Patti LaBelle, allegedly.

Gladys Knight, Jessica Simpson & Joss Stone have been mentioned as probably performers, with Cyndi Lauper, Norah Jones, Britney Spears Alicia Keys & George Michael(????) expected to be approached also.

Now Patti's a marvellous woman, but surerly Gladys Knight & dear old Cyn are more worthy of a full tribute, having had a far greater impact on popular culture....

Jessica Simpson gets EVERYWHERE these days.....

Didn't Nelly & Kelly's 'Dilemma' sample a Patti LaBelle song?

Hmm, not sure.

If it did it might explain her cameo in the video.

Just done a search and it seems 'Dilemma' contains a sample of a Patti LaBelle song called 'I Love, Need And Want You' from 1983.

Well that's grand news I'd say. She's a brilliant singer, really underrated. The guest list sounds fab too, apart from Jessica. And yay for George Michael, he should fit in find with that soul crew.
