@Vincent50 -- (cont) They NEVER did as many runs in their songs like Mariah, NOR did they have the range like she did.. the closest one that would have range like hers that you've mentioned was Aretha. & I think the song "Hero" (probably her most famous song) as well as some of her other songs will have the longevity just like those of the artists you've mentioned. Her earlier songs will be remembered. JUST like the artists you've mentioned..their later songs, not so much.
@Vincent50 -- LOL! Are you kidding me??? Her songs won't have longevity? The only reason her songs wouldn't be as much sung as other famous female artists is because her songs are so freakin' hard to sing for most people. Anybody can sing Diana Ross's EASY songs or Ms. Cole's songs and even Aretha's. (continued)
i hate how people try to discredit mariah like she's nothing. aretha was inspiration for the female singers of mariahs generation and everyone one of this genaration looked up to mariah.
Heck many can remember Aretha's songs from decades. Mariah may have many number ones but her songs will not have longevity that Aretha, Diana, Natalie Cole and many older divas have, even Whitney's. I can only remember Mariah's earlier stuff for it holds some weight but the others and now, I doubt it. Touch her body, throw her on the floor, wrestle her around...yeah, the right kind of lyrics many will remember for time to come.
@Vincent50 You have absolutely no knowledge in music. The Mariah catalogue has been featured as the central theme for countless singing talent shows.
and I can assure you that her songs are well known to all generations; whereas the likes of Aretha, Diana, Natalie Cole, Whitney, etc. are virtually forgotten among the 16 (and younger) market.
That leaves the 17-100 market in Aretha's pocket, a somewhat larger group. The 14 and under are into Miley and Brittany more than Mariah. So what? huh.
Every little kid I know knows "Respect" as much as any of these youngster's songs.
@skye009 That's not true. Whle their music isn't as popular with the younger generation as Mariah's music(which is expected, they're old enough to be her mother), the elder divas are hardly forgotten by the young crowd.
I know 9 year olds that know atleast ONE song by Aretha, Diana, and definitely Whitney. Who doesnt know Respect, Babylove, or I will Always Love You? Those are classics.
Perhaps Natalie Cole, Billie Holiday, Barbra Striesand, etc are probably forgotten names to the young.
see,i don't get all the hate toward mariah..I know Aretha is a legend but you cannot dismiss mariah.She has sang the TOUGHEST songs in history of music.Ask experts like simon cowell. She has 18 #1s,MOST for a solo artist,she has shifted 205m records WW(second biggest female artist of ALL time behind madonna.) So next time when your trying to glorify aretha,try not to show mariah down coz she's nowhere but near the top.
Anyway,i thot this was funny and as soulful as this song can get
Well said, jtyre25. Aretha has worked exceptionally hard for her historical musical accomplishments. Hence, she deserves all of her props. Remember, people as successful as Aretha, have many enemies. 'Cause misery loves company, they envy her work, which can not be duplicated. She's always been either loved or hated, not anything in-between. She's a very astute lady, full aware of the jealous hatemongers. Like, Mahalia will forever be Queen of Gospel, Aretha will forever be Queen of Soul.
Aretha sings this to have a dig at Mariah because she slated her in the press and said that Aretha should retire!
They shared a stage together with Selien Dion... Diva's night I think it was called and Mariah got OWNED with her weak vocals.... And ever since, Mariah has never had a good thing to say...
Mariah grew up listening to Aretha, she's one of her biggest fan. And Aretha has mentionned Mariah as one of the best singer in the game today along with Erykah Badu. They love and respect each others. So ... knock it off!
Haha.. I'm gonna be doing that now everytime I play the song now.. " How you doin? How you doin?" xDD And I can say it just like Wendy.. which is sick.. just can't spread my bottom lip like she does though.
@ this shows as old as she is she is not stuck in a vaccuum(anymore) & listens to all the younger artists.If she had done that in the early seventies instead of resting on her laurels & stagnating Natalie,Chaka,& Stephanie would have caught hell!
yes it was joke, she sang and talked to the audience about being sexy and one of the musicians said "what you know about being sexy" then she sung this.
dont hate on a little thing that wa just for the fun of it come ur nevres do something better wit ur life instead of turning to bring down the woman who inspired be 2 become a singer
Aretha went from 'Respect' a classic song to singin a cheesy pop song ' touch ma body'.
I dont know who to blame that crazy fat bitch Mariah for singing such a horrible song or Aretha for covering this song.
Both are horrible. And yes, I am Bringing them both down because I dont worship these celebs instead I think its better to humanize them and blast them.
aretha was just enjoying herself, she's had most of her life singing classic mature songs, now she can just enjoy herself and mess around a bit. and mariah's the same, a few fun silly songs never hurt anybody!
take a break! singing isn't just EVERYTHING ABOUT VOCALS. SINGING IS TTTTTTOOOOOOO EEEEENNNTEEERRTAINNNN PEOPLE OK! SO BETTER SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND GO AWAY.
Love it! Both Mariah and Aretha are great artists (although everyone knows Aretha is the Queen) who have a lot of respect for each other, why do some people feel the need to bring one or both down?
yeah, why on earth do people bring down the other artist just to make you favorite one seem better? Mariah can do stuff with her voice Aretha can't and visa versa. But both are very talented.
As for the RUDE comments, they seem to be coming from a lot of INSECURE, IGNORANT & IMMATURE people who don't know ANYTHING about what makes an artist great, as they're too busy trying to emulate the status-desperate, moderately talented & over-styled, hurling insults at a great legend like Aretha b/c they see her as a MAJOR THREAT to their "chosen" favourite.
She is.
I've seen their behaviour so often, one would swear they copy & paste from the same script.LOL
No, Aretha just had 2 kids as a teenager , her first husband abused her, lost her mother at 10, all brothers and sisters dead, father shot and lay in coma for 5 years before dying. I am so sick of people not giving her her props for the works she has done with all she has had to overcome. Everybody has a story, and has overcome something, it dosen't make them any less or more than someone else. Aretha is the QUEEN, period.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
OOOHH no, sir aretha is NOT the queen of all music!! Maybe of her own lil genre but not no more. How many #1's singles has she had? How many #1 albums has she had? How many Grammys? Thank you.
Bitch you got served!!! Thank you a1d2h put people in their place Respect the old school Respect the eras that gave birth you and your pitiful ass and this generation you learn from your past not disregard it numbnuts thank you
krazyshorty89 did your mother drop you on your head??? Aretha Franklin is one of the most awarded singers of all time! She has influenced singers of all genres! She has recorded and mastered gospel, jazz, pop, r & b, soul, and let's not forget she had to fill in at the last minute and sing a classical number at the grammy's and only got a 15 minute notice and Aretha slammed it.....we are going to have to get your mind, body, soul, and spirit on one accord...because u need to get it all 2gether
Aretha singing the classical number at the Grammys was one of the best moments in television for me. I was watchign with my sister, and when Aretha finished, our mouths were hung open in shock. Aretha is the truth!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Aretha better not have been mimicing The Diva/Queen Mariah that all I have to say, no disrespect towards Aretha... I never heard of her music, but no disprect. Peace.
Krazyshorty, what planet are you from? Everyone with ears and a brain here on Earth has heard the magnificent ARETHA! Since you have a youtube account, why not check her music out now even know you are many years late...... no disrespect of course. Peace out.
Do any of the people posting here making disrepectful comments toward Aretha Franklin actually know what a "QUEEN" is? Do you think that she was simply handed that title, as opposed to earning it? Aretha is the most accomplished, soulful & spiritual female vocalist of our generation, and she's certainly earned the right to have a sense of humor about herself, and interpret ANY song, ANY WAY SHE PLEASES! She's been brilliantly entertaining folks LONG before some of you were born. RESPECT is due!
This is THE QUEEN--God never gave a more incredible voice to any other human being. She's big and bold and beautiful and is not only a musical goddess but has great fun at her own expense. Watch, learn and come to adore she who must be reckoned with. Rock on Aretha!!!!
Aretha is THE QUEEN of all music--she can and has sung opera. Her body is a glorious temple for her unbelievable talent and she can do whatever she damn well pleases!!!!! Rock on forever
I really love the orchestrated version of the music!!! and the horn arrangements!!! OMG this is so cool!! This song is kinda catchy and contagious lol :-D
oh my GOD! if i did touch her body, i might get squished! my god,her size!! btw, she is so funny... i wish i watched this performance live....hahahahah..lolololllloooollllzzz!, hope mariah saw this...
I don't understand why Aretha is provoking so many people by singing this song. She has a voice that nobody can touch and she's using it to have fun and entertain. She's sweet and funny and I'd consider it to be an honour if I had the chance to see her live.
Stop hating already!
And thanx for uploading this,I love her and the band's version of Touch my body! =D
Oh me, oh my, what a diverse, durable voice she has...decades of performances. All hail the most important singer of the Rock 'n' Roll era, the Queen, ARETHA...we will remember her name.
ahhh, NO, she doesn't sing it better than mariah. lol just like mariah would sing respect better than the 80's aretha! most people would definitely prefer mariah singing this than aretha. maybe old people who are nostalgic about areatha and music from the 50's to the 80's would like this version!
or younger old people who still think Mariah even has a voice. Oh I forgot you all can't tell thet her voice is gove because she usually lips,syncs in concert these days. Don't come here hating because Aretha sounds good on this at age 66 and is singing playfully but at least its live. lol I'm young and I prefer this version so speak for yourself!
36 is not young. that's what ur profile says. if you're going to front, at least have enough sense to change the age on your profile. loser. and aretha is old now and so is her voice so get over it!
My profile is just as much a lie as Mariah singing live! lol I'm sure Aretha will take an old voice that still sounds good over one that is completely gone anyday. Oh, and by the way, isn't Mariah around 36? Old you say?
why do u have white dudes in their underwear on your profile? lol dirty old pops! it's obvious from your video selections that you are an old black queen! that's why u love aretha so much! LMAO
oh we have one who doesn't know when to fall back hmm. Why do you have a white dude with a big boner? Are you a young white queen? Do you have a prob with queens? With a screen name like "butternutt" I guess the possibilities are endless. lol I thought we were discussing Mariah and Aretha, but I'll go wherever you take it boo boo. So you may as well pack a lunch because I will make the time to crush you! Also Mariah is 38 and older than my profile so why do u like the ole lady so much?
we're not talking about mariah anymore but about your old ass and aretha's old ass. lol tired ole black queen. i bet u have a perm or relaxer. don't u? and for the record i can have guys on my profile. I'M A FEMALE. YOU ARE NOT!!!! lol
I'm supposed to believe ur a female? This is the internet and you can be a cat or dog or what and whomever you want to be, but ur still an idiot because you obviously think I could possibly care what you are. If you are a really a woman, which I doubt you must be a dumb dyke. Ur the one on here defending a an old woman. You say ur 23 but you sound 10. lol A real queen would have cussed you completely out by now, which probably will happen with a few more dumd gay jokes. Keep it up.
you are the dumbest old black negro church queen i've ever encountered! lol you should have kept your comments about mariah to yourself and this dialogue would never have started. but since you started it, i will finish it. go back to your church videos and your naked white boys, miss gurl. u love areatha...okay. both you bitches can enjoy much needed retirement together. good day!
Well this is a comments section about Aretha and Mariah so I made mine and I will continue to do so. You're the ignorant bimbo that brought sexual preference into it so don't good day me, you arogant wench. You could not defend Mariah so now you have to defend youself. I think you should remove butter and just call urself NUTT! U love Mariah and I heard she was dyking so u 2 can have a nice life together after Nick realizes shes too old for him. NOW it's a good day! MAN DOWN!!!
WEAK! yeah, you are a queen. "i heard she's gay, i heard he's gay. nick gone leave her". that's typical ol' queen bs. no, that's old negro church queen bs. lol for the record, i could care less about how old mariah is. she could be 100 and she would still sing that song better than aretha. and it's sexual orientation not preference..i'm sure you didn't choose to be a queen, blanche. lol we get it okay. u love aretha, baby! so once more, both you old bitches can skip off to retirement together!
I see u must b a blk man or woman and u must be gay since you like talking about it so much and can tell all the signs. Maybe you learned it from ur father. It almost seems like you would think that I would care what you thought about me personally. lol Is that the case? Again this is the internet, b who you want to b. Wow and u sound like a real educated diversified dyke too hmm - orientation/preference. A real 23yr old college professor. Ho sit yo --- down!
you illiterate queen! lol you just got roasted. and you keep coming back for more. i don't understand. miss gurl, stop it! lol you are so tired. don't u have a youtube video of straight white boys in their underwear to j--k off too? you old dirty perv. go away, child. and be a man and not some old church queen. going to church tomorrow? LMAO
Nutt didn't I tell u to pack a lunch? I'm gonna b right here waitin for that ---. You dumb enough to come here and run that mouth then you b dumb enough to take what I give you. Roasted? I'm really starting to believe you're like 13. Does ur parents know you have an account? Yeah wench I got time for u and i'm gonna dig in nat --- until I get tired.
yes, we know how u queens like to dig! lol you're so tired. are you running out of steam boo? i'm just gettin started. pick up an english book u silly queen. it's "DO your parents..." lol and "pack a lunch" and "man down"? u really need to stop telling ur age on here. i'm inclinded to believe it's not 36 like you claim. gurl, nobody uses phrases like that n-e more or ever have 4 that matter. you old negro spiritual you! LMAO u got ur red and cream suit ready for church tomorrow, blanche? hahaha
When u get to the point of correcting grammer and spelling on the net, you're an official man down!!!!! lol You're also starting to repeat everything I say. Have you no original thoughts buttercup?
you just keep making stupid mistakes. your first was commenting to me! PLEASE take an english class before trying to debate back with me. it's grammAr! not grammEr. that just proves you're soulful. lol you can't keep up. i'll layoff you blanche!
Okay your boring me. Maybe I should take this back to the original topic which was Aretha sounds better singing Mariah's song than she does and she's 66 and just playing. Since I'm running this and ur waiting on my every word all day and night and obviously running out of insults and clever things to say perhaps you will better debate this time staying on topic. The personals and gramatical corrections are REALLY TIRED. Look at this trail its pathetic. I need substance in a debate! lol
you bored me a long time ago "gurl". but i really enjoyed making you look stupid and demeaning you. there is no question as to who sounds better singing a song that was written by and performed by the same person. if they had wanted aretha to sing it, they would have asked her to record it. it's that simple dumbass. the only people interested in hearing areatha sing something like that are old tired ass queens like you. again, stick to your white boys in underwear and donnie mclurkin videos.
you are still an old negro church queen w/ nothing better to do than to defend a has-been. take your old soulful ass back to what you were doing. i'm sure there are plenty of white boys on here for you to fantasize about sodomizing. you old snow queen! so tired. looking at men's asses one minute and gospel music videos the next. church queens, ugh! and in the future don't offer your opinion when it's not needed. after all, i don't come to the street corner and pull the dick out of your mouth!
Wow, still here and still trying to say something shocking and interesting. Yet saying the same things over and over. You need to learn to debate on topic. How is it that at the age of 38 a singer completely loses her voice? To the point of having to fool the public by lip syncing at every concert. And look at the fans she has. You should be ashamed of this dreadful tired trail. Pathetic! At least your giving Aretha a lot of hits for this video. lol I ain't goin nowhere!
So I'll take two posts too. You have a trash mouth and I want to invite you to really take a close look at some of the church videos. You seem really nasty for no reason and I want to help you here. Perhaps with this therapy I'm going to give you, you will learn to speak like a proper lady (if u really r one). But ur a very nasty skanky talkin somebody. Does it really take all of that to defend urself or Mariah? I guess ur really telling me off huh! Ur goin too far, it's just a video hun. lol
WOW how can disrespect her? Please anyone
who dislikes legendary QUEEN OF SOUL! JUST
GO TO HELL! She is voted on Rolling Stones as
the best VOICE OF ALLTIME! AND SHE HAS ONE
OF THE BEST VOICES OF ALLTIMES!

aretha was just enjoying herself, she's had most of her life singing classic mature songs, now she can just enjoy herself and mess around a bit. and mariah's the same, a few fun silly songs never hurt anybody!

Love it! Both Mariah and Aretha are great artists (although everyone knows Aretha is the Queen) who have a lot of respect for each other, why do some people feel the need to bring one or both down?
Tsukikuroi 2 years ago 6
yeah, why on earth do people bring down the other artist just to make you favorite one seem better? Mariah can do stuff with her voice Aretha can't and visa versa. But both are very talented.

As for the RUDE comments, they seem to be coming from a lot of INSECURE, IGNORANT & IMMATURE people who don't know ANYTHING about what makes an artist great, as they're too busy trying to emulate the status-desperate, moderately talented & over-styled, hurling insults at a great legend like Aretha b/c they see her as a MAJOR THREAT to their "chosen" favourite.
She is.
I've seen their behaviour so often, one would swear they copy & paste from the same script.LOL

No, Aretha just had 2 kids as a teenager , her first husband abused her, lost her mother at 10, all brothers and sisters dead, father shot and lay in coma for 5 years before dying. I am so sick of people not giving her her props for the works she has done with all she has had to overcome. Everybody has a story, and has overcome something, it dosen't make them any less or more than someone else. Aretha is the QUEEN, period.

krazyshorty89 did your mother drop you on your head??? Aretha Franklin is one of the most awarded singers of all time! She has influenced singers of all genres! She has recorded and mastered gospel, jazz, pop, r & b, soul, and let's not forget she had to fill in at the last minute and sing a classical number at the grammy's and only got a 15 minute notice and Aretha slammed it.....we are going to have to get your mind, body, soul, and spirit on one accord...because u need to get it all 2gether

Aretha singing the classical number at the Grammys was one of the best moments in television for me. I was watchign with my sister, and when Aretha finished, our mouths were hung open in shock. Aretha is the truth!

Do any of the people posting here making disrepectful comments toward Aretha Franklin actually know what a "QUEEN" is? Do you think that she was simply handed that title, as opposed to earning it? Aretha is the most accomplished, soulful & spiritual female vocalist of our generation, and she's certainly earned the right to have a sense of humor about herself, and interpret ANY song, ANY WAY SHE PLEASES! She's been brilliantly entertaining folks LONG before some of you were born. RESPECT is due!

I don't understand why Aretha is provoking so many people by singing this song. She has a voice that nobody can touch and she's using it to have fun and entertain. She's sweet and funny and I'd consider it to be an honour if I had the chance to see her live.
Stop hating already!
And thanx for uploading this,I love her and the band's version of Touch my body! =D

ahhh, NO, she doesn't sing it better than mariah. lol just like mariah would sing respect better than the 80's aretha! most people would definitely prefer mariah singing this than aretha. maybe old people who are nostalgic about areatha and music from the 50's to the 80's would like this version!

or younger old people who still think Mariah even has a voice. Oh I forgot you all can't tell thet her voice is gove because she usually lips,syncs in concert these days. Don't come here hating because Aretha sounds good on this at age 66 and is singing playfully but at least its live. lol I'm young and I prefer this version so speak for yourself!
radical11 3 years ago
36 is not young. that's what ur profile says. if you're going to front, at least have enough sense to change the age on your profile. loser. and aretha is old now and so is her voice so get over it!
butternuttt 3 years ago
My profile is just as much a lie as Mariah singing live! lol I'm sure Aretha will take an old voice that still sounds good over one that is completely gone anyday. Oh, and by the way, isn't Mariah around 36? Old you say?

oh we have one who doesn't know when to fall back hmm. Why do you have a white dude with a big boner? Are you a young white queen? Do you have a prob with queens? With a screen name like "butternutt" I guess the possibilities are endless. lol I thought we were discussing Mariah and Aretha, but I'll go wherever you take it boo boo. So you may as well pack a lunch because I will make the time to crush you! Also Mariah is 38 and older than my profile so why do u like the ole lady so much?
radical11 3 years ago
we're not talking about mariah anymore but about your old ass and aretha's old ass. lol tired ole black queen. i bet u have a perm or relaxer. don't u? and for the record i can have guys on my profile. I'M A FEMALE. YOU ARE NOT!!!! lol
butternuttt 3 years ago
I'm supposed to believe ur a female? This is the internet and you can be a cat or dog or what and whomever you want to be, but ur still an idiot because you obviously think I could possibly care what you are. If you are a really a woman, which I doubt you must be a dumb dyke. Ur the one on here defending a an old woman. You say ur 23 but you sound 10. lol A real queen would have cussed you completely out by now, which probably will happen with a few more dumd gay jokes. Keep it up.
radical11 3 years ago
you are the dumbest old black negro church queen i've ever encountered! lol you should have kept your comments about mariah to yourself and this dialogue would never have started. but since you started it, i will finish it. go back to your church videos and your naked white boys, miss gurl. u love areatha...okay. both you bitches can enjoy much needed retirement together. good day!
butternuttt 3 years ago
Well this is a comments section about Aretha and Mariah so I made mine and I will continue to do so. You're the ignorant bimbo that brought sexual preference into it so don't good day me, you arogant wench. You could not defend Mariah so now you have to defend youself. I think you should remove butter and just call urself NUTT! U love Mariah and I heard she was dyking so u 2 can have a nice life together after Nick realizes shes too old for him. NOW it's a good day! MAN DOWN!!!
radical11 3 years ago
WEAK! yeah, you are a queen. "i heard she's gay, i heard he's gay. nick gone leave her". that's typical ol' queen bs. no, that's old negro church queen bs. lol for the record, i could care less about how old mariah is. she could be 100 and she would still sing that song better than aretha. and it's sexual orientation not preference..i'm sure you didn't choose to be a queen, blanche. lol we get it okay. u love aretha, baby! so once more, both you old bitches can skip off to retirement together!
butternuttt 3 years ago
I see u must b a blk man or woman and u must be gay since you like talking about it so much and can tell all the signs. Maybe you learned it from ur father. It almost seems like you would think that I would care what you thought about me personally. lol Is that the case? Again this is the internet, b who you want to b. Wow and u sound like a real educated diversified dyke too hmm - orientation/preference. A real 23yr old college professor. Ho sit yo --- down!
radical11 3 years ago
you illiterate queen! lol you just got roasted. and you keep coming back for more. i don't understand. miss gurl, stop it! lol you are so tired. don't u have a youtube video of straight white boys in their underwear to j--k off too? you old dirty perv. go away, child. and be a man and not some old church queen. going to church tomorrow? LMAO

Nutt didn't I tell u to pack a lunch? I'm gonna b right here waitin for that ---. You dumb enough to come here and run that mouth then you b dumb enough to take what I give you. Roasted?

radical11 3 years ago
yes, we know how u queens like to dig! lol you're so tired. are you running out of steam boo? i'm just gettin started. pick up an english book u silly queen. it's "DO your parents..." lol and "pack a lunch" and "man down"? u really need to stop telling ur age on here. i'm inclinded to believe it's not 36 like you claim. gurl, nobody uses phrases like that n-e more or ever have 4 that matter. you old negro spiritual you!

butternuttt 3 years ago
Okay your boring me. Maybe I should take this back to the original topic which was Aretha sounds better singing Mariah's song than she does and she's 66 and just playing. Since I'm running this and ur waiting on my every word all day and night and obviously running out of insults and clever things to say perhaps you will better debate this time staying on topic. The personals and gramatical corrections are REALLY TIRED. Look at this trail its pathetic. I need substance in a debate! lol
radical11 3 years ago
you bored me a long time ago "gurl". but i really enjoyed making you look stupid and demeaning you. there is no question as to who sounds better singing a song that was written by and performed by the same person. if they had wanted aretha to sing it, they would have asked her to record it. it's that simple dumbass. the only people interested in hearing areatha sing something like that are old tired ass queens like you. again, stick to your white boys in underwear and donnie mclurkin videos.
butternuttt 3 years ago
you are still an old negro church queen w/ nothing better to do than to defend a has-been. take your old soulful ass back to what you were doing. i'm sure there are plenty of white boys on here for you to fantasize about sodomizing. you old snow queen! so tired. looking at men's asses one minute and gospel music videos the next. church queens, ugh! and in the future don't offer your opinion when it's not needed. after all, i don't come to the street corner and pull the dick out of your mouth!
butternuttt 3 years ago
Wow, still here and still trying to say something shocking and interesting. Yet saying the same things over and over. You need to learn to debate on topic. How is it that at the age of 38 a singer completely loses her voice? To the point of having to fool the public by lip syncing at every concert. And look at the fans she has. You should be ashamed of this dreadful tired trail. Pathetic! At least your giving Aretha a lot of hits for this video. lol I ain't goin nowhere!
radical11 3 years ago
So I'll take two posts too. You have a trash mouth and I want to invite you to really take a close look at some of the church videos. You seem really nasty for no reason and I want to help you here. Perhaps with this therapy I'm going to give you, you will learn to speak like a proper lady (if u really r one). But ur a very nasty skanky talkin somebody. Does it really take all of that to defend urself or Mariah? I guess ur really telling me off huh! Ur goin too far, it's just a video hun. lol
