Over the Rainbow, I believe I Can Fly, Sparkle and Don't Make Me Over. I know of no other artist, not Aretha, not Jennifer Holiday, not Whitney, not Mariah nor any other to compare. Patti is Diva Incarnate. She is the consumate performer. The beauty and depth of her voice mirrors the warmth and power of her soul. This boxed set, Live! One Night Only is not to be missed!
