YAH, cause that's what Gospel is REALLY about. Right? One-up-manship and outdoing each other. Ridiculous! There's no God in that. I'm soooooo Glad to be away from that entire dysfunction. Except for Twinkie's moving solo, Aretha herself can be seen mostly going through the motions. She's like "Lord if these big bird sleeves could fly me outta here right now, I'd be out!!!" LOL Because you know Sunday morning they go right back to saying Aretha's going to hell for leaving the church! Pass!
I just love the way Karen jumped in at the end....LOL She probably was thinking "I know this dude ain't trying to come into my soprano section".....lol
If you closely at 4:10 you see Micah look at KiKi like WOW DID YOUR MOM JUST DO THAT?.....and if you look even closer Twinkie even gags a little...hahah...that note and the way she riffed all the way down the scale was nothing short of redic!
If you all want to support Aretha Franklin during her battle with cancer. Support her by purchasing some of her DVD's to help her pay for her medical bills. Let lift the Queen of Soul in prayer all over the country......let's show her we love her while she is still with us to witness it. Don't wait until she pass away before giving her the proper recognition she rightfully deserves. Get well Queen of Soul! Thank you for all your contributions you freely shared with the entire world!
Mary Mary shut it down! They picked the right ones to end that part of the tribute with. Loved how they harmonized with those Ooooo's lol. Go head ladies!
I wonder why Aretha Franklin never have Vanessa Bell Armstrong included in her tribute. Aretha was Vanessa's idol and sounds more like Aretha than Karen.
Actually, Whitney Houston's "The Preachers Wife" Soundtrack was also counted on Billboard as a Gospel LP and IT is the biggest selling gospel album of ALL TIME, even surpassing Aretha Franklins Amazing Grace.
@imperiousness I think you better check that, that album is not solely Whitney it has solos by other artists where as "Amazing grace" has Aretha on every musical track. I still think amazing grace is the best selling gospel album.
Shut Up WIth These Aretha Karen Comparisons! Both Are Amazingly Gifted Singers! It Messes Up A Video When You See in the Comments this person Can or cant do this! Aretha Asked Karen To Play Her in Her Movie But Karen Said No and she is going to play another role so that Tells you what Aretha Thinks about Karens Voice! Aretha Is The Queen But So Is Karen! Both Are Talented! Aretha Is Queen Of Soul and Karen Is A Gospel Queen! Let Me Go And Watch another Queen Beyonce! lol
YES Karen is up there with Aretha, but I don't know if she surpasses her just yet. Though Aretha herself even called Karen personally to play a younger version of herself in an upcoming movie. So that let's you know that even Aretha has mad respect for Karen and her vocal ability!!!
@taurusg32 It was not an entire gospel album and the grammys are not the only ones to know this. It is considered as having gospel influences. It has nothing to do with Whitney's fanbase it was not a full gospel album. And shut the fuck up with that petty shit. Aretha is the most respected woman in music and she is considered to be the most important female musical figure of the 20 century. Amazing Grace charted well too, it was a top 10 hit on the billboard 200.
You always know when someone's losing an argument - they always resort to verbal abuse - how pathetic!
Just type in - best-selling gospel album and you will see 'The Preachers Wife' and you obviously haven''t heard the album otherwise you wouldn't make such ridiculous claims.
and to set the record straight - Whitney and many others wouldn't sound the way they do if it wasn't for Aretha - but credit where credits due - Whitney OUTSELLS Aretha and in her GLORY days had a much better VOICE!
@taurusg32 Resort to verbal abuse! You are pathetic. The Preacher Wife is a great all but it is not a entire gospel album, it has secular songs in it. Plus Amazing Grace has more of a historical presence. Yes Whitney has sold more albums but isn't worried about that. She has sold over 100 million albums and no one can touch Aretha. Whitney has an amazing voice but Aretha is the better singer.
@TheQueenAretha - Oh poor you! - That's what is known as being delusional. Consult a doctor immediately - it may get worse.
As for your name-calling - it just shows how under-educated you REALLY are!
Essentially - gospel songs are songs of testimony, persuasion, giving thanks, praise to our LORD and most of the originals like AMAZING GRACE WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN as a secular song which in certain settings has been appropriated to give a more gospel feel. Go back to School!!!
@foyogood Karen is my absolute favorite singer, but it sounds like you're putting the cart before the horse here. Karen herself has said that she listened to Aretha. And I say without Aretha, the general public may not be as open to gospel music (she broke down barriers). So even though Aretha has smoked her voice away IMO (I just don't get it anymore), STILL we'd all be foolish not to give her RESPECT! After all this is a tribute to HER....most people (outside of church) don't even know Karen!
@motownbaby That's so funny you would say that because I talked to two ladies on a chat line last night that have never even heard of Aretha Franklin. People were making fun of her weight on the chat line and they were like, who is Aretha Franklin? LOL. U r nuts!!!! Beyonce, Lil. Mo, Mariah Carey, Kelly Price, Faith Evans, Ashanti, and even LL Cool J have all paid homage to Karen Clark-Sheard and The Clark Sisters as vocalist influence! I'm not hating on Aretha. My opinion. Karen is better!
@foyogood Those two ladies must have fall off the face of the earth because everybody knows who Aretha Franklin is. She is known world wide. Bottom line is don't compare Karen to Aretha. Aretha is legendary. She has influence 2 generations of singers and she is the most respected woman in music. Karen in not way is better than Aretha. That is not even possible.
@TheQueenAretha It is very possible. Please, stop saying that! Aretha Franklin did not INFLUENCE GOSPEL MUSIC!!!! The Clark Sisters admire her and that's pretty much it. Most of the gospel generation looks up to the Clark Family. When it comes to gospel giants, we think of Shirley Caesar, The Clarks, Mahalia Jackson, The Ward Singers, etc. Those are legends in GOSPEL! Aretha is not a LEGEND IN GOSPEL!!!! KAREN IS!!!!
@foyogood No one said she influenced gospel music. She was the bridge that bordered gospel and secular music. Aretha's has influence many gospel singers, not just the Clark Sisters. Aretha is a legend in gospel music. Her gospel album is seem as the greatest gosple album ever record and it is the most successful gospel album of all time.
@motownbaby There are people outside of this country who have never heard of an Aretha Franklin but listen to gospel music and do know The Clark Sisters. I was on YouTube and I saw these two Chinese women singing Karen Clark-Sheard's hit song "Favor." So, everyone has their own audience they reach. Of course, the world would not acknowledge her because she doesn't sing secular music, duh!!!!!!! Beyonce has sold way more records than Aretha Franklin ever will, but does that take away?
@foyogood Aretha still has a more universal fame. No Beyonce has not sold way more albums than Aretha. Aretha has sold over 100 million in album sells. Get your shit together. Beyonce is hot today but she has sold more than Aretha. Beyonce might have sold more than Karen but not Ree.
@TheQueenAretha 100 million!???? Negro, please. Aretha Franklin has not sold no 100 million albums! BEYONCE IS A WAY BIGGER ARTIST than Aretha Franklin will ever be!!!!!! That's not even a comparison! Go type in Beyonce's name on Wikipedia and then type in Aretha's. Beyonce has transcended border culture lines Aretha will NEVER, EVER cross!!!!! Aretha was a better singer in her day, but BEYONCE is a bigger artist! Please, no comparison!
@foyogood What the hell are you talking about. Aretha has sold over 100 million albums in her entire career. Beyonce is the new hot thing out but she has not sold more than Aretha. Aretha has been in the industry for 52 years with over 60 albums. You do the math honey. While Bey is hot today, Aretha is a legend, she had done more than Bey could ever imagine. Don't compare Aretha to Bey. Aretha is the most important female figure of her generation. Bey hasn't come close to being that.
@TheQueenAretha Go do your research! I can PROMISE you Aretha Franklin has not sold 100 million albums!!!! I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT! There are only a handful of female artists who have done that and Aretha is not one! I promise you!
@foyogood I have did my research and i know for a fact that she has sold over 100 million albums. Aretha is one of those few ladies you named. So don't promise me a damn thing because it was reported that she has sold that much.
@TheQueenAretha Girl, get tha hell on! You just saying that cuz u a damn Aretha Franklin groupie. Aretha only has a handful of albums that ever went platinum much less and she certainly does have any albums that exceeded the 10 million or more mark. Black stars were not even selling records in the 10-million or more mark in her time, until the Jackson family came along. So get tha hell on! Yu can type that anywhere, Aretha has NOT sold 100 million albums! GET OVER IT!
@foyogood Shut the hell up, i am saying it because it is true. Aretha has sold over 100 million albums, there is a documentary on here that states if you want proof. Worldwide Aretha has sold 100 million album. Bitch don;t try to tell me shit. You don't know a damn thing about what you are talking about. And yes Aretha album have went up to 10 million. Read my words Aretha has sold 100 million check for yourself and get the fuck on. Stupid bitch! I don't have to lie about damn thing.
@TheQueenAretha U stupid-dick sucking cockface nutmouth DUMB ASS DIRTY FAT UGLY STANKY BITCH, who da fuck u think u talking to? Why don't u go stick yo face in Aretha Franklin's hairy ass fish-smelling pussy and soak it in there until she smothers you to death since u can't stay out of her lap you dumb ass fish face fucker!!!!! Suck on three big dicks and die you dumb ass, ignorant, illiterate ass dumb fucker!!!! Die in three minutes dumb ass FART FACE BITCH!!!!! Now....choke that shit up!!!!
@foyogood Bitch don't even in your life come to me with that bullshit. I am your mammy and you got me fucked up with her. I know actually how the fuck i am talking to, i am talking to a little slut that doesnt know what the hell they are talking about. I am done talking to you. You call yourself a child of god. Get the hell out of here with that bullshit. Get some got damn class.
@TheQueenAretha Naw u stupid fuck-face BITCH! I am a child of God but that doesn't mean I'm gon let u talk to me any type of way u nasty, disrespectful childish BITCH!!!! U gon get fuckin mad at me just because I don't agree with yo stupid ass you dumb ass broad! I never cussed yo dumb ass til u started talking to me crazy.

@foyogood Bitch why the hell are you even here in the first place. Get the hell off this video and get some class. To hell with you and your bullshit.
@TheQueenAretha I go wherever the fuck I please u dumb ass! U dnt tell me what to do u skank skunk-face nasty ass pussy-eating BITCH! FUCK YOU! Don't write me no mo dumb ass! You beneath the bottom of my fuckin shoe BITCH!
@foyogood You know, I've read every comment that you've posted, and you're such a dumb ass!!!! You have NOT stated one single fact YET. First of all Beyonce is not and will NEVER break the grounds that Aretha broke in any genre of music. So SHUT THE HELL UP until you come back with facts. You probably read on the first grade level because you certainly think on one. Dumb ass.
@motownbaby ABSOLUTELY NOT! World popularity has nothing to do with skills. My sister can be a better singer than Karen Clark-Sheard but does that matter because not as many people know her? NO. Popularity has nothing to do with skill.
i like how karen hit that note at the end, basically letting kiki and micah know that they shouldnt try her. she hit that note effortlessly...higher than both of them. thats my karen!!!!
@darrenriccs you ain't neva lied!! Faith channels Karen like its nuttin smh alot of people say Faye and Karen sound alike. I agree 100%. . . And both of em got alot of aretha in em
@TheQueenAretha you know what....we gonna let that nut foyogood keep living in their fantasy world........aretha is in the history books........known internationally just by her first name. elton john was influence by aretha's gospel leanings to play piano. i can't believed i went back and forth with this person. we gonna let the queen sit on her thrown and everyone else bow at her feet. if karen is lucky she can kiss her ring..lol.....check out my other channel with re-uploads...aikan1974
@foyogood Wrong! Aretha has never been closed to one single genre of music on the otherhand you can say that Karen has been closed to only one genre. Aretha has sung in the genre of jazz, blues, pop, rock, soul, rnb, gospel and even classical. Aretha didn't devote her career into only singing gospel but she is a gospel singer eventhough that ain't all that she is. You can hear and feel it everytime she sings.
@TheQueenAretha gosh thank you!!!!!!!! i assume you and i must be in the same age group or older........grew up on a wide array of song stylists..........when you don't have a big reference point............this is your argument......karen is okay.....hell i wuld argue that as good as karen is yolanda is a better ocalist because yolanda like aretha is a song stylist!
@AIKAN74 Actually i am 18 but that a singer is more than someone who belts. There is more to a singer than that. And i agree with you every step of the way.
@foyogood aretha crosses most genres of music......does karen?............karen has range......which aretha had most of her life/career..........karen is bad don't get me wrong....her sisters and her mama..........but thats why aretha is the queen......she holds royalty status in gospel....jazzz......bluess......pop........r&b and even a lil hip hop.....karen is not mention when legendary gospel sisters are talked about......albertina...shirley....tramaine....karen is good but she aint a queen!
@TheQueenAretha oh no i was just talking bout the ones still living............mahalia is the queen mother of gospel........clara is like the diana ross of gospel.......and she was one hella song writer.........marion williams was a beast.......inez andrews and others..........
@AIKAN74 R U INSANE? First of all, Aretha is mentioned as the Queen of Soul. She has no place as being a respectable artist in gospel music. Why? Cuz she did Amazing Grace album? One gospel album doesn't make you a historical figure in a music of genre. The Clark Sisters have been in the business for 35 years. They all are gospel legends in gospel music. Who cares about a Queen? Karen Clark-Sheard only has 5 solo albums vs. 42 albums to Shirley Caesar, duh...Karen is still a legend!!!!!!!
@foyogood Yes Aretha is the Queen of Soul that is her title but anyone that knows anything about Aretha or what she has done in music know that she is more than just a soul artist. She is a legend in music. She damn well does have a place in gospel because she is gospel, her spirit never left her and it is still as strong as it ever was
@foyogood The Clark Sister can't compare to Aretha. Aretha spirit and her connection to the genre is deeper than many gospel singers. Karen is one of them. Karen doesn't have Aretha's spirit, Aretha is a legend in Music
@foyogood . Aretha is the bridge that borders secular and gospel music and she did that years before she never recorded Amazing Grace. Aretha has more than one gospel album she has 3 along with countless gospel performances. She has never turned her back on the church. You can hear it's influence everytime she sings.
They wasnt READY for that run Karen put down! She said "i WILL have the last word" lol. Aretha did not sing on this so leave comparisons b/ her and Karen outta this comment please...thank you :)
I must agree with most of what MrStyle23 had to say however, let's not forget Aretha also, is trained in classical music, not to mention her church tranning, not many can even stand next to Aretha. Now what?
Well Karen and Aretha are two different types of singers.....Aretha never did the squalls, runs, or growls that karen does and karen never sang as soulfully as Aretha does. Both women have their own sound and very unique voices.
@Mouse111Mickey This is old and I am sure someone has checked u already...but u need to do your research...Retha is not dubbed the Queen of Soul for nothing...She basically took those squalls and runs and growls to mainstream..Been there done that!! Over and over and over again..thats why she is unimpressed by many female singers..but I think she loves the Clark Family!!
lmbo...........twinkie looked at karen like wat is wrong w my sisiter! thats what jonathan nelson talking abt shut it dwn international ministries lmbo
Gospel music originated from spirituals. Spirituals orginated, during the pre Civil War era. Slaves sang spirituals to contend wth their conditions. Gospel later emerged as a more rythmic and soulfoul sound. Transitions entail Mahalia Jackson, Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers, Aretha Franklin, Shirely Caesar, Rev, James Clevelend, Kirk Franklin and Mary Mary. Gospel, Jazz, Rythym and Blues all emerged from spiritual music. I hope this helps. I just taught it to my students! :)
One thing Karen has on Aretha is... longevity. Karen can still sing the songs she sung years and years ago... and Aretha... well... She's out of her prime.
do you understand aretha is almost 70?! she can still hold her own incredibly well for a woman who smoked for 40 years had babies.been around the world on stages countless times and got weight issues. can you do what you did 50 years ago? 10 years ago? karen is good but trust she can't even stand in aretha's presence!
I can't do what I did 50 years ago. I wasn't even alive then. And 10 years ago? Of course. Karen is 49 and she's still able to sing songs she's sung 30 years ago. And it's too bad Aretha smoked, she'd probably sound exactly as she did when she was younger.
I've seen this a couple of times and still cant figure out what that heck Re was wearing lol.....and i just had a feeling that Karen was gonna get the last run on Jesus be a fence...
Yes she did. In 1972, Aretha recorded the "Amazing Grace" album, where she performed before a live audience on 2 consecutive nights at a Church in California. She sang this song, and the whole album into a new galaxy.
I see people have lost their minds. Karen Clark-Sheard is a legend in Gospel music and has a very good voice BUT Aretha is a legend in Gospel, Jazz, Blues and of course Soul.
Many of you see the 67 year old Aretha Franklin and must not know anything about her music. Aretha was singing like a grown woman at the age of 14 in her daddys church. When Aretha released the Amazing Grace album it just proved no singer will ever touch her.
and so was Karen.. people get caught up o the "fame".. Aretha is famous so people get to hear her.. but im sure that there are singers out there who can sing just as well or maybe even better than her.. Of course she is great But she is only one person...
Karen to me is not all that great. She is just very loud. I haven't met a singer that can sing half as well as Aretha nor do they have all her qualities that makes her so respected. Why do you think Aretha was voted the greatest singer of all time. And your right she isn't the only great singer but she is in a superior league of greats.
@MrStyle23 NO, SHE IS NOT!!!!! Why do ya'll idiots keep saying that? ARETHA FRANKLIN IS NOT A LEGEND IN GOSPEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO, SHE IS NOT!!!! I've never heard ANYONE SAY THAT BEFORE! That doesn't even make sense! Do you know what a legend is? And then u said a legend in Jazz??? What the hell??? Where are you getting this FOOOOOOOOOOOlishness from?
Sorry to say it, but Karen Clark Sheard will SHUT Aretha DOWN. I'm not just talking about Aretha now, but I'm talking about Aretha in her PRIME. If Prime Aretha sang on stage with Karen Clark Sheard, Karen would EAT HER ALIVE. I had to tell the truth and shame the devil.
as bad as karen is...you have lost yo mind!....i usually just read comments and respond to myself.but you crazy.....karen still can't touch aretha now...........shit................karen was at the speakers listening to aretha not the other way around!
now I admit that I Love Aretha, but let's call a spade a spade. Karen has a bigger range, a better vibrato and her riffs, runs and trills are PHENOMENAL. Aretha is great and paved the way for a lot of artists, and I give her ALL of her props, but I still say Karen would shut her down. But it's all a matter of opinion.
this is a tribute to Aretha Franklin...let's save any negative comments for another time. either you appreciate the artistry or you don't....if you don't, you probably shouldn't comment on a TRIBUTE vid
That's a matter of your "opinion." The Fact is that Mahalia Jackson was & is truly the "voice" that is the "original" in Gospel where all other voices are measured, and Mahalia stated emphatically that Aretha's "mother" had the most powerful voice she had ever heard. No dispute, Aretha's voice was exceedingly beautful, but in the Gospel field, Mahalia still holds reign. Aretha idolized Mahalia.

Whitney has an amazing voice but Aretha is the better singer.

Essentially - gospel songs are songs of testimony, persuasion, giving thanks, praise to our LORD and most of the originals like AMAZING GRACE WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN as a secular song which in certain settings has been appropriated to give a more gospel feel. Go back to School!!!

@foyogood Karen is my absolute favorite singer, but it sounds like you're putting the cart before the horse here. Karen herself has said that she listened to Aretha. And I say without Aretha, the general public may not be as open to gospel music (she broke down barriers). So even though Aretha has smoked her voice away IMO (I just don't get it anymore), STILL we'd all be foolish not to give her RESPECT! After all this is a tribute to HER....most people (outside of church) don't even know Karen!

@motownbaby That's so funny you would say that because I talked to two ladies on a chat line last night that have never even heard of Aretha Franklin. People were making fun of her weight on the chat line and they were like, who is Aretha Franklin? LOL. U r nuts!!!! Beyonce, Lil. Mo, Mariah Carey, Kelly Price, Faith Evans, Ashanti, and even LL Cool J have all paid homage to Karen Clark-Sheard and The Clark Sisters as vocalist influence! I'm not hating on Aretha. My opinion. Karen is better!
foyogood 1 year ago
@foyogood Those two ladies must have fall off the face of the earth because everybody knows who Aretha Franklin is. She is known world wide. Bottom line is don't compare Karen to Aretha. Aretha is legendary. She has influence 2 generations of singers and she is the most respected woman in music. Karen in not way is better than Aretha. That is not even possible.
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@TheQueenAretha It is very possible. Please, stop saying that! Aretha Franklin did not INFLUENCE GOSPEL MUSIC!!!! The Clark Sisters admire her and that's pretty much it. Most of the gospel generation looks up to the Clark Family. When it comes to gospel giants, we think of Shirley Caesar, The Clarks, Mahalia Jackson, The Ward Singers, etc. Those are legends in GOSPEL! Aretha is not a LEGEND IN GOSPEL!!!! KAREN IS!!!!
foyogood 1 year ago
@foyogood No one said she influenced gospel music. She was the bridge that bordered gospel and secular music. Aretha's has influence many gospel singers, not just the Clark Sisters. Aretha is a legend in gospel music. Her gospel album is seem as the greatest gosple album ever record and it is the most successful gospel album of all time.
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@motownbaby There are people outside of this country who have never heard of an Aretha Franklin but listen to gospel music and do know The Clark Sisters. I was on YouTube and I saw these two Chinese women singing Karen Clark-Sheard's hit song "Favor." So, everyone has their own audience they reach. Of course, the world would not acknowledge her because she doesn't sing secular music, duh!!!!!!! Beyonce has sold way more records than Aretha Franklin ever will, but does that take away?
foyogood 1 year ago
@foyogood Aretha still has a more universal fame. No Beyonce has not sold way more albums than Aretha. Aretha has sold over 100 million in album sells. Get your shit together. Beyonce is hot today but she has sold more than Aretha. Beyonce might have sold more than Karen but not Ree.
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@TheQueenAretha 100 million!???? Negro, please. Aretha Franklin has not sold no 100 million albums! BEYONCE IS A WAY BIGGER ARTIST than Aretha Franklin will ever be!!!!!! That's not even a comparison! Go type in Beyonce's name on Wikipedia and then type in Aretha's. Beyonce has transcended border culture lines Aretha will NEVER, EVER cross!!!!! Aretha was a better singer in her day, but BEYONCE is a bigger artist! Please, no comparison!
foyogood 1 year ago
@foyogood What the hell are you talking about. Aretha has sold over 100 million albums in her entire career. Beyonce is the new hot thing out but she has not sold more than Aretha. Aretha has been in the industry for 52 years with over 60 albums. You do the math honey. While Bey is hot today, Aretha is a legend, she had done more than Bey could ever imagine. Don't compare Aretha to Bey. Aretha is the most important female figure of her generation. Bey hasn't come close to being that.

@TheQueenAretha Go do your research! I can PROMISE you Aretha Franklin has not sold 100 million albums!!!! I CAN PROMISE YOU THAT! There are only a handful of female artists who have done that and Aretha is not one! I promise you!

@TheQueenAretha Girl, get tha hell on! You just saying that cuz u a damn Aretha Franklin groupie. Aretha only has a handful of albums that ever went platinum much less and she certainly does have any albums that exceeded the 10 million or more mark. Black stars were not even selling records in the 10-million or more mark in her time, until the Jackson family came along. So get tha hell on! Yu can type that anywhere, Aretha has NOT sold 100 million albums! GET OVER IT!

Aretha has sung in the genre of jazz, blues, pop, rock, soul, rnb, gospel and even classical. Aretha didn't devote her career into only singing gospel but she is a gospel singer eventhough that ain't all that she is. You can hear and feel it everytime she sings.

@AIKAN74 R U INSANE? First of all, Aretha is mentioned as the Queen of Soul. She has no place as being a respectable artist in gospel music. Why? Cuz she did Amazing Grace album? One gospel album doesn't make you a historical figure in a music of genre. The Clark Sisters have been in the business for 35 years. They all are gospel legends in gospel music. Who cares about a Queen? Karen Clark-Sheard only has 5 solo albums vs. 42 albums to Shirley Caesar, duh...Karen is still a legend!!!!!!!
foyogood 1 year ago
@foyogood Yes Aretha is the Queen of Soul that is her title but anyone that knows anything about Aretha or what she has done in music know that she is more than just a soul artist. She is a legend in music. She damn well does have a place in gospel because she is gospel, her spirit never left her and it is still as strong as it ever was
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@foyogood The Clark Sister can't compare to Aretha. Aretha spirit and her connection to the genre is deeper than many gospel singers. Karen is one of them. Karen doesn't have Aretha's spirit, Aretha is a legend in Music
TheQueenAretha 1 year ago
@foyogood . Aretha is the bridge that borders secular and gospel music and she did that years before she never recorded Amazing Grace. Aretha has more than one gospel album she has 3 along with countless gospel performances. She has never turned her back on the church. You can hear it's influence everytime she sings.

What's the difference between gospel and spirituals?
utopianconstruction 2 years ago
Gospel music originated from spirituals. Spirituals orginated, during the pre Civil War era. Slaves sang spirituals to contend wth their conditions. Gospel later emerged as a more rythmic and soulfoul sound. Transitions entail Mahalia Jackson, Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers, Aretha Franklin, Shirely Caesar, Rev, James Clevelend, Kirk Franklin and Mary Mary. Gospel, Jazz, Rythym and Blues all emerged from spiritual music. I hope this helps. I just taught it to my students! :)

do you understand aretha is almost 70?! she can still hold her own incredibly well for a woman who smoked for 40 years had babies.been around the world on stages countless times and got weight issues. can you do what you did 50 years ago? 10 years ago? karen is good but trust she can't even stand in aretha's presence!
AIKAN74 2 years ago
I can't do what I did 50 years ago. I wasn't even alive then. And 10 years ago? Of course. Karen is 49 and she's still able to sing songs she's sung 30 years ago. And it's too bad Aretha smoked, she'd probably sound exactly as she did when she was younger.

Many of you see the 67 year old Aretha Franklin and must not know anything about her music. Aretha was singing like a grown woman at the age of 14 in her daddys church. When Aretha released the Amazing Grace album it just proved no singer will ever touch her.

Karen to me is not all that great. She is just very loud. I haven't met a singer that can sing half as well as Aretha nor do they have all her qualities that makes her so respected.

That's a matter of your "opinion." The Fact is that Mahalia Jackson was & is truly the "voice" that is the "original" in Gospel where all other voices are measured, and Mahalia stated emphatically that Aretha's "mother" had the most powerful voice she had ever heard. No dispute, Aretha's voice was exceedingly beautful, but in the Gospel field, Mahalia still holds reign. Aretha idolized Mahalia.
