I never was really a fan of her then and I sure am not now… Oh and she looked like a fool in that hat! Fire you designer quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      This post shows just what an a$$ you really are. You deserve the "celebrity stataus" (and I use that term as loose(ly) as your a$$ probably is) as much as your namesake… you have no talent what so ever, May your bed sheets be eternally gummed by a pack of toothless camels…

      Have some respect, if not for yourself for those that came before you and made a difference in this world, In the case of your website… Content is not King

      Hey did anyone else notice she nicked the tune of our national anthem (Britain) God Save the Queen?
      and give her a break, she's a Leg, she can wear whatever she wants! I think she looked fierce- a bit weird, yes- but nonetheless FIERCE!!



    4. 204

      You dare talk badly about the Queen Of Soul….how dare you Mario!!!
      Do some reading up on the civil rights movement…you'll find out how Aretha's father was instrumental in it. She's human and most likely was just as overwhelmed with emotions as a lot of people were yesterday.
      Stop being an insensitive asshat and get your stories straight.



    5. 205

      Did she have a stroke or something? It seems that she doesn't pronouce the words correctly. Poor woman. I think she looked amazing. Size is not everything. Maybe she's happy with the way she is, Who are you perez to make fun of someone's weight? Go eat a fucking twinkie FAG.



    6. 206

      I agree she was way off. I guess the reality of the whole thing took control of her and her emotions stepped in. She definitely did not use it in a good way.



    7. 207

      Perez, what is worng with you today? Miss Aretha sounded just fine—She is older, and this was an emotional event for her. Additional points to her for rocking that big church hat—



    8. 208

      Yea the hat she wore has to go but her singing wasn't too bad. I mean it was freezing and I suppose that could have affected her voice. I have to admit I was brought to tears when I heard her sing. Quite an emotional, amazing and historical day.



    9. 209

      I loved the hat, loved the voice, love the lady.

      You, however, have no respect. That's r-e-s-p-e-c-t.



    10. 210

      Perez your such a Hater!!!! YOU KNOW YO MAMA TENGO UN HAT LO MISMO!I love me some Aretha…. im goin to THEYBF.com Young black and fabulous bitches! see you there!!!!



    11. 211

      I wish this fat, broke-ass bitch would just go away. She is digusting and ridiculous. When does screaming constitute singing. Fat pig.



    12. 212

      Perez, you have the worst musical taste of anybody I've ever known.

      Aretha rocked it. Go back to your freak show Euro music and leave normal people alone to listen to Aretha, the goddess.



    13. 213

      YOUR A STUPID FLAMER IF YOU THINK ARETHA SUCKS! YOU TOUT ALL THIS TECHNO BULLSHIT AND THEN DIS ARETHA



    14. 214

      Did someone ask you what she should wear? how she should look? apparently you love pointing the shallow stuff but look at yourself!!! Fugly, FAT, GROSS, TALENTLESS and ANNOYING. You should learn how to be a human being and start to work on yourself inside. YES YOU FAME WHORE.



    15. 215

      I thought her voice was powerful, but it wasnt the best… And I absolutaly HATED the hat… Sorry Aretha….

      So that's what she was singing- I had no idea-



    17. 217

      I felt really sorry for her.



    18. 218

      I'm surprised she didn't burp up a chicken wing

      You don't talk shit about Queen Aretha! You try singing in 27 degree weather, fat ass.



    20. 220

      I hardly even heard her… too busy paying homage to old Lizzie since the tune was God Save The Queen. Hell Yeah.

      Love for Aretha though, she is a living Leg-End… R.E.S.P.E.C.T. & all that jazz.



    21. 221

      Last few times of seeing the "Queen of Soul" perform, she was NOT on her game. Old, morbidly obese, no breath control whatsoever! Just listen to the first line in "My Country Tis of Thee", she can't even sing the first two words without a breath. The break sounds like she's referring to an intimate body part……and NOT the "Count-ry"….tee he he he.



    22. 222

      yeah i thought she butchered the song



    23. 223

      It must be really easy to talk shit behind your little computer screen… I'd love to see you have the balls to say something like that to her face… or ANY celebrity's face. You're just as bad as all those other "famous just because" girls running around. You're famous for talking shit. It's tasteless, it's low-class and you'll be a better person once you get your own life.



    24. 224

      Sounds like someone whacking a bag of cats with a hockey stick!

      She is a legend…however, that being said, there are times when legends should gracefully step out of the limelight before they become a parody of the way they were. I think this is true in Aretha's case. Also, she did not sing in 20 degree weather…the entire speaker's podium was heated to 76 degrees.
      There is a website up already that lets you see yourself wearing her hat!



    26. 226

      Oh poor Aretha. Remember she sang when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his 'I Have a Dream" speech. That was over forty years ago. It was less about her voice than the symbolism that she sang "God Bless America" when Dr. King gave his speech. Her hat was fabulous. In the words of Nini in The Real Housewives of Atlanta,"Big hats are an African American Tradition". It was all about history…American History.



    27. 227

      shes a ledgend she can do whatever she feels like!
      get it girl!



    28. 228

      they did a good job of hiding her morbid obesity with the huge hat, funnel neck coat, and enormous podium!!!!! As much as I love her older stuff, she really can't sing anymore. Her fat is choking her.



    29. 229

      It was moving. To say anything less just means your an ass!



    30. 230

      Am i the only person who realised this song is the British national anthem?! I feel like im taking crazy pills!!!!



    31. 231

      She looked like she could fly away with that hat! Go Flying Nun Aretha! To be honest, she didn't sound too good. I'm sure it had a lot to do with the 20 degree weather. Other than that, it wasn't that bad. Respect your legends America….. you seem to discard them instead of treasure them, like in Europe!



    32. 232

      I farted!!!!!



    33. 233

      she can´t hit the high notes anymore, happens to a lot of singers when they cross the magic 60 line…



    34. 234

      I thought it was very beautiful and well-executed. This is classic soul, not some amalgam of soul with other genres that we are used to hearing on the radio. I also thought she looked beautiful. That is the way many older African-American women dress for church services.



    35. 235

      i love aretha but her past couple of performances haven't been good. i believe she was on dancing with the stars a few months back and i remember thinking "what happened…" and now this. geeez. sad !

      ring. ring. ring. ring (rrrrriiiinnnnggg).
      lol
      that part in the school was funny ;]



    36. 236

      it wasn't bad but it wasn't good



    37. 237

      Uh, Where is the white entertainment? Why didn't they have not one white singer, god!



    38. 238

      Uh, Where is the white entertainment? Why didn't they have not one white singer, god! Everything is so racist about this! Perez, you are such a dumb fat X listed, nothing. No one cares about gays getting married!



    39. 239

      She sounds awful.



    40. 240

      sounded good to me.



    41. 241

      i think it's awesome that she tells someone to Shut Up! near the end.. lol ho means business!



    42. 242

      Yikes…She sucks really awful.



    43. 243

      wow, i'm glad I wasn't there! her voice is killing my ears!
      she should have just sung it normal, instead of repeating it!



    44. 244

      I actually liked the hat but my coffee just about came out of my nose when she started the song with "My CU NT-try Tis of the"



    45. 245

      I liked everything about this. Including her hat. Come on, it's Aretha Franklin! She's a legend.
