Sounds like: Wow wow wow. She actually has great range still considering she's 72 now, but that's no excuse to go from 0 to 100 and right back down to 0 (and repeat cycle) in four second loops. Show some control! And yes, the production sounds straight out of one of those 90's karaoke CD's that you'd see on sale for $2.99 at Costco. Yikes.

I think they interpolated "Ain't No Mountain" because they based the production on the Villa remix which is disco-ish.

Live version- not sure what language she was singing in for most of it. Sadly, she seems quite confident about her voice and how she sounds :

Better than not sounding confident, I say. I liked the performance, definately much better than the CD version.

She sounded awful in that performance. The only difference between it and the album version is the fact that the live band and background singers drowned her out.

She looked like she was NOT advised that this was a televised performance. I've never seen somebody so uninterested in anything.

Everyone on Facebook/online is talking about Cissy though. And not Aretha's horrible vocals. Maybe this was Clive's plan all along.

I wonder why Cissy didn't get the memo to dance and smile during a televised performance?
Seeing her Wiki, I didn't realize she had sung backup for Aretha throughout the years!

Well something must have worked because I was shocked when I looked at the ITunes Top 200 Main singles chart and there was Aretha at num.76. (go Aretha)

Cissy seemed like she was trolling that performance on purpose. She looks like she isn't here for Aretha's nonsense.

That performance is AWFUL. Worse than the studio version, in my opinion. Aside from the vocals, she managed to f**k up the lyrics even more. Loved Cissy's reaction though. And please put a bra on, Aretha. Damn.

Eh, I think it's fine that big women have an anthem they can all release as a single. I'm excited for Kelly Clarkson's upcoming version.

I'm looking forward to a live performance tho. It may be great for comedy value And I nailed it! Lol The whole Cissy gif worthy 'performance' (instead of RITD she's mimicking what? Pee pee pee! / gold ameniTAY! Lmao) And Aretha, bless her soul, she misses keys, mumbles, and sang like a mental . I saved it as a favorite for when I need some good laughs

I was too busy laughing at Cissy the first time to notice Aretha's vocals.
The second time watching this video, oh boy, she was OFF. PITCH.

I wish Got 2B Real was still around...I can only imagine what Patti and Dionne would say about Cissy in the background of Aretha's performance. (Also leave that woman alone, if she wants her tig ol bitties hanging out on David Letterman, let ha!)

I don't know what to say about Cissy. lol. Someone needs to tell Cissy to go with Naomi Campbell so she can learn how to properly pick out a wig. And then she needs some new lipstick.
