[letronthedivo]

I LOVE ARETHA, BUT I WOULD LOVE TO HELP WHOPPI'S FASHION!!!

[keonta81]

Aretha is so funny

[princethaceleb]

I LOVE ARETHA!

[LucidDivinity]

Why is no one telling her to lose weight? That's not healthy :(

[ehcmier]

@LucidDivinity You think no one has? She knows. You don't know what's behind it. She made it to 68 years of age before her weight contributed to her getting cancer. Now after surgery, she's a size 17, working out, watching her diet, and hoping to be a size 16, and already has a concert date set.

[Chimier]

@ehcmier Aretha never had cancer. She said so herself.

[2dasimmons]

@LucidDivinity This is a good looking woman, but even if she weren't, her talent far exceeds any size. Not everybody is supposed to be a tiny tot and many of us fans are tired of seeing the little people with their little talent and mean-spirited attitudes. No, Ms. Franklin doesn't need to lose weight, but if she wants to, that's her business! I personally find it vulgar to critique someone else's looks: NO ONE is so great-looking or in such great shape to criticize someone else's looks.

[Dreambro1]

@LucidDivinity Im sure shes been told, loosing is a lot easier said than done at her age.

[Datplayboy1]

Wow A real Queen on earth. I love you Aretha

[Chofi001]

God, she's so awesome!

[myfathersprincess]

a woman falling out of love never came out to my knowledge ive been looking for it.

[owlie14]

@myfathersprincess it's still a work in process. it'll be out sometime next year, from what I understand...

[lydee09]

I think she looks great with her own hair. I don't know if I have seen her prettier

[erekleist]

[SinclairisCool]

Good old Aretha. Down to earth, friendly and in general a lovely woman.

[ANTM55]

[shagarri1589]

[jclef614]

cooolness3~ Patti screams and Aretha SINGS!

[jclef614]

Aretha is a good human being.....she's been through a lot and has done a lot for people. Being proud of yourself does not make you pompous.

[bigdogg11]

@cooolness3 cause you have met her and she did something pompous and wrong to you?

[markincapemay]

I adore you, Miss Ree Ree

[faznout]

For anyone that's wondering, the second song she sang was Chain Of Fools

[colincoolness]

The legendary Aretha! Truly amazing artist, one of the best!!! Thanks for the upload :-)

[radical11]

Do you have the second song from that show?

[alamoe62]

Great interview!! I thank the Almighty, that Aretha was sitting and had everything covered up. Let's get real...we all know the queen does not know how to dress.

[EmpressMahalia]

''did she say Aretha Please???'' LOL.........not only a beautiful woman, a great voice, and out of this World piano skills......but good down home sista humor too!

[tirayi]

My girl the Lady Soul.

It cut off and my heart near broke cause i knew she was just about to tear some shit up.

Great post.

[funky519]

wow I had no idea that she played the piano, she's so amazing!

[SinglePayerCentral]

What a gift we have all been given this year with Aretha's appearance on The View and release of a new album. There simply is no voice today more magnificent than she who will always be THEE queen of soul. LONG may she live. Her voice and music is the best of America.
