Has anyone seen Shoshana bean perform this? There is a specific part where she sings "so if you need me to love you, say, say you cause baby baby" and it goes on.
@BlazedHearts it can be found on youtube! haha. I know Shoshana bean is great. :) One heckkk of a singer. I love this performance, Aretha is such a great singer!! Man.
@LOLCOPTER I found it roughly 10 minutes after typing that comment. This partciular performance is just a more "soul" version than the original, i guess.
God bless good singers like Aretha. I wish people like Shoshana Bean were more popular, because the mainstream industry nowadays is filled with those who cant sing a tune to save their lives sometimes.
@BlazedHearts I totally agree with you. :) Music is getting crappy nowadays, I don't keep up with it, so I kind of stick out like a sore thumb because i'm only 19 and I'm already not keeping up with the trend. lol I love Shoshana, she's really good. And she acts really well too. Check out one of her fun performance, she performed a song called 'Greta' :) Hope you like it!
These were the days where people were NOT judged on there weight or looks. You didn't have to be a stick insect or look like a model. All you needed was a voice..... Aretha sure has the VOICE.
@MrDecal you'r rong there is a diffrence bettwen nickki and beyonce, alicia and jeniffer the all can sing accept nikki you'r so stupid didn't you think of kesha and rihanna and all the fake "singers" bitch beyonce jeniffer and alicia barely make songs because all the kids want fake "singers" ! you should take note !
My girl, my girl. This is real singing. I hear you, where are all the real singers. Some of these new girls on the seen can sing but listen to what they are singing.... I wouldn't by nothing Beyonce sings, except for the duet she did with Luther V., and her songs she did on Cadillac records. The girl can sing, but its to much ghetto singing. You in your mood and want to hear that special song what you you play? I know always got to go back to old school.
The new singers can't sing what they don't know anything about. Although there a few that can bring it and make you feel what they are singing down in your soul. Fantasia is one of them, look at her on youtube to Fantasia - Lady Marmalade - UNCF 2009 and you will see what I mean. I also like Rachelle Farrell. Nice Video.
@kmaur21 yes she did! and she didn't sound like mess she sounded beautiful except for the Eb5 that wen flat she was awesome and her scale up to Eb6 was magic she did show that she's a superstar vocalist
@nextceo2k2 I feel you. We got a few younger ones like Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, and Jazmine Sullivan, and Melanie Fiona but we only hear people like Rihanna on the radio.
@hornyaguilerafan take out beyonce and we got a deal ... i really dont think beyonce can cut it LIVE no backing track or ECHO to help her sound full or soulful not like Xtina Jhud or MIMI have shown the world they can do ... well mariah back in the day now shes all backing track lol
@nextceo2k2 Agreed. Some of these new singers sucks ass. No soul behind their music. Back then Aretha, Marvin, James Brown, and even rock groups like Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, etc... had soul and meaning behind their music. I miss that era.
@nextceo2k2 I ABSOLUTELY AND 100% AGREE WITH YOU. Soon, all of mainstream is going to forget what music is really about. They are going to forget these legends of the past. It is really sad.
@nextceo2k2 Well we didn't stand up and support real singers. I'm 24 and just as guilty because there are plenty of great singers who aren't mainstream out today. Buy/support real music
@MisterAAB1 She said 'Alright MISS Brenda' because the girl was knocking out that soprano background. She wasn't screaming, it was all very controlled. On the orginal track Cissy Houston who is Whitney's mom sang the background in soprano as well
@stueystu1 i'm sorry, did you say Shoshana Bean is a just a cabaret singer? It's fine if you think Aretha is better, but Shoshana is a huge Broadway star not just a cabaret singer. She's also a much better trained vocalist who will still have her voice when she's Aretha's current age because she knows how to take care of it... Aretha was the best of her time, but now I definitely would not want to listen to her sing live. I'll just stick to the old recordings and Shoshana's music.
Shame on youtube for not having a clear original version of this song . There "Ain't no way that Mary J.Blige outsings Aretha. The original is incomparable. Look the word up if you don't know what it means. I'm a Mary J.blige fan but seriously young ones...the original is TIGHT!
Even though her recorded version is above any one else's version, you cannot compare the Queen of Soul singing live - it is always a treat and goosebump inducing! I love hearing her sing!!
@BackToLaBelle Jealous of what exactly? Her screaming! Hell naw! Patti is not a Queen of anything and Aretha is no Princess. Aretha is The Queen and don't you ever forget it!
@BackToLaBelle BackToLaBelle Jealous of what exactly? Her screaming! Hell naw! Patti is not a Queen of anything and Aretha is no Princess. Aretha is The Queen and don't you ever forget it!

(I wish people would reserve their "criticism" of Aretha Franklin for people who REALLY deserve it, such as those crooks who played Wall Street like a casino mis-managed by Idiots Inc., L.L.C. and "SINGLE HANDEDLY" as a Gang Inc., made our economy what it is today.)
However, I would love for someone to upload the "ORIGINAL" version of this song.
The "angelic voice" of Carolyn Franklin (May 13, 1943 April 25, 1988) in the original version, added so much more this song.
@myConscious I agree Aretha does still have, but something changed about her voice in 1983 or 1984. From 1980-1982 she sounded like herself from the 60's and 70's. I think the smoking caught up with her. However her was still amazing! :)
Is it me or did Aretha's voice change in 1986 because it kind of sounded dry and hoarse. Because a few years before this she sounded like herself from the 60's and 70's. I dunno! Maybe its because she smoked cigarettes for years
To stueystu 1, Thanks for the reply ! I like the way Margie Joseph sings LETS STAY TOGEATHER ! On the second part of the song Margie sounds very much like a young Aretha ! ! !
Life is no joke, it is to be taken seriously. You and your friends go find you some toys and playmates around your age or younger and leave me the hell alone! You little irritable, blabber mouth!
Aretha Franklin you are truly a blessing from heaven, if she never sing another note she have done what today's singers wish that they could do, ain't no way
...so you get your silly ass in a sling and you want to alert the authorities. That's exactly what little irresponsible kids do when their mouth get them in something that they behinds can't get them out of. Make sure to tell them that you are an irritating nerd that loves conflict as long as everything goes your way. Tell them that you can't hold your ground and you need reinforcements. In the meantime, go screw yourself and find a life! You pathetic little blabber mouth!
The sad part is... you're actually taking this serious! OVER THE INTERNET! rotflmao, my friends and I have had a great laugh... seek professional help douche bag. LOL
I see why my mama threatened to put me outa the house when I said Mary J Blige sings better than her, she said I was commiting blasphamy, at the time I was feeling one of Mary's songs, she said Whitney Houston's mom Cissy originally did Brenda's background vocals.
Children, keep thy faith and listen to the magic. Devils will attempt to enter into your temples to cause confusion, promote negativity but ignore them and keep focused. Sing girl sing, this is gods uprising, good over evil and all is included the only requirement is love Peace to all the truthfighters
You can say all the rude comments you wish, about the " Queen Aretha." However, Aretha will always be known for her singing ability. That is why she is titled the "Queen of Soul."
To " The Queen Aretha". I just wanted to ask you why you feel it necessary berate and use such hateful words to get your point across? I have sung background vocals professionally for almost 30 years. I was fortunate enough to work with Ms. Franklin. I can assure you that while I'm certain she would love the fact that you feel the need to defend her, she would so NOT approve of your methods. You need to understand that her music speaks for itself and there is no reason for your horrible comments
U can say that over and over and over again. It shows that soul doesn't have to be shouting and grunting like many artists think it is. I guess that's why she's the queen.
She can sing any ole way she wants, She's the Queen.

Children, keep thy faith and listen to the magic. Devils will attempt to enter into your temples to cause confusion, promote negativity but ignore them and keep focused. Sing girl sing, this is gods uprising, good over evil and all is included the only requirement is love Peace to all the truthfighters

You can say all the rude comments you wish, about the " Queen Aretha." However, Aretha will always be known for her singing ability. That is why she is titled the "Queen of Soul."

To " The Queen Aretha". I just wanted to ask you why you feel it necessary berate and use such hateful words to get your point across? I have sung background vocals professionally for almost 30 years. I was fortunate enough to work with Ms. Franklin. I can assure you that while I'm certain she would love the fact that you feel the need to defend her, she would so NOT approve of your methods. You need to understand that her music speaks for itself and there is no reason for your horrible comments

Bitch that is a damn lie. This is an Aretha Franklin song and all Patti did was shit on Aretha's song.

Aretha might be fat but you ain't going to tell me that Patti's oversung version is better!
TheQueenAretha 2 years ago 2
I love both singers and the song is entitled 'Ain't No Way' i think you can apply that to Patti's version. Just not her song...

U can say that over and over and over again. It shows that soul doesn't have to be shouting and grunting like many artists think it is. I guess that's why she's the queen.
