Obviously you bitches haven't had the pleasure of seeing Patti live Her voice is just as big and her range is just as wide as it was 20 years ago Her voice is so big she could easily be an opera singer Her voice has a really metallic edge which is not for everybody's taste But she is a fantastic singer and there's no one nowadays who can touch her vocal range and power, except for perhaps Monica Naranjo (Spain) and Vanessa Amorosi (Australia), but no Beyonces or JHuds.
