uno?

big moma from soulfood, is that you?

Aretha know her tatas are too dam big too go into that dress. I love this lady but she need to be charged with indecent exposure for this one.

WOW ARETHA YOU’RE EATING TOO GOOD AND WHAT I SEE IT’S NOT LOOKING HEALTHY AT ALL

sorry aretha you look disgusting that night. i know you should dress better than taht with all the money you make. and you’re the queen of soul and weight gain.

Where was Diana? At home with Blanket and Paris?

I have so much respect for this woman’s talent but her taste in clothes has always been terrible. Even at her size there are formal clothes that would make her look so much better. She needs a good supportive bra and some sleeves. She’s an attractive woman but she desperately needs a stylist.

Berry Gordy is looking good!

she still queen as soul but wrong 4 dat dress

happy birthday Motown.. hey stop disrespecting the Queen.. she might turn around and slap you by turning around..jklmao

Y’all know i look good. yall just wish yall had tatas like mine and can rock a spaghetti strap dress! So stop hatin!!

Looks like she’s never gonna win that weight battle.

Her hair looks nice though.

Does she get dressed in the dark? WTF
Whomever picks out her clothes, needs to get shot!

r they gonna air this?

Why she keeps wearing strappy clothing is a mystery to me.

Mystic Jewlez & Dirty Diana

LOL! Ya’ know, Aretha could probably make a killin’ with a BBW line of fa$hion designer MOO MOOS.

i would love to see what she eats on any given day. i’m thinking breakfast is a quart of orange juice, a loaf of bread, a pack of bacon and a dozen eggs. Lunch is a whole fried chicken and fries and a diet coke. Dessert is a whole cheesecake. Dinner is 2 double whoppers with cheese, onion rings and a milkshake. And not the kind that brings the boys to the yard. SMH.

Man Aretha, folks adore you, including me but why you don’t wear something different is beyond me. I guess she is going to shove it down our throats. She doesn’t care what folks say or think obviously. I’m not so sure I will at that age and with that kind of money. Shoot, I think I’d still be trying to look nice and neat.

aretha i love you but imma need you to put those pork chops down and start dressing appropriately.

lol@whoa

Aretha, Aretha, Aretha!! Spaghetti straps are not your friend!!

I didn’t think this woman’s look could get any worse but alas, I was wrong.

Did anyone ever read her autobiography? Whenever she’s trying to place you in a given setting, she uses restaurants as landmarks. I’m not even kidding. She can’t stop thinking about food.

The woman is a legend and she can do and wear what she wants. There is nothing wrong with being comfortable in your own skin.you probally think Nicole Richie looks good. Show respect!!!!!

Those straps look stressed!

Seriously, just because one is Queen of Soul does not mean that you should take your health forgranted. I understand that she is older and probably set in her way, but someone needs to seriously intervene and help her loose weight which is clearly alot of pressure on and around her heart. She is passed being a grown woman and definitely knows that she should not dress in such a way regardless of her status.

I don’t know why y’all are even wasting your breath talking about Aretha. You know people that old and rich don’t give a damn… gwon, Girl! I can’t believe how well that old crooked azz showbiz thug Berry Gordy is aging. They say “pimpin’ ain’t easy”, but apparently for him, it is.

@SANJOR- *waves* Hey Ms.Lady you are probably right and I know some people are saying (which everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion all love here w/me)that she can do what she wants, because she is the Queen, but to me that makes no sense how does being a Queen make it okay to put your health at risk? I definitely would not want to have friends who are more focused on me being the Queen than my health so that I can have longevity(sp)in life for my kids and grandkids etc.

She is amazing, but she is really testing the power of gravity. I hope those dress straps are super reinforced.

I just don’t understand. I just don’t understand why a grown woman of her age and shape will not cover up.

@Ms.Ej, you hit the nail on the head. Why wouldn’t anyone want to be in the best health possible for themselves and for their kids and grandkids. I truly believe that she doesn’t like herself, because if she did she would try to do better. She is killing herself, and I know her breathing is probably terrible.

@whoa

LOL you a fool

i can see the straps cutting into her shoulders.. im surprised they didnt snap

It should be a crime to eat that much!!! Food cant taste that good to her!

Every picture I’ve seen of her in recent years shows her wearing something entirely inappropriate for the size of her breasts … strapless, spaghetti straps etc. Doesn’t she have friends and family who love her?

this must be an old pic because at one point, she had started to lose weight

@whoa Dear your going to hell for this!

somebody get this woman to a nutritionist, and a stylist — because her “look’ is beyond embarrassing …

this woman was born in 1942 …. do the math … some things are simply not age appropriate, and I hope she has SOMEBODY close to her who will TELL HER SO…

errpppp….just vomited in my mouth a little….f u 8ossip…..

She needs “King James” from that fitness boot camp in her life.

You know if Patti and Chaka can’t get away with speghetti straps then Aretha damn well can’t. You know her farts are deadly and she doesn’t even care. You should’ve gotten outta the way.

All I’m going to say is, “OK, it’s obvious you have gained weight. But, PLEASE, stop trying to rock sleeveless and almost strapless dresses…too much material sown together to cover those girls… oh God, help us all! It’s no longer 1980… give it up. Get some sleeves, a jacket, and a bra with a holster.” The look is not cute, Ms. Retha!

SHE ALWAYS DO THAT AND WEAR SPAGHETTI STRAPS, POOR THANG.

The Queen of SoulFood needs Lasagne Straps, not damn Spaghetti Straps!!

Aretha your arms are not your best feature; neither are your drooping shoulders, ample breasts and unsightly arms. Wear a jacket or something that places emphasis on your still attractive face. Heads up– Fire your stylists immediately. They are allowing you to dress for the queen you are. Food is not your best friend.

agreed…

and it’s sad, I love her music, wish she would get healthy..

diabetes…

Her grey outfit and hat were appropriate when she performed at the Obama Inauguration this year. Somebody got to her (White House staffers/inauguration event planners?)and she followed protocol and respected the occasion enough to fall into line. I was holding my breath when she was announced and was sighed with relief. Thank goodness she didn’t perform in a revealing outfit even with the cold weather.

those straps were an inch and half wide when she put the dress on.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
i kill me.

Man what’s wrong with ReRe? I’ma have to take a line from one of her hit songs and “say a little prayer for youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…” cuz she sho iz too fat deez daze!!!!

O_o

aretha is the worst. still has a terrible diva attitude. put some dang clothes on your jelly ass

How is it that those straps can supports those “girls”, plus how did those straps not cut her like a knife! I am surprised the picture wasn;t of her bleeding from the sholders!

Blah. Blah. Blah. And no one sees anything wrong with Kid Rock standing next to Stevie Wonder? They keep playing jokes on poor Stevie.

One of the last few times I saw pics of Aretha I felt so proud – she was actually looking decent, as if someone had taken responsibility for choosing her outfit. The fact that she looks exceptionally unattractive so much of the time is not because she’s an unattractive woman – the right wardrobe has proven that but she seems destined to wear things that would be best suited to someone with a much small bust and arms. I’m always squinting when anticipating seeing her – because I know that the chances of her presenting herself in a more positive light is practically nil.
