Live: Aretha Franklin (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman @ Kennedy Center Honors 2015

Yes, yes, yes! Legendary Aretha Franklin totally shut it down at the Kennedy Center Honors 2015 that aired in the US last night. Honoring Carole King she sang (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, had Carole stunned beyond belief and made Barack Obama cry. At 73 she still has her vocal game on top and we just love when she plays the piano! Honestly we can all go home now - Aretha showed us where the door is, haha. Incredibly good and heartfelt - a performance for the ages. Watch in awe below!  

Premiere: Aretha Franklin - Rolling In The Deep (Adele Cover)

Imagine writing a song about a crazy breakup you had at 20 y.o and a few years later Aretha Franklin releases that very same song as a lead single. Well that's exactly what's happened to Adele and her contemporary evergreen Rolling In The Deep. The original video has over half a billion views (!) and we have a feelin' there's gonna be a renewed interest right about now. Aretha will release her ...Sings The Great Diva Classics on October 21st and we sure hope there's gonna be some behind the scenes footage of her singing this one. Just hearing her use the word shit in a song, haha. Git it Aretha! She takes it to church for sure and it's a real treat hearing her iconic vocals take on contemporary material. Remember when she sang the underwear off Mariah Carey's Touch My Body a few years back?! Sure, we'd loved if her voice wasn't so manipulated and was kept a bit more raw + not sure how they came up with mixing in Ain't No Mountain High Enough - that's kind of the antithesis to Adele's firey rage. More anger and less flat production... Anyway...welcome back Ms. Franklin!   

Aretha Franklin on The Wendy Williams Show

Aretha Franklin has lost a lot of weight. We're happy the iconic artist seems to be doing a lot better than she has recently. Not sure as to why she chose to go on The Wendy Williams Show to discuss it tho, as this has got to be one of the worst interviews we have ever seen. Wendy ain't no journalist that's for sure. Taking up so much space in the interview, and then asking what Aretha thinks of The Real Housewives and Dancing With The Stars? What?! And when she starts dancing...OMG!

Snickers ads - starring Aretha, Liza and Betty

Love these new Snickers ads starring Aretha Franklin, Liza Minnelli and Betty White. So funny and pure genius.

The lipsynching bear

Wrong on so many levels. But entertaining at least. Aretha Franklin lipsynching Joy To The World in a gown, fur and fur hat/collar/whatever at the Rockefeller Center.
