You people remind me of the story "The Emperor's New Clothes". Aretha has lost her magnificant voice in her later years. Admit it. I still respect her for all her accomplishments and the decent and moral life she has lived in the spotlight. But Aretha is a has been in the recording industry.
Nidely done by Aretha, but to be frankly, it doesn't come close to the flawless, and utter beauty vandross expresses. i'm sorry, but I'm a hugh fann of Aretha. It's a different interpretation, but for me it doesnt do the it.
You can't even understand what she is saying in some bits, she sounds slurry and uncomfortable. She is the queen of soul alright! And in some bits she sounds amazing. But overall this is just a bit shrieky and inaudible at bits. Pls don't bash me for having an opinion since luther made this sing into a lush r&b jam
It's so unbelievable how this woman will interpret a song that has been sung so many times. This is what you call sublime and flawless.She is absolutely amazing!! ONly Aretha. The vocal beast!!
Thank goodness there are still some real ''motown'' musicians left, Aretha's voice is just electrifying!!! Makes you wanna throw all your pop and r'n'b cd's away!!!
I wouldn't say horrible but not Re Re at her best...some of her riffs are cool but the key is wrong and her timing is not quite there, but its soulful I will tell you that and with Aretha it comes form the soul and for that she is genuine. I agree though her duet with him she sounds better...but horrible is bit extreme
Yes - it is bad! I have had a hard time listening to her when she "sings well" - I think her voice sounds terrible! Maybe she should have picked a different key. I am not sure that would have helped her though.
Not only did Aretha turn this into a symphony, Aretha sang circles around Dionne, Luther, Ella and every other singer who sang this one!! In addition to that, this song won The Queen, Miss ReeRee her 20th Grammy!!!!! Aretha owned every inch of this song!!!!!!

If this doesn't bring him home, nothing will! Aretha wears this out even with her voice not in top condition.
