My girl is getting a tribute on 11.8.05 on UPN.

http://www.upn.com/shows/patti_labelle/

As a tribute to LaBelle on this exceptional night, her hits will be performed by Big Boi from Outkast, Nelly, Kelly Rowland, Michael McDonald, Ashanti, Boyz II Men, Mario, Gerald Levert, and a rare reunion of LaBelle’s legendary 70’s group, "Labelle," all from Atlantis, Paradise Island Resort in the Bahamas.

Featured performances include:

Big Boi from Outkast singing "Ghettomusick"
Mario performing "Somebody Loves You" with Patti LaBelle
Ashanti performing "New Attitude" with Patti LaBelle
Boyz II Men singing "If You Asked Me To"
Nelly and Kelly Rowland performing "Dilemma," featuring a sample of Patti LaBelle's "Love, Need, Want You"
Gerald Levert performing "Here & Now" with Patti LaBelle (honoring Luther Vandross)
Michael McDonald performing "On My Own" with Patti LaBelle

LaBelle will also take part in a special performance of "Lady Marmalade" with Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash, back together as "Labelle" for the first time in five years.

Yay for Patti-Patti!!!

But on another note, Mario?

Ashanti?

I know they're trying to draw in the coveted younger viewership, but why not have her peers?

I'm glad too! Patti (IMO) hasn't ever received the acknowledgement she deserves.

Now, she gets her own show.

No MJB?

I thought the show was pretty good. Who knew Ashanti could actually sing?

Loved the LaBelle Reunion...one ?? What did Nona have on? I'm kinda lost on that one?

When the guy (Fallon) did his version of Michael McDonald's part i was in tears...not that he sounded like him just mumbling the words...he is a mess.

Boys II Men: They were ok, i wanted to snatch that hat off of Shawn though..is it me or Wanya getting a bit large?

Nice show and Ms. Patti looked GOOD!

^^^ NO Wanye has definitely picked up a little

I thought it was good.

Wanya did pick up some weight; my best friend said he looked like he ate someone. I said he ate Mike, that's why there are only three now.. lol..I know that's wrong..

I thought it was the worst tribute show. Ever.

When I'm knocking on sixty's door, I hope I'm still holding it together like Nona (I just wouldn't wear that outfit

).

Boyz II Men

Kelli & Nelly

Mario

Ashanti

I'm sure the Luther tribute was a aptly titled SCREAMFEST 2005...

This was the worst list of talent for a TRIBUTE I've ever seen

Woulda been nice to see it. . .

Guess what wasn't shown because of the Orlando Magic game?
