I’ve heard the name Chaka Khan. It’s a memorable name. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard her music.

Chaka Khan???
I never ever heard of it...

Does it have anything to do with the Mongols attacking again?

I feel for you.

I don’t think I love you.

But I feel for you.

Chaka is mad, but she’s using the wrong sense to discuss it.
“Blind as a bat”? “Helen Keller?”
Chaka, you were a fantastic background singer, or for special riffs on the chorus, but you sound sorta dumb right here.

Besides, her heyday was about 35 years ago. That level of coloratura has been equalled and surpassed by people like Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. Time does not stand still for any Diva.

I only remember her one song “Tell Me Something Good.”
She’s lucky she rated as high as she did.

Chaka may be correct in what she says about this since, among woman R&B singers themselves, she is considered to be the Gold Standard of range, style, and technique. Even recognizing that, her response here doesn’t say much for her class and humility. But, hey: and entertainer with a foul mouth and huge ego— who’d-a thunk it?

Say what you will about Adele but she has been blessed with a fantastic voice. As for Chaka Khan…. I feel for you was a long long time ago.

And if they’re blind. What does that have to do with their hearing?!

The list has the auto tune queen Taylor swift ahead of Donna Summer and Loretta Lynn. Kind of hard to take seriously.

“Those music critics are blind!”

Is this a bad joke?

So... one big hit song (I Feel For You), one other notable hit (I’m Every Woman), a prominent back-up roll (Steve Winwood’s Higher Love), and several dance tracks.

A legend in her own mind. The reason she’s so famous is her big hit song features her name repeated over and over and over, something which TMK hadn’t been done before.

Just tell her 29 is a prime number. Like number 1.

Props for saying this: The “Ain’t Nobody” singer also didn’t mince words when it came to folkie Joan Baez, who hit the list at No. 189. “Let’s be honest, the bitch cannot sing!”
