Aretha Franklin at the Grammys (that’s-just-wrong *caption ping*)

[bonfire]

She’s Aretha. She can wear anything she damn well pleases!

[jdm]

Damn, baby got back FRONT!

[jaydubya2]

It that the Dairy Queen of Soul?

[Greg F]

Aretha is the best. How’s that for a caption?

[Nervous Tick]

She doesn’t look THAT bad. And, although I’d guess she’s a true-blue liberal, I can’t recall her ever spouting off her “political opinion” for my edification. She just does her job, and sings. Really well.

So, correct me if I’m wrong, but give me Aretha Franklin over Kanye West and his ilk any day of the week!

[Petronski]

ROFL!

Some good gospel in there.

Looks like one of Macy’s balloons got away.

I actually enjoyed the Grammy’s this year for the 2 hours I was tuned in. The shut up an sang for the most part which made it very enjoyable. I could even listen to the RAP without the usual mute.

I guess the only pathetic moment was the Keanye West (sp?) drivel at the mike.

"O-B-E-S-I-T-Y
Have another slice of pie."

Just kidding - I love Aretha at any weight.

[Constitution Day]

Good to know!

I TiVoed it so I could fast forward through any drivel when I watch it tonight.

[Resolute Conservative]

That’s a lot of woman.

[Greg F]

She’s 65. She outlived Jim Fixx.

[mnehrling]

She’s Aretha. She can wear anything she damn well pleases!

You got that right! Royalty deserves RESPECT!

[TexasCajun]

That's a whole lot of soul!!

Just watched the Blues Brothers in HD last week, what a great soundtrack!

[cyclotic]

Aretha appears tonight dressed in the latest fashion, a screaming yellow taffeta designed by Kelty for the new Coleman Collection. It features three zippered doors, an oversized rainfly, full water resistant bathtub floor and over 60 sq. feet of no-see-um bug screening, all in a dayglo yellow so you can find your way back after that late night latrine run.

[Interesting Times]

Sometimes greatness comes in large packages.

[sweet_diane]

"She’s Aretha. She can wear anything she damn well pleases!"

Yes she can!

[Clemenza]

Leave Aretha alone! She has a weight problem, but at least she isn’t wearing spandex bicycle shorts and a tube top.

[redstates4ever]

You said it. Ann Wilson is awesome.

"S-U-P-P-O-R-T
Find out what it means to me
S-U-P-P-O-R-T
Take care, TCB"

I was listening to their greatest hits album on the way to work this morning.

Man I was in love with Nancy in the 70’s.

[Dixie Yooper]

She’s Aretha. She can wear anything she damn well pleases

And she was singing Gospel.

[beckysueb]

Her dress looks very tasteful and classy.

[Dixie Yooper]

I guess the only pathetic moment was the Keanye West (sp?) drivel at the mike.

If that was the guy who they tried to cue the music while he was talking about God and his Mama, it was my favorite speech.

[TADSLOS]

ROFLMAO!

[MortMan]

You’ve got my agreement, FRiend.

[buck61]

It features three zippered doors, an oversized rainfly, full water resistant bathtub floor and over 60 sq. feet of no-see-um bug screening,

Loved it!!!! LOTFLMAO got my side hurting!!!

[DogBarkTree]

Are you sure that isnt Maggie WIlliams?

[buck61]

And she was singing Gospel.

Too bad the audience wouldn’t know that ???

[thingumbob]

I love your music...

but damn girl cover up that other snausage you call an arm!

[Axenolith]

Man I was in love with Nancy in the 70’s.

I saw them when they played JMU back in the mid 80's. My buddy managed to catch them out back after the show and got a photo with Nancy hanging her arm around him and hugging him, talk about jealous...

[Thrownatbirth]

"This is the house that a lotta jack built, y'all..."

[dfwgator]

“Hey Nineteen, That’s ‘Retha Franklin...”

[najida]

What’s wrong? I see a great singer singing....

[netmilsmom]

I watched them too (just to see the Hairspray album lose to ANOTHER Beatles remake-poo)

But, seeing Tina Turner perform “Proud Mary” with Beyonce was worth EVERY minute I spent wondering who people were. When I’m Tina’s age, I want to move that well. I sure don’t now!

Aretha singing Gospel was positively thrilling. No matter what she was wearing. She was past amazing!!!!!

[TexasNative2000]

the Dairy Queen of Soul?

Very good.

[netmilsmom]

>>She’s Aretha. She can wear anything she damn well pleases!

Thank you!!! I might have picked a different dress, but the more that people make fun of her weight, the more she will stay hidden.

We deserve to see her.

[netmilsmom]

>>What’s wrong? I see a great singer singing....<<

Sometimes FReepers can be so crass.
I’ll never forget when Nell Carter died. Half the thread turned into fat jokes.

It was disgusting.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

IT’S THE RON PAUL BLIMP!!!!! ;)

[maggief]

[najida]

But on another thread, folks snark about “no one has the right not to be offended”.

If ya don’t like the way someone looks, deal with it! According to some, the majority of the human race should never leave theThat’s life. Aretha is alive and still singing. That’s a blessing.

[dangus]

Damn, baby got back FRONT!

Baby got SIDE!

[dangus]

Good Heavens, she looks like a rotting banana!

[blam]

Crazy On You

[dangus]

Is that Heart? Does Nancy take all of Anne’s food? (Or did I mix up which was which?)

[dangus]

I guess this means the show’s finally over?
