Probably not. In the interview she's just talking about how Dolly Parton and her are friends and how for a long time Dolly had been saying that Patti should cover it... and after Whitney covered it, the song had been snatched.
Patti is more versatile than she's often given credit for - R&B, ballads, up-tempo dance, funk, gospel, etc. - and definitely isn't the one-dimensional high belter she's sometimes caricatured as.
Edit: She said this is her favorite Patti Labelle song. Oh, and live.

Now if you never shoot, you’ll never know
And if you never eat, you’ll never grow
You’ve got a pretty kind of dirty face
And when she's leaving your home
She's begging you to stay stay stay stay stay
'I'll give you one more time
We'll give you one more fight
Said one more line
There'll be a riot, ‘cause I know you'

Oh, are you not online cause I do not see you in my list.
For some reason, it's not letting me go online. I get some kind of server error. Which is weird because I can still go on the eshop and other things that require a connection.

...NOT MICHELLE WILLIAMS STANS. I didn't even know they existed.
is this what the world has come to? ;_____;
Although, those WERE some nice C5s from Michelle...>_>
Well clearly. Christina only really misses notes when she's COMPLETELY blowing out her voice.
which happens a lot because she has a small voice + her improper technique over the years
Alicia is a just a mess on the regular.

People actually stan Michelle Williams?
Pluto.
Apropos of nothing: Patti Labelle and Cher
Have you not heard this video? Poor Kelly flopping from beginning to end. She found her calling in reaction shot gifs, though.

After years of relevancy though, scientists declared it not good enough to be a planet a few years back.
I love when Beyonce comes on, you can hear how open her throat is. Its amazing the fullness she has on some of those belts.
I was just listening to the end of that video, and it sucks Michelle's tone is not my taste. Those full passages she was singing in those F#5 belts were amazing. Poor Latoya being overshadowed by Michelle's apparent increase in belting power in that range. But Kelly is, in fact, the weakest of them all, though. If not that, then certainly the one with the least amount of endurance.

Yeah, I find that when you start getting true soprano vocalists in Pop/R&B is when you start getting those "love it or hate it" tones from singers. Michelle's voice is almost pipsqueakish that high up, but I was surprised at how high she could go and still maintain control and full vibrato. Even Beyonce is just a stone's throw away shouting at the F5, but Michelle's giving us full vocal lines.
I hadn't realized how enormous Michelle's chin is until viewing her in profile at 9:50.
Yes! I love it.
I disagree. She has a lighter voice and is a soprano, so it isn't surprising that she has more ease in the upper belt (F5/F#5). Beyonce still has a more open and resonant sound even there, though.

I think that was my favorite note from Michelle. And you could see the training. So relaxed.
Even in the F#5? She has a bigger voice than Michelle, but to me it seemed like we were definitely hearing Beyonce stretching to her limit there.
Hm.
Well, I think that Bey's peak in terms of the quality of her belts is at F5, so I do agree that around F#5 you start hearing her limits somewhat, and by G5/G#5 she's really just touching the notes. But she's hardly shouting them.
So, after re-listening: I think you're right on the F#5s.
Edit: Though I guess the best way to put it would be that Bey does sound more resonant in part because her voice is bigger (as you say), but I'll give it to Michelle because of how much ease she has. I think it's sort of similar to Mariah / Whitney in the upper belt - Whitney still has more resonance because she has a much bigger voice, but Mariah has more ease (and her placement tends to help in the upper belt). I tend to prefer Mariah because of it in that range.
Indeed. =D
Florence has one of those voices that are great within certain contexts. Even with that in mind, I was surprised at how well she pulled off that Aretha tribute. I was expecting her to completely sound out of place.

Just catching up on all the Mariah talk, especially all of the remixes that I have never heard before. I will say that I'm not really a fan of dance music in general, but Mimi's voice makes me listen. Her power
