I loved Aretha's look here. She had just turned 50 from this clip.

[ChiqueRecords]

There are 2 people without ears :-)

[Isospinsymmetries]

I love you Aretha.

[MrRocky9000]

Her voice is a miracle !

[TheQueenAretha]

@billyboylb Look i know you love Babra, i love her too but give credit where credit is due.

[billyboylb]

@TheQueenAretha I really love Aretha...this just wasn't one of my favorite performances of hers.....What I love is her version of the Nessum Dorma she did on the Grammy's several years ago. That one blew me away. She really is amazing.

[TheQueenAretha]

@billyboylb No hard feelings, this is Barbra songs and no one does it like Babs.

[pmjhns]

@billyboylb That one blew me away, too. I just really saw it a couple of weeks ago 'cuz I wanted to be able to understand the Italian first. It took me a couple of wks to learn the Italian. And, l don't think anyone around da 'hood realizes how amazing that performance really was. No one ever talks about it. (Oh, I'm from GI, that's Gary,IN - same as Michael Jackson).

[billyboylb]

@pmjhns I saw that performance when it first aired. When they announced Aretha would be stepping in for Pavorotti I was amazed. But her talent really transcends the type of music she sings and the music is so great it transcends to different types of artists.

[Ratseno]

She said her voice wasn't awake.....seriously? That was amazing!

[tifannyfallen]

amo este tema!!

quiero el pelo asi! ajaj como hago :P (el peinado)

[BalthasarMA]

Isn´t she gorgeous ? The best voice to ever be recorded in my opinion.

[fernandezdecepeda]

MAGIC MOMENT

[SHARRAH2008]

0:53 - she sings like a butterfly dances in the wind!

[jaquen1977]

She looks so beautiful here, perhaps the best I've ever seen her look.

[GospelAccording2ME]

HA! You said it...she is surely playing that piano.

[hopenhappiness]

wow..the best ever

[GretaMargot]

she is the only one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cotownsfinest]

Beyonce's Rendition > Aretha's Rendition....Sorry.

[TheQueenAretha]

Beyonce did a nice job with this song but to say that it's greater is outragous. Beyonce sung the song just like Barbra did. While Aretha did it her way. Giving off a very intimate and soulful performance.

[70sbaby80schild321]

I notice that Beyonce and Barbra had similar vocal range. They are both mezzo-sopranos.

[TheQueenAretha]

Aretha is also a mezzo-soprano, actually Aretha and Beyonce are both dramatic mezzos. I'm not sure about Barbra.

[70sbaby80schild321]

According to research and observation, Barbra is a mezzo-soprano. Aretha, Barbra, Beyonce, the old Whitney, are all mezzo-sopranos.

[islezeus]

@70sbaby80schild321 old whitney could go really high in her head voice... i think she was higher than a mezzo

[johnathandoe]

I wanna know what srack you smokin. Beyonce couldnt fart better than Aretha.

[ljcpanda]

Much better than Beyonce did!

But I still like the original performance.

[thesoulofbass]

fantastico, un sogno...!

fantastick like a dream

[swisstutorgirl]

simply awsome soul

[eugenehilter09]

her voice is truely a dream

[taurusnbr1]

Wait, is this the only time she sings this song? I know this is originally from barbara streisand but does aretha have any album or some sort of recording of her singing this song? I've heard many ppl sing this song and aretha gives this song justice goddamn it, she's beautiful. I would pay anything to hear her sing this whole song.

[metallicabrown]

Thats cool. most of her videos are there Thanks for that

[sidesixx]

Hey you should upload that on her fan network on Muzu TV - at least she would see it :D

[mareashapiro]

the guy is crawling to fix the mic ahaha just before she says..memories for the first time hahaha

[DJPashn]

You're kidding me. That is the best voice ever.

[largefut]

i was in the audience that day!

[thatway302]

Damn, the Queen is amazing. Her voice and the piano are exquisite...Was Donahue playing earlier also?

[johnathandoe]

It it humanly normal to sing this way. She has the voice of an angel.

[CKB1987]

U wish you had a voice like that don't you? You must be a broke worthless trashbag that has to brag about themselves, LOL I feel sorry for! But anyways sing Aretha! She is really talented

[manonfire17]

[CKB1987]

long story

[manonfire17]

[CKB1987]

if wanna know hit me up

[lboee495]

There will never be another Aretha!

[Lonativ]

love Aretha. love the song, but more the Rosemary Clooney version.

[Pacabelle]

Totally agreed! I think Rosemary Clooney's version of this song is my favourite (after the original). I hope someone will put up Clooney's version of THE WAY WE WERE. We don't often hear Rosie's singing these days.

[Gummfan]

I have that on cd, but don't know if there exist on video.

[lezlic]

She knows how to make you feel a song! Sang Aretha!

[KEEEBLE]

[charlottexpaulette]

[shonuff2good]

Don't you just love that piano intro?...very nice piano chords and melody.

[shonuff2good]

Listening to her play the piano and sing this song her way is such a treat...what a precious gift. Had she finished the entire song i probably would have simply melted to the floor...lol

[Willowde]

It's a shame how good she is. I LOVE REE!

[johnathandoe]

The Best Voice That ever came along this eARTH. I Freakin Love this Woman's Voice So So Much.

[stillwill2]

SING, ARETHA.

[PattiHolte]

Love it!

[MrStyle]

Just wonderful!

[freeman1]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!1

[rmaslow]

She's always best when she accompanies herself on piano. Aretha does not get enough recognition as a very cool pianist.

[Greyliner]

Beautiful performance by Aretha circa early 1990s. This is the sort of chestnut that Aretha could flip, turn, and milk for its warmth, grace, and purity. Go Lady Soul!

Lloyd

[iosiio]

Why she didn't continue to sing that song?I love this clip!

[TheRealAngelHeart]

1990 - she was beautiful!

[kema3000]
