To be fair, Aretha hasn't had good style since the 2000s. She was giving me cute church aunty in the 80s and 90s. But her wigs have especially been unacceptable since the new millennium began.

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!) This whole thing is a Got2BReal goldmine. I hope they at least do one special episode, if not a whole season.

Aretha performed this again on the Today Show this morning. I thought she looked nice but she looked like she was going out shopping for the day. She was wearing pants and a sweater around her shoulder. She sounded basically the same as she did on Letterman but with no Cissy Houston distractions. Lol.

Aretha is of that age when she doesnt even hear herself. To her she is pitch perfect. Truth be told disguised even during her prime with soul, were some really bad pitch issues. It's just now that instead of moments, its the entire performance.
I respect her too much to say what I wanna say about that performance. However if she keeps baiting me.....I'm weak.
It's interesting that a woman I dubbed as the funeral home singer is being covered by someone who has a foot (and all of her breasts that seem to cover all of her body) in the grave

As awful as that performance was, I now expect it to shoot to #1 on the charts for weeks on end and get played on radio stations across, America daaaahlings.

She was giving me cute church aunty in the 80s and 90s. That look actually worked a lot better. 90's Aretha was great. "A Rose Is Still A Rose" and "Here We Go Again" were amazing.

I still can't get over (The Aretha Version) as the subtitle. Oh, yes, two weeks ago when the story broke and writers (not here, of course) were saying Aretha will dominate the airwaves, she'll be hitting #1. As if. If Ree enjoys singing it and it gets her out there again and performing, more power to her - her legacy and influence - can never be tarnish, but I'll stick to Adele and Celine's live version, if I want an alternate.

Who is that? Whoever that was, should have just gone to campus instead of wasting time "dragging" a legend.

That was literally one of the worst live performances I've ever seen/heard. Just...wow.

LMAO! Bless her, she keeps botching the lyrics of "Rolling In The Deep." "At Last" didn't sound that bad. I prefer it to RITD.

These gurls try so hard to read and those who live in glass houses should never throw stones. That baby ass silver chain, those school mom glasses and that awful haircut. Ugh. Let Aretha do whatever she wants. If she wants to let her big titties drag the floor that's her business!

I dont think she sounded that bad, being a 72 year old woman. I mean of course she's not 25?

So at the G2BR clip. I could not handle Iyanla's voice. I had to stop to catch my breath a few times. I was thinking about G2BR after I saw Aretha's performance.
