SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN A TACKHEAD, BUT DAMN...WHO THE HELL DID HER HAIR???!!! & SHE GOES OUT ON STAGE LIKE THAT!!!??? IT DOESN'T MATCH IN COLOR OR TEXTURE,, DAMN!!!!......BUT.SHE CAN BLOW THO!!! LOL!!
c'mon people i mean that's stupid.Why can't we just accept that all of them are great singers? Why can't someone have his opinion.My favourite is Whitney but i really respect Aretha,Mariah and others and when someone tells me that he likes them more than Whitney i just accept it.There is no reason for a fight,everyones' ear is different,we don't have to like the same sounds,voices as we don't have to like same things,food,activities,sports etc....it is as simple as that.
One of the most beautifulist and emotionally songs i have come across in my life. Still hauting each time I play it. A song you can relate to time and time again. Ree poured her heart out in this and `Face wrote the best msuic of his career for this WTE soundtrack. All hail the Queen of Soul still getin people off ther feet nearly 40 yaers after she graced us . Amen is the only word to say this performance
You all sound silly and should stop it! All are great singers so just appreciate such talent instead of always comparing them. Don't miss out on enjoying good music just to argue. These women don't need to be compared to know they are great singers. If you don't like one over the other, no problem -- don't buy the record or even listen. Otherwise, lay back and enjoy.
Aretha looks good on this show. I love the hair and the outfit accentuates beautifully. And of course, the voice is amazing as ever. Thanks Aretha for shining your star so bright for so long.
@chesneysimon Aretha doesn't have a 4 octave range her range is 3.4 octaves. Furthermore a great singer is more than range, a great singer has musicianship and an amazing interpretive ability. That is why she is so amazing and respected. There is no greater singer than Aretha.
@TheQueenAretha yes i agree with everything you say but the argument that she is the greatest is truly flawed and bypasses women who musically are better and are far more successful than aretha, her range may not be the be all and end all however it limits her in where she could possibly take a song. she can bareli hold a note longer than ten seconds.
@chesneysimon There is only one woman that is musically better than Aretha and that is Ella Fitzgerald and not by much. Being the greatest singer has nothing to do with being more successful. Aretha was one of the three top selling females of her generation but that is not what makes Aretha the greatest singer. It is her musicianship and her ability to interpretation. How does her range limits Aretha. Aretha range is impressive. Her lowest note is G2 and her highest is a belted D6. Impressive!
@chesneysimon Range has nothing to do with how far one can take a song that is musicianship and interpret ability that determines that. Aretha is the best there is when it comes to those two elements along with her uncomparable phrasing and gift of expression. There is no song Aretha can't take on. Long notes don't make a great singer nor does it make a song great. It isn't that Aretha can't sustain long notes, it is that she never found a use for them in her interpretation.
@TheQueenAretha no she is not the best at it at all, and range has something to with a lot of things, aretha can not sing a song and keep in its format, for instance she could not sing a rock ballad and keep a rock ballad she would have to change it into a slow soul version, her voice is not versatile nor is it capable of stepping out of its comfort zone. nowhere did i say that success determines greatness but it goes along way in terms of proof. and yes she is one of the greatest selling of her
@chesneysimon Yes she is the best singer of them all. Range is not the most important part. It doesn't make one a great singer. Eventhough Aretha has one of the most expensive ranges. Singing a song in its format. That doesn';t have anything to with it. It is all about interpretation. Not singing style. It's about how you get interpret the way. Aretha is one of the most versatile singers of all time. There is nothing she can't sing or has done. You clearly know nothing about Aretha Franklin.
@chesneysimon To say that she doesn't do out of her comfort zone is stupid. Aretha has sung more than just soul and rnb, she has sung pop, rock, blues, jazz, gospel, and even interpreted an opera piece. As i said there is nothing Aretha can't no, there is no limit that she has showed musically. Aretha even at her old age still is proving why she so respected and why she is the greatest singer of all time.
@TheQueenAretha generation, not of all time. to say that ella fitzgerald is the only person musically better than aretha is incredibly ignorant. what about male singers and entertainers? Aretha is indeed great but when it comes to singing, she has a lot of gifts she also lacks many. anyone with a shit voice can intepret a song well and emote great. if we r talking about technical ability and the utilization of the vocal instrument, she is nowhere near the top of the list
@chesneysimon Ella Fitzgerald is the only person that is above her. There aren't that many gifts that Aretha lacks. Aretha is as gifted as it comes. And those people with a shit voice are better singers that have better voices. Take Billie Holiday, she never had a great voice but she is without a doubt a great singer because the woman bathe in her musicianship. In terms of being technical Aretha in her prime was a technical as it came. She was vocally better than anyone.
@TheQueenAretha billie holiday is not a creat singer at all her unearthly power is quite impressive though. There are many singers who technically better than aretha during her time and during ours. being pleasing on the ear does not make u a betta singer at all. remove any type of instrument or backing track and singing alone aretha franklin would be buried buy alot of singers male and female.
@chesneysimon Yes Billie Holiday is a great singer, she doesn't have a great voice but she is without a doubt a great singer. Not too many people mess with Aretha technically. Aretha was a technical as it gets, the way she used her voice was amazing. Aretha doesn't need any instruments and what backing track. All Aretha needs is her voice and she will show that she is the greatest. Aretha is the best singer of all time. The only singer that is ahead of her is Ella. Simple as that.
@TheQueenAretha no billie holiday is not a great singer at all, shes has a talent for making people feel what she is saying, shes just a loud actress. in terms of technique once again aretha is outclassed by a number of people, i never said she cannot sing or that she isnt one of the greatest, but her singin voice is so far above overrated its unbelievable kmt
@chesneysimon Say she is what makes a great singer is her musicianship. Her ability to interpret and convey her music. She is without question a great singer. She might not have a great voice but a singer trumps a vocalist everytime. Aretha is no loud actress, she is the greatest singer of all time! What she has done for music alone proves that. People like Aretha come once in a lifetime. She is just brilliant from top to bottom. Aretha in her prime has one if not the best techniques in music.
@TheQueenAretha so u r admitting as a vocalist she is not the greatest?? this is what the problem is you are only speaking as a fan and giving very narrow minded views on a woman who is undoubtedly great but could and can be outsung and outperformed by many women. i meant billie holiday is a loud actress.
@chesneysimon No i was refering to Billie Holiday. As a vocalist Aretha was one of the best ever. Aretha in her prime only peer was Barbra. There is no problem with Aretha. No one can outsing Aretha. Aretha would kill however comes her way. Aretha is the best ever when it come to being both a singer and a vocalist, Aretha is the bees knees. She is at the top of the list and Billie is not a loud actress either. She really didn't have any range or got loud.
@TheQueenAretha this really sounds like a rant from an obsessed fan, which clearly you, there is no point in arguing when you fail to see the obvious truth but anyway. i know a hell of a lot about singers and especially great vocalists, there are many greats who make aretha sound average as a VOCALIST and as a SINGER
@chesneysimon This is coming from an obsessed stan that doesn't know the difference between a great singer and vocalist. Everything you are saying is coming from your ass. Unlike you i know the truth. You fail to understand that a singer trumps a vocalist every single time. Aretha in her prime was the best vocalist ever. Nothing about her vocally ability was average to say the least. Her amazing range, her power, the way Aretha could hit extremely hit notes and maintain fullness.
@TheQueenAretha where u see my obsession for anything is beyond me but ok, like i have told you many times i am well aware of the difference between a singer and a vocalist, you do not know any truth at all as your whole point is based on opinion and you fail to see any other point of view. you keep talking about aretha in her prime, yes she was great in her prime but there are artist who are not only more decorated than aretha but also trump her musically and skillfully.
@chesneysimon Please you are nothing more than a obsessed stan. You being on this video shows how wacked out you are. You can lie you know the difference but in truth you don't know shit. Nor do you want to understand. A singer trumps a vocalist everytime. My statements are based on facts, not opinion. I can back my shit up. Aretha is the most respected woman in music along with Ella. They are the most respected female musical figures of the 20th century. There is only one woman that has Ree....
@chesneysimon There is not a single vocalist that could outdo Aretha in her prime. No matter what they did they could not outsing Aretha. Aretha was a beast vocally. And when it comes to being a singer Aretha only has one person that is ahead of her and like i said that is Ella. No one else comes close to Aretha as a singer or a vocalist. Unlike you i know the truth and is able to back is up. You might like other singers but Aretha is the best. Both as a singer and as a vocalist. Case Closed.
@TheQueenAretha arethas range is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination and her power is above average, aretha could and can never hit extremely high notes at all especially in full voice, now your speaking out of ur ass, u need to back it up and show the evidence of aretha doing an amazing job on a song and ill show you 10 videos of some one who makes that look average. u have not backed up anything.
@chesneysimon Wrong, Wrong, Wrong! Aretha has the highest chest voice out of any woman in music. Her lowest note is a G2 and her highest is BELTED D6. If that ain't impressive than tell me what is. And Aretha has one of the most powerful voices of all time. There is nothing about Aretha that is average. Aretha is gifted. Someone like Aretha comes once in a lifetime. Wrong again Aretha has hit extremely high notes in full voice. She hit a B5 and it sounded like it was in full chest. No joke.
@TheQueenAretha you seriously are deluded, aretha franklin does not have nowhere near the highest chest voice in music are you insane, i never said she didnt have a powerful voice, just saying its not the most powerful, never said she wasnt gifted either, can you actually read? u have just repeated yourself in every message. show me the video or audio of aretha hitting b5? show me a video that areetha holds a note longer than 15secs? dont ever try and bring whitney into this.
@chesneysimon You can't not stop facts. Aretha does have the highest chest voice out of any other woman. A range of G2 to D6 live. No matter what you say, facts are facts. She has one of the most powerful voices in music. Aretha has hit tons of B5s both live and on record. The B5 i am talking about is one a song called As Good To Me As I Am To You, she hits a powerful B5 when she saids "Sold Me". Aretha was never into doing long notes. She never found a use for them. It had nothing to do with
@TheQueenAretha no she does not, if you wanna talk about whitney, who actually does have the strongest chest voice in music, u need to come with your facts, once again you fail to coherenntly understand what i am saying, i DID NOT say her voice wasnt powerful. do you know aretha? she never found a use for them? how do u actually know this at all, really how? you wanna speak about notes, and her lack of ability to sustain them has a lot to do with being a good vocalist.
@chesneysimon Whitney doesn't have the highest chest voice in music. Aretha does. Whitney's doesn't have Aretha's range or power in her upper range. The highest note Whitney has hit is a A5 live, and she did that once. Aretha has hit so many A5s both live and on wax it makes no sense. Aretha has hit a belted D6! Whitney hasn't come close to hitting that in chest. As much as i love Whitney. Aretha is the best singer and vocalist. Aretha was never into long note. She had no use for them........
@TheQueenAretha do not ever insult whitney houston by comparing her range in any register to aretha franklin, who vocally is completely superior to whitney in every way possible, whitney houston is internationally recognised as being the greatest singer alive, if you wanna compare the ability of both these women iv got aretha singing at her best and whitney at her very best comparison videos, aretha does not stand a chance against whitney.
@chesneysimon Is it an insult because it is the truth. Aretha has the greater range. Both low and highest. Aretha's range is bigger. Whitney is not the greatest singer alive. The Greatest Ever is Ella and the Greatest Singer Alive is Aretha Franklin. When they think about the Greatest Aretha comes to mind. Aretha at her best is the better singer. Aretha doesn't give anyone a chance. She is a vocal beast.
@TheQueenAretha Why do you feel the need to pick at everyone on this page? people are entitled to their opinion , if they think people are better than Aretha then that's their opinion , get over it , and as for range , let's not boast false statements , Mariah Carey and Minnie Rippertons range destroys Aretha's. That is a musical fact.
@Matty3Mite3 Why the hell will they be on here in the first damn place if they do? They are asking for it when they come on here with that crap. Mariah and Minnie do have more range than Aretha but she is a better singer than the both of them as well as vocalist. That right there is nothing but the truth.
@TheQueenAretha If you want to talk music technique there are many singers that control their voice far better than Aretha ever did, Whitney , Mariah , Celine , Patti, Leona and countless opera singers. You thinking she is the greatest singer is OPINION , not fact.
@Matty3Mite3 Wrong Wrong, Wrong, a 100's times wrong. Aretha is better vocalist than Mariah, Celine, Patti, Leona and any other vocalist you pull out of your ass. Aretha had on of the best techiniques in music back in her prime. Not only is she a great vocalist but she is an amazing singer. The only singer that is greater than Aretha is Ella. Aretha trumps WH, MC, LL, and without a doubt CD in terms of musicianship. It is not an opinion Aretha is the Greatest Singer of All and that is FACT!!!
@TheQueenAretha The fact that you just attempted to explain a vocalist as something different to a singer goes to show you know absolutely nothing about technique. Yes Aretha is incredibly soulful, and has an amazing voice , but it's natural , her technique is actually very sloppy. Mariah, Leona , Whitney , they could all hit notes Aretha couldn't attempt in her dizzyest daydreams. Stop forcing your opinion onto others, it's not law.
@Matty3Mite3 You obviously doesn't know the difference between a vocalist and a singer. A singer is greater than vocalist. What makes a great singer great is there musicality, phrasing, interpretive ability, sense of rhythm and timing. Aretha has all of that and she does it better than everyone except Ella. Aretha's technique is not sloppy, she has one of the best techniques in music and she is a better vocalist than MC and Leona put together.
@Matty3Mite3 And you got it fucked up, it is themthat can't hit all the notes Aretha can. Aretha has belted out a D6, rarely anyone singer has done that. And the highest WH and Leona can go in chest is A5. Aretha has more range than them both in lower and upper registers.
@TheQueenAretha ermmm stop kissing aretha's ass. Let other people express their opinions without your stupid ass contradicting everything they say. If you're going to do that, atleast do it properly with proper grammar. Your comments are annoying and this page is polluted with them. Keep your comments to yourself and let other people share their thoughts and their opinion. I agree, Aretha has got to be the greatest soul singer of the decade but that doesn't mean i go belittle other people.
@Erigendya Bitch GET REAL! No one is better than Aretha. Aretha is the greatest singer ever. The only woman that is above is Ella, no one else comes close. Susan Boyle is old new, Aretha Franklin is Legendary. She is the most influential woman in music. And her interpretation of I Dreamed A Dream was amazing. So go fuck yourself!
@chesneysimon In her music. Aretha doesn't have a lack of ability to sustain her notes, she can and has sustain all her notes, even that D6. What she doesn't do is hold them for 20 seconds. She had no use for that. Super long notes don't make you a great singer.
@TheQueenAretha ok! im not saying no more, u obviously find listening and understanding difficult. i beg you please dont reply or say anything to me again. go and enjoy aretha, the queen of all music :-)
@chesneysimon Why would i listen to you when you are clearly talking from your ass. You don't know anything about what you are saying. You might prefer others to Aretha,but at the end of the day Aretha will still bet greater than them.
@chesneysimon Aretha is able to maintain fullness throughout her entire range. The only one that is speaking out of your ass is you. You don't know enough about Aretha or anyone that we have talked about to say the shit that you are saying. Go back to Whitney and Fantasia. You don't know enough about Aretha to talk from you ass. Lastly you could show me 100 videos of someone else and not a single performance will make Aretha look average. There is nothing average about her or her voice.
@TheQueenAretha being a vocalist or singer, aretha does not stand up against whitney and you can argue u until ur blue in the face i dont even wanna hear that shit. like i said you have not backed anything up and you have failed to once again show evidence for anything you are saying. i know a hell of alot about aretha trust me, you dont know me. you are trying to tell me what i know and what i dont, you feeling ok? but anyway its obvious u find it hard accepting things its kl, i cn deal wid tht
@chesneysimon Aretha is superior to Whitney when it comes to being both a singer and a vocalist. Aretha and Barbra are the best vocalist ever. Than comes Whitney. Now as a singer Whitney has alot of superiors. Aretha being at the very top. Like i told you, you can see for yourself. I don't have to do a damn thing because Aretha has did it for me. She has proven time and time again why she is so respected, loved, and honored. She has proven that she is The Greatest Singer Alive. No doubt about it
@TheQueenAretha this is where it is evident u have no understanding of the voice, im not even gonna argue cos it feels petty. aretha franklin is a better vocalist than whitney houston hahaha, u just made my they with that bullshit.
@chesneysimon You don't know shit about Aretha nor do you know why Billie Holiday is a great singer and why Ella is the Greatest Ever. I know you well enough to know that you are clueless when it comes to what really makes these ladies great.
@chesneysimon She would smoke there asses. Aretha ain't nothing to play with. You really don't know what the hell you are talking about. Aretha will put a hurting on them. All i have to say is listen to Aretha for yourself. Because clearly you haven't. Aretha's voice proves it all. I don't have to do a thing. Just go looking for yourself and she will prove it on her own. Go back to where you belong. You have no place trying to downgrade the Queen. You words can't back up what she has done.
@TheQueenAretha lol the only way aretha would outsing or outperform whitney is if she sat on her. i have listened and still listen to aretha franklin there is no doubting her greatness. im not trying to down grade aretha i dont know about this queen business but whatever. call her what you want but she damn sure aint ' The Voice'
@chesneysimon You don't know a thing about what you are talking about. Aretha is the best when it come to both being a singer and vocalist. What i am saying is a singer is far better than a vocalist. To be in the league of the greats you have to be more than just a voice. Aretha was the best of both worlds.
@chesneysimon No one could outclass Aretha in terms of technique. Her technique is being taught today. Aretha was on the top of the list when it comes to being a singer and a vocalist. Without any question in my mind Aretha is the Greatest Singer. The one lady that could ever top her is Ella and she is no longer with us. There is nothing about Aretha's voice that is overrated. Aretha is one of music's greatest gifts. God outdid hisself with her. As he did with Lady Ella. No one is above them.
What does this video have to do with Patti LaBelle? im so SICk of everybody always comparing Patti LaBelle to EVERYOTHER female singer DAMN...Patti is Patti and Aretha is Aretha. There all WONDERFUL in there own ways. Damn just respect and loves these singers while there here because there not going to be around forever.
@medene : It hurts like hell being put down due to looks.
Aretha definitely deserves RESPECT (let alone admiration) for her singing. People who talk about her looks proove in doing so that they themselves are void of the musicality necessary for a competent judgement.
Just wondering why you all people arguing about Patti and Aretha??? They do have different styles...they're unique! they do have great voices....They are great singers... Then what's the problem?
i think that this performance by her sucked - she can do better and she was just being fat and lazy. Patti Labelle puts more effort into performing and giving a great performance - this woman just thinks that she is the best and does not need to. She makes the best sandwiches but is not the best vocalist.
@medene Hell No! What Patti does is oversing and overact. She acts like a damn fool on stage. She lacks any conviction and passion and covers that with stage antics. Like i have said countless of this Patti ain't even half way in the league with Aretha. Aretha is not her point and Aretha doesn't have to think she is the best because she is the very best.
@TheQueenAretha I agree with you, Patti is not HALF the women Aretha is - in fact most female elephants aren't half the female Aretha is - that is a whole lot of women! LOL! Patti is the Greatest - every artist today looks up to her and Mariah Carey even calls her "MOM"...aaaahhhh. The only people that like Aretha are restaurant owners! Aretha and Whitney are done - it is all about Patti. Aretha lacks motivation and passion - you would to though if you ate 3 meals before 1pm like Aretha!
@medene Shut the hell up with that lame shit. Patti barely looks like a woman, more like a drag queen. Patti is nothing but a loud ass mean, all she does is oversing and make stupid noise. And for once will a Patti fan be real, Patti never had the success or respect that Aretha has had. Aretha is the most respected woman in music and every singer in this industry sites her as their influence. Mariah and Whitney both site her as the reason they got into singing.
@TheQueenAretha listen to patti labelle lover man live on youtube..patti can sing just about anything a make it her's...she sang an entire song lying on her back and hit every last note it sound better than billy holiday the orignal..patti is a legend that still got it..looks and voice how u doin.....
@realness6940 Patti murdered Lover Man and not in a god way. Patti can not singer just about everything. What she does is oversing over everything. Her version of Lover Man is horrible, it doesn't compare to Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, or Billie Holiday's interpretations. I don't know what the hell she is doing but don't ever compare Patti to any of those ladies and say it is better. That just ain't true.
@realness6940 Listen to the three ladies interpretation and understand that they are telling a story with there voices and not just hitting high notes and making noise.
@TheQueenAretha everybody everybody...knows PATTI LABELLE can BLOW.......49 years in the game and lookin 15 years younger..than what she is.. yea Aretha can sing..too love this video of her..but PATTI is my Idol...
@realness6940 That seems like that is all Patti can do. She has never did anything musically brilliant. And Patti look her age, don't take this the wrong way because i can admit that i don't care for Patti much, but don't think i am saying this just to be mean. That isn't true, i am only stating the facts.
@TheQueenAretha Patti looks a hell of a lot better than Aretha..these days..Aretha has breathing problems she is so over weight..and unhealthy..Patti looks younger than 66...I would guess 50 oh and Aretha..70ish..voted worst dressed celebrity of the decade..Patti also has more money cook books..show ect. Aretha burned her house down to get insurance money..did'nt you know..she could'nt afford a stylist..ROTFLMAO
@realness6940 No she doesn't, Patti's better now. There is nothing wrong with Aretha breath support, it is still in great shape. Aretha is losing weight and besides her weight, Aretha saids that she in a great deal of health. Patti looks like a goblin and for your information Aretha is 68 and she looks great for her age. What the hell are you talking about Patti doesn't have more money than Aretha. Aretha is making 30 million a year, Aretha bank account has alway been wider.
@TheQueenAretha No she doesn't, Patti's the better dresser now. There is nothing wrong with Aretha breath support, it is still in great shape. Aretha is losing weight and besides her weight, Aretha saids that she in a great deal of health. Patti looks like a goblin and for your information Aretha is 68 and she looks great for her age. What the hell are you talking about Patti doesn't have more money than Aretha. Aretha is making 30 million a year, Aretha bank account has alway been wider.
@TheQueenAretha so sad to see a legend go fat fat fat..mobidly obessed Google says.. She so poor she can't afford a stylist worst dressed Google Says... Heath Problems Google says Naw she got off her son smelled of gas when figher fighters arrived Google says.They felt sorry for her.. lmao Chile please never in your life come for Patti
@realness6940 Google this Patti looks like the green goblin from spiderman. Aretha has stated herself that she is in a great bill of health, her blood pressure is normal and she doesn't have diabetes, and she is losing weight so she keep it like that. Like i said before, Aretha makes way more money a year than Patti ever has. The royalities Aretha makes enough alone is more money than Patti will ever see..
@realness6940 I don't know what the fuck you are reading but if Google said that shit then that shit is untrue. You sound like a damn retard, i know the factsa and everything you are saying is bullshit just like Patti's voice, bullshit!
@realness6940 And to hell with Patti's show and cook books that shit is irrevelant to what we are talking about. Aretha didn't burn her house down, and if she did tell me why she got the house rebuilt in the same exact spot. Aretha doesn't have to worry about money, what Aretha makes on royalities along is more than what Patti has made in her life. And so ever talk about money because Aretha make way more money than Patti.
@TheQueenAretha And you are just mad because you know what i say is true. Patti doesn't know how to sing her way throught a paper bag all she can do is scream.
@TheQueenArethalmao Chile please Aretha is so fat she can't even fit on a plane. They have to bus her around..she claim she just scared she can't fit in the damn seat.. She so fat she can't even wipe her own ass..When she was at Luther Funeral she was so out of breath..on the Mike she could'nt sing..or even hold notes
@realness6940 Bitch please, the reason Aretha has fear of flying. Bitch don't come on here making but lies. You just worry about Patti looking like a drag queen. And i know you are like because when Aretha sung at Luther's funneral her voice was in great shape. Bitch get the fuck out of hear with all this shit. When you don't have to make up lies than you talk to me but other than that fuck off.
@TheQueenAretha oops firefighters... google says..lolz they felt sorry for her fat desprate ass..she could sing back in the days...thats why they donated her poor ass a house..in the same spot..how you doin..
@realness6940 Aretha could sing back in the day and can still sing her ass off today. She is still a far better singer than Patti ever will be. Patti is nothing but a screamfest. And get this shit right, nobody donated Aretha a damn thing, number one that house that got burned, Aretha wasn't living in it,she just owned it. And no one donated shit to Aretha, she had the house rebuilt. Aretha makes more money than you and Patti together. No one needs to feel sorry for Aretha.
@TheQueenAretha lmao oh Aretha looks like she is sweating up a fest..you should take her back to the zoo and feed her first.. let her shit... climb in and wipe her ass..you know she can't wipe her own ass right?? tooo fat... and then hose that whale off..ROTFLMAO Don't hate on Patti..
@realness6940 You can't talk about taking Aretha to the zoo when Patti looks like a comic book villian. Patti looks like a female version of the green goblin.
@medene Mariah nearly worthships her. Get real bitch. Patti has had a 5th rate career. Aretha is a legendary and what she did for music will go down in history. Patti hasn't did shit that could compare to Aretha. Patti is a hot ass mess, Aretha is a Queen. Get that right bitch. Aretha and Whitney are legendary! Voices like Aretha and Whitney will never leave this world. Whitney future is bright and Aretha place as music's most respected singer is still standing strong.
Lastly! If Aretha has anything she has her passion, conviction and and gift of interpretation. Qualities Patti alwayed lacked. Patti is a joke. So make jokes about Ree's sizes but remember this PATTI IS TRASH COMPARED TO ARETHA a Teasure. She has done more for the art of music than Patti could ever imagine. Don't ever in your life come on here and compare that mess to Aretha!
@TheQueenAretha blah, blah, blah - stop sucking Aretha's Mammie Breast for a while and realize that she does not have the vocal range, creativity, stamina, strength or clarity that Patti does...she is a great singer don't get me wrong, but as of late she has become FAT, STANKY AND LAZY while singing...her song at the Presidents Inaugural was a lazy sounding Pork filled rendition of what she sang
@medene Why don't you get real with your fucking self. Aretha still has an amazing range, and she has more creativity than Patti ever had. Patti is no creative, not at all! Aretha is a musical genuis, she is a song writter, pianist, producer, arranger, she has done it all. And Patti doesn't have Aretha clarity, she is just a nasally mess. Aretha is THE BEST. Patti ain't shit! She might is an ugly, screaming, DRAG QUEEN!
@medene Talk about Aretha weight all you want be remember, Aretha is royality, Patti is a servant. Barrack would have never picked that screeching crow to sing at the Inaugural, no one deserved to sing for him more than Aretha. Her music was one of the leading voices of the Civil Rights Movement.
@TheQueenAretha ...Patti is the best and by the way I highly doubt that anybody would began singing just because of Aretha's tons of fun! LOL! Also tell yo mammy Aretha to put her big ass tits away at award shows, nobody wants to see those jugs!
@medene Patti is not even close to being the best. Just because she is loud and oversings everything doesn't mean a thing. Aretha is better on every level. Aretha is the reason many singers sing today because of what she gave off, emotion, conviction and passion. Not only was she a great voice but she was a great singer. Patti wishes she she could get invited to an award show. Patti has alway had a 5th rate career.
woow amazing voice nothing like singers in this days

c'mon people i mean that's stupid.Why can't we just accept that all of them are great singers? Why can't someone have his opinion.My favourite is Whitney but i really respect Aretha,Mariah and others and when someone tells me that he likes them more than Whitney i just accept it.There is no reason for a fight,everyones' ear is different,we don't have to like the same sounds,voices as we don't have to like same things,food,activities,sports etc....it is as simple as that.

Ree poured her heart out in this and `Face wrote the best msuic of his career for this WTE soundtrack. All hail the Queen of Soul still getin people off ther feet nearly 40 yaers after she graced us . Amen is the only word to say this performance

You all sound silly and should stop it! All are great singers so just appreciate such talent instead of always comparing them. Don't miss out on enjoying good music just to argue. These women don't need to be compared to know they are great singers. If you don't like one over the other, no problem -- don't buy the record or even listen. Otherwise, lay back and enjoy.

@TheQueenAretha and what is that she can do with her 4 octave range
chesneysimon 1 year ago
@chesneysimon Aretha doesn't have a 4 octave range her range is 3.4 octaves. Furthermore a great singer is more than range, a great singer has musicianship and an amazing interpretive ability. That is why she is so amazing and respected. There is no greater singer than Aretha.
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@TheQueenAretha yes i agree with everything you say but the argument that she is the greatest is truly flawed and bypasses women who musically are better and are far more successful than aretha, her range may not be the be all and end all however it limits her in where she could possibly take a song. she can bareli hold a note longer than ten seconds.
chesneysimon 1 year ago
@chesneysimon There is only one woman that is musically better than Aretha and that is Ella Fitzgerald and not by much. Being the greatest singer has nothing to do with being more successful. Aretha was one of the three top selling females of her generation but that is not what makes Aretha the greatest singer. It is her musicianship and her ability to interpretation. How does her range limits Aretha. Aretha range is impressive. Her lowest note is G2 and her highest is a belted D6. Impressive!
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@chesneysimon Range has nothing to do with how far one can take a song that is musicianship and interpret ability that determines that. Aretha is the best there is when it comes to those two elements along with her uncomparable phrasing and gift of expression. There is no song Aretha can't take on. Long notes don't make a great singer nor does it make a song great. It isn't that Aretha can't sustain long notes, it is that she never found a use for them in her interpretation.
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@TheQueenAretha no she is not the best at it at all, and range has something to with a lot of things, aretha can not sing a song and keep in its format, for instance she could not sing a rock ballad and keep a rock ballad she would have to change it into a slow soul version, her voice is not versatile nor is it capable of stepping out of its comfort zone. nowhere did i say that success determines greatness but it goes along way in terms of proof. and yes she is one of the greatest selling of her
chesneysimon 1 year ago
@chesneysimon Yes she is the best singer of them all. Range is not the most important part. It doesn't make one a great singer. Eventhough Aretha has one of the most expensive ranges. Singing a song in its format. That doesn';t have anything to with it. It is all about interpretation. Not singing style. It's about how you get interpret the way. Aretha is one of the most versatile singers of all time. There is nothing she can't sing or has done. You clearly know nothing about Aretha Franklin.
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@chesneysimon To say that she doesn't do out of her comfort zone is stupid. Aretha has sung more than just soul and rnb, she has sung pop, rock, blues, jazz, gospel, and even interpreted an opera piece. As i said there is nothing Aretha can't no, there is no limit that she has showed musically. Aretha even at her old age still is proving why she so respected and why she is the greatest singer of all time.
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@TheQueenAretha generation, not of all time. to say that ella fitzgerald is the only person musically better than aretha is incredibly ignorant. what about male singers and entertainers? Aretha is indeed great but when it comes to singing, she has a lot of gifts she also lacks many. anyone with a shit voice can intepret a song well and emote great. if we r talking about technical ability and the utilization of the vocal instrument, she is nowhere near the top of the list
chesneysimon 1 year ago
@chesneysimon Ella Fitzgerald is the only person that is above her. There aren't that many gifts that Aretha lacks. Aretha is as gifted as it comes. And those people with a shit voice are better singers that have better voices. Take Billie Holiday, she never had a great voice but she is without a doubt a great singer because the woman bathe in her musicianship. In terms of being technical Aretha in her prime was a technical as it came. She was vocally better than anyone.
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@TheQueenAretha billie holiday is not a creat singer at all her unearthly power is quite impressive though. There are many singers who technically better than aretha during her time and during ours. being pleasing on the ear does not make u a betta singer at all. remove any type of instrument or backing track and singing alone aretha franklin would be buried buy alot of singers male and female.
chesneysimon 1 year ago
@chesneysimon Yes Billie Holiday is a great singer, she doesn't have a great voice but she is without a doubt a great singer. Not too many people mess with Aretha technically. Aretha was a technical as it gets, the way she used her voice was amazing. Aretha doesn't need any instruments and what backing track. All Aretha needs is her voice and she will show that she is the greatest. Aretha is the best singer of all time. The only singer that is ahead of her is Ella. Simple as that.
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@TheQueenAretha no billie holiday is not a great singer at all, shes has a talent for making people feel what she is saying, shes just a loud actress. in terms of technique once again aretha is outclassed by a number of people, i never said she cannot sing or that she isnt one of the greatest, but her singin voice is so far above overrated its unbelievable kmt
chesneysimon 1 year ago
@chesneysimon Say she is what makes a great singer is her musicianship. Her ability to interpret and convey her music. She is without question a great singer. She might not have a great voice but a singer trumps a vocalist everytime. Aretha is no loud actress, she is the greatest singer of all time! What she has done for music alone proves that. People like Aretha come once in a lifetime. She is just brilliant from top to bottom. Aretha in her prime has one if not the best techniques in music.
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@TheQueenAretha so u r admitting as a vocalist she is not the greatest?? this is what the problem is you are only speaking as a fan and giving very narrow minded views on a woman who is undoubtedly great but could and can be outsung and outperformed by many women. i meant billie holiday is a loud actress.
chesneysimon 1 year ago
@chesneysimon No i was refering to Billie Holiday. As a vocalist Aretha was one of the best ever. Aretha in her prime only peer was Barbra. There is no problem with Aretha. No one can outsing Aretha. Aretha would kill however comes her way. Aretha is the best ever when it come to being both a singer and a vocalist, Aretha is the bees knees. She is at the top of the list and Billie is not a loud actress either. She really didn't have any range or got loud.

@TheQueenAretha this really sounds like a rant from an obsessed fan, which clearly you, there is no point in arguing when you fail to see the obvious truth but anyway. i know a hell of a lot about singers and especially great vocalists, there are many greats who make aretha sound average as a VOCALIST and as a SINGER

Unlike you i know the truth. You fail to understand that a singer trumps a vocalist every single time. Aretha in her prime was the best vocalist ever. Nothing about her vocally ability was average to say the least. Her amazing range, her power, the way Aretha could hit extremely hit notes and maintain fullness.

@TheQueenAretha where u see my obsession for anything is beyond me but ok, like i have told you many times i am well aware of the difference between a singer and a vocalist, you do not know any truth at all as your whole point is based on opinion and you fail to see any other point of view. you keep talking about aretha in her prime, yes she was great in her prime but there are artist who are not only more decorated than aretha but also trump her musically and skillfully.

chesneysimon 1 year ago
@chesneysimon Wrong, Wrong, Wrong! Aretha has the highest chest voice out of any woman in music. Her lowest note is a G2 and her highest is BELTED D6. If that ain't impressive than tell me what is. And Aretha has one of the most powerful voices of all time. There is nothing about Aretha that is average. Aretha is gifted. Someone like Aretha comes once in a lifetime. Wrong again Aretha has hit extremely high notes in full voice. She hit a B5 and it sounded like it was in full chest. No joke.

@TheQueenAretha you seriously are deluded, aretha franklin does not have nowhere near the highest chest voice in music are you insane, i never said she didnt have a powerful voice, just saying its not the most powerful, never said she wasnt gifted either, can you actually read? u have just repeated yourself in every message. show me the video or audio of aretha hitting b5? show me a video that areetha holds a note longer than 15secs? dont ever try and bring whitney into this.
chesneysimon 1 year ago
@chesneysimon You can't not stop facts. Aretha does have the highest chest voice out of any other woman. A range of G2 to D6 live. No matter what you say, facts are facts. She has one of the most powerful voices in music. Aretha has hit tons of B5s both live and on record. The B5 i am talking about is one a song called As Good To Me As I Am To You, she hits a powerful B5 when she saids "Sold Me". Aretha was never into doing long notes. She never found a use for them. It had nothing to do with

@TheQueenAretha no she does not, if you wanna talk about whitney, who actually does have the strongest chest voice in music, u need to come with your facts, once again you fail to coherenntly understand what i am saying, i DID NOT say her voice wasnt powerful. do you know aretha? she never found a use for them? how do u actually know this at all, really how? you wanna speak about notes, and her lack of ability to sustain them has a lot to do with being a good vocalist.
chesneysimon 1 year ago
@chesneysimon Whitney doesn't have the highest chest voice in music. Aretha does. Whitney's doesn't have Aretha's range or power in her upper range. The highest note Whitney has hit is a A5 live, and she did that once. Aretha has hit so many A5s both live and on wax it makes no sense. Aretha has hit a belted D6! Whitney hasn't come close to hitting that in chest. As much as i love Whitney. Aretha is the best singer and vocalist. Aretha was never into long note. She had no use for them........

@TheQueenAretha do not ever insult whitney houston by comparing her range in any register to aretha franklin, who vocally is completely superior to whitney in every way possible, whitney houston is internationally recognised as being the greatest singer alive, if you wanna compare the ability of both these women iv got aretha singing at her best and whitney at her very best comparison videos, aretha does not stand a chance against whitney.
chesneysimon 1 year ago
@chesneysimon Is it an insult because it is the truth. Aretha has the greater range. Both low and highest. Aretha's range is bigger. Whitney is not the greatest singer alive. The Greatest Ever is Ella and the Greatest Singer Alive is Aretha Franklin. When they think about the Greatest Aretha comes to mind. Aretha at her best is the better singer. Aretha doesn't give anyone a chance. She is a vocal beast.

@TheQueenAretha If you want to talk music technique there are many singers that control their voice far better than Aretha ever did, Whitney , Mariah , Celine , Patti, Leona and countless opera singers. You thinking she is the greatest singer is OPINION , not fact.
Matty3Mite3 1 year ago
@Matty3Mite3 Wrong Wrong, Wrong, a 100's times wrong. Aretha is better vocalist than Mariah, Celine, Patti, Leona and any other vocalist you pull out of your ass. Aretha had on of the best techiniques in music back in her prime. Not only is she a great vocalist but she is an amazing singer. The only singer that is greater than Aretha is Ella. Aretha trumps WH, MC, LL, and without a doubt CD in terms of musicianship. It is not an opinion Aretha is the Greatest Singer of All and that is FACT!!!
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@TheQueenAretha The fact that you just attempted to explain a vocalist as something different to a singer goes to show you know absolutely nothing about technique. Yes Aretha is incredibly soulful, and has an amazing voice , but it's natural , her technique is actually very sloppy. Mariah, Leona , Whitney , they could all hit notes Aretha couldn't attempt in her dizzyest daydreams. Stop forcing your opinion onto others, it's not law.
Matty3Mite3 1 year ago
@Matty3Mite3 You obviously doesn't know the difference between a vocalist and a singer. A singer is greater than vocalist. What makes a great singer great is there musicality, phrasing, interpretive ability, sense of rhythm and timing. Aretha has all of that and she does it better than everyone except Ella. Aretha's technique is not sloppy, she has one of the best techniques in music and she is a better vocalist than MC and Leona put together.
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@Matty3Mite3 And you got it fucked up, it is themthat can't hit all the notes Aretha can. Aretha has belted out a D6, rarely anyone singer has done that. And the highest WH and Leona can go in chest is A5. Aretha has more range than them both in lower and upper registers.

Aretha is the most respected woman in music and every singer in this industry sites her as their influence. Mariah and Whitney both site her as the reason they got into singing.

@TheQueenAretha so sad to see a legend go fat fat fat..mobidly obessed Google says.. She so poor she can't afford a stylist worst dressed Google Says... Heath Problems Google says Naw she got off her son smelled of gas when figher fighters arrived Google says.They felt sorry for her.. lmao Chile please never in your life come for Patti

@realness6940 Google this Patti looks like the green goblin from spiderman. Aretha has stated herself that she is in a great bill of health, her blood pressure is normal and she doesn't have diabetes, and she is losing weight so she keep it like that. Like i said before, Aretha makes way more money a year than Patti ever has. The royalities Aretha makes enough alone is more money than Patti will ever see..

@realness6940 I don't know what the fuck you are reading but if Google said that shit then that shit is untrue. You sound like a damn retard, i know the factsa and everything you are saying is bullshit just like Patti's voice, bullshit!
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@realness6940 And to hell with Patti's show and cook books that shit is irrevelant to what we are talking about. Aretha didn't burn her house down, and if she did tell me why she got the house rebuilt in the same exact spot. Aretha doesn't have to worry about money, what Aretha makes on royalities along is more than what Patti has made in her life. And so ever talk about money because Aretha make way more money than Patti.

@TheQueenAretha And you are just mad because you know what i say is true. Patti doesn't know how to sing her way throught a paper bag all she can do is scream.

@TheQueenArethalmao Chile please Aretha is so fat she can't even fit on a plane. They have to bus her around..she claim she just scared she can't fit in the damn seat.. She so fat she can't even wipe her own ass..When she was at Luther Funeral she was so out of breath..on the Mike she could'nt sing..or even hold notes
realness6940 1 year ago
@realness6940 Bitch please, the reason Aretha has fear of flying. Bitch don't come on here making but lies. You just worry about Patti looking like a drag queen. And i know you are like because when Aretha sung at Luther's funneral her voice was in great shape. Bitch get the fuck out of hear with all this shit. When you don't have to make up lies than you talk to me but other than that fuck off.

@TheQueenAretha oops firefighters... google says..lolz they felt sorry for her fat desprate ass..she could sing back in the days...thats why they donated her poor ass a house..in the same spot..how you doin..
realness6940 1 year ago
@realness6940 Aretha could sing back in the day and can still sing her ass off today. She is still a far better singer than Patti ever will be. Patti is nothing but a screamfest. And get this shit right, nobody donated Aretha a damn thing, number one that house that got burned, Aretha wasn't living in it,she just owned it. And no one donated shit to Aretha, she had the house rebuilt. Aretha makes more money than you and Patti together. No one needs to feel sorry for Aretha.
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@TheQueenAretha lmao oh Aretha looks like she is sweating up a fest..you should take her back to the zoo and feed her first.. let her shit... climb in and wipe her ass..you know she can't wipe her own ass right?? tooo fat... and then hose that whale off..ROTFLMAO Don't hate on Patti..
realness6940 1 year ago
@realness6940 You can't talk about taking Aretha to the zoo when Patti looks like a comic book villian. Patti looks like a female version of the green goblin.

@medene Mariah nearly worthships her. Get real bitch. Patti has had a 5th rate career. Aretha is a legendary and what she did for music will go down in history. Patti hasn't did shit that could compare to Aretha. Patti is a hot ass mess, Aretha is a Queen. Get that right bitch. Aretha and Whitney are legendary! Voices like Aretha and Whitney will never leave this world. Whitney future is bright and Aretha place as music's most respected singer is still standing strong.
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
Lastly! If Aretha has anything she has her passion, conviction and and gift of interpretation. Qualities Patti alwayed lacked. Patti is a joke. So make jokes about Ree's sizes but remember this PATTI IS TRASH COMPARED TO ARETHA a Teasure. She has done more for the art of music than Patti could ever imagine. Don't ever in your life come on here and compare that mess to Aretha!

@TheQueenAretha blah, blah, blah - stop sucking Aretha's Mammie Breast for a while and realize that she does not have the vocal range, creativity, stamina, strength or clarity that Patti does...she is a great singer don't get me wrong, but as of late she has become FAT, STANKY AND LAZY while singing...her song at the Presidents Inaugural was a lazy sounding Pork filled rendition of what she sang
medene 1 year ago
@medene Why don't you get real with your fucking self. Aretha still has an amazing range, and she has more creativity than Patti ever had. Patti is no creative, not at all! Aretha is a musical genuis, she is a song writter, pianist, producer, arranger, she has done it all. And Patti doesn't have Aretha clarity, she is just a nasally mess. Aretha is THE BEST. Patti ain't shit! She might is an ugly, screaming, DRAG QUEEN!
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@medene Talk about Aretha weight all you want be remember, Aretha is royality, Patti is a servant. Barrack would have never picked that screeching crow to sing at the Inaugural, no one deserved to sing for him more than Aretha. Her music was one of the leading voices of the Civil Rights Movement.
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@TheQueenAretha ...Patti is the best and by the way I highly doubt that anybody would began singing just because of Aretha's tons of fun! LOL! Also tell yo mammy Aretha to put her big ass tits away at award shows, nobody wants to see those jugs!
medene 1 year ago
@medene Patti is not even close to being the best. Just because she is loud and oversings everything doesn't mean a thing. Aretha is better on every level. Aretha is the reason many singers sing today because of what she gave off, emotion, conviction and passion. Not only was she a great voice but she was a great singer. Patti wishes she she could get invited to an award show. Patti has alway had a 5th rate career.

I must say, Franklin sang the hell out of the song during this performance. She actually took us to church a little.
