Twenty two minutes after she was asked to cover for her ailing friend, Luciano Pavarotti, Aretha Franklin takes the stage to perform the legendary aria "Nessun Dorma", a piece she sang previously a few days earlier (in her own register, I might add), without changing Pavarotti's key - which is no minor achievement. It begets one of the most extraordinary musical moments in awards show history. It brought the audience to a thunderous ovation.

I have seen Turandot live. I have heard it performed, live, from classically-trained vocalists. I *am* a classically-trained vocalist. This performance gives me chills EVERY TIME I hear it. Swag.

Well-said. And think of it this way: imagine Pavarotti singing Respect or Rock Steady live on twenty minutes notice

#classic...for those of you bashing THE QUEEN OF SOUL...do you think your pop idol could EVER be asked to sing Nessun Dorma by Luciano Pavarotti...I'm sure the answer is NO....so #fallback and #watchthethrone

I'm sorry but this mad me laugh so hard I almost died. I know this pissed somebody off somewhere because this could have been sung properly by someone who is trained in opera.

My mouth hung open the whole song. If I hadn't heard it myself, I would not have believed it. I don't know why I would've doubted it, though. She can sing the dictionary and blow me away.

She had sung the song two days before....but she only had twenty two minutes to sing this arrangement and she's singing it in a different key than she would usually sing in

Why are folks stuck on the 22 minutes notice when Sting clearly says she performed it two days earlier, which means she's rehearsed it countless times.

I love aretha and she can sing just about everything and anything i think she only had a half hour to learn this song and she made it her own i don't think no other female artist has the talent that she has she should be called the QUEEN OF MUSIC she's hard to beat
