Our big aunt, Aretha, performed at a benefit concert for the Torch of Freedom to honor our troops at the Nokia Theatre. That’s a nice red king-sized sheet gown she had on.

Get a load of the side view when you…

  • Doc

  • keepn it real

    I’m gona tell it like it is…………She’s a hot ass redd mess!!

  • Boss Lady

    Ya’ll know ReRe look a mess right here and any other time I see her. I know this woman got a stylist so I’m curious why nobody is keepin it gangsta and lettin her know it’s not cute to let it all hang out. She is looking much better but there’s always room for improvement.

  • TIM TIM

    IT DON’T MAKE NO DAMN SENSE FOR SOMEBODY IN THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY TO LET THEYSELF GET THAT DAMN BIG….SHE AND THE QUILT NEEDS TO BE SET ON FIRE!!!

  • Tori

    Leave this woman alone. That is someone’s grandma. How does your grandmother look TIMTIM?

    “I know this woman got a stylist so I’m curious why nobody is keepin it gangsta and lettin her know it’s not cute to let it all hang out.”

    Probably because they’re afraid to. They trying to keep their job during these hard times.

    What a way to send the troops off to battle, have them watch a beached whale in red satin sing soul music to them. Performance for the military should be inspirational, not something you need to look away from.

  • daughtercreole

    Aretha needs to stop with all the flamboyant clothing. Anyway, Aretha got famous off the Sparkle album which took shine from Lonette McKee and Irene Cara so whateva, whateva wit Aretha

  • FURIOUZ STYLEZ

  • kenya

    aretha has always dressed on the tacky side, especially for someone with her money, but she’s still allright with me. she looks like she’s losing weight too, so she gets an a for her efforts.

    Kool Aid runnit!!!

  • craig

    what’s a shame is how some black folks like many of y’all who are posting have no compassion for a human being with a weight issue. Aretha also a cultural icon and a woman who has meant and given so much so much to us, who has symbolized our greatness. if you don’t know, read a book or ask somebody about the free angela davis concert she did before some of you were born. WTF does it matter what her dress size is. for some of you , she is nothing more than a joke. that says far more about your ignorance and lack of respect than it does her. some of your posts sadden me so i had to speak out.

  • Darkesthourglass

    “ARETHA’S GONNA END UP AS BIG AS QUEEN LATIFAH.”

    Aretha already is WAY bigger than Queen Latifah. She wished she could get down to Latifah’s size in order to look decent.

    WOW! That’s a walking Health Hazard man.

    Aretha Franklin is and will always be the one and only QUEEN OF SOUL!

    She’s beautiful to me. She is the greatest singer that God has put on this earth. I’m so happy that she came from a time where people actually listen to people voices and wasn’t so concern what outfit they were wearing.

    Ask yourself. When I buy a CD do I care if they got the best clothes on or do I care if they have the best voice? Some great lyrics and a killa arrangement?
