Aretha Franklin Tells Barack Obama To Shut Up

[irocknirvana]

wut an idiot....

[zep4141]

What's with the HUGE bow on top of her head?

[HooverBeast]

eww her singing is TERRIBLE.

[chrisvconnor]

Yeah, the whole inauguration is terrible.

[RockerMB87zim]

lol thats wierd. when we were watching this in class after sang she sang some idiot in my class got the american took and started running around with it.

[freemanx1011]

it sounds like an edit. dont even sound like the same voice. if you disagree then i will be ignorant as well. did you hear her say something about a big pink whale at the end? listen carefully.

[soulbrotha63]

What she is doing is using soulful phrasing. Many soul singers with gospel roots use it.

So, instead of: "Let it..."

it becomes: "Let it-TAH..."

[chrisvconnor]

No, she says turn up, referring to her ear volume. A real fuckup if you ask me.

[soulbrotha63]

No, chrisvconnor, she did not say "turn up". She put a soulful tweak on a word, exactly like I described. But there is no sense in arguing about this because people are going to hear what they WANT to hear.

[chrisvconnor]

nothing soulful about it. She was using a regular speaking voice.

still a fuckup no matter what you call it.

[vickeyk]

i have never heard a soulful tweak say "shut up" never!

[soulbrotha63]

And you still haven't. Because she did not say "shut up."

[stapelady]

She didnt tell him to shut up, they said it was some guy queing her in her ear to hurry up with the song. Ingorance strikes again.

[BriannProduction]

Maybe, maybe you're right. I gotta look it up, gagahah. But then I saw the 'SHUTUP' part, and it was so funnny !

[blkndabomb04]

oowwee Jealous.. LMAO

[StacyD13]

Clearly that wasn't her saying shut up, HER mouth was shut! There were a lot of people in the crowd talking though, how rude!

[BriannProduction]

Erm, she said "shut up". LMAO, pretty sure to Barack Obama too, because he was practicing his speech too LOUD.
