Patti LaBelle performs "This Christmas" at the 1996 National Tree Lighting. Let's just say that nothing went as planned.

A+ with honors for Patti 💅🏻 C- to everyone else for effort 🤡 The entire crowd: 👁👄👁

@thepusherwoman Жыл бұрын

the entire ceremony was a trainwreck. patti entering the stage earlier than on cue, the late backup singers, using literal cue cards when organizers could obviously afford a teleprompter in 1996, bad sound engineering, some of the microphones were off-sounding and the mic on the last part was echoing.

@MandyGee000 7 ай бұрын

I don't think you need to learn the words of the songs, per se, in order to record an album. It's a different situational setup. In a studio, you can stop, pause, play, rerecord, etc. On stage, not so much. It's a performance. So, memorizing the lyrics is a must

Well unless you're Mariah, people don't tend to to tour for Christmas albums and litterally never have to think about the song after they leave the studio. Paul McCartney hasn't sang Wonderful Christmastime in over 40 years, but he's sang Hey Jude litterally thousands of times.

Actually what I guess happened here was that she took very long to introduce him. The arrangement cues his solo but she doesn't read the name. So he just does not begin playing. By the time he is introduced by her, there is just not enough time before she has to resume singing.

@Living Well With TJ She did do her job - she told them the problem, asked for the cue cards, was given them, but they fucked it up for her. Her job is to sing and she sang, and she respected her fans by continuing the performance even when so many things went wrong, like the background singers arriving late.

@ryananderson4326 5 жыл бұрын

Living Well With TJ She did dumbass, she is always doing charitable things. She always supports her fans. Her job is to sing and preform, not remember lyrics and that’s what background singers do. Don’t get it twisted she might snap but she’s not rude honestly it was frustration, she didn’t have the things she needed to deliver a good performance in-front of the president.
