oh wow go re re lol

Aretha needs to shut her pie hole and do a million laps down Eight Mile Rd in Detroit.

Tina chilling on the French Rivera like a QUEEN…with the body to match.

Aretha put Tina in her place because Tina didn’t have to go there. They are both queens…good grief!

Don’t mess wit Re no, no, no, no….!

She ain’t to be played wit.

Tina just need to eat da cake….

I got one word for Tina. “MAVRICK”!

Really they are too old for this ish, they are both icons! I think this all started when Beyonce called Tina the Queen of Soul and Aretha was like that is my title, But they are both Queens respectively Aretha is the Queen of Soul and Tina the Queen of Rock. End of Story

Aretha will slap her with her breasts like two symbols…Tina don’t you go messin’ with Re’Re…

Ms. Aretha, we love and respect you and everything but you need to really sit your azz down somewhere in time out or go and make some more music!!! Stop hatin’ and commenting on everything that someone says!!! GOOD-NESS, she’s working my nerves!!! You are just a little too old for that nonsense!!

Am I the only one that’s amazed at the fact that the two of them have NEVER met!…That’s very strange to me.

Why is she jumping on Tina? Beyonce was the one who called Tina queen.

Why don’t she jump on Beyonce.

Is this more fallout from the Grammy intro? Again, Beyonce’s people need to make wiser decisions – Beyonce’s intro was in fact an insult…If she wanted to call Tina the Queen she could have without mentioning the other stars. I don’t understand how someone wasn’t smart enough to tell Beyonce that if you preface “BUT ONLY ONE IS THE QUEEN” with a list of NAMES you are IN FACT saying “THE ONLY ONE” is BETTER than them. And that is HUGELY INSULTING. I just don’t understand Beyonce’s camp these days…From the decision to wear that horrible Etta wig that aged her, knowing the rumor is she’s older..to the clean, average face on the cover of her singles, to the singles THEMSELVES…What are these people thinking? Is she really leaving Columbia to sign with her husband? Are they sabotaging her?

the picture says it all.

how can Aretha talk about someone resorting to tacky press when she resorts to tacky dress?

NEXT

Tina is still making moves. What is Aretha doing other than feeding her face?

Tina,… “You betta be scared! Don’t you watch the Discovery Channel? You every seen a Lion attack a Gazelle!?!”

@KZZME

Honey chile where you been? I’m checking as we speak…

BOOOOOOOOOO

These two are too old for this mess. Who cares. Aretha get a bra, until you do, no speaky for you!

@BOBBI

Why can’t Beyonce address Tina as the queen? She’s entitled to her opinion. Maybe she considers Tina to be her ultimate role model. I see a lot of similarities in their stage presence. It’s no different that someone referring to Beyonce as the ‘queen’ Bey!

Aretha got those banana breasts….

aretha sit yo mother love ass down!tina is living like a jet setting queen.while yo fat ass is hanging around detroit!

@Kzz – Hey Miss, where you been…what happened to your gravie?

How is it that after all these years Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner have never met?

Not even at a concert? An award show?

Strange.

Well I did not hear Re-re call her tacky she responded nicely. Aretha should know that sometimes giving interviews the interviewer can make statements sound bad just to get ratings.

Either way they are both Queens of somthing, don’t fight!

randomthoughts,

Read what I said again – it is not that she called her the Queen, but that she named people and concluded “but one is the Queen”…I don’t know if it’s a matter of logical deduction or of syntax but if you list specific examples yet conclude that one item is superior to the lot you, by extension, imply that the other (aforementioned) examples ARE INFERIOR. Get me? It’s not that she called her a Queen (by the way, she didn’t call Tina the “Queen of Soul”)…I’d expect her to think that – it’s who she’s modeled herself after BUT it’s that she somehow chose to mention OTHER names… perhaps she thought she was paying homage to them as well…but she wasn’t…in that conclusion, she denigrated them and I can believe Beyonce didn’t realize that but her handlers should have picked up on it.

@ KZZ

HEY…YOU OWE ME ON THE DUTCH LOL…WHEN DID YOU MEET ARETHA??

aretha is the last person on this earth that should be calling anybody tacky.

I have never met or attended a concert of either, but I have heard that Arethea really has the attitude that she is the Queen of America. She needs to concentrate on losing that weight and staying healthy. Tina looks really good & if someone wants to call her a Queen, so be it. It’s always the females that are less attractive or overweight, etc. that wants to put other women down. She can afford a chef and the gym so I suggest she use them both. She still has the pretty face, but that weight and that attitude needs to go. Hopefully Tina won’t even acknowlege her comments. This is the only way Aretha can get some press time and media attention. She looks something awful with that weight and dresses like a broke down hooker with her twins hanging out. Such class. YEAH RIGHT!

WoW!! I never thought I would see 2 old ladies fighting over a “title”…..Tina looks much better than Aretha, (especially with all that extra weight)…….WOW!

ARETHA DIDNT CALL HER TACKY. SHE JUST SAID “I never figured her to resort to tacky press just to sell a few tickets.” SHE SAID TACKY PRESS. NOT THAT TINA WAS TACKY. GET IT RIGHT.

@ SGKM

Am I the only one that’s amazed at the fact that the two of them have NEVER met!…That’s very strange to me.

==================================================

NO! YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!!!!!

THAT IS JUST “TWILIGHT ZONE” BIZZARE!!!!!!!!!

Wow, good choice of words. That was the best backhanded statement I’ve heard in a minute.

Aretha looks like a friggin rhinocerous, she needs to shut her fat mouth and lose some of her ego. Tina is damn near seventy and still looks amazing. This whole thing is so immature.

They are both iconic and should know better than this foolishness. They don’t have to resort to stuff like this people will come and see them regardless. They have fans until they die and then some.

I’m sorry for Aretha is a BRAT… People coddle her, say nothing about her wait, and just grin and bear it when she is rude to others…

TINA TURNER IS OLDER…ONCE AGAIN..TINA TURNER IS OLDER THAN ARETHA FRANKLIN. And has obviously kept herself up enough to go on tour. Aretha really needs to focus on getting healthier instead of trying to start wars with people who are OLDER than her, and MUCH healthier and fitter than her. Tina is a legend in her own right, and continues to wow crowds….

I gladly bought my concert tickets…

For some reason Tina Turner can sell out a concert in seconds, white people love her ass, she’s doing 2 sold out dates here in honolulu in december.

AHH, Aretha…I think you got that twisted

Now that wig of her’s is done…but… smh

And you need to stop hating…you ain’t got no room to be bad-mouthing.

Aretha got nerve tryna call people tackey…she’s the tackiest of them all…she sounds a little jealous to me..she still pissed off about B calling tina the queen at the grammy’s..come on aretha it’s been maad months get over it..

I’m sorry but Aretha is a BRAT… People coddle her, say nothing about her weigh and ridiculous outfits, and just grin and bear it when she is rude to others…

TINA TURNER IS OLDER…ONCE AGAIN..TINA TURNER IS OLDER THAN ARETHA FRANKLIN. And has obviously kept herself up enough to go on tour. Aretha really needs to focus on getting healthier instead of trying to start wars with people who are OLDER than her, and MUCH healthier and fitter than her. Tina is a legend in her own right, and continues to wow crowds….

I gladly bought my concert tickets to see Tina on stage…

woman will be catty no matter what age..human nature

Aretha is taking this too far, aint no need to call someone out. Tina do look good, and Beyonce hopes to look that good in 40 years. They need to kill that noise, because they both are too respected to go at each other like that.

Retha need to calm her ass down. Her blood pressure and sugar are probably high as hell…

@BOBBI

As I stated before, Bey is entitled to her opinion. Maybe Bey doesn’t consider Aretha a queen at all. I personally dont. So she can name ten people and leave Aretha out of the list and that is her business.

Damn Aretha is ghetto. Get over it sis.

Well in Aretha’s defense she sold out Lincoln Center 3 years ago which is wonderful.

they sing two different styles and no matter how big Aretha is SHE SANGS! More R& B singers like Mary J give Aretha the Queen props because they have soulful voices.

Tina is spunky always will be and has an orginal voice. Beyonce shes her as a queen because they have similar styles.

just my random thoughts on the matter

Aretha don’t like her name comin’ out of anyone’s mouth, especially someone who’s never met her…understandable. Nutbush, TN v Detroit, who y’all think would win?

TINA ACUSING ARETHA OF BEING A “PROUD MARY”…BUT ALL ARETHA WANTS IS A LITTLE “R-E-S-P-E-C-T”

AT THE END OF THE DAY TINA’S TRACK-RUNNIN’ LEGS CAN OUTRUN ARETHA IN AN ASSBEATIN IF IT CAME TO THAT YO

Aretha will slap her with her breasts like two symbols…

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

LOLOLOLOL

The vision – classic…

Aretha’s needs to start singing like she used to years ago or just shut up, because right now the only thing she’s the queen of is saggy titties.

LOL…man I love Aretha!!!!!

ReRe you can’t be the Queen of everthing…

You’re the Queen of Soul…

Tina is the Queen of Rock and Roll…

Mary J is the Queen of Hip Hop Soul…

…get over it. This is happened how many months ago???

Aretha is being a baby. all because beyonce said tina turner was a queen…arethas ego is big. I think Tina was just implying that there was no reason for Aretha to even comment on Beyonce and to stop being a brat. I don’t think Tina Turner cares who is calling who a queen. It was Beyonces dedication to Tina, to emulate her idol NOT aretha.

Geriatric Smackdown!

It is not advisable that Aretha get all worked up like this. Her heart prolly can’t handle it. Both Tina and Re Re are talented legends, they should just kiss n’ make up. I call it a draw.

The Grammy’s came on the same time as the writers strike…. no one was there to proof read Beyonce’s intro!! NO ONE caught that! NOT even Beyonce b/c like someone stated:they are both Queens respectively Aretha is the Queen of Soul and Tina the Queen of Rock. End of Story

Aretha, mama, I love you!! Eat healthier! Instead of a bucket of friend chicken, do a trough of salad and maybe a baked who chicken with lemon and garlic. I know you like to eat…so I’m not saying to cut your portions…just make what you eat healthier so you can eat it in the quantity that you obviously like.

@WE “BLACKS”

COSIGN.

Kizzme, i miss u lady boo hoo dont stay away so long, and Aretha better go sit down n leave my girl tina alone.

rosemary/lemon chicken is good .

Seriously…someone help me out before I start whining…or bashing my computer keys like that crazy ass german child on YouTube..

Aretha is my girl but she needs to stop…….4 REAL!

Aint nobody the queen of sh*t. They are singers…that’s it…just damn singers!

Aretha has the nerve to talk about class!! pleeeeeeeease, this is the same woman who walks around with her nasty-saggy-montorous boobs hanging out..

Two legendary divas beefing …… lawd have mercy!

aretha’s ego is just if not bigger than her nasty boobies.. Ms. Turner is a lady and does not need to lower herself to even respond to this woman’s comments.

she needs to worry more about her un-healthy weight and seriously consider having a breast reduction-lift instead of sturding up drama!! tooooooooo old for that Mrs. Franklin..

Years back see Arthea at a concert in New York and she was rude and didn’t perform the whole set to the crowd, they got mad and since then I lost all R-E-S-P-E-C-T for her. Don’t think Tina has ever been rude at her concerts. Aretha is really jealous cause Tina still got a good body for her age and a young boyfriend.

she’s hating

after a 100 years! in the buisness,i dont get how they never met

This article surfaced just after Beyonce and Tina performed together awhile back and ONCE AGAIN the same issue is present.

In defense of Aretha– I think she wants to always be known as the Queen. Period! And Re-re doesn’t have a problem letting the world know it!

In defense of Tina–I’m sure she can regard Aretha as a queen in her OWN FIELD!!!

The music industry has many avenues and each of them can consider themselves a Queen of whatever genre of music they represent.

ReRe’s starting to sound like these rappers that thrive on industry beef just to stay relevent.

You don’t need to do that Re!!

Just chillax! It’s not THAT serious.

Lol!!!

where in the hell is my gravie????

Oh OK!

Lol!!

Tina and Aretha never met???! That’s a damn shame. Seriously. That needs to be rectified. These two women shouldn’t be fighting one another anyway.

Beyonce said, “…But there is one legend who has the essence of all of these things, the slamour, the soul, the passion, the strength, the talent – Ladies and gentlema stand on your feet and give it up for The Queen” (and out came Tina Turner)

This was stated on Grammy night, February 10, 2008 in LA. Tina and Beyonce` duetted after the introduction by Beyonce`. Aretha performed a bit later after being introduced by Ludacris.

The next day Aretha said, “I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on ot whose ego I may ahve bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyonce`, however I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy. In addition to that, I thank tjhe Grammys and the voting academy for my 20th Grammy and love to Beyonce` anyway”.

MATTHEW KNOWLES, Beyonce’s dad and manager then responde to Aretha by saying, “As a manager I am not taking something this ridiculous to Beyonce`. Beyonce` referred to Tina Turner as a ‘queen’..not queen of gospel, queen of soul, queen of blues, Queen of England. I consider my wife a queen and sometimes call her that. Does Aretha have a problem with that?”

LOL! Go Re Re! I respect Tina’s fire, longevity and energy, but let’s be real, chick can’t hold a candle to Aretha on her very best day. And then she tried to talk slick about her? Please. Re Re is from the “D” … she doth not play that.

I co-sign w/everyone saying they’ve never met? WTF? that’s odd, they should have been at some banging industry parties back during their prime. Love the cattiness of these AARP divaz.

Aretha and Matthew commented on February 11, 2008. Eight months later Tina Turner on the day before her USA tour began (October 1st), “Aretha has always been like that. WE’ve always acceptd that from her. She’s the queen of soul, and I’m the queen of rock ‘n’ roll. There were so many kings and queens there that night. Her ego must be so big to think she was the only one.” She laughed, “That’s how queens are!”

Aretha Franklin reposnd to Tina Turner, on today, October 9th, “I have always appreciated what Tina Turner has to offer and had quietly cheered her on after Ike and her subsequent success. However, with respect to her statement concerning my egom clearly she was talking about herself as she described herself as the ‘Queen of Rock’ and saying ‘that’s what Queens do’ – particularly since she does not have a clue as to who I am in view of the fact that we have never met. I never figured her to resort to tacky press just to sell a few tickets. I understand and I know that the concert market is down where ticket sales are concerned. I really had put her in a different class – higher than that. Finally, no one has been more gracious or complimentary to their peeps than I have abd I am confident and secure enough to do so, unlike some others. I wish Ms. Turner all the best, as I always have. Perhaps one day we will meet.”

They have been on the same concert bills and on the Essence Awards Show in 1993 – by they never spoke. These divas all have so much drama amongst them. Aretha and Gladys; Dionne and Diana; Aretha and Patti; Mary J. and Faith; Anita and Luther; Aretha and Luther; Mariah and Whitney; Aretha and Mavis Staples, the list goes on and on. It is well know that Aretha is not very female friendly – so a sistahood moment with her is not very likely. She seems to like Chaka, Dionne, Nancy Wilson and Brandy. Rumors are that on Grammy night they wanted her to sing with Alicia Keys and Mary J. Blige and she refused. One thing for sure, her duet with Blige taht one a Grammy that night, was performed with a pseudo diva – BeBe Winans. Do I see a WWF matchh soon with bras, pantyliners and weave flying everywhere, LOL

Neither one of them has seen a hit since a hit seen them. Luther, Gladys and Natalie have all pretty much accused Aretha of being a biyach. And no she DIDN’T call somebody else “tacky”. lmao

aretha act like she got a image or something to protect.

she should focus more on her health and let the little slights go.

Tacky is your father being your baby’s daddy and having the ghaul to call anyone else tacky!

still LOL @ Z cups!!

This is so stupid. Queen of Rock, Queen of Soul, Queen of Sheba, Queen of shoes, whatever… we all gotta die, they both need to chill out.

Hey Fam……..

I bet ReRe’s areole are as big as hub caps…

She sportin some dubs for sho…

~

I wish both of these Golden Girls would sit down… ReRe might want to have some Mega-T Green Tea for reducing stubborn belly fat while she’s sitting.

LAWD…. if it aint enuff drama in da world without these two golden oldies tryna have beef or whatever. Can anybody just be friends these days…damnnn

TINA DON’T NEED THE NAME QUEEN SHE’S a

GODDESS AND SIMPLY THE BEST !!!!!

GO TINA

Ofcourse Tina and Aretha meet they where on the same concert SOUL TO SOUL, But Tina problaby know how Aretha is.

And for Beonce, she can’t help it. She was so nerve

to perform with Tina, The only one who make a matter of it is Aretha…..she better can go Sport…or something to get of that fat….Tina can dance around in this body!!!!!!

like someone above mentioned, they are just singers! They ain’t they queen of nothing!

@ wordz of a prophet I am with you on this one they are to old to be acting this silly. How can you expect the younger generation of up and coming Black women to get along if the ones who paved the way for them can’t. I would agree that Aretha is the Queen but I think Tina is as well there is no person you can compare to Tina so she is a queen in her own right. I don’t know what the debate is about they sing/perform to different genre’s of music in my opinion.

They are both queens, but I’ve always favored Tina…on another note, they are both like 1,000 years old and they have “never” met??? I’m not even in the business and I’ve met my share of stars (haven’t met Alicia yet though and I have some words for her) so I think she must have forgot meeting her. Tina didn’t say anything wrong and the fact that Tina still puts on a show is worthy enough for whatever mention of Ms.”Duplex” name…she’s just hating because she’s a foodaholic and Tina is still a banger.

Ms Franklin really needs to get a grip, she is ridiculous. Aretha, you ain’t no real queen!!!!!!

That Z-cups remark really made me laugh.

no comment…lol

bLAQ sAID iT bEST! bUT rErE iS sENSITIVE aBOUT hER tITLE. eVERYBODY kNOWS sHES tHE qUeen oF sOUL…tINA iS tHE qUEEN oF rOCK. tINA mIGHT dO hER lIKE sHE dID iKE…wATCH oUT tRIPLE E’S

I think Aretha is over reacting. Beyounce obviously admires Tina. They have the same style. ReRE needs to chill and lose some weight. All that weight is not healthy. She could get some health tips from Tina. Now there’s a women that knows how to take care of herself.
