About

PATTI LABELLE IN CONCERT:

Legendary R&B belter Patti LaBelle came of age at a time when the term "diva" wasn't used loosely — as a tireless performer and industry veteran, Ms. LaBelle earned her diva designation with hard work and pure, raw talent. Beloved by fans for her fiery live performances and sassy wit, Patti proved she was still in top form on her 2012/13 50th Anniversary Tour, consistently bringing down the house with electrifying renditions of classics like "Lady Marmalade" and "New Attitude." An indefatigable touring presence, Patti serves up more diva realness in 2014 with several highly anticipated appearances.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Patti Labelle cut her teeth singing in church choir and several girl groups before settling into her role as frontwoman of namesake group LaBelle in 1970. Following minor success in the early part of the decade, LaBelle hit the big time in 1974 with "Lady Marmalade," which became their first No. 1 and remains one of the most popular songs of the disco era. In 1977, Patti released her self-titled solo debut album to positive reviews, wowing critics with her songwriting and prowess as a vocalist. A series of successful albums followed including 1986's Winner in You, which landed at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and received several Grammy nominations.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"The show was the absolute best! I've never been so happy in all of my life to see Patti LaBelle live....she was great, her music was on point, the background singers were out of this world."

"Patti was great! The voice was superb and she hasn't lost a step. At 70 years young she is AMAZING!"

"It is wonderful to see a performer who truly enjoys entertaining the audience. I have been following Patti for 40 years and I have never been disappointed. She gives her all."

    Patti Didn't Care Enough To Perform

    by usccutie on 8/21/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    The show was a huge disappointment. I've grown up watching Patti Labelle so I was excited to see her live. I just knew she'd give an outstanding performance. WRONG!!!! She barely sang, did not hit many high notes, and constantly passed the microphone to her background singers and strangers to lead songs. I couldn't believe it and I feel ripped off. Shame on you Patti for disappointing so many fans. I'll never pay to see her again.

    patti labelle

    by apey on 8/21/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    She was great as usual. She didn't get to let loose, kick off her heels and do the bird flap because she was so cold. Bless her heart.

    Patti LaBelle was a disapointment !

    by heypapi on 8/21/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    It was the strangest Patti LaBelle concert I've ever seen. Patti seemed like she never got going, and was barely going through the motions to get thru some songs. Letting her band and background singers play for extended amount of time - even had a background singer perform an entire song while Patti took her spot with the background singers. She kept claiming she was freezing and had never been so cold - during a warm Southern California evening? I think she must have been sick, though she never admitted it. Her voice still seemed to be there during the few times she called upon it to hit some higher notes or use a little vocal strenghth. Those times were very few and far between. Still love you Patti, but this show was a real let down. Hope you feel better and return the LA are sometime soon.

    Patti Can Sing!

    by CahuengaTer on 8/21/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    I missed Patti in the 80's - 90's when I heard she would roll around on stage with those over the top get-ups and hairdo's....well I wasn't expecting any of that at Friday nite's concert as she did away with that long ago. I really didn't know what to expect. What I also did not expect was that voice sounding even better in person. Ms. Patti can sing!! This was my first time seeing Patti live on stage, and watching her perform and sing soooo beautifully, each song with such emotion of the story they tell...was incredible. She was very gracious, seemed to enjoy the audience, had a few people participate up on stage with one of her songs...I am gonna say this was even better that Aretha's concert a few weeks ago. I LOVED it!...just sorry I missed seeing her back in the 80's when I had the chance.

    Patti Labelle is always Patti Labelle

    by Red694 on 8/21/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    When you say Patti Labelle, you visualize glamour, volume, and peak performance. She was all of those things. As a longtime fan of Ms. Patti, I recognized that she may not have been feeling her best ( in spite of the 3 1/2 pumps that needed a few more walks around the Bowl to get broken in), she gave all that she had, 100%. In comparison to other performances that I have had the privilege of attending, Patti was great then and has only gotten better with each performance.

    Patti was totally amazing!

    by smapkat on 8/21/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    Even though Patti was physically cold her performance was totally HOT! Her voice is awesome - - so clear with amazing range. She did many of her songs, but you still wanted more. We could have listened to her for hours and hours.

    Patti Labelle

    by Jordanite on 8/20/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    Lackluster and not typical energetic Patti performance. She did not perform the majority of time and she seemed sad. She continually complained of being cold which should not have made a difference in her performance because she knew what weather to expect. Maybe cooler for California but Patti is from "for real" cold weather and Cali is not that. Her opening act and back-up singers performed better than she did. I am a long time Patti fan and will buy a ticket to see her in the future. Everyone can have a bad performance. I sent a prayer out to her in hopes she can overcome her current sadness. Patti, I love you and always will!!!!

    Patti was beyond expectation

    by Shelb7200 on 8/20/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    Her witty banter with the audience ("don't get it twisted - I'm so cold") cracked us up and her vocals, you wouldn't think a day has gone by since her first live performance. We went with four girlfriends and had a BLAST!

    Full voice, half songs

    by BRubble on 8/20/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    LaBelle was in full voice. She seemingly hit and held notes with ease. However, like any aging performer, she picked her spots. Worst of all, she sang the first verse of many hit songs then went straight to the bridge or the closing. Her backup singers sang the choruses. Patti was fun and played the diva to the delight of fans, but singing half a song all night and then not having an encore made me wonder whether the ticket price was worth it.

    NO ENERYGY WHAT SO EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    by Dren on 8/20/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    This was a very poor event. Pattie was not herself. She seemed a bit depressed speaking of her age, divorce, diabetes, her feet and that it was cold. I just exspected a little more than that and I could hear the audience same sentiments. She was doing absolutely nothing. The band that came out before her had the audience roaring more than she did, she was not even close. I hope she gets it together because one could tell that something was wrong. But when one spend their money and expected some satisfaction it could be a little dissapointing when that is not attain. The venue was very nice, first time there. God bless and keep you Pattie but I think thats it for me, I will not be seeing you again.

    She can still wail!

    by Veggieman81 on 8/20/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    Patti Labelle was very cold last night. She didn't let the crowd forget it either. Whoever was in charge of her wardrobe should be fired. She came out at the Hollywood Bowl in a dress and had a short haircut. It was in the low 60's and even all the lights couldn't keep her warm. A really nice outfit with pants and one of her big hats would have done the trick. I'm sure she would have put on a better, more lively show if she were comfortable. The woman can sing though! Except for forgetting the words to "Over The Rainbow" she sounded great.

    Patti Labelle Cold and Disappointing

    by SpenJohn on 8/20/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    I was really looking forward to seeing Ms. Labelle in lie concert having watched her many, many times over the years. It seemed like great timing where I could also celebrate my wife's birthday. Patti came onstage and immediately complained about the cold, got a shawl put on her and soon added pants and what looked like tennis shoes. Rather than kicking some energy into her song selection, she put on gloves and continued to complain about the cold. Perhaps she had a cold, but this was not the show woman I had grown to love and enjoy. She appeared to walk through the concert letting her backup group take more center stage and do more of the real singing. At moments she was there and then gone again.

    Patti Labelle frail

    by JohnX on 8/20/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    Patti never connected to the audience, her warm up act received the only standing ovation of the night. Patti was not strong at all, forgot her words, seemed lost on stage. she still hits some great notes but not worth seeing again.

    She said she was cold

    by blkheaddoc on 8/20/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    I've seen Patti previously and this was easily her weakest performance. Following her opening number she claimed that she was cold and over the course of the concert she put on additional layers of clothing. Her energy level was nowhere near her normal level (perhaps she was not feeling well) and she she did not consistently provide the vocal fireworks that are her signature. I would go to see her perform again because she is one of my favorites, but overall her performance tonight was disappointing. Mike Farris & the Roseland Rhythm Revue were a pleasant surprise and I will go out to purchase his album.

    Patti wasn't quite as awesome as she normally is..

    by MrsDiva on 8/20/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    The concert was fun and her opening act was great but when it was time for Patti to come on stage, she came out looking as gorgeous as ever but she also was hunched over and shivering. She told us she was "freezing" and seemed to have a very difficult time getting into her music. She was a little reserved at first, just because she was so cold and it almost seemed like a joke at first. But then she needed her scarf, her gloves, some flat shoes and she put on some pants under her dress. That seemed to help some but she didn't really seem very comfortable until the very end of the concert. She belted out "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and was awesome but then it was over. The house lights came on, there were no encores, and we were instructed to leave. Patti started at 9:00 and the show was over at 10:15; that was disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I still love Patti but this show did not compare to the concert I saw at a church in South Central L.A. a few years ago.

    Patti rocks but..

    by kay23 on 8/20/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    pros: parking is good, the hollywood bowl is an awesome venue, patti has one of the best voices ever Cons: after concert to get out of parking lot was very disorganized, patti was only on stage for about an hr and she was talking and changing shoes and finding a jacket for at least 20 mins and sung i swear less then 10 songs.. not really worth the money

    slightly disappointed

    by PHNX on 8/20/09Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood

    I am an avid fan of Ms Labelle but I was disappointed in her overall performance and the show last night. I do not know if it was the cold weather (god forbid she damage her voice) or the overly excerpted renditions of songs but the concert lacked Ms Labelle's usual enthusiasm and energy. I wish she would have sang more and did not give her backup singers and audience participation such a prominent role in the show. I believe that Ms Labelle is a rare artist (Diva) with exceptional talents and I would hope that "weather permitting" her next concert would be reminiscent of the "Patti" her loyal devoted fans know and love. Sincerely, PHNX
