As much as I love Aretha and respect her attributes to the music industry, I must confess that this is a HAWT mess. It just drags on and on and that little male feature she injected it towards the end of the song, was a bad move. You can barely recognize the melody of what pertains to the original version. Keyshia Cole's version was way more soothing and emotive than this. I can't...
I saw Aretha in concert and she claimed this song it's Keyshia's song (One of her best) but Aretha claimed and and sang it with so much emotion that you would have thought it was hers. Believe me she sang it alot better when she was here in Baltimore.
Keyshia Cole is probably honored that "THE QUEEN" Aretha Franklin is singing her song, but Keyshia's version has more pain and soul, Arethas Version wasn't that much like Keyshia's Version.
@codyrudeself I so hope that rumor that rumor is true about Keyshia writing a song for rere for her new album! Cuz u can't deny KC songwriting skills.
I've always heard Aretha Franklin sing the lyrics "I love you", but damn... when she sang "i hated you"... it had so much power to it! She carried so much strength with it and then she went right back to singing beautifully as she told the song's story. Only a Queen can tell a song's story like that.
On my bucket list, I included seeing Aretha sing live and I did get to see her in February 2008. When she sang this song she had everybody feeling what she felt because we were crying our hearts out with Aretha. I love the Queen
Her phrasing is soooo sick so so sick she kills this and needs to record it. She doesnt follow the rhythm, She Is rhythm. She says I Hated You! Deep inside! Aretha is sick wit it!
damn! this doesn't make any sense how talented this lady is at her age now and how long she's been doing this . i'm just glad i was fortunate to see her twice . she's truly amazing!!!!!!!
My favorite part is at 1:48 when she says " I think I need to leave this alone." I Love her version of this song. I am sure Keysha Doesn't know she sang this. Aretha needs to go'one head' & Cut an album where she remakes some of todays songs. Like This, & her version of "Touch My body" I have that one on my page. Check it out!!
i love this version better than keyshia aretha should record this i like keys version but this has more pain in it and i love that her vocals change through the years becuz now it sounds like a woman that been through it all her voice sounds like pain it always has shit idk wat im talkin' bout any ways i love this version takes it 2 the next level i wish that guy wasn't in the video though
Go Aretha, she has experience more heartbreak than most and she sang it in her own way. Keyshia knows that if Aretha sings it then it is a great song.
I love the way Aretha hears new music on the radio and immediatly decides that she will give it her own interpretation. She is still current and can still just flat foot sing!
I agree that Keyshia is probably honored that Aretha would sing one of her songs. But to be honest I don't think she did the song justice! Keyshia sings it with such passion that it makes me cry almost every time I hear it!
keyshia have inproved on her vocals u can tell from listening to her now from back in 05 and mary was the same way... she started out rough around the edges and then they grow... so ur entitled to ur opionion and i respect that.....
yah cuz she's such a great singer lol (see 'his eye is on the sparrow live' by keyshia). keyshia has some great lyrics and some good songs but nothing she sings is 'for her only' because her voice is so borderline wack...sorry
i think keyshia should only sing this song... lol she tried tho it just didnt pull me in tho... and its funny when she says i think i should leave this alone.. no disrespect but let keyshia do it....
Maybe you're right only keyshia! But Frankly, THE QUEEN is 66 and what a challenge to sing this R&B song with such an intensity!! These ohohhhhhohOH ahhhhhh, yeahhhhhhh, remmmmmmmember! Just soulfully with versatile voice!
I'm sure Keyshia is honored that Aretha would think about doing one of her songs. its a testament to good writing skills. The lyrics are great and you have to admit that the new approach Aretha gives it takes it to another level. It's ok to like both versions, it takes nothing away from Keyshia.
aretha franklin kill it shes great singer I love her voice on this song onething aretha franklin when she sang any song shes makes. her own like she origineley sang it she smash it keyshia cole she is not all that great of a singer shes needs vocal lessions im trying to be rude I like keshia cole for believing and family but her vocals is not that strong to me
I disagree, if you were there like I was when she performed it live in Washington DC, you would have forgotten that Keyshia Cole did this piece because Aretha sang it like it was hers, it made the audiance very emotional (even the men were in tears) Hopefully she will release this song on a future project.
Aretha cooked on this one. So much soul and one has to wonder where she finds in the suprisingly differnet material she chooses. This would be a winner for her to re-record/

Aretha is just playing aroung with this but I would love to hear her record this and just slow it down and make it hears and pour her heart OUT!
