VH1 Diva's Live 2004, a tribute to....

[VoR]

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.....

[Andricicle]

I couldn't even name ANY solo song by Patti.

[Toyah]

Should be THRILLING!

How many songs of her's do people actually know? Lady Marmalade and err.........

[VoR]

Lady Marmalade, On My Own... errr... stumpo.

[Suedehead]

She once did the Oprah theme song, didn't you know?

Yeah.

[Sild]

Oooh, maybe they'll get Michael McDonald in for On My Own... :shocked:

[Toyah]

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

[Sild]

Hmm, not sure.

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

[Toyah]

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.

[Tommy]

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.
