YOUR NIGHTCAP TEA: Natalie Cole READS Patti LaBelle FOR FILTH?



OOOPS: Natalie Cole READS Patti LaBelle FOR FILTH?
Last month news leaked that the Broadway production of After Midnight would be closing before Natalie Cole and Gladys Knight took their turns in the revolving cast.
Adding to the drama spy witnesses claim Natalie Cole has been trashing current star Patti LaBelle's performance behind her back…

According to Dish Nation,
“Natalie was overheard telling friends that Fantasia really made the show work, but Patti was just not up to par,” the source told Dish Nation. “People were saying that Patti would get tired in middle of her set and would just mouth the words instead of singing them. Natalie didn’t hold back — she went on to say that Patti had lost her touch — saying she was too old and too tired to make the performance work.”

Cole, a 9-time Grammy winner, reportedly saw and loved the show when Barrino starred in it. The “Unforgettable” singer was actually scheduled to take over the role in August before it was announced that the musical would close on June 29 due to poor ticket sales.
According to the source, other celebrities in attendance backstage were all in agreement that LaBelle didn’t give it her all, but none as vocal at Natalie.
“Natalie loves Patti’s voice, but she didn’t think she was right for this,” adds the source.
