I am an avid fan of Ms. Patti LaBelle, I have always loved her. Each time Ms. LaBelle has been in concert in New Orleans(my hometown), I have been a part of the show or shows. She is an inspiration to me and has always given me a positive position on certain situations in my life. Although she is as young as 65, she still can whoop, my last concert was dynamite she is the Ella Fitzgerald of R&B, "is it live or is it memorex,got it.

I love Ms. Labelle because she has a true heart, doesn't have that "attitude" that some divas have, she isn't rude and nasty to her fans, and she has true CLASS! So whatever she gets involved in is allright with me.

Patti turned it out as always! she brought sean bell's parents onstage and I couldn't help but cry. Chaka still sounds wonderful and no comment on her outfit. I love her anyway. Gladys was absolutely flawless and Lady Di and her grand entrance down the aisle classic. However, I wish she'd joined the rest of the divas on the stage at the end.

Diva concert May 4, 2008 Radio City Music Hall,

Patti La Belle is a "GRAND DIVA" as usual she did her thing, she was the only DIVA to salute and honor the others on the stage, Gladys was awesome as well. As for Chaka, she was a little tipsy and Diana isbeweavable.

This sounds like the concert of the year to me!

I wish that I could attend.

And a Labelle reunion! That is icing on the cake!
