Patti LaBelle vs. Kimberley Locke | Head 2 Head 🗣️
In the 51st edition of Head 🗣️ 2 Head 🗣️ (2023), Patti LaBelle and Kimberley Locke contend for the best rendition of “Over the Rainbow.”
Face Off
Ah, let the Face Off begin! In Face Off, musicians compete to determine who delivered the best version of a song. In most cases, the musicians are performing the same song or a remix, rearrangement, or variation of the song. Each performance will be evaluated for vocal or instrumental performance, production, and so on and so forth. After blurbing about each performance, I will briefly deliberate and deliver a verdict about who wins the Face Off. Draws and ties are acceptable, but in most cases, one band, group, or musician will get the edge.
