Aretha Franklin Wonderful acapella montage

[margarida179]

Maravilhosa e linda como sempre!

[SOULINTEGRITY]

SUPERB

[occhinocciola3976]

Non a caso la lady soul è definita un soprano drammatico d'agilità. Da brivido !!

[MrIJUSWANNALISTEN]

i wanna know who's singing back up

[NuNuBrazil]

Outstanding! She is the Queen!!!

[1Chantellz]

Everyone pray for Aretha Franlkin, she had surgery for ancreatic cancer. I know Vanessa Bell Armstrong is going to be shaken by this. She is one of her favorite singers.

[scratchnandsurvivn]

This is my girl!! and I am finally going to see her live at Radio City..I cannot wait!! Me and The Queen in one room.. catfish and grits..just wonderful!!!

[uncoverbrother]

i loved this album.  many great songs.

[SHARRAH2008]

what does she say there??!!  --> 3:07

[journey344]

@SHARRAH2008 six feet two know what the thing you do......

[PauliusBa]

I have how she sings after 1970's with her stupid head voiced coordination. Until 1970, she was so brilliant - just look up Shoop Shoop Song. True singing and no bullshit.

[RUCrazee2]

Her voice may have changed but the depth of emotion is still there. That indescribable inner quality and musical intellect that drives her delivery is always there which still makes her better than most current so-called divas. The queen is still on her throne!

[oneloveatatime]

@RUCrazee2 I couldn't have said it better myself.........WELL  SAID!!!!!

[tallwonder]

aretha is great. no one can argue that her vocie has gotten very raspy and deep from smoking, however what makes her the queen is that she still sounds great. not the same, but great.

however when she sings her old songs, she sounds like crap. no offense, but when she she sings new things it sounds sooo good.

i love her

[antiann52]

ARETHA CAN SCAT!!!!! DANG, you learn something new everyday! well, well

[chochief]

this rocks

[mac48203]

...and how many of there young teenie boppers have raw vocal skill like this Queen? NOT Many...I could count them on one hand...lol...Aretha is still amazing after all there years!

[oneloveatatime]

true dat

[ytertyu]

of course ,,,some average , musically talentless fucks will try  to say Mariah , Celine , Whitney , or some other singer is better than ARETHA ..but they are just average fucks , and have no business messing with THE QUEEN !!

[stage7]

I'll say 'this'! JUST because a person can 'maneuver' their vocal techniques well, doesn't mean that they can 'SING'! You have to know what to DO with those things, and WHEN. Otherwise, you're JUST makin' 'noise'! And you lose context! You may LIKE Celine, or, Mariah, and tha's OK! But they have NO business even being comPARED to Aretha even at her 'worst'! She has SHOWED us how it's done, and 'THEY' had their chance against her...unsuccessfully! Aretha 'IS' Singing.

[jabrilhasan]

I-I-I-I-I-I-I Think she's wonderful.

[oneloveatatime]

me too, thanks for your kind words

[tfurtado54]

@jabrilhasan

My thoughts exactly. Aretha is definitely wonderful.

[aryvalero]

[parrishgrady]

Thanks for posting this. I never heard it before. Loved it. I posted it on twitter, in answer to a twitted question: "Who is your favorite R&B singer of all time? Gotta give this one to her for sure. @EKPG if you wanna follow me or @capitolrock @bobbykidd @DJAMAYAOFFICIAL @wendysheperd for some great updates on entertainment if you'd like

[aryvalero]

[mujaahid123456]

ARE U OUT YOUR DAMN MIND

[raul7193]

no, and just in case i'mnot saying she is bad , i'm just saying celine 's voice is better, although my fav is mariah, so don't judge me cause even though i adore mariah, i amdit celine is better than her and even than aretha.

[Legend09127]

Just gotta love this woman brilliant A++++

[MBen89]

well dude, I am sorry to say this but it's a retarded thing ur doing. u replied after a year. a lot has changed since then, I used to hate Aretha, now I love her, so I can't actually argue and diss her now can I???? anyways ....

[MBen89]

Crackhead??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA wow I am talking to an elementary School's failure hahahahah well dude, NUMBERS TALK. all I care about is that Celine Dion sang the 2nd most powerful ballad of all time and is the best-selling female pop artist up till now, so you can go fuck yourself and spin on it bitch

[drunkenpossum1]

please tell me where you found this

[NoRegretsStr8Up]

i think patti is better. why is she a diva over patti ot gladys???

[eamcas67]

Check out Melinda Doolittle's cover of this.

It is very good.

[fernandezdecepeda]

Anyone knows the name of this song? Is so amazing... :)

The song is called "Wonderful" it's from the "So Damn Happy" album......

[Sexililjanet]

[imhappywithmyself]

[stage7]

Yo! Aretha has ALWAYS scatted and has done it for YEARS! She's even got a song that is NOTHING 'BUT' scatting from an earlier album. The song is called 'Mumblin'! She's TEARIN' IT UP!!!!!!! Find it, and check it out. The same album with "Touch Me Up"! on it!

Once seen her carry ON with this AWESOME scatter in a scat conversation! It was BANGIN' AND funny!

LOVE the QUEEN!!!!!!

[imhappywithmyself]

[mujaahid123456]

[EmpressMahalia]

Great stuff! Have any acapella stuff from earlier in her career??

[oneloveatatime]

Hi Empress, no I dont have any other acapella of the QUEEN except for Aretha Franklin Acapella mix it should appear in the menu channel under "related videos" Aretha is the ultimate isn't she?

[EmpressMahalia]

haha, no worries, thanx for the reply! Long LIVE the QUEEN!! We're still in the 'Age of Aretha' ya'll!

[djmatar2i]

WONDERFUL !!!

[lovelyat44]

Absolutely beautiful

[patricia181206]

perfeita essa montagem voçê está de parabéns, pois essa música é linda. kiss

[bigeman25]

I respect most singers, but there has been only one Aretha Franklin and I believe her to be one of the greatest singers to have ever sang on this planet.

[UserP]

I Love this Song

[free2bfierce]

She is BY FAR the most OVERRATED voice/singer EVER! I can't stand it! Queen of soul? Queen of my ass! And her opinion of herself! I'm not sure which is bigger.. HER or her ego!

[MBen89]

I can't agree more ;)

[taddyd1]

Why do Whitney, Barbra and Mariah all recogonize her has the Queen, fool? You know more than them, huh? This song was nothin for Aretha!

[free2bfierce]

Because they're probably her friend and know that if they piss her off and don't stroke her ego by calling her the queen of soul.. she'll eat them!!

[MBen89]

well FOOL, it's matter of taste, get the logic? I prefer Patti Labelle than Aretha. I didn't say she is bad, I agreed with the person who said she was overrated. AND, isn't Mary J.Blige the queen of Hip-Hop?? That doesn't make her any better. I also agreed that she has ego, and tries to outsing everyone on stage. so next time, read the comments well before you act all heroic and stuff behind your screen

[taddyd1]

"Queen of my ASS" "the most overrated by far"

etc and you couldn't agree more. My reply makes perfect sense. Read it again and read what you agreed with. Patti got down on her knees in front of the President Clinton and a huge TV audience and said "you are my idol" to AF. What'd you say,FOOL?

[MBen89]

oh really? since when do we relate singing talents to politics you FOOL?, and just bcoz Patti did that doesn't mean Aretha is better. Mariah Carey idolized Minnie Ripperton too, and guess what, Mariah blows her in the water, she can sing higher, she's more famous, and sold more albums than Minnie or Aretha or even Patti could ever dream of. and FYI, I never specified what I agreed to, ok? so don't call ppl fool unless u know what they did was foolish.

[taddyd1]

Who mentioned politics? Maybe I'm expecting to much logic from one who is just learning English? Is English your 2nd language? Keep it simple: A tired queen like you does not have the authority to contradict the well documented opinions of: Quincy, Elton, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Dionne, Chaka, Whitney, MLK, the Beatles, Paul Simon, Diana Ross, Streisand, Mariah, Whitney, Ray Charles, Mary J, Patti L etc...........................

[MBen89]

hahahaha look at you, babbling about your opinion being always right. let me tell u something grandpa, I am not a girl, that's number one, and number two, English IS my first language wether u like it or not, AND number three...your ego is way too much, that it's leaking outta your asshole. Just bcoz u say something doesn't mean it is true and the same goes for me, why doen't u go get a life and perhaps write a will.

[taddyd1]

In a debate one sites expert sources, as I have. You only have that ytube moron that you "completely agree" with ( do you understand the word: completely?/entiende la palabra:compleltely ?) to support you feeble contentions. Now AF's "good"? Do you understand the word: logic? Never mind Benita, your poor young brain must be rotted out from listening to too much Celine. So sad!

[MBen89]

1st of all, don't show us that u r multicultural or whatever by using so many languages...it's already sad enough that u suck at spelling in ENGLISH. and look? I never said Celine Dion was beautiful, she is almost 40, yet she still has a VERY high range and she sings in 4 languages (English, French, Spanish, and Italian), AND she got to mentain her looks and body...we r not discussing shapes here, we r discussing Charisma and vocals

[taddyd1]

YOU were discussing looks! Joan Baez sings in 20 languages and has a wider range than CD, big deal! BTW: One doesn't describe a singer's voice as "high ranged" Aretha's been credited as having 4 octives, but all singers' PR seem to stretch the truth on that one. CD is a critical light weight, she's not even in the same galaxy as Queen Aretha!

[MBen89]

oh yeah? is that why Celine dion has more fans and her concerts are already sold-out when the world tour haven't even started yet?? wow!! u lack logic dude, I bet u r either still single or divorced bcoz no one can live in harmony with u. I've seen some comments on ur channel, and it seems a lot of ppl would agree with me...i'll say it once again, I will say whatever I want whenever I want to, if u don't like that...u can go get raped or something

[MBen89]

heheheh I gotta admit, that was so fun. that we got to share our views, don't u agree? btw...I am sorry I was rude, it's just that I have some anger management issues, but u r older than me and i should have respected u

[taddyd1]

I appreciate opinionated assholes like myself.

Stick to your guns! No hard feelings but the

personal attacks like the one you initially agreed with on Re are boring! You had to see Aretha in the 60s and 70s to fully appreciate her voice and singing. On that Diva show I did think Celine was in the best voice, but her song selection, and style of singing was a joke! Aretha's voice has been severley diminished since the 8os, but her phrasing is still awesome.

[taddyd1]

If you want "voice" listen to Baez or Leontyne Price sing Ave Maria compared to CD's Lounge version! Josh Grobin choose 1/2 his songs from Baez's Noel, A Billboard #2 lp that has never been out of print sinc 1966.

And Baez's Oh Holy Night in the original French, who is Celine?

[MBen89]

and if u were smart enough...u would have noticed that I save all sorts of videos...not only Celine Dion's, get it? or r u still slow? LIVE WITH IT....Aretha is good but not as good as Celine, or Patti, or Mariah. choke on that fact

[taddyd1]

They all bow to her and your must too or you will punished! Ignorance is no excuse in the eyes of the law. Mariah Carey ordered: " All Hail the Queen" Repent or suffer!!! Celine is Ms Vegas with her dreary repetoire of pop shlock is harldy a 25x Grammy Winner and Grammy Legend selected by Time Magazine as one of the 100 most influential persons (not musicians but persons, along with Einstien, Edison and Piccaso) of the century! Get real, princess.

[taddyd1]

Dion's attempt to claim all-time greatest selling female singer is highly suspect as well! Maybe for Canada. Sales is hardly a sign of quality anyway. Janet Jackson, Britney Spears, and Maddonna all compete on that playing field-what an honor! Go listen to ONLY Ella for a couple weeks AND GET YOUR TASTES OUT OF THE GUTTER.

[MBen89]

well FOOl, that's why I kept those two videos in my video log, so ppl can see that "American" media claimed she was the best selling female artist of all time....get over it, and plz get a life. but I gotta thank u for one thing....making me laugh so hard about saying Mariah said so..who is Mariah? just bcoz she said so doesn't make her god. AND FYI, Celine stayed in Vagas for more than 5 years and performed every single day, yet "for some reason" the show always sold out, does that ring a bell?

[taddyd1]

Mariah is the one you listed as a favorite. I have seen Madonna, Streisand( you know the one that CD constantly impersonates rather than sings) and Carey all claim the biggest seller ever tag! Vegas is the armpit of American music.

No great singers have ever liked Vegas. The audience eating and drinking throughout a show is hardly an ideal setting for MUSIC! It's fabulous for the Rockette type shows like those that Celine and Cher give though.

[MBen89]

well, we all know that Madonna is a stupid bitch, but Streisand...I thought u Americans claimed her to be a legend....u see...even Celine idolized her, but in reality...celine kickes her ass. Mariah is the best selling female artist in the 90's

[taddyd1]

If Aretha's good, quit completely agreeing with idiots who profanely disparage her. There are severe penalties for disRESPECTing The Queen. You might be caste off to a desert island with only those awful corny Celine recordings to listen to.

[MBen89]

Corny? well at least those "corny" songs got her to the top and made her the best selling female artist. I started to doubt that u have a crush on Aretha....get over her sister...check the pics at 00:52, 01:53, and 02:10...she is as scary as fuck, so sister...get YOUR taste outta the gutter, Celine has more hits than Aretha does...face the fact u r on your own. and I wouldn't have been rude if u didn't call me fool first

[taddyd1]

Dion is hardly what one call a looker! But I thought we were dicussing music. Jessica Simpson must be on the top of your list by those standards: sales and looks. You young farts are So Deep in your musical tastes! Pretty and video ready are your main qualifications obviously. And your wonderful youth encourages you do make cruel comments about a singer's physical appearance? Dumb and Mean - what a combination!

[MBen89]

and EWW Man, u have a very bad taste. Jessica loks like a rat, yet she kinda has a talent. see, I like all sorts of artists, unlike u old dumbo. listen to me sister..I am not one of those stupid young emos who like rock and rap, I was brought up on classical and pop music. that's why I like Aretha, but I still think she is overrated...do u get that word? oh nevermind sister..your poor old brain must be rotted too

[MBen89]

and no great singers like vegas?? but I thought u Americans considered Elvis GREAT. wow!!! there is contradiction in here...may u plz clear it up for me

[taddyd1]

Because Elvis was forced to sing there by Colonel Parker doesn't mean he liked it. Elvis is not my idea of a great singer, though many would disagree.

I would listen to Buffy Sainte Marie, Joni Mitchell, Anne Murray, Jane Siebery, Katy Lange, or even Alanis anyday over that vapid CD., who has good pipes, but rarely chooses

songs appropriate for her voice/style. I much prefer her French recordings to her "I wanna be Barbra English voice" singing those 2nd rate pop-crap Whitney songs

[MBen89]

u know what? this time, I kinda agree with u. she has a pretty voice but she is better than Barbra Streisand, and Whitney. I sing too, and if I ever make it to stardom...I would so sing Mariah's songs, not bcoz I wanna be like her but bcoz she is my second Idol after Celine.

[MBen89]

AND I forgot to mention a thing which is, even if I didn't like Aretha, which is not true, I am free to say whatever I wanna say. I am entitled to my own opinion. so u stick to your opinion and I stick to mine, get it?

[taddyd1]

I couln't agree more. I'm glad you're backsliding back to reality! As Mariah Says:

" All Hail the Queen". Makes you rather appear quote foolish to be agreeing more with the above hater and disagreeing with Mariah, Patti, and Mary J. Good for you, it's refreshing to see

somebody apologizing for their idiotic remarks!

[MBen89]

LOL u r more stupid than I imagined..I never apologized & I never will, I think u misunderstood my last reply..don't worry, it's the age factor...u r too old to understand such stuff.& do u think Mariah would say she is the best?!, of course she would flatter that Aretha Hippo.& what was that? "quote foolish"?? oh dear, where did u learn spelling or phrasing ur sentences? y don't u go learn more spelling then come argue with me. idiotic old scum..if u r gonna swear at ppl,get ready for the same.

[taddyd1]

Your writing stlye is nothing to boast about. Do you know the phrase "people who live in glass houses." Who swore at Patti? I love her as much as she loves Ree! Your rude derisions only expose your ignorance and jealousy! Don't worry you can still be the tired,bitter queen(small q) that you are, Ms Franklin doesn't want that type of title.

[taddyd1]

Any one who saves only Celine Dion ought to just shut-up when it comes to the discussion of great singing! How embarrassing!

[MBen89]

oh yeah? and who r u? Simon Cowell? Celine Dion is the best selling female artist of all time, so you OUGHT TO JUST SHUT UP, and FYI, we don't use a hyphen "-" when we write "shut up" get the logic crackhead? LMAO. Did u see when Celine kicked Hippo Aretha's ass on stage? Aretha with her big stomach couldn't even keep up with her. don't underestimate Celine....she is not Mariah, she is not that nice when it comes to fat space-shuttles trying to out-sing her.

[taddyd1]

your and idiot, go back and listen to your fat queen, Guilbert! Everybody who knows anything about music rate her the best!

[Ledhead323]

I'm surprised she did not collapse the stage. I wonder how many 'deep-fried catfish nuggets' she can fit into her mouth at one time.

[taddyd1]

you are a pig yourself

[taddyd1]

This creep listens to Gwenth Paltrow and Madonna! Deep!

[h2osaviour]

i think your wonderful aretha

[qwerty35313]

WHo be doin' Re-Re's Hair? She look a mess at times, but I love her singing.

[cliftonearl]

Qwerty35313, u really made me laugh today!!! Her hair should never look a mess being from Detroit. But, I have a feeling you can't tell her s'it!

[superhead123]

Wow she really sounds great here!See kiddies this is without machines to fix notes and such.

[BeautifulOnes876]

Hahaha, word.

[MrStyle]

That voice is great! Just listen to it! Whew!

[LouLou1355]

I love this song...

[Emeless]

The picture at 01:17 was taken at the concert in Cleveland at the Natica Stage in the Flats. I was there that night and boy did she perform! One of her best concerts she done in Cleveland. I could have taken this picture myself. Thanks for posting this montage of the song that won her another Grammy.

[Musique4life]

Great photos. Thanks for your expertise.

[toddarm2006]

I really like this song. Aretha is my favorite singer......

[stillwill2]

mine too, after patti.

[oneloveatatime]

Zebfan I think you are right, I think Aretha should do such a tribute, it would be great...Thanks for your comment

OneLove

[ZebFAN06]

some very fine scatting at the end. It would be neat if she did a tribute album to ella or something, and she did a lot of scatting, cause i think she is very good at it.
