furst. oh!

Why is B always posing, damn be natural! I love me some B but DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Aretha and all but she’s getting too big. Health Issues……

lol no comment. funny shyt though.

this woman needs to get over herself and that “queen” title…she acts as if they really gave her big ass a crown….

Aretha dont play hoes!

this was all too silly for me…

Omg!! Am I in the top 10?

The rest of that statement read that she was okay with it though, and still had love for them…

Retha should be worrying about other things beside notariaty cuz it’s all love, we SEE YOU retha, do you see you?

beyonce dont know what natural is

Sorry I Love Aretha & Respect Her Role In Music History….but yall could agree that she’s overdramatic about it.

Come on, for real?

Damn she got huge… Aretha got to cut down on inhaling that food i want her to live longer….

beyonce’s dress in a fool!

Yeah, Miss Aretha is back in the sixties! I mean we all love and respect her but she should give it a rest and learn how to dress in the bargain. She looks a hot mess and is an embarrassment. Doesn’t she look in the mirror before she leaves her house? Damn woman lose some weight and cover up those horrendous arms and gigantic titties hanging to your knees. Don’t you care how you look and that you are representin?

sorry, is a fool

actually she has lost alot of weight if you go to crunk they have the before and after pics she really looks alot better that before!

I’m for giving respect when it’s due but I think Re-Re took that whole QUEEN statement out of context. There was nothing controversial in Beyonce saying that unless you make it that way. It’s not like Beyonce said the “queen of soul” anyway. TOO DIVA!

On a side note:

It’s funny looking at the side-by-side comparison of Aretha and Beyonce. Aretha is the size of three Beyonces. That’s crazy and dangerously unhealthy.

I think she is taking the whole “queen” thing to far

@ victory is mine—I agree she act like she has 4real been titled the queen, she act like she living like queen Elizabeth and she was just de-throned. Get it together Re-Re

LOL @ the weight comments—she is looking a little to thick to be in that dress, I am all for being loving who u are, but DAMN>>>>>>>>>>

I expect the young to not understand why Aretha was rubbed the wrong way by that. If you know Aretha’s history, you should understand. Beyonce, being that she isn’t too bright, probably paid no attention to what she was saying, and didn’t mean to step on Aretha’s toes. But there could have been some behind-the-scene drama going on with Aretha and the Grammy’s or somebody. Whoever was responsible for that piece, it was in bad taste.

Who proclaimed Aretha the Queen of the world??? I’ve heard her called the “Queen of Soul” but that doesn’t mean she can get her panties in a bunch (ew… bad visual) everytime someone else is called a Queen. She needs to get over herself. Even Michael J had the sense not to get all hyped when Whitney kept calling Bobby B the King of R&B. And BTW, who knew spaghetti straps could be so strong???? That ish must be made out of parachute line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!

WELL ARETHA IS THE QUEEN UNTIL THIS DAY NO ONE HAS MATCH HER VOICE AND UNLIKE BEYOUNCE ARETHA IS PURE TALENT….FUTHERMORE IT IS ABOUT TIME BEYOUNCE ADMITS SHE HAS BEEN STEALING TINA TURNER’S STYLE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING ALONG WITH JLO, SHAKIRA, AMERI,KELIS ETC. BEYOUNCE SHOULD ALSO ADMIT SHE STOLE GOLDY HAUN’S AND GRACE KELLY’S HAIR STYLES OH AND JLO’S ……

@ Yes I Said it…

You are definitely right, Bey could have been thinking, the Queen of Rock & Roll cause that’s Tina’s main genre. Are-fa gotta know that someone like Bey is NOT gonna disrespect those that basically blazed the music trail before her…especially the women.

DAMN I THOUGHT THAT PIC OF BEYONCE WAS JADA PINKETT..

ON TO ARETHA…

I HOPE SHE KEEPS MONEY CAUSE I KNOW ALL THE MATERIAL SHE USES FOR CLOTHES ARE HELLA EXPENSIVE.. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO WRAP A TENT AROUND HER ASS TO COVER UP THEM TONKA TRUCKS SHE GOT IN HER DRESS.

OK, she looks like Ursula the Sea Witch, but Aretha really is the queen. There is no one, NO ONE, singing today who can ride with her classic work. Only opera singers come close to that kind of power, and even they don’t have that much soul. I think Aretha was chastizing Beyonce for being unlearned in the traditions of African American songcraft.

It’s not that serious!!!I don’t see no ones face/name on the $$$ bills…Aretha “QUEEN OF SOUL” Tina “QUEEN OF ROCK AND ROLL” and Beyonce “SHE’S A QUEEN DIVA” nor do you wear a crown…..Here’s a tit for all of u

1. Aretha …..Rock the gym!

2. Tina…….Keep on Rocking!

3. Beyonce…..U JUST Rock…go Bey!

LMAO URSULA THE SEA WITCH!!

Hurray for Aretha! I’m glad she is not playing into this crap! I love Bey, but she should be more careful when she speaks. Damn writers strike!

Tee Tee

It’s not that serious!!!I don’t see no ones face/name on the $$$ bills…Aretha “QUEEN OF SOUL” Tina “QUEEN OF ROCK AND ROLL” and Beyonce “SHE’S A QUEEN DIVA” nor do you wear a crown…..Here’s a tit for all of u

1. Aretha …..Rock the gym!

2. Tina…….Keep on Rocking!

3. Beyonce…..U JUST Rock…go Bey!

^^

LL COOL J – ROCK THE BELLS

WHISPERS – ROCK STEADY

BOBBY BROWN – ROCK WITCHU

SHOP BOYS – PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR

I think I already saw this on another urban gossip site today. Do y’all post anything original?

LOL Aretha is taking it a little too serious. She seemed emotionally offended by it. She should know she is the queen. Further the only damn toes that had been stepped on was Tinas, when Beyonce got too close to croon with her and Tina went “Oh!” Beyonce is in la-la land with her success, that is all. She will never come down from it.

the queen of HOLLERING and looking A HOT MESS…and aretha your are to big for that short haircut get a WEAVE OR WIG ASAP

Note to ReRe – you aren’t REALLY a queen. It’s an honorary (read made up) title and it’s o.k. to share your toys.

Areatha looks a mess and should stay in the house. She outta be ashamed of herself.

Oh snap it just clicked….they have the same dress on……why? LOL

Aretha needs to be worried about her health, image, and look. All of that flesh has no business being on display. No one, and I mean no one wants to see any of that. She does realize that the ‘Queen of Soul’ moniker was a compliment, not an actual state of royalty, right? She needs to work on some new material instead of singing those 60s classics everytime she’s asked to be on a show.

its what Matthew Knowles said about the situation. I cant stand his ole whoring a**.

1. While everybody’s calling Aretha big – Beyonce is going to be big & swoll her damned self.

2. Aretha isn’t up on what’s current so coming from old Motown days & The Chitlin’ Circuit…maybe she had the right to get a little offended.

3. Yes it was a bit DIVA-ish, but everybody has a title or gives themself one. She’s been in the game a long time I guess she felt like “Who is this young ass girl giving this woman my title?”

4. Beyonce never thinks before she speaks. Nobody runs at Jay when he says he’s the greatest rapper and cuts down other rappers.

5. Hell, Aretha has put in her work – let her complain a lil bit. She didn’t talk bad about anyone, she just felt like defending herself.

6. Can everybody stop attacking people who say something about Beyonce? The chick has been wearing weave since she was 10 and is from Houston – I’m sure she can defend herself. She’s not a damned helpless deer.

7. Everything anybody says will get blown out of the water. I’m sure Aretha was sitting up relaxing with her hands resting on her tits when she said that. Folk act like she was snapping & neck rolling.

I am a stan love B and Camel! B looks lovely as always, that dress is banging. Aretha needs to chill for a minute.

Aretha is buggin… Tina is a queen in her own Right! She eraned it, and so Is Diana Ross and Patti Labbelle…Is it that damn serious??…Aretha get’s a Hoe sit yo Big Ass down!!

When you are talking about music the word QUEEN is synonymous with Arethia Franklin. That’s why shows need writers; a writer would have caught that. She might not meant any harm but they would have suggest another direction with that intro. Naming all those great ladies then saying Tina was the only one who embodies all the qualities they have was a little to much. I know she was trying to hype Tina but all that was uncall for. I thought this while watching, but I guess this is what Beyonce thinks.

beyonce did loose alot of weight probably in anticipation for her grammy performance .. but she need to stay on top of her physique otherwise this pic they have could be a prophetic before and after picture

she know Bey didnt mean nuthin by it! N E Wayz! Next!

Tina is the Queen of Rock. I mean can’t there be other queens? Lil Kim is the Queen Bee,Queen of Hip Hop and Soul Mary J. She needs to get a grip.

beyonce is stupid as hell! I was surprised when she referred to old ass Tina as the Queen. Tina isn’t on Aretha’s level.

I think the comment is being read wrong & in a nasty tone. The press has some ish with them.

We understand it’s a health issue, but what does Aretha being big have to do with what she said?

We know she likes to eat, hell her boyfriends name is Catfish, lol.

For real though – ya’ll need to stop calling that woman big. I’m sure Tina Turner wouldn’t disrespect her why are ya’ll?

Tina is the queen of crossover though – for real. She went past soul and added some rock to it. Each of them contributed a lot to Beyonce & a host of others careers…ummm who are now MAINSTREAM.

ReeRee is also the “Queen of Drama”

A real QUEEN would never allow herself to look like Aretha look. ReRe need to be more concerned about her obesity & health than a damn title. She didn’t just wake up over night looking like that. That body was 30yrs in the making. At what point do you put down the PIG FEET.

Fantasia body is already 5yrs into looking like Aretha.

Twenty years from now if someone else call themselves queen bootylicious; Beyonce would have something to say, like she invented booty shaking.

Beyonce is truly a dumb blonde. Just like when she jacked that song from Desree she said “I did it, everybody liked it, so I put it on the album – they told me to put it on the album.”

Come on – you’re an adult. The woman told you no – that’s stealing.

ARETHA IS THE QUEEN TINA CAME AFTER ANYWAYS

http://WWW.MYSPACE.COM/THAGRINDAHOLIC

CHECK THA NEW KNOCK

“HYPHY WIFEY”

man she should have thought about what she said being Aretha performed that night. Beyonce needs speech therapy.

I don’t think Bey meant anything by that Queen statement. We all know she speaks before she thinks anyway. And BTW, those spaghetti straps on Aretha’s dress? WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. Just WRONG.

Queen of what? Aretha is the Queen of Soul.Mary is the Queen of hip hop and r&b.Queen of what? She did not specify. Don’t twist those grammaw draws in a bunch yet!

THANK YOU GRAVATOR, SET THESE YOUNG IDOL WORSHIPPERS STRAIGHT…….. ARETHA FRANKLIN IS THE QUEEN. BEYOUNCE WILL NEVER GET THE RESPECT ARETHA GETS BECAUSE ARETHA IS PURE TALENT, NO GROUPS,NO BUTT SHAKING,CONTROVERSY,STYLE STEALING, RAPPER BOYFRIENDS ETC. NO MATTER WHAT BEYOUNCE DOES SHE WAS NOT BORN WITH A VOICE LIKE THE QUEEN. ITS SIMPLE ARETHA FRANKLIN THE QUEEN AND THE FOUNDATION THAT PAVED THE WAY FOR MANY WOMEN IN ALL FORMS OF SINGING, AND MUSIC…..ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT ARETHA IS NOT MAKING THE MONEY FOR HER GREATNESS

@ PRTTY you are damn right. I wonder when we are older and Beyonce is OLDER, will she be slim and trim. She balloons. We all balloon. I just dont why people think she is God because she human with a lot more money.

How dare she NOT acknowledge the Kween?? But seriously, Retha needs to stop eating all that fried food and hit the gym and trainer HARD for her upcoming wedding. She just wore that dress last month too.. smh

B n Kelly are very much alike. They both say things to kiss azz at that moment and it always sounds fake. Kelly always kiss B’s azz when B is the topic. And B says things to kiss azz whatever the stuation may be, like that one time when she performed(i think) in front of Latinos and said she wish she was born Latino?!

So, If I was Aretha I would’ve ignored that statement fully. Becuz if it were someone else, she performed with she would’ve said the same or somewhat the same.

Aretha has more right than Tina to be the Queen.

People need to stop complaining about her wearing the same dress.

Folk will talk when/if she makes the front page w/a “The Queen is Bankrupt” story too. Good thing she isn’t.

At least she’s not wasting all of her money like some or stay getting caught out by the paps shopping – next thing you know they’re trying to sell ish their ass has been in on eBay or attempting to pass it off as an “Auction or Fundraiser.”

If she were making vain statements like Puff “I never wear anything twice” she’d get dragged through the mud and his ass is lying.

Hell, wear your dress Aretha.

What is a Stan? anyone? Bueller?

I am far from a beyonce stan…i don’t really like her at all…im saying that aretha has done this before…everytime the “queen” title is mentioned and her name is not spoken behind it, she has a fit…she did the same thing when someone called patti the “queen”. aretha is a legend and she should know that by now. does everyone have to keep stroking her massive ego just to keep her satified…

I AM BY FAR A BEYONCE FAN. BUT COME ON, SHE IS ENTITLED TO HER OWN OPINION ON WHO THE SO CALLED “QUEEN” IS. AND WHO SHE CHOOSES TO IDOLIZE. THATS HER BUISINESS. ARETHA HAS NASTY DIVA ATTITUDE, AND THINKS THAT THE WORLD IS SUPPOSED TO WORSHIP HER. SHE SHOULD SHUT THE HELL UP, SERIOUSLY.

wait wait wait….i grew up with ppl well over 50yrs old when i was a child, i never heard them call any type of entertainer a Queen…not even king(i.e. michael j)they just called him michael jackson cuz thats his name…his title is MR. ok i got a headache now…my nerves bad

I think someone is trying to start a battle where there isn’t one. I think she probably made a simple statment and it is being blown out of proportion. I don’t think she is that petty. Why are they always trying to pit women of color against each other. I think that this is silly and I think someone is trying to make something where there is nothing.

@ Bria…

I agree. As I stated earlier:

“I think the comment is being read wrong & in a nasty tone. The press has some ish with them.”

GET OVER IT “YOUR BLOGGER CHECK FROM BEYOUNCE IS ON THE WAY SAME TIME AS USUAL”….LOL, LOL,LOL

aretha’s mad because tina is as old as she is, and looked 10,000 times BETTER; THAT’S why she’s upset. beyonce, like her part in the performance, is totally irrelevant.

Them old ladies is before my time, but according to my encyclopedia, Aretha is more qualified for Queen than Tina could ever be

Ever

aretha’s problem is that she believes that she really is a queen. granted, she may be the queen of soul, but tina is the queen of rock ‘n roll. and it’s not like beyonce introduced her as the queen of soul. aretha needs to chill and go inhale a turkey or something…

Aretha is too grown for that nonsense…

Tina and Aretha do not sing the same types of music I think that Tina is the queen of what she does and Aretha is the queen of what she does, there really isn’t a comparison between the two so for her to get fussy about that is crazy.

A real QUEEN would never allow herself to look like Aretha look. ReRe need to be more concerned about her obesity & health than a damn title. She didn’t just wake up over night looking like that. That body was 30yrs in the making. At what point do you put down the PIG FEET.

Fantasia body is already 5yrs into looking like Aretha

ARETHA IS THE QUEEN.

THE QUEEN OF OBESITY.

it’s always the fat chick that wanna start mess with the skinny chicks….

Did Beyonce even write that “intro” herself? Who cares? Is she mad at Mary for being the Queen of Hip Hop Soul? Sheesh…

wait, wasn’t aretha supposed to perform in the gospel segment with mary j., then the grammys changed it at the last minute? maybe that’s why she’s upset.

@WTF??

when mary first came out, aretha had a BIG problem with them calling her “the queen of hip hop soul”.

@ getoverit

they’re seeking beyonce’s approval?? LMAO!!!

beyonce is a robot; she does what she’s told. the writers’ told her to call tina the queen, so she did it. and aretha was just pointing out how much of a puppet beyonce really is. why do you think she went back to blond lacefronts? LMAO

Reformed GammaRay—

Retha should be worrying about other things beside notariaty cuz it’s all love, we SEE YOU retha, do you see you?

________________________________________________

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

Re-Re is, literally, too big for all that petty foolishness.

I mean, that moment was about Tina, not Aretha.

If Beyonce’ had introduced her, then she would’ve said the same thing about her.

Now, we all know that Aretha is the Queen of Soul; and, by now, she should know that, too.

But, if she needs to be reminded of that, at some award show, then that’s her problem.

***SMH***

Tina is a Queen in her own right.

Aretha does not like to share her “title, Queen” with anyone.

Apparently, she doesn’t like to share her food either!!! A little generosity on her part would be both charming and healthy.

i feel areatha since she is a real musician. c’mon she has a thing for this thing called musicianship, i know. she write, play piano, sings all that. Tina and bey only dance and can half sing in comparison to the queen, thus them having their own written, hmmm not sure.

@areatha ma bear i love your size that is a grandma suppose to be like who can hold the church up. They don’t know. You are the queen.

get off her weight nuckas she’s a grandma that can blow ya’ll do know madam mahayla jackson, k nough said

It was just an introduction. Aretha is too “big headed” Patti LaBelle can outsing them all

Aretha is just trying to bring drama…why else would you go to the press and issue a statement about this?

the REAL thing we should be talking about is the behind the scenes fight with Aretha and Mary J. Blige…they were scheduled to sing their Grammy winning song, but BeBe was brought in at the last minute….Aretha was questioned and said, “the stage ain’t big enough for me and Mary.”

Hmmmmmmm….ego ego ego!

Okay…Aretha is my girl Bey is disposable but I don’t blame Bey on this one…and I”m wondering did Aretha and Bey have on the same dress??? Could that be the problem? You know Whitney and Mimi wasn’t having it that year…

I just like tha pic of them both with the yellow dress, Beyonce betta be careful that’s a before & after of her life lmao

Aretha needs to shut the “f” up. Dang…

@ kzzme….whats up gurl?!

Aretha just mad she looks fat in her dress.

Aretha needs to fall back before a get a couple hommies together to handle that mess.

WHY O WHY

IS ARETHA LOOKING LIKE A GIANT BANANA MOON PIE!!

OR BETEER YET QUEEN OF THE BANANA MONN PIES!!!

MOON…OOPS

HEY KZZ!

Aretha should get the HOE SIT DOWN award.

Just because you look like the sun doesn’t mean the world revolves around you.

IT IS SO TRUE THAT THE MEDIA CAN SENSATIONALIZE SOME THINGS. BUT AFTER A WHILE, IF YOU ARE A NASTY PERSON, THEN THERE IS ONLY SO MUCH “SENSATIONALIZATION” THAT REALLY GOES INTO IT. ARETHA HAS BEEN QUOTED OVER THE YEARS FOR SAYING SOME THINGS THAT ARE UNCALLED FOR. THERE IS BUT SO MUCH “PUTTING WORDS INTO ONES MOUTH” THAT THE MEDIA CAN REALLY DO. WHO CARES IF YOU HATE BEYONCE, AND YOU THINK THAT ARETHA IS THE BE ALL TO END ALL. WHO CARES HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT TINA TURNER. ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS IS THAT WE ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OWN OPINIONS. WHETHER YOU LIKE BEYONCE OR NOT, SHE IS ENTITLED TO FEEL OR SAY THAT TINA TURNER (to her) IS THE QUEEN. WHAT WRITTEN LAW SAYS THAT ARETHA FRANKLIN CHUB ROCK BEHIND IS THE QUEEN OF SOUL??!!!!! SHE MAY BE SLATED THAT BY SOME, BUT TRUST ME, EVERYONE DOESNT FEEL THAT WAY. I PERSONALLY COULD CARE LESS TO LISTEN TO ARETHA. I COULD CARE MUCH LESSER WHO HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT IT. IT ALL GOES BACK TO WHAT “I” AM ENTITLED TOO, AND WHAT MY TASTE CALLS FOR. PEOPLE JUST WANT TO ATTACK BEYONCE BECAUSE SHE’S BEYONCE. BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS SOME OF YOU LIKE THE WACKEST, MOST UN-TALENTED MORONS. YOUR LIL BOOTSIE’S, AND YOUR SOLDIER BOY’S AND ALL THAT FOOLISHNESS, BUT IF I ATTACKED YOU AND TOLD YOU WERE AND IDIOT FOR LIKING WACK MUSIC, YOU’D BE PISSED BECAUSE I WAS INFRINGING UPON YOUR RIGHT TO LIKE OR ENJOY WHAT YOU WANT TO ENJOY. GET THE *$*&% OUTTA HERE!! LIKE I SAID, ARETHA NEEDS TO SHUT THE HELL UP, AND SHE’S LATE DOING IT. AND LIKE LOVELY QUEEN SAID, PATTI LABELLE CAN OUT SING THEM ALL, BOTTOM LINE!!!

Aretha: Will always be Queen of Soul, and yeah she could lose some weight, but stop ackin like there are no over weight peoples in yo family.

Tina will always be the bomb, too.

Beyonce, let see if 40 yrs from now, we’re still singing her songs?

Aretha has always been known for her ego. OMG she’s the Queen of Soul and Beyonce didn’t say that Tina was the Queen of Soul. Every one can be a queen, I mean she better be glad that the girl mentioned her. You don’t hear Whitney or any of the other women she mentioned saying anything. How do you not get that she was introducing Tina Turner, someone that is obviously a huge influence her? Why would she give Aretha more props than Tina at that moment and time? Wow! Aretha in my eyes, before she started screaming, had the second greastest voice I’ve ever heard and by far the most soulful. But damn ReeRee stop being so sensitive, Tina deserves all the props she can get.

Cry me a river.

SO if they call Patti Labelle or Whitney or Diana Ross a queen at another major music show will she throw a fit then too?

Good Golly Miss Molly!

HEY KZZ

CANT SPEAK !!! HOPE YOU AINT BITTER OVER ME STEALING BLAIR..LOL

KZZ

Queen of Pop… Madonna

King of Pop… Michael Jackson

Queen of Hip Hop… Mary J Blige

King of Hip Hop… UNKNOWN

King of the South…T.I. (disputed)

Queen of Crunk… Ciara

King of Crunk… Lil Jon

I didn’t make this up, this is what’s been said for years so next time Beyonce is rambling off at the mouth she can at least get the record straight!

KZZ

OHH KZZ YOU GOT A 9 HUH!!

I GOT A A.K. WHAZ HATNIN…LOL

@ Simply Ecstasy

TOO MUCH ECSTASY

QUEEN OF R&B MARY J BLIGE

LOL—KING OF R&B BOBBY LOL BROWN—(THATS WHAT WHITNEY SAID)

Beyonce…duh

LOL

Oh yea forgot…

Queen of the South… Trina (also disputed) but Khia and Jacki O don’t have what it takes to hold down it.

Queen of I had a life in the projects and Im gonna cry and wail and holla about the fact that I aints got to take it no more and Im free in all my songs till Im 100!!!

Bobby can’t be king of nothing except crack.

BOBBY KING OF CRACK ANF CHICKEN WINGS

AND

@ Simply Ecstasy…

Mary J is the Queen of Hip Hop SOUL

and Tina Turner is known as the Queen of Rock and Roll…

so is it really a diss?

@ Simply Ecstasy…

also, Ciara is called the PRINCESS of Crunk & B

@sxyQblondie

100% cosign w/ everything u said

funniest blog of the day has to go with whoever said aretha doesnt share the title or food lol too funny

I R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Aretha as the Queen of Soul because is the first black woman to ever gold or platinum that way she gain the title the “Queen of Soul” BUT for her to get upset at Beyonce for calling Tina the Queen is crazy Tina is a Queen in her own right!

Aretha is dead wrong for that comment and that dress!! First of all she sounds petty. If in her heart she knows she is The Queen then isn’t that all that matters? I don’t think Bey was even thinking about her…ARETHA R.E.S.P.E.C.T. yourself and get your weight in check….then you can make so more hits and show us all who The Queen really is.

i dont think mary needed aretha to sing Everything anyway … mary killed it on her own and aretha big apnea, cant breath ass would have just started screaming over her anyway ruining the whole damn song

@ sxyQblondie well written….

The only thing Ms. Aretha is doing is taking attention away from them J cups she was sporting at the Grammys..

These ICONs all have their day and Big Yellow was just having hers and she knows Beyonce did’nt mean anything that’s why at the end she stated she loves Beyonce anyway..

In order to get RESPECT you have to give it and with her having the nerve to walk around like that, she gets none.

KZZ

A MOSSBERG IN WHICH I POSSESS WILL SET YOU ASS STRAIGHT IF I SEE YOU LURKIN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE SNEAKING PEEKS AT ME AND BLAIR HUMPING AROUND…LOL

BEY LOOKS AWESOME IN THE PIC!! A GOOD LOOK BEY!

LOL @KZZY (THATS YOU NEW NAME)LOL

We all Know that she is the Queen of soul she did not say she was the queen of soul it not that serious. We all know mike is the king of pop and Mary is the queen of hip-hop let it go

YEAH KEISHA

YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD BOO

N.O.

WHAY YOU TALKIN BOUT KZZY

LOL

Only one weak in here is you for even setting it off… you INTERNET THUG and you won the top prize. A Gold Grill to match Flavor Flav’s!

WHATCHU TALKIN BOUT SIMPLY??????????!!!!!!!!11 LOL

Aretha need to fall the eff back….

Bey didn’t call Tina the “Queen of Soul”, she just said Queen. Why black women always trying to steal eachothers joy. They are the Divas who paved the way for us. Be happy for eachother.

ReRe just mad. Ain’t nobody checking for her big ass. We too sceared to put her on stage. Don’t nobody wanna see a heart attack on live TV.

Ahhh, I thought the late great James Brown’s wife [maybe] was the queen of soul? no forget it, she claimed to be the godmother of soul. But really, no one can fight about it, it’s a self dubbed title, it can’t hold up in court so why is there fuss about it?

Ok….. and she couldn’t have dismissed it as a mistake. She knows Beyonce isn’t the brightest bulb.

Well dang, if Aretha is “outdated” as the queen, then Tina is too, cause both of those sisters did their thing back decades ago…I am not sure it is about who is hot now and who isn’t. I think it is more about respect and Beyonce is showing, day by day, that she has very little…which may have been the reason she wasn’t invited to the Living Legends shen-dig festivities at Oprah’s a few years ago. She has a lot to learn about tact, but in time, she will.

As for Aretha’s weight, not sure what that has to do with the comment, but if it makes people feel better: knock yourself out. Aretha could still sing any of these new chicks under a table, and yes, she does need to lose some weight and yes, she does need to wear a more supportive bra, and yes, she does need to stop showing off her girls…(I dont think anyone is interested anymore)…but she is still the Queen of Soul. Queens are entitled to get eccentric as they age. Don’t believe me? Then explain why little old ladies dye their hair blue or worst blond when they get a certain age? Or why they fall in love with sequins, lace and enormous hats?

Beyonce needs to go somewhere and rest for a while. Fatigue is initiating delirium for the poor girl.

I’ll be WEAK all right but at least I can spell KZZME? WTF?

@ Mz Asia

“Maybe u need to focus more on ur health and inability to wear fully sowed clothes instead of an invisible crown.”

Amen

I would not expect anyone from this site to really understand how much folks in the music industry had to go through to get the respect. Especially the young folks like Beyonce.

It’s only about the here and now. Aretha has always been the queen of soul and beyonce if she is truly an artist know how much it means to be repected for your talent.

Dumb ignorant folks make it about her weight. When they just are to young and stupid to know any better. That is why Retha still got love because she know Beyonce ain’t too bright and she could not even write a sentence much less write her skit for the show.. I mean she did acknowlege it might be the writers. Does Beyonce even have a diploma?

On the other hand most of the generation now do not know anything about real respect. They think respect deals with not snitching, going to jail for others, committing crime just to belong to gangs.

It’s okay Aretha…. Beyonce just does not know any better; chalk it up to the times. Wait until it is Beyonce turn and she is called and old legend she know how much respect means to an legend!!!

PRTTYBRWNGIRL = msnic???

Sorry, but Beyonce isn’t (or ever will be) even a pimple on Aretha’s fat queen ass. Normally, I would say it’s petty, but But Aretha is the queen. Period. Not the Queen of Soul. She is the greatest female artist of all time. Even Tina Turner must bow down. Go buy “I Never Loved a Man The Way I Love You” and tell me there’s ever been a better soul record made by a man or a woman.

Beyonce is gorgeous, as pretty as anyone in my opinion, and without that, she’d be a good singer with an empty head. Instead, she’s a superstar who’s not smart enough to know that all but the stans are sick of her and she needs to fade away for a minute. You know Eminem, the man who coined the term. He was smart enough to go away. It’s called leavin them wanting more. I am afraid I won’t want more of Beyonce until 2018.

Aretha needs an intervention. She looks like she’s about to literally explode.Very Jabba the Hud’ish

@ Common Sense

“You know Eminem, the man who coined the term. He was smart enough to go away. It’s called leavin them wanting more.”

Actually he just got depressed and gained a ton of weight from all his issues with his trailer meth wife.

aretha needs to be lessed concerned about someone calling someone else a queen and more concerned about her cholesterol. what is she doing to herself? and i apologize in advance cause this is about to make A LOT of you mad…but back 30 yrs ago when aretha was doing it big…music was very differant, they typed cast every black singer into a general pool and would king and queen whomever was the best at that time. music is too diverse for that now and i dont think aretha and tina even sang the same type of music. chill the hell out…why does she care who our genertaion is calling a queen…look at who they make us listen too!! danity kane, cassie, rhianna, american effin idol rejects. be glad ur time has come and gone cause u wouldnt have made today anyway..talent doesnt get u anywhere, its all about those throat and neck skills. just chill and spend the rest of ur money on whatever it is that blew them titties up like that.

…get over yourself Aretha…

@ NOTAHATER.

im glad finaly someon defended beyonce. she takes alot of heat. we havent heard that beyonce is dropping to her knees for a track, nor is she caught up in drama like alot of other celebs. true she’d save alot of money if she switched to geico and got off them lace fronts, maybe wear something other then derion..but really the girl earned every award she has…come one a grammy for umbrella? i felt like kanye did last year..give a nucca a break!!

That seems very petty and small of Aretha.

That’s the only thing small of Aretha Angie.

@get over it, you better preach! (I know I’m late. lol)

Beyonce cannot be responsible for what Sasha says on stage. The diva has a mind of her own. Beyonce wouldn’t have done that.

Just becuse Bey introduced Tina Turner as the Queen of Soul, doesn’t mean she meant that Tina Turner was the only queen of soul.

Aretha is definitely overreacting. All Beyawnce did was call Tina the Queen. Everything isn’t about Aretha. Madonna is the Queen of Pop, Tina is the Queen of RocknRoll, Mary J Blige is the Queen of HipHopSoul, and Aretha was donned the Queen of Soul. It’s not like she was specific. I guess Aretha felt that “The Queen” trumped all of the other titles. She needs to get over herself and calm down before she has a heart attack.

As big as Aretha is who’s toes didn’t she step on?

@ anon

The queen of General Tsos

The queen of Soul food

The queen of Sal’s Biscuits

I could go on lol

Actually Beyonce never said Tina was the queen of soul. Some of yall need ya hearing checked.

i’m sure beyonce didn’t mean it that way. this is the second thing that is seeming to be blown out of proportion at the grammys.

Ree Ree should be offended by her stylist showing her fat arms in those hideous dresses than at Beyonce.

I met Aretha and she’s horrible in person! Instead of her to embrace the future, she’s over there hatin’! Be glad you got a shout out chick! *rolls eyes*

I BET YOU ARETHA IS HORRIBLE IN PERSON!

SHE NEED TO LET IT GO..HER VOICE LEFT IN THE 80′S…EARLY 80′S! AFTER PINK CADILLAC!! LOL

IN SOME RESPECTS..I THINK THAT TINA IS THE QUEEN! ARETHA DIDN’T SHAKE HER ASS LIKE TINA DID..ON STAGE! TINA DID/DO IT ALL!

BTW: BEYONCE, IS KILLING THAT DRESS! it l00ks HOT!

ARETHA LOOKS LIKE A BOOGER

Mz. Asia

Oh snap it just clicked….they have the same dress on……why? LOL you are so so so dumb lol

Aretha needs to stop worrying about an invisible crown and worry more about those visible pounds.

@ P

naw boo im not misnic … who is that anyway?

and @ KZZ

sup gurl! (2 days later) lol

HOW DID THIS STORY TURN INTO A BEYONCE HATING BLOG. WHY WOULD YOU EVEN COMPARE BEYONCE TO ARETHA? IT’S NO LIKE BEYONCE CALLED HERSELF THE QUEEN.

I wish aretha would get a life. Im pretty sure there was a tribute to her before now its tina’s turn so why is she mad with her big ass tina turner is that deal and aretha’s just mad that she looks good for her age. And Like they always say dont shoot the messenger dont be mad at beyonce she’s just doing her job!

@forestfire

Aretha is the Queen of titties !

******************************

LMAO .. u immature for that

Also–

That’s not to say that’s she isn’t one of the most talented singers of all times because she is! I just think her attitude sucks and if she would’ve humbled herself a long time ago, I as well as countless others would have genuine r-e-s-p-e-c-t for her!

Do any of you remember the post they had about doing a movie on Aretha’s life? They asked her who she thought would be a good actress for the lead and she replied “Halle Berry”. I’m like WTF??? When someone mentioned Jennifer Hudson–she damn near lost it–dissin’ her! I’m like Ree-Ree needs to sit her ass down!!! Lol!!!!!!!!!

We know she likes to eat, hell her boyfriends name is Catfish, lol.

D E A D.

@ Cherry Creole

his title is MR. ok i got a headache now…my nerves bad

lmao in tears!

Whut up Diva!!

Hey Reformed Gamma!

What it do girl!!

**sittin here eating my wings and fried rice**

Yes, Re-Re needs to get over herself… all due r-e-s-p-e-c-t — but get over it!

Remember when Fantasia was Singing one of her songs to her i think it was on BET they gave aretha like a life time award she did not like Fantasia when she called her Mommy on stage she was trippin then… SHE NEEDS TO BE MORE WORRIED ABOUT NOT LOOKING LIKE A HONEY BEE then a QUEEN!! all that Weight ant you madd cuz someone else is called Queen… IS SHE MAD AT QUEEN ELIZABETH because she is a REAL QUEEN with a CROWN to go with the TITLE… BEYONCE’ can say what ever she wants to she has already Paid her dues that gurl works way harder then other female entertainers have!!

Re Re is the queen alright, more like the mufuggin Queen Mary! Re Re, put on a bra, girdle, and apply the concept of portion control in your eating habits. She looks ridayumdiculous!!

aretha needs to chill her fat azz out.. she is not the only queen or the only female that has major success under her belt. i don’t see how that statement could have offended her.. her low self-esteemed azz needs a reality check.. the problem is she needs some dyck. she’s lucky she was even mentioned.. honestly who cares for this free willy?

@ commen sense

doesn’t look like you have sense by that dumb azz statement you wrote. aretha is not the best of all time.. are you kidding me. you know how many female legends that can sing better than her and holds a greater title.. so shut the f*ck up with that nonsense.. lol.. you and aretha need a reality check ASAP.. she needs to get over her obese self.. with her world sized titties

out of all the people that beyonce mentioned why is her fat azz the only one that is offened.. she ain’t stepped on no toes.. shes just intimidated by tina turner cause she knows tina turner is a better entertainer that her and look at tina turner.. still looking good and dancing where’s her fat azz.. bloated like a air balloon and if she takes 2 steps she would be out of breath.. i’m sure tina turner is laughing her azz off right now saying fat b*tch don’t hate.. acknowledge the GREAT

IF YOU LISTEN/WATCH THE GRAMMY’S, YOU WILL SEE THAT BEYONCE DIDN’T SAY TINA WAS “THE QUEEN OF SOUL”….SHE JUST SAID “THE QUEEN” SO EVERYBODY NEED TO STFU!!!! OUT OF ALL THE NAMES SHE MENTIONED, SHE MENTIONED ARETHA 2ND. BESIDES IT REALLY ISN’T THAT SERIOUS. I RESPECT ARETHA BUT IF I WERE HER I WOULD WORRY MORE ABOUT LOSING THAT WEIGHT AND GETTING HEALTHY INSTEAD OF SOME PETTYNESS LIKE THIS….!!

@ yeah i said it–

Did you actually type

“with her world sized titties”

OMG!!! OMG!!!! I can’t breathe!

Help me, help me!

On THAT note…

1TruDiva has left the building!

RIGHT, BUT MY POINT IS, ARETHA SHOULD BE ABOVE STUFF LIKE THIS. I GUESS SHE MAY BE FEELING INSECURE OR SOMETHING. TINA IS DAMN NEAR 70 YEARS OLD AND SHE COULD STILL PUT ON A SHOW. THE PERFORMANCE WAS ABOUT BEYONCE PAYING HOMAGE TO TINA, SO WHY SHOULDN’T BEYONCE SHOW HER SOME RESPECT AND CALL HER A QUEEN? TINA HAS DONE HER THING AND HAS BEEN THROUGH IT TOO AND SHE HAS HER STORY TO TELL…SO SHE DESERVES RESPECT TOO.

Beyonce is from my hometown and she represents us well. However, I thought her intro was not well thought out because she unintentionally insulted several artists, including Aretha.

I have much respect for Tina Turner and I think she is a legend, but I don’t think she is better than Gladys Knight, Diana Ross, Janet Jackson, or Nancy Wilson. You really cannot compare them because their individual talent is unique.

Beyonce has a right to her opinion and I don’t disagree with her having one. She did not have to hold Tina up by diminishing the other artists in her intro. Of course, I don’t think she meant to do it, but she did cause this controversy.

We already exposed Dianna for being a heffah with the whole dream girls thing, the only reason we don’t call out Aretha is because her voice is undeniable but come off it already!. There can be more than one Queen. She wasn’t saying Tina was the Queen of soul, we know that’s your title but give props when they are due and Tina is Queen at what she does. B was showing her the proper respect that she deserved, she wasn’t thinking about Aretha. Aretha needs to take a step back and relax and let other people get the same respect she demands.

BEYONCE LOOKS UP TO TINA BECAUSE SHE SEES HERSELF SURPASSING TINA…SHE CAN’T SURPASS ARETHA…BEYONCE IS SO RUDE OUT DANCING A 70 YEAR OLD WOMAN AND ALMOST KNOCKING HER DOWN…RIHANNA DIDN’T UPSTAGE THE TIME…SHE DANCED WITH THEM…

ALSO, IF THE TRIBUTE WAS TO TINA, WHY DID BEYONCE HAVE TO SING SNIPPETS OF HER SONG…

BEYONCE IS SELFISH AND HAS NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE, NOT EVEN MICHELLE OR KELLY.

SHE IS TO SELFISH TO EVEN LET THEM MODEL HER MOTHER’S GOWNS IN AN AD I SAW IN ESSENCE.

BEYONCE CAN YOU SPELL SHARE. YOU DIDN’T MAKE IT BIG BY YOURSELF – DON’T FORGET OTHERS.

@ Kai No, Tina stepped on Bey’s toes, instead of to the left to the left, Tina went to the right.

@ Biancalove

” Come on a grammy for Unmberella?”-

Well come on now, Beyaki won a grammy for ” Deja Vu” – the most useless , rubbish song of last year!! With all her winding and grinding on Jay Z, like she’s a two bit hooker at Hooters!

If Bey is so confident in herself and her relationship with Jay, then why would she do all that? – I was embarassed watching that video and Bey should have been too! and as for Jay Z, shows how much RESPECT he has for his long term bit on the side!!

maybe

Someone wrote, Rihanna did’nt upstage the Time, Rihanna could’nt upstage a ant..Some of these remarks are crazy just like Aretha, some of you have put to much in a simple word as Queen….

Jesus Take the Wheel and stop this madness….

maybe we should call aretha the Queen of Soul Food and then that way everyone will know we are talking about her .. beyonce called Tina the Queen not the Queen of Soul … I wonder what Tina has to say about all of this

@Ralph

WELL ARETHA IS THE QUEEN UNTIL THIS DAY NO ONE HAS MATCH HER VOICE AND UNLIKE BEYOUNCE ARETHA IS PURE TALENT….FUTHERMORE IT IS ABOUT TIME BEYOUNCE ADMITS SHE HAS BEEN STEALING TINA TURNER’S STYLE FROM THE VERY BEGINNING ALONG WITH JLO, SHAKIRA, AMERIE,KELIS ETC. BEYOUNCE SHOULD ALSO ADMIT SHE STOLE GOLDIE HAWN’S AND GRACE KELLY’S HAIR STYLES OH AND JLO’S ……

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Was I the only one who felt like thhis????

The last part of that quote Aretha said “I thank the Grammy’s for awarding me my 20th Grammy and I have love for Beyonce” That is how they get people riled up. They use part of the quote.

And I don’t blame Beyonce for that – you know she is a robot and she is programmed to say whatever the writers tell her to say. It was not her fault.

I did think Aretha went a little far as saying things public…I think the should’ve just reworded Beyonce’s opening act for Tina because the way it was presented did SEEM not saying it was but it seem like she just named all of the other talents and called Tina the Queen…so I can understand how Aretha may have taken it…it’s like saying u r smart, ur smart, and this person is the brainiac..but you can’t blame Beyonce…unless she’s the one who wrote that whole skit up…she just needs to re-evaluate some things she say cause they come off wrong to certain people.

yall think that four or five of beyonces dresses could cover the “queens” fat butt? I personally think five

Morbid obesity should never be rewarded with titles like “Queen”. Just another thing keeping black people down.

tHA HELL WITH IT IN THE PIC ARETHA (AN OLD TYMER)AND BEYONCE (YOUNG BUCK) LOOK LIKE TWO ZESTY LEMONS.

WORK BEYONCE WORK OUT…YESSS…she looks fierce darling…absolutly fierce

********Boycott the Bejing Olympics*******

Back on my campaign trail…

We cannot let these people get away with this crap not after our support of all the Carry-out or take-out and those dang wings, taste sooo good (focus)

They refuse to stop supplying Dafaur/ Sedanes government with weapons that are being used on their people…the genocide of Dafaur…don’t wait til the HBO movie to take action

What are these BEFORE AND AFTER SHOTS…

Will this be Beyonce later down the line??? After kids with Jay?

@ ???????????–

How immature of Ms. Franklin, she also lacks unity as a black woman for other successful black women. Instead of singing praises for these two woman, she’s too busy being jealous. I’ll say.

ReRe been a diva since forever. She is always dissing the new crop of singers. She straight up told Mary J. Blige to her face that she could not sing. When a reporter asked her about the song she sang with Fantasia, she told them that she is too good and famous to sing with anyone. They sing with her. And you know what, I ain’t mad at her. ReRe has an amazing voice! Can any of those other chicks sing Pop, Gospel, R&B, Rock & Roll, Soul, or Opera on her level? Even at her weight and age, those chicks can’t get on the level of the Queen.

aretha look like she should have the sunkist logo stamped across her dress.

Aretha was like listen little girl, I’m the Queen and I deserve some R.E.S.P.E.C.T and Tina can keep rolling on the river! lol

I love the Queen. Big, beautiful and proudly black! It doesn’t get any better. Plus Aretha could possibly eat both Tina and Beyonce.

DAYUM RE-RE! I KNOW TINA’S LOOKING SWELL {NO PUN INTENDED},BUT U AIN’T GOTTA HATE LIKE DAT!

HOW MANY YELLOW CRAYONS DID U EAT BEFORE THE EVENT?

Tina Turner has been around since 1955 so let’s give it up for 52 years in the game…forreal. Tina doesn’t and probably will never get the recognition that she deserves in America because even though her and Ike charted several hits they were very much a soul group in the studio but once they hit the stage it was pure rock.

People think that Tina Turner went rock n’ roll after Ike, but she’s been at the forefront of rock n’ roll since it’s inception and she’s the reason that you hear singers like Rhianna singing hits like ‘Umbrella’ and you see artist like Mary J. doing duets with U2.

Tina has broken down more doors for female performers of all races but she’s especially changed the way that whites see African American females in music. Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Bryan Adams, Tom Jones, Elvis, Paul McCartney, and other huge names in the music business have all dueted with Tina – why? Because she’s the Queen!

I am wondering when black America is going to give Tina Turner the true respect that she deserves. When will she get her BET celebration? I mean they’ve done it in London for the MOBO Awards. Why is black America so hesitent to give Tina her props? Is it because she moved to Europe became as big as the Rolling Stones and Madonna? Black America seems to like their artist to live in a constant state of “blackness” and not move beyond and experiment artistically. Good job Tina for giving us soul, country, R&B, Rock n’ Roll, Pop Rock, and more!
