Can't She Afford A Better Wig?

Filed under: Music Minute

What the EFF is that poodle on her head?

Well, she is Aretha Franklin so we guess she can wear what she wants!

The Queen of Soul performed at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida wearing a stunning gown and a HEINOUS wig.

Bring back the hat!

Damn straight! she can do, wear or say anything she wants. She's Aretha-fucking-franklin! She's been raging hardcore since before any of us were even born! Girl has paid her dues, leave her alone!

She is a fat ass cow HAS BEEN. The cow has not been relevant since 1982. The sad excuse of saying she is the Queen of Soul is not good enough. She needs to put down the turkey leg and her spoon for the mash potatoes and stay the hell off the stage. I hear cattle bells ringing somewhere…Go inside Ree

Re: mattyesmateo – …you obviously know NOTHING about music, or History.. and u obviously have NO respect for the women who paved the way for girls of all races to break into the industry today! Aretha Franklin is a modern day goddess and I would consider reading a book or two about American music history and see if you don't eat your words. OH..BTW, I'm pretty sure she sang at Obama's inauguration…And he's only the leader of the free world!!!!! Soooo in what way has she not been relevant??????????? In fact don't answer that, your ignorance is remarkable. Just because you don't know anything about a particular artist doesn't make them irrelevant! And welcome to America..everyone is fat. get used to it.

You don't have the right to even say Aretha's name let alone comment about anything regarding her. STFU before you get hurt you fucking pig

And a nutritionist and a make-up artist and a waxer? Why is it that the people with the most money always look like the biggest trainwrecks?

P U …I can smell the sweat from her folds of fat. She WAS the queen of soul. She's just a poor excuse for an entertainer, NOW. I paid tons of money to see her and all the fat bitch did was complain about the air conditioner. She stopped during songs and threatened the venue staff that she would leave if her demands weren't met. REALLY PROFESSIONAL!!! Go back into retirement!!!

Actually Mario, she cannot afford a higher quality wig. She spent all her money on food.

Mario, you only wish your wig looked as good as hers.

I'd rather have someone who looks like her and can actually sing than anyone of these "artists"(who only get by on their looks or weird gimmicks) that are out today. I hope that made sense, I drank a little tonight.

Sweetie….Aretha is a bonfide talent and talent as such doesn't need to be masquerade with wigs, outrageous Lady Gagaesque oufit. I'm sure those who were at this event enjoyed her soulful voice and honestly probably didn't even f..ucking notice the wig. Perez…stick to what you're good at…picking on or gossiping about teenage celebrities….

Umm, Pig Face, you really shouldn't be knocking anyone's hair.

That fake-ass wig is the least of her worries. She should be more concerned that she looks like a giant pile of bloody shit.

i would like to say she went straight from the gym to the stage. Thats obviously not the case here. As for the wigs, she ate them all. Especially the really good ones.
