Aretha Franklin is my Spiritual Mother! I just love her so! The absolute GREATEST voice EVER to grace this earth! All Hail The Queen! Peace!

[laron214]

@deeway1963 thank you so much for your comments. as you know, mama is going through a trying time right now. but faith and love are going to see her through. there's still so much more for her to do. so those of us who lover her, i mean really love her, have to keep her uplifted. blessings to you.

[77magenta]

@deeway1963 bow down to the queen of soul. it,s so sad to see all the weight she has put on. however all that weight has not affected her voice. dam she is sooooooooooo amazing.

[melquisedec2992]

This has to be the most movement Ive seen Arethra do in a while.. lol.

I gotta admit.. queen of soul still got it!

[determination9995757]

When Aretha originally sang "Today I sing the blue", it was so so good, she sang that song like she was 40 and she was only 21. I love you my precious aretha franklin.

[DamitaJoBoy9]

I LOVE that she snatched her hair off!

[SamZumba1]

Love me some Aretha :) Maybe we'll have to incorporate her into the Zumba Paylist :)

[laron214]

@SamZumba1 hey sam, thanks for viewing my vid. btw, went to class on wed. and it was cool, but nothing compares to that groovin' workout you put down. see you monday.

[HB3ZZY]

Lol that was beautiful, even when she through the wig off.

[rallypack1]

this woman is absolutely fantastic - she moves people with her music, you can see the emotions in her performances - American Idol needs to study this type of fantastic talent - to Aretha the music is a part of her and she projects it - fantastic above all

[ArethasChild]

How about you maybe stop being an asshole. That woman has done more in half of her life then you will ever do in your whole one. Stop being a bitchy twat and hating on Aretha

[dionnemichael7]

@laron214 well how do you know? :D

[laron214]

@dionnemichael7 that's definitely not dionne. i assume you're a great fan of hers, so you should know that. i can recognize aretha anywhere, and i'm sure you could recognize dionne anywhere.

[laron214]

[sharongarrison]

Awesome...she is a legend in her own right. One of the great Diva Queens.

[latincrush23]

i think beyonce is good too

but aretha is a walking legend

please do no compare!!!

[edgleb]

How could someone even think to compare the tew,please

[FallingDead1]

Because she has a voice if she would use it the right was. Don't make suck a bit fuss out of this. I'm not in the mood. okay?

[FallingDead1]

I'm saying that Ms. Franklin can out sing Beyonce. As in she's a better singer her. get it? :T

[PelucheHI]

Why the random tag at Beyonce? Aretha's a legend dummy, don't even compare her to new age music

[solsticepostess]

loook at all the white cuffed clapping. in method. and then some ppl get a little groove on. it's creepy. u're creepy.

[laron214]

what does that mean?

[FallingDead1]

I love her! and she can out sing Beyonce. o:

[marloesnomen]

What are you saying? That beyoncé ever sang better than aretha? Are you shure you're not deaf?

[iluvbeingme20]

Anointed Fire and Soul!!!! Rev. C. L. Franklin is in Heaven smile down.

[kcdav7]

I Love Aretha Franklin. God has Blessed her in so many ways. I love the fact she acknowledges him all the time. I pray the Spirit moves her to make another Gospel album.

[54spiritedwill54]

RESPECT FOR ARETHA

[Strongdr]

One of the best ever latter performances by Ms. Franklin!!! THIS is why she's still the queen!!! There is perhaps no finer female blues singer on the planet!!! When Aretha is in the spirit, she has no equal.

[Ritasab]

Very great!!!

[brittanyparson]

omg, i love when she throws her wig off!

[oneloveatatime]

Aretha looks fabulous in pink..I love this thanks for posting

[ragusto]

that sure is a shit load of fried chicker thur

[MAYDAYES]

That hair stop bullets!

[riorodano]

es una pasada de mujer .gracias por esa voz

[Donsshack]

WOAH!

wow wow wow wow wow!

awesome woman!

more more more!

Why aren't more girls named Aretha?

[sayamensomebody]

BRILLANT. This is the only women I know that can demand respect, sang the blues and take you to church with conviction within a 8:41 minutes span. This is why she is the QUEEN. Now the wig thing, yes, she threw her hair. The blues makes you feel that way sometimes. My girl! You go!

[Latishaluvzya]

she all fat

but she sing gud tho

[brandonmachew3204]

This wasn't too long before her Obama performance. I think if she lowered the key, to around this range, she would have sang "America tis of thee" would have been, more natural sounding, more gutsy, much more like this, people would have said YES! THAT IS ARETHA!. She lowered they key, and sounded wonderful here. A more natural tone, not so gut less and breathy as she did recently. At the inauguration she sounded as thought the key was too high.Sounds great here.

[Strongdr]

I love the queen, but I have to agree with you here. I thought the exact same thing: that the key for "America" was set too high. Nonetheless, you can see with this performance why she is STILL the undisputed queen of soul!

[Goldenstarm]

P-E-R-F-E-C-T

[adoboworld]

The original Diva indeed.

[briolette]

I saw this on tv and I never forgot it-- never thought I'd see it again. When I first saw it, when the wig came off, my eyes popped open, 'did she just...?' 'did the wig..where's the wig?' OMG! Aretha does what she wants to do! All Hail The QUEEN.

[messenger333]

LMAO!! When she threw that wig in...*dead*

[Ritasab]

AMAZING!!!

[Dudeifwhat]

NO ONE can beat aretha, not whitney, no one. she truly is the queen of soul, and she will always be. shes AMAZING

[iamkoro]

@Dudeifwhat I agree,Aretha is the Queen but Whitney is the one.

They both can't beat each other.

I respect them both.

:)

[codliver22]

Even though Aretha's voice has changed drastically over the years, her squals, soulful belts, low notes, rifts, and runs distinguish her from her peers. Her use of the these techniques compensate for her lost in range. In spite of it all, Aretha will forever reign as the Queen of Soul. Her work has withstood the test of time and affirmed her royal status. Ultimately, this is why she is still relavant in 2008.

[sonicesocool]

She don't need them jewels, that hair, she can sang yalls. Yes she threw her hair!

[MeryQuite]

Aretha is the undisputed 'queen of soul'. But there are other queens in other parts of the land, who have been locked away in the dungeons. And is in need of truly royal,loyal friends so that the castle can be a happy place 4us all. Aretha, we know you would give her some 'respect'. With admiration.

mery quite from the summit

[bijouxdiamond]

She felt the music so much,she threw off he wig!!!

[FranckyLatinSoul91]

One of her best performances yet!!!

[wilstebri]

You better sing that song, Ms. Ree!!!

[thompsont908]

You cant tell me Aretha still aint got that voice. She may not use it to it's fullest ability at times but I promise you she still got that voice

[tapparella84]

R E S P E C T FOR ARETHA

[tirayi]

5:40, them folks in the front row get it. The hands go up and they know what its all about.

I mean this artist sings pop,rock,jazz,blues,classical,­gospel,soul,standards spread over forty albums and when was the last time you saw her have to use a prompter on stage? Genius unlimited. THankya thankya thankya.

[24romac1965]

Amazing !!!! She went from POP to BLUES and then blew the roof off with GOSPEL !!1 All hail the QUEEN !! Please let me know if you have the clip where Aretha performed at Pres. Clinton's Inauguration wearing that $ 60,000.00 Sable coat

[laron214]

i wish i did, but i don't

[bmrcutiepie]

i remember when i first saw this when she throw off the hairpiece!!! when u feel it u feel it

[oneloveatatime]

Aretha is the greatest singer ever!!!!!I absolutely love her. Thanks for posting

[snufflefram]

I LOVE HER : voice, body and soul !

[tirayi]

God bless you for this. Don't she sing he shit outta these selections?? Hallelu.

[laron214]

you are right crazy, i love it! you truly understand the depth of her talent. she is a national treasure. just when you count her out, she comes back and let you have it.

[tirayi]

Well thank YOU my friend. I have never posted a clip on the TUBE before so when others are generous enough to do so i give all RESPECT.

What i should've said was that WHY she is SO important still is that she is always somehow able to take any gesture and make it mean so much more than it is. She throws that wig and somehow it's an incredible act of strength and liberation. She sings 'Respect' and it speaks of courage and pride.

3.13 she takes that beat to just get her self in the zone= GENIUS

[tirayi]

The wig had to come OFF ya'll. The wig was OFF. My girl threw that piece OFF and thats the only way this thing could go down. I mean who else could you imagine doing that and not only not look crazy but it's just one more reason why this is the single Greatest vocal artist of our age. It's ALWAYS about her art no matter what she does.

" ...today i'm singing the... BLUES! " I woulda knocked folks over to get to that hair.

[laron214]

OMG!your comment is the best thus far. you have made me glad that i posted this video. but i have to give credit to Brotha Ajay for the hookup. so glad you enjoyed it, you made my day.

[jcordarylb]

and that earring came off wit that hair too! in tha words of my great grandma: "I teeeeelll yew!"

[cleoharvey]

With only half her voice left she can still sing rings around everyone. Her musicality has always been astounding and it will carry her through until she has 3 notes left. She will still be able to sing the walls down.

[Gitsyb]

This is priceless!!! No better yet FREAKING awesome!!!

[gbarron85]

Hail the Queen. She sings the hell out of that blues song and then takes us right to church. When she snatches that hair piece off, so priceless. Go RE-RE!

[stephancan]

respect !aretha on form no one better !

[melysenda]

è un mito.

[fattymaddy]
