ARETHA FRANKLIN LIVE NEW YORK RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL

[robertsnowden19]

Not bad for age! She sounds really good!

[EmpressMahalia]

ANYONE who says that Aretha has lost her vocal power should listen to this and several other recordings of late....We are STILL in the 'Age of Aretha'......and we bask in the glory of the Lord with her.

[oneloveatatime]

I agree Empress. I couldnt have said it better myself

[SoulSir]

Are u tone-deaf? No, its not a rhetorical question. She sounds horrible. Her voice sounds dead becuz of her lack and neglect of taking care of it.

[TheQueenAretha]

Oh hell naw, are you deaf are just plain retarded. I think you are just a retard. Nothing about this was horrible. Aretha sounds so amazing. Soulful, powerful, and regal. She still has beauty to her voice. She is wrapped in soul and emotion and you hear it. Her voice has aged but not at all has she lost what made her Queen. She still has more soul in one finger than most have in their entire body. Like EmpressMahalia said, "We are STILL in the 'Age of Aretha'" and i agree with every word.

[SoulSir]

Your, commentary sounds ridiculous but keeping typing ur meaningless responses, they make me laugh. Once again she sounds horrible. Her voice sounds dead because of her lack of taking care of it.

[TheQueenAretha]

Fuck do you think people give a flying fuck what you say about Aretha. Tell me something, if you don't like Aretha voice so much then why are you on this video. Get the fuck out of here with your two faced ass. You aren't a real Aretha fan, why don't you go somewhere else. There is nothing horrible sounding about this performance. She sounds utterly amazing. The only thing that is dead are your brain cells. You would have to be a damn fool to say that. Her voice is still a gift from god.

[TheQueenAretha]

You know what you are so pathetic. You have nothing good to do but hate on Aretha. Newflash, she isn't going to ever sound the way she did in the 60's and 70's but when you a Aretha that doesn't matter because she was able to adapt. She still has the gift of expressing herself. No one can express themselves like Aretha. She is still The Queen and she can still make you believe everything she is saying. Just like she did with this song, Nothing about her voice is dead, it is alive and well.

[SoulSir]

Well, duh, genius, she won't ever sound like she did back in her hay-day, nor sound better today. Keep typing your humorous tone-deaf commentary.

[TheQueenAretha]

The only one who is tone-deaf is you, alone with being brain dead. Aretha for her age sounds amazing and i don't care what you or anyone say. She is still amazing and a wonder to listen to.

[SoulSir]

Are u tone-deaf?

[TheQueenAretha]

Are you FUCKING RETARDED! Only a deaf ass idiot would think this was horrible. This was an amazing performance. You are so fucking stupid.

[SoulSir]

Are u tone-deaf? No, its not a rhetorical question!! p.s. i think she sounds horrible, i know she sounds terrible.

[TheQueenAretha]

SoulSir you are a fucking IDIOT! You are nothing but a retarded dummy. Aretha doesn't sound horrible, she sounds amazing. You got to be nothing but a retarded fool to think this is bad when Aretha is in great voice. The only thing horrible and terrible about this is having you STUPID ASS on this video.

[SoulSir]

You redefine that old saying, "What a Fool believes", Lmao!. Please by all mean keep typing your idiotic responses, they make me, lol!

[TheQueenAretha]

My God! Everytime you make a comment you show how stupid you really are. I can't believe some of the shit that comes from you. You are an idiot. Plain and Simple.

[tirayi]

This artist.....!

I always wonder when i hear this song if the couple that inspired the song know that they inspired it....?

Especially here in NY. Maybe they were at Radio City this very night.

[SoulSir]

The audio is horrible but @ the 3;31 mark & beyond, Ree brought it on home.

[mhax3]

[miguelkanye]

God save the queen!

[recordtuve]

Amazing voice...

Janis Joplin said she is the best chick singer since Billie Holiday.

"You, Aretha, have always been and still are my only vocal mentor."

Chaka Khan, Bet Awards, (2003).

[yaskam]

"I'm really inspired by talent, it doesn't threaten me. I wish I could sing like Aretha FRANKLIN. Those fantastic high notes she hits"

Barbra STREISAND, Playboy, (10/1977).

[yaskam]

"She's more important than her music — if they must be separated — and they should be separated when she has to pass out before anyone recognizes she needs a rest and i say i need aretha's music".

Nikki GIOVANNI, "A Poem for Aretha", Re: Creation (1970).
