Sister Franklin has been obese for many many years, has smoked relentlessly for most of her life and knows her way around the kitchen as well as any of our aunties. When are people going to realize that the only one who can tell her what to do is the Lord? She doing Gods work all these years. Cant nobody tell church singin Franklin woman what ta do...! HEEEEY

@almightyfire1 From Sparkle/Deeper Love, CHILD BYE! You are a fucking mess. Aretha can still sing her ass off and what you need to do is shut your bitter ass up. Go fuck yourself because no one else cares about the bullshit.

i always listen HOPING that she sounds somewhat good. i loved her from sparkle to willing to forgive/deeper love. after that it was hit and miss. more misses than hit. this here was horrible. her voice was too whiney now she sounded fine on a concert she had in july with the white dress on. aretha has made some bad decisions vocally and repoitore. she is chosing the same ole songs that isnt flattering to her range now.  she sounds better singing her stuff from columbia. she sounds

@almightyfire1 I don't know for the past thee decades her voice has had a whiney, screechy quality, but I think most female voices sound like that when they belt at the top of their lungs. She sounds better than she did ten years ago and looks better too. As for the wig, I'm sure she wants to look young not like somebody's grandmother.

I think Aretha sounds fine here. Her voice is sounding so much better and I think she looks good here. Almightyfire1 not trying to get into a debate, but just want to know do you like Aretha or her music? Seems to me you don't if all you have to say is nothing but negative remarks. Why are you listening to the posting if you obviously don't like her voice or her?

[almightyfire1]

NO! This is the comment section and my comment isnt diminished because I spoke the TRUTH! I notice u didnt necessarily DISagree you just told me to take my negative comments somewhere else. You know this sounds like crap.
