who is the better overall Vocalist to you? has the better Material for a Career? More Versatile? Better Stage show?&will be Remembered 25 years from now??

What? Pfff Miss Labelle with my eyes closed!

Miss Austin is my girl but her shows aren't that WILD like Miss Labelle,,,its all about the stage presence 2 me I guess. If you could hang it up on stage then you're cool wit me!

I like PA's voice better. "In the Heat of Heat" is one of Jam/Lewis' all time classics. I give PL props for stage prescence.

Hmm.


I believe Labelle has the better voice, better "range" & over the course of her career, has simply done more songs of a higher quality..

As I remarked on the recent "razzmatazz" thread.. I dig P. Austin, I've always liked her singing, I've liked the songs of her (that I've heard)..


as a matter of (more or less) personal taste..
it's Patti Labelle for me!

Has anyone even heard of P. Austin rolling around on the floor while knocking out a song?

Does anyone know if P. Austin's a good cook???



Clearly, if these 2 very good singers ever did a
"Patti & Patti" tour..

Austin would have to open for Labelle..

I love Patti LaBelle, but I buy Patti Austin's music. Miss LaBelle is a great performer, has great stage presence and seems to be a genuine good soul, but Miss Austin has a beautiful voice and has NEVER gotten her props. The one thing I don't like about Miss Patti is how she likes to over-sing people she performs with.
