  • I like when she say "You Make Me Feel" lol cant nobody do it like her

  • Wow just listening to the man...ARETHA PUT IN SOME WORK back in work back in the day. All those gold albums and stuff..

  • Thank-You for Sharing. Fan…tastic!!! xo

  • Bellaaaaaa!!!!!!

    

  • Love this :)

    

  • I love Aretha...She is a DIVA!!!!!!!!

  • @AdilsonAndradee Well since Diva is the polite way of saying a talent woman who is a cunt, then yes I guess so.

  • @EmpressKrystle Diva is only a pejorative term when the woman in question hasn't *earned* the right to call herself a diva.

  • Wonderul Classic Areatha! A new generation for today Australia`s Vanessa Amorossi does an Amazing cover of "I am Woman" Like no other singer on the Planet today! Check it out on youtube and see what you think?

  • I'm sad for those poor souls growing up on todays music with its so called singers. This woman is an artist. No less an artist than Picasso, Rembrandt or Michelangelo. The joy in her face, the power in her vocals and the actual sound of a human soul... all of these things are totally real and without even a hint of artifice. This is no act. This is the real thing. When I look at this lady's face and hear that voice, I get goose bumps, a chill down my spine and my heart beats faster.

  • I would like to click on "like" a thousand times if it's not a million if it would be possible!!!!

  • I think of my new ex boyfriend when I listen to this </3 I'm going to sing this to him if I get 30 like :0 Im going to do it anyway, but it would be nice to have some suport.

  • Her voice is so breathtaking. Seriously amazing.

  • If she lays on someone, she will feel like a cow

  • I love this song especially the lyrics because express so well bot the feelings and the thill to be loved by a real man

  • i love this song very much!

  • No, she is defintely NOT lip-synching! (cf. the recorded version) Atlantic (her label then) was one of the first (along with Motown) to make backing tracks available to those artits who wanted to sing their songs "live" on shows such as this. Oh and, Adele - EAT-YOUR-HEART-OUT!!!

  • What does being a natural woman exactly feel like?

  • @almondbluejay i{m not sure but dont ask Pamela Anderson XD

  • @almondbluejay that kind of feeling that makes a drag queen forgets she was a man

  • Gotta get me one of those wigs!

  • the best

  • 2:42 = LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is a truly great performance. Even though the backing tracks were pre-recorded, sound very like the Atlantic sessions, this is definitely not Aretha's voice from those sessions.

    That means she is either really singing live here, or recorded some new leads, perhaps just before the taping of this show, which was a common practice of television programs like this in those days.

    In any case, Aretha's such a pro that lip-syncing, if it is being done here, is undetectable. I think it is live.

  • Wow I can't believe television used to be like this....

  • @MsBeautyBasics

    Oh, yea, I remember his show and all the ones that came before Oprah...some didn't even interview black stars sitting down...like they do now.

  • I love Stancy Francis' version

  • Love this clip. I used to watch the Mike Douglas Show when I was a teenager in the 70's.

  • Good Lord what a voice you gave that lady just to intertain the world. She is truly the greatest Soul singer ever born.

  • I love you Aretha! and I'm 16, your music reaches every generation :) true music never dies.

  • top fuckin notch mate | best soul singer thats been . END OF. respect to the bird .

  • Greatest singer EVER! My Queen <3

  • like if Aretha Franklin brought you here!!!

  • i loveeeeeeee my girlfriend endless :)))

  • don't even mention stancy francis. there is no comparison! aretha franklin is the 1 greatest singer of all time in Rolling Stone.

  • mammia mia che voce splendida!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Her and jazmine sullivan, are kindred spirits, sent from GOD

  • 240p? That's an overstatement.

  • That woman is soooooo amazing!! love her voice <3

  • @Bottomendladdie that's what made me come here. I've been trying to figure out who Rebecca F sounded like.

  • Probably gonna get some thumbs down or lip, but if you heard of this song from an x factor contestant you have GOT to be a child or have led a VERY sheltered life.

  • What a talent...

  • GREAT!

  • beautiful singing =D x

  • Aretha Franklin has such a beautiful voice:)

  • ARETHA! Queen of Soul!

  • Teach em, Queen Aretha. Easy when you just rely on your God given talent, and not with the mic down your throat, and gurning to convince us you are emoting when in fact you are struggling to reach those notes. And dont get me started on auto-tune!

  • Carole King

  • wow she makes this beauty seem so effortless. her voice is flawless, and shes just standing there with a smile, no scrunched up faces or screaming just effortless beauty

  • I'm just chilling w/ headsets listen to the oldies... That was when music, was music

  • weno .... weno ......

    

  • 240p we meet again

  • @RaEwInZ unoriginal top comment, we meet again

  • @RaEwInZ wats 240p ?? i see this all the time online

  • @VagabondLiferz The video quality. 240 p, very low. HD is 720 or 1080

  • I'm sure Aretha is already born as a fatty!

  • @SuperstarX everybody is born fat. its necessary to sustain life during the development stages of our bodies. your intelligence insults me as a fellow human being. please think next time before you comment.

  • @samhugh08 you was born fat and you're maybe still fat. I was born slim (I saw baby pics of me) and I'm still slim.

  • Another fantastic song written by Carol king

  • What the hell

  • X-Factor? What's that? (for serious folks I spent about 10 minutes being confused cause I thought you were referring to X-Files)

  • @GJdan i guess you live in a cave then

  • @handyguy900 I just don't watch TV anymore, and oddly enough neither do my friends ;)

  • I am weeping...!! what happened to us today?? This was real joy and feeling..no booty shaking here..just essence of soul..which has been totally LOST today..!! I am glad to have lived during this time on earth with Aretha..

  • she had some good back up singers too!

  • ARETHA, FANTASTIC! LOVE EVERY THING YOU SING BABY.

    bandwidthjunkie1 THANK YOU GREAT UPLOAD. LOOKS LIKE CIRCA 1968 WOW

  • This sounds strange, but is it possible that she is putting out more sound than the microphone can pick up?

  • she is the queen of soul!

    just found out in my musical theater class.

  • Why does Youtube have a dislike button but Facebook doesn't.

  • Stacy Francis sings better

  • @Caium225 Kill yourself. World has a million more like you and it's sad.

  • @Caium225 Sorry dude, but you are wrong

  • @Caium225 Let me guess, you are like 15?

    Wait nvm, I am 15 and I know if there was a sing off, even today, Aretha would kill Stacy. She is just someone who is going to get voted of X Factor soon.

  • makes me wanna fly

  • HEY! It GOT you guys here! great music!

  • like if stacy francis brought you here!!!!

  • @liljh26 Um, NO. Aretha brought me here.

  • @liljh26 Sincerely, I like a lot Aretha now that I know her but thrutly, Stacy Francis made me know the song.

    I felt my heart stop beating when she was on the X factor

  • @liljh26 Yup it sure did!! LOL!!

  • @liljh26 Adele brought me here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • She is one of those people you just wanna hug when you see.

  • Chills.

    

  • I just love the orchestra in the background! REAL MUSIC!

  • @87ReBorn24 I know! Now everything is computerized. I mean, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but when every single artist is doing it, it gets a bit old.

  • whoa! wat year was this?

  • lol, its funny to see that people think they are better then who watched x factor and listened to this song :)

  • Beyonce should take some notes on singing a good song like Aretha.

  • search  bolder gazet van antwerpen youtub

  • Thumbs up if your highschool woodshop teacher brought you here

  • @031311isit oh im sorry is her voice not as good as you wanted it to be ? who cares, she has talent! and no, im not saying shes better than aretha. but damn , so much hate. LOL im sorry shes not a hobo on the street trying to make a living and then popped in the x factor and have this wonderful amazing life changing story for everyone AND has talent. like come on. lol , stacy has talent. thats it. but its cool you had time to search her up on the internet to find more shit about her! WAY TO GO!

  • love you laurence

  • 66 People are not natural Women.

  • You better get Aretha!

  • FOR WHAT EVER YOU ARE ABOUT.A.F. IS THE ''MOTHER OF SOUL''

  • The original and only Queen of Soul forever!!!

  • Just watched Stacy Francis' version (never heard of her until this post) and she was great on The X Factor.

    It's too bad that Aretha has this (very talented) woman even mentioned in the same sentence with her name.

    SF is not in the same LEAGUE as Aretha Franklin. Maybe some day; but maybe some day I'll be eight feet tall.

  • Stacy i love you, Aretha i worship you

  • we have to be clear here in something for all the X factor viewers, ARETHA is ARETHA.. after see all these comments of stacy i searched her and she sounds pretty good actually, very, very, very, good... but i repeat ARETHA FRANKLIN, is ARETHA FRANKLIN... no one can replace her

  • i love this song i love this song!!!!!!!!!!

  • I can't believe some people think Demi Lovato's better than Aretha. If you search Demi's version you'll see such a dumb comments...I think you'll have to laugh when you see some people's dumbness ;)

  • Stacy Francis sings it way better than what she can. sorry no hate but in my opinion stacy is better!! :)

  • im only here because of Stacy francis. her performance was absolutely AMAZING!!!! love u stacy!!

  • Nope, nope, X Factor did not bring me here (I didn't even know someone did this song on there). I knew Aretha before any reality shows existed. The power of her voice and music brought me here.

  • No....I didn't need X Factor ( don't even watch it) ...Aretha has been in my heart and soul for mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnny years....it's just natural ...the woman kicks butt - has anyone listened or owned the double she put out ....wicked!

  • It's such a shame if you discovered this song and singer after the x factor!!!!

  • what  a beautiful song

  • her voice is amazing... that's all I'm going to say...

  • wow shes great

  • 荘厳なる力を持ちし声にて我を圧倒し感涙の姿無しには聴く事ので­きない歌声。まさにゴスペルの天才なりき!

  • Thumbs up if You didn't need the X Factor to already know Aretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul...

  • @madokira yeah I came here without watching the X factor, I actually listen to this song almost everyday.

  • Has anyone heard Demi Lovatos version of the song? Naturally it cant top Aretha but it was damn good!

  • Aretha began all that

    Stacy rocked it, but Aretha simply touches my soul with elegance and perfection

    Love her

  • jajaja STACY FRANCIS SMOKED aretha franklin!!! stacy is 1 billion times way better. 

  • Amazing voice!!!

  • Aretha - 100% love!!

    X-Factor - 100% HATE!!!!! FUCK OFF YOU CUNTS!!!

  • SHUT UP!

  • Adele is a good singer" but Teena Marie was better, and you never say a person sings a natural woman better than Aretha" that's crazy!!

  • Aretha is the queen

  • I came here because of ADELE!

  • I LOVE that part at 2:56 you really really make me feel.... love that potential of hers! Just beautiful!

  • How can people even compare Stacy Francis to this? People need to realize that belting out (or screaming) does not show musical skill. Aretha's tone is absolutely perfect, Stacy's isn't. 1:13 - 1:26 I've yet to see ANY other soulful singer hit this chorus with such emotion. Power? Sure some people might have the power. But what you come to realize is that power is just one aspect of singing that aretha has. More importantly she has the soul that no other singer has yet to sing.

  • @tuberyou573 Yeah, and power should be used very very clever, not all the time.. Aretha is the most greatest female singer of all time and the most skilled what popular music ever saw!

  • Thumbs up if you KNOW the Queen sings it best.

  • u watch x factor how sad

  • @somthinglikethatful tragically fucking sad

  • stacy francis is good , yes . but not better then this women right here . you also should watch *natural women - tiffanie anderson* <very good .

  • If you say Stacy Francis she did better than the queen you have NO appreciation for REAL MUSIC ! Go study and listen to music !

  • I'm sorry but Stacy Francis is NOT better than the queen. Stop it. Even Stacy Francis knows this.

  • Stacy Francis is better !!!

  • how sad is it that you go to hear classic amazing music and all the comments are about xfactor/american idol?! i guess its good ppl are learning about real music...but god everything is pop music these days huh?

  • stacy francis is better<3 i came here after watching her:)

  • Stacy Francis' amazing voice brought me here.

  • what is name of song that she is singing at the end??

  • @vankusiik i think BABY I LOVE YOU

  • @Nerona2111 Thank you I got it :)

  • How does she make it seem so easy!!!!!!!

  • THE DRESS.

  • this shit still gives me goosebumps god what a voice

  • wow nice video guys :)

    

  • 59 people arent natural women

  • Aretha is wonderful :)

  • thats Nicki Minaj???... Wait, wtf im talking about ...

  • search  bolder gazet van antwerpen

  • She's not the queen of soul, she's the QUEEN OF MUSIC

  • Not to say that Aretha Franklin couldn't have done it, but Stacy Francis sang the hell out of this song. And to be honest, she did it better than Aretha ever has. If that is possible. You need your ears examined if you don't think so.

  • Fuck X-Factor. I came here because it's goddamn Aretha Franklin.

  • yeah fuck thex factor long live the queen of soul

  • @GestureUK my opinion is stacy from xfactor sang this song in another way and i like her version more than this one,but no disrespekt to aretha franklin...peace

  • @taylan007m The thing is this amazing woman sang this way when no one even knew or understood what real soul was... stacy is amazing but aretha opened the door for all the great soul singers we have today, she was the best

  • @mariateresaandrade maria my comment was no disrespect against aretha franklin, please dont misunderstand me :) i love music with soul

  • @au90210 I agree. Beyonce is a little overrated to me.

  • aretha franklin will always be better than "the x factor" ._.
