The Greatest Soul Singers Pay Homage To Aretha Franklin LIVE

[jlofton73]

Tiana is the queen of Rock. Chaka is the queen of Funk. Patti is the queen of R&B. Mary J. is the queen of Hip-hop/R&B. Anita the queen of modern Jazz.

[ArchiducDeBelgrade]

Aretha first was Lady Soul, than The Queen of Soul, today people are just calling her The Queen. Love her to death. Greatest singer ever existed.

[vibing27]

Yall get on my damn nerves with comparing all these people and its usually always the black female singers. I don't ever see this ever on the white singers or any of the dudes. It's so sad. When you make some records and people start to buy then you may raise some valid points, Until, keep your damn mouths shut. These ladies have all contributed some way or form to music. Just leave it at that, just because you don't like how someone sounds, doesn't mean that they can't sing.

[thestaydown]

I love all these great women all you people arguing over this are bitches. plain and simple. get a life.

[Paapalapa]

People, there seems to be a lot of hatin goin on up in here!!!

Unless WE!!! can sing like any of them can we be qualified to pass judgement on any persons musical ability!!!

Lets just get over ourselves and move on!!!

Each of them are unique in their own way and in the musical genre that each has chosen to pursue in their carreer!

Lets celebrate their achievements and accolades for the betterment of the music!! Otherwise its just a waste of time and breathe commenting!!!

(Sorry.........)

[lovelynann]

i love aretha and glady the same

[PaulDA2000]

It's funny, I am a big James Brown fan, I also love Wilson Pickett and other soul singers but I never cared much for Aretha's voice or for Otis Redding;s voice, even though they are very talented.

[meatlman99]

One thing is that Aretha doesn't have to worry about anyones opinion because her legacy is secured her in this world why many of your corpses turn to dust. So, why not just simply enjoy whatever artist you wish. But it will never change one letter of the legacy of Miss Aretha Franklin.

[mmmfloorpie]

Methinks Patti is wearing a wig.

[chimney1993]

when she sang nessun dorma, i nearly died! :L

[ross5104]

i think patti is better than aretha vocally

[TheQueenAretha]

Patti is a hot ass mess. All she does is sceam, she is loud that is it. Aretha is vocally and musically better than her.

[sloansv]

WHo ever made Aretha Queen of Soul - Chaka is better, Angela Winbush was better, Lisa Fisher is better, And in that day there were many strong RnB diva's.

[mizzphatty2u]

i dnt completely agree, yes sfter her and during her time ther were contenders but she was basically the beginning of deep soul music after mahahlia jackson of course...u have to understand most of the legends when compared arent necessarily the best but they ARE the trend setters

[skyeman67]

Love Chaka's version of Dr Feelgood & Mary's Respect.

My favorite Live performances of Aretha are from the Duets TV special which I think was the early 90's When she sang I Never Loved A Man, and a performance from the seventies (in Paris??) she was at the piano singing Bridge Over Troubled Water she was really into it everything was spot on- SOUL she reminded me of a Panda her make up was smudged black around her eyes she was awesome.

Never seen her live - wish she'd come to the UK

[utbr01]

sang divas! it's soo awesome to hear chaka do aretha, awesome! wassup with the whitney diss? Patti & Mary rock...as usual! gr8 post!

[videocrack246]

0:15 - 0:18 is the best singing i have heard in my life!

best 3 seconds ever

[nerotenore]

Wait......I'm still wondering...why was Mary J. Blige added to this mix again?!?!?!

[AnitaArethaChakaMary]

Because she is the QUEEN u dirty homeless looking faggot, u will NEVER EVER be in the mix wit ya shitty ass WEAK voice.

[Lorenzodolor]

You've lost your mind...She isn't in this same category, if she is then Toni Braxton Should be. Mariah Carey's the best (after aretha)

[AnitaArethaChakaMary]

She is in EVERY category faggot, Phoni shitty man sounding ass will NEVER be and neither will a redneck who lip synchs and sells sex and whispers faggot. REAL SINGERS ONLY! NO POP ALLOWED!

[Lorenzodolor]

You're throwing around faggot so much, you might wanna find a nice guy for you to take out and relieve some of your tension. I can definitely argue about what a "real singer" is, and if it means anything about singing on key, Mariah's got Mary beat. If it's about emotion, that's debateable as they both convey great emotion in their song. I would also argue that because of MCs broader ranger she can texture the songs with more sounds and may convey greater emotion than Mary. Whitney sings Pop.

[AnitaArethaChakaMary]

Not on this planet earth faggot, Manriah has NEVER EVER moved a audience like Mary in a LIVE performance, why? Because she lip synchs faggot, ANYBODY can lip synch, Manriah has NO RANGE, she jus does dolphin screams faggot, Mary has more range than Manriah LIVE! Manriah is a STUDIO SINGER, she NEVER EVER sings LIVE and if she does, its a trick to it, Manriah has NO emotion at all, white people CANNOT sing and Manriah PROVES that everytime she step her half naked weird shaped body on stage.

[tierrasc]

that's a damn lie, mary is after aretha, mariah is one of those keri hilson type people

[AnitaArethaChakaMary]

Mary is before HENretha F@GG and thats why she is more successful than her and sold WAYYYYYY more records.

[Lorenzodolor]

Okay. It's pretty clear that you're some obsessed fan who's blown her talent WAY out of proportion. Everytime Mariah Sings Hero (like she did for the fallen Police officers in the 90's or when they called her to sing hero for 9/11...she moves audiences..NO RANGE? You're a cunt. She's got over 5 octaves, the most widely respected range in the industry. Mariah maybe part white, but that has nothing to do w/singing. Tierra, Mary isnt after Aretha. You guys need serious help. I wanna throw up on u

[AnitaArethaChakaMary]

Manriah is a AIRY voice redneck who relys on whistling, ANYBODY can whistle faggot, that aont shit. Where is Manriah soul? emotion? power? She has NONE, white people CANNOT sing and Manriah PROVES that, Mary will sing circles around Manriah and thats a FACT! Manriah is NOT known for her vocals,s he is only know for her sales and #1's and she wont go down in history for being a talented singer like Mary and Mary is the QUEEN, dont you forget it homo.

[Shutitdown5]

when sang ain't no way both times.. she brought the roof.. I love when her Mary pay tribute to an artist.. they just rip the song the to shreds and get an standing Ovation from all over

[Nablaft]

This is the BEST posting ever. Thanks

[gandhara496]

That's the one and only Chaka Khan!!!

[theysayicansing]

it's a trip how Pattie sings at all the others' tributes (especially the UNCF evening of stars tributes) but you didn't see any of them at hers.

shady....even knowing that Pattie has STILL got it unlike some of them

[sirdaviair]

They cant do her songs not thier fualt.

[brandonmachew3204]

Beyonce never said "The Queen of Soul TIna Turner" she said "The Queen" of which Tina Turner is a Queen of music in her own right.Tina Turner made hit records before Re.Aretha doesn't own the title "Queen" do we call Elizabeth Windsor the Aretha of England?do we go to the dairy Aretha for ice cream?id the next size down from king sized bed aretha sized? there are other women in music that are queens,Loretta Lynn Queen of country, Bessie smith Empress of the blues & Tina Turner aretha of r&r. lol

[strfruit]

lol! "dairy aretha" hahaha...your funny :-)

[jabrilhasan]

Lmao. Lmao. I love that comment. Lmao.

[TheQueenAretha]

Tina is not the queen of music. And Tina didn't have hits before Aretha, she only a minor hits while Aretha has 20 number hits. And Aretha does in many ways own the title queen and her queen title is the most famous. Now i am really tired of this Aretha vs Tina thing it has been a year get over it.

[sandrolondon]

is she out of her freaking mind?? Seriously, everytime she's on screen she's looking more and more ridiculous. What the heck is she wearing??? Doesn't she have a stylist? Or a mirror at least? She's good, yeah, but Pleaseeeeeee... Get a clue!!!y

[brandonmachew3204]

Hahaha. She looks like a cross between big bird and cookie monster.Lol. God love her, the hat she wore to Obama's inauguration was ridiculous too.

[theTeabag]

CHAKA LOOKS VERY GOOD

[cater2me1]

Mary sounded just like aretha on respect

[AnitaArethaChakaMary]

I know, thats one of the things I LOVE about Mary, she can channel ALL the old school GREATS and sound good doing it.

[dootiehole]

Speaking of voices like Aretha's where was Fantasia when they were putting this tribute together...or faith evans or kelly price?

[foxymidnite]

I thought I was the only one who noticed.

[dootiehole]

ummm..i'm sorry but this guy said there was no other voice like Aretha's;WTF???! I can name a few clones off the top of my head who come damn close:Anne Nesby,Kelly Price,Rosie Gaines.....Sometimes even Mary j and Faith evans.

[theBKway]

with in that era try Etta James they were kinda neck an neck but clive davis is a marketing genius. Not taking anything away from her cuz she just got a way of making any song her own.

[PrestonPowell]

Clive Davis really had nothing to do with Aretha's success in the 60s and 70s, that goes to Jerry Wexler who decided to sign her to Atlantic Records after she had a lackluster career at Columbia (Columbia tried to mold her into another Billie Holiday, and she really didn't know who she was as an artist during her run there). Jerry Wexler is responsible for her being so canonized today. Clive made her more into a Pop star in the 80s when she signed with Arista.

[justice000777]

Etta's downfall was heroin, not marketing

[stennerd]

don't mess with BEYONCE! She is good i LOVE aretha AND tina and what the heck this is about the music .. not about who calls who names... if tina is the queen of soul for beyoncé and for others aretha and for others Mary j so it be!

[TheQueenAretha]

Tina is not the Queen of Soul. She never earned that title. Aretha is the one and only Queen of Soul.

[dootiehole]

First off, Beyonce never called Tina Turner the queen of soul; she called her the queen of Rock&soul, which is a different genre, in which she is the undisputed queen. Mary J. is queen of hiphop/soul. Teena Marie is the queen of blue-eyed soul, and Aretha is the undisputed queen of all around, just plain out soul music. Nobody is trying to dethrown her! Hope this post clears up the confusion.

[rollsroycecooley1]

She just said the Queen, but Tina is the Queen of Rock and roll Patti has been called the Queenof Rockn'Soul

[darkbarbas]

and chaka khan queen of funk soul....

[AnghusLeon]

You absolutely right! Tina iS not the queen of soul she's the Queen of Rock and Roll

[chakasong]

Tina is the Queen of Rock 'n Roll!

[oneloveatatime]

I love this, thank you for posting it....

[Shutitdown5]

Why does at the end of the video it saids "Take that BeYawncey"??

[AnitaArethaChakaMary]

Because she called Tina Turner the Queen and Aretha didn't like that.

[thompsont908]

Love YA Mamma Franklin

[curiosoniceboy]

the real queen is in this vid aswell giving a kiss to patti just after aretha

[llmack]

DAMN I LUV DAT NOTE CHAKA DID 4:11 Dat was jus one of chaka hidden powers

[SoulSir]

Legendary vocalists of our lifetime speaking highly of Ree and her well deserve fame/career.

[italylovespatti]

Hi AnitaArethaChakaMary, dont'you think Miss Patti should be part of your name? LOL LOL

[AnitaArethaChakaMary]

I couldn't fit her name in.

[EmpressMahalia]

HAHAHAHA! Love the ending the best, LOL! I LOVED seeing Patti, Aretha AND Tina all within 5 feet of each other, THAT was neat.

[wsardin]

Hmmmm...very well produced. All hail The Queen, Ms. Aretha Franklin!!!!

[paddeyOmalley]

[AnitaArethaChakaMary]
