Aretha Franklin is pissed off because Beyonce referred to Tina Turner as "The Queen" at the Grammys...
Aretha, known as the Queen of Soul, says,
"I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyonce, however I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy."

I would love to see Aretha & Tina literally fight for that title.
Beyonce' should have known better than that shit!
Retha need to go sit her fat ass down somewhere!! She sounded terrible on the Grammy's anyway, all screamin over everybody else!
If she stepped on some toes somebody wouldn't have a foot.
i luv Aretha she rocks but... she always been a whiner never like to share no shine. Dammnit this was not about her if it was she would not of let someone that was anybody come sing with her. She is a queen, Tina is a queen, Diana is a queen, Mary - queen- Whitney- queen. Tina been doing this a long time and if she can get up on stage and blow like that along side a younger star well somebody give this woman a drum stick and shut her up. Of all those woman Aretha can sing it all but come on..
i think the show was so boring the best they could do is drum up a bunch of backstage gossip
aretha looks like she's hiding 2 full sized children in her shirts.
Beyonce couldn't have thought of that on her own...she read it...incredibly well...so Re Re...get back on Slim GOTDANG Fast and sit down.
She cry too much. How much RESPECT does she need to be happy.
Every other SOUL special they honor her. Tina is 70 years old can she get a break? Dog gone it.
Next time serve her buffet style and she wont care what the hell they call somebody else.
Now the Queen of Pork - thats her all her. She so proud why she let herself get like that?
BTW, Aretha is my favorite the Lady is a bad mamma jamma
Like Beyonce's dumb ass could ever think of anything "sneaky".
Beyonce probably has no idea what the words she say's means. It's like when you have your lil niece say something...Say Hi Beyonce, say hi. BEYONCE, SAY HI. You don't wanna say hi? Come on, say hi Beyonce. etc. etc. etc.
They actually asked Aretha how she felt about that, she didn't complain to the media about that, but everybody is posting only half of it. She said I love Beyonce anyway, but nobody posted that. They asked how she felt, and she spoke her mind, but everybody's trying make Aretha look like a bitch.
Beyonce needs to watch out or Aretha's gonna smack her with a titty if she dont act right; then go in the lab and write a song about it.
If you ask me, the writers disrespected all of the ladies they named, they basically said that, they only have one thing, but Tina has it all. They could have said Queen Of Rock, not just The Queen.
BEYONCE AND TINA WILL NEVER BE AS GREAT AS ARETHA

CHECK THA NEW KNOCK
"HYPHY WIFEY"
Guess we can rule out Beyonce playing Aretha in the upcoming movie.
You're right about that!
I thought to myself why she would say something like that too. If they would have said this Grammy goes to The Queeen, Rihanna, she would have been upset too
Tina is 70 flippin years old....Bey had to keep up with her dancing...lol. Tina is A QUEEN!!!! So is Aretha, this is soooooo STUPID, just another cheap shot to make blacks look small minded and petty...AAARRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHH!
The Grammys were on, when?????
Im gonna roll with Mama Retha on this.
this is a big to do bout nothing! C'mon now people!
Well Queen Elizabeth better watch how she uses the title around Aretha. Charles may become King ahead of time. LOL!
WHo made Aretha the Queen? Is this something her marketing camp made up back in the day, and now she has bought into her own hype? She needs to find a buffet and make love to it and shut he fat azz up.
What is with these titles and nick names same thing happened when they called Heidi "The Body" and Elle got upset or was the other way around my goodness.
Aretha got em all beat and she knows this but so what if Tina was called a Queen too? At 70 she couldnt be introduced as a Princess. Get a grip Re Re. That is her nickname too sooo glad no one called Rihanna that around her or there would of consequences and repro damn cussions.
someone shove a whole chicken in her mouth, so she can stfu
The "Queen of Soulfood" needs only to worry about the size of her girth. And maintaining her posture while carrying those heavy ass tig bitties around with no bra on.
I mean damn, I'm a natural 44dd and I dont let the girls wander around on their own for too long. But girlfriend never rocks a stapless bra, trying to be all sexy with her off the shoulder dresses, nipples hanging down pass her elbow.
She said she won her 20th Grammy. I sure as hell didn't hear any of her new songs. When the Orca can get her big ass on the stage and strut like Tina did, then I'll take her seriously.
She's just trying to take our attention away from the real news.
Bringing her own hotdogs to a catered party!
They was talking about this on The View today. Whoopi said everybody knows Aretha is The Queen Of Soul, and if the writers had been there, they wouldve caught that. I guess the producers wrote the show. The media is just trying to bash Aretha, it's no big deal.
Aretha is the Queen, there is no dispute. We didnt see the Late James Brown get upset and put out statements when Whitney started calling Bobby the King and that was a title well not deserved.
Geez Aretha get a grip its not that serious
Beyonce know damn well she didnt know who Tina Turner was growin up. Tina had her big come back in 1984 when Beyonce was just a small kid. Tryin a front on the other ladies just to make a stand out of Tina aint cool. Hey B, why dont you stop runnin around actin like Tina Turner all the time, and start actin like Beyonce for a change? THE REAL QUEEN DIVA Diana Ross got a song for you. "Do you know where you goin to?"
Everybody always comments about how energetic Tina Turner is on stage. Personally, I've never been a fan. I think she was always pissed and working out her Ike Pimp Slappin' drama on stage.
Come to think of it Tina does seem to be mad quite often dont she? If it wasent for Ike putting his foot in her ass we wouldnt even know Tina wasent her real name - nor would we care. therefore it shouldnt have enraged Retha to let her get her night on without commenting on it.
Beyonces hair looked nice.
Would Aretha share a stage with Beyonce hell no and from here on in she is on notice it will never happen
Now why can't Beyonce have been sincere when she said she always wanted to sing with Tina? THe woman can move no doubt about that. Bey has a lot of doors open to her and for her and I think she is blessed - no man can close those doors. No matter what anyone says or does she is beautiful and has pleny talent her speech is a little challenged but so what
I love Beyonce's new hairstyle but her thunder thighs were kinda distracting. Tina looked good for her age. I thought Tina was going to break out singing
I'M SO GLAD IKE HAS PASSED
HE USED TO BEAT MY ASS.....
Aretha, please put down the donuts. Carrying that kind of weight at your age -- or any age -- is just too dangerous.
Aretha it aint that serious...maybe she wasnt refering to Tina as the queen of soul but queen of rock..
Queen os soul queen of rock who cares! Bey thinks Tina ia q queen period!! She does everything like her. So in Bey eyes Tina is her Queen. Aretha needs to sit down
baddasschic says....Um I just watched thier perfomance on youtube. Tina is almost 70 and she looks good, her skin is so smooth and she still has a nice shape!! SHES A QUEEN TO ME TOO!!!
That's right ReRe, let these young broads know who the Queen is. Im so sick of Beyonce's ass! But on the real, it's a known fact that Aretha can get bitchy about other female singers, just ask Natalie Cole, Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle, Mavis Staples, or Bette Midler.
Beyaki Creole-fried Creflo whatever her name is...She is overrated! Her music sucks! Listen to her lyrics, people! She obviously dropped out of school at age 7! Her music has no substance, no meaning. Her image is what sells all around the world!! Its her flashy clothes, the yaki weaves and lace fronts, its her 5 inch thick layer of makeup, its her light skinned complexion, and her curves. They don't care what she selling! If stores stocked a box full of rocks with beyonce's picture on it, all of her crazed fans would be buying it! oh yeah, and she has a spanish album or song out too-talk about broken spanish-AND ENGLISH.
as for aretha, i love some aretha! she sings about REAL SHIT!
and what's with bey's voice? she normally doesn't talk like that-she sounds like she's puttin' on! her and her family need to all sit down and take a vacation, they are some workaholics.
Areatha has her health to be more concerned about that some dayum title. MJB is labled the Queen of hip hop/r&b. She doesn't seem to have a problem with that. It was only fitting that Bey, who has patterned herself after the legendary Tina Turner, would refer to Tina as the "queen". She is a queen to Bey and to most of us she is the Queen of rock/pop. The term queen is not a trademark name owned by Areatha. Lose some of those damn rolls and tighten up that flab, respect yourself ri ri when out in public. It would be nice if you put on a damn bra. The loveseat look is not pretty at all. Get over it. Your big ass doesn't have to be kissed each and every time you make an appearance. Part of being exalted is when you humble yourself. Tina is almost 70 years old and wore an outfit that night that most 20 something year olds would not look good in. Body still in good form. Yeah, Tina deserves mad respect.
I know I am going to get hate for this last remark, but...*preparing to run for the hills* Bey's thighs are just dayum big. I know she a thick girl especially in the hip region, but wow. Not a bad look, I just wanted to metion how big they are. :)
You dont see them giving away Elvis title, by calling somebody else king, so why should Aretha's title be compromised?
Areatha nor Elvis own any titles. Michael calls himself the king of pop, Mary is referred to the Queen of hip hop/r&b. In my opinion, Bey just paid tribute to the one she considers the Queen. After all, it is Tina who is Bey's idol not Areatha. NO ONE owns these titles. These titles were given out of respect from fans, etc. I refer to Mahalia Jackson as the Queen and I don't care of Areatha likes it or not. Areatha is straight ego trippin'.

Thank you 10:11!!! LET someone white get up on stage talkin' bout "the King" and NOT meaning Elvis. White folk would be rioting in the streets.
As for 12:01pm, 12:22pm, 4:04pm, etc. So damn what if Aretha is a big woman. What matters is the woman can SANG! That's what she's known for. She never had to get up there and shake her ass or flash her cooch with no panties on or have her top 'accidentally' fall down on stage (all Beyonce) just to get publicity to sell albums. She never had to do those things because she can actually sing. She is the Queen of Soul and that should have been respected. Now respect also goes out to Tina. I hope I can keep it moving like she does at her age. She's the Queen of Rock and Roll and a legend in her own right. Now eat the cake Beyonce.
BEYONCE LOOKS UP TO TINA BECAUSE SHE SEES HERSELF SURPASSING TINA...SHE CAN'T SURPASS ARETHA...BEYONCE IS SO RUDE OUT DANCING A 70 YEAR OLD WOMAN AND ALMOST KNOCKING HER DOWN...RIHANNA DIDN'T UPSTAGE THE TIME...SHE DANCED WITH THEM...
ALSO, IF THE TRIBUTE WAS TO TINA, WHY DID BEYONCE HAVE TO SING SNIPPETS OF HER SONG...
BEYONCE IS SELFISH AND HAS NO RESPECT FOR ANYONE, NOT EVEN MICHELLE OR KELLY.
SHE IS TO SELFISH TO EVEN LET THEM MODEL HER MOTHER'S GOWNS IN AN AD I SAW IN ESSENCE.
BEYONCE CAN YOU SPELL SHARE. YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT BIG BY YOURSELF - DON'T FORGET OTHERS.

Thank You 10:24! Bigger issues people!!!
There's a lot of divas, but only one queen, thats Aretha. But the media is making a big deal of nothing.
^^^For real. Bigger more important issues at hand.
; -) are more than welcome @ 11:20 PM. I got this from a Puerto Rican brotha at work today and could not wait to get home and share....
Please feel free to pass it on and God Bless us ALL!!!!!
Oh please, no she never had to to shake her ass and go naked that alone should speak for itself the woman is truly gifted but the night was not about her and he comment was thoughtless - so what if they called someone else a Queen it is a word no one put the shit in stone.
I bet people like you keep shit spinning and spinning and spinning huh.
Y'all know beyonce was born yesterday - The majority of these 'artistes' under 35 either don't care or don't know (cause they didn't learn) about the history of R&B/Soul. FOr them history starts around maybe the late 80s - so its all about jodeci and boys to men, Shai (lol) etc.. they barely know about new edition, and its only cause Bobb-ay is cray-zay.
They probably had to explain to Bey who Tina was 10 mins before they performed.
So... I'd venture to guess that she was uninformed and didn't know what she was saying or didn't care about potentially upsetting anyone.
As for out dancing Tina.. well I'd like to see Bey try to pull some of the sh*t I saw Tina do at 50+ when she gets to 50+ ..silly rabbit.
10.24 - I like the arguments contradicting every obstacle thrown up against barak for president.
But what about the theory that he's been planted as a last hope for the republican party to get another 4 years?
It goes a little something like this:
Republicans won't get elected unless they can split the democratic vote:
A Black candidate will split the democratic vote - because while the majority of black people will vote for him, they are still at most 15% of the vote.
Some whites will vote for him, especially on the coasts - but the majority of southern and midwestern white democrats(the rest of the country you really need to win) will stay home rather than vote for a black man...
Bingo! 4 more years! Sadly, I think we're falling for it.
Aretha is 1 Luther Burger from kicking the bucket.
1 luther burger away from kicking the bucket
^^^ I doubt it. Unless they are ready to go to war with Mcain cause he will certainly pull us into another war.
I have 2 words for Aretha............Jenny Craig!!!!!!!
Ashanti "The Way I Love You" Leaked Video on my site. This is most likely the directors cut of the video. I'm new so please show some love on my page when you go view this hot video!
http://thebestof2worlds.blogspot.com
9:14 AM - I pray that you are wrong but only time will tell. I believe that one more GD Republican president will cause the FALL OF AMERICA! Just as the Roman Empire! With all that is failing this nation, from the outsourcing of jobs, complete evaporation of the garment, manufacturing and auto industries (to name a few), and govt. officials selling top secret weapons info to N. Korea, China, Iran, etc... without a care for the welfare of the country or its ppl. Where are we headed then?
Sit home at the risk of your future, your children's and grandchildren's future no longer existing!
can you say, "THIGH MASTER"?
this site had me laughing for about 1/2 hour people are funny thelaughter is good for the soul oops watch the word soul
Beyonce's fuckin up you dont piss off Aretha! Anyway some dyke lookin chick came out and said she wrote the script. Now they shouldve said queen of rock. Who listens to Tina? well nobody I know atleast
"Anonymous said...
I have 2 words for Aretha............Jenny Craig!!!!!!!
6:09 PM"
^^^^^^And Aretha's got 2 words for you!
Chicken Leg!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I'd like to Supa'man that hoe.”
~ Bill Clinton on Beyonce Knowles
In 1985, Aretha Franklin gave birth to the first fried chicken restaurant in Scandinavia. She named it "Franklin's Good-Time Chicken" and the logo is an image of her face enjoying a tasty rip-off of Cuntucky Fried Chicken's Popcorn Chicken. Aretha, however, disowned the restaurant in 2003 when it betrayed her in the war of the Mongooses.
10.41pm - I hope we can dig out of the position we are in. Unfortunately the simple math is that we've spent so much on iraq it is bankrupting us. I'm not sure what people thought would happen when they threw their support behind the war but I'm sure its not this. Notice you don't hear them talking too much about how much it costs? billions per month?
No matter who comes next get ready for a huge tax increase to pay for all of that.
All I hear repubs talking about now is barak so.. I guess the plan is fully in effect and working.
10:28pm and 11:14pm.....YOU ARE BOTH SO SO RIGHT....AND I WILL ADD THAT BEYONCE IS JUST A POND BEING USED BY THE MEDIA TO DEPRECIATE THE BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMEN,...THIS IS WHY WHITES LIKE HER, BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT BEYOUNCE... THIS DISRESPECTFUL, SELFISH, SNEAKY,CONNIVING,SKIN BLEACH, BLOND WIG WEARING, STRIPPER DANCING, ANNOYING VOICE,OVERATED, WOMEN YOU DONT SEE A BLACK SOUL SISTA....MARY J. BLIGE IS A SOUL SISTA,ALICIA KEYS, LAUREN HILL, JILL SCOTT, ERIKA BADU, ANGIE STONE AND COUNTLESS OTHERS BEFOR THEM... THESE BLACK WOMEN ARE ALL DIFFERNT SHADES, ALL TALENTED AND HAVE REPRESENTED BLACK WOMEN IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY WELL....BUT BEYOUNCE HAS SET BLACK WOMEN BACK IN THE SLAVE MENTALITY MODE....AND WHEN I LOOK AT ARETHA FRANKLIN I SEE SOUL, ARETHA FRANKLIN IS THE TRUE QUEEN OF SOUL MUSIC,SOUL MUSIC THE FOUNDATION OF ALL MODERN MUSIC...BOW DOWN YOU YOUNG AND DUMB HOUSE NEGRO'S .....GENERATION X NEGRO'S LIKE BEYOUNCE, HAVE NO SOUL........AND MR KNOWLES WE KNOW ITS YOU SENDING MOST OF THESE NEGATIVE BLOGS ABOUT ARETHA' WEIGHT
they both corny with this mess! old as Aretha is Bee need to respect her craft!
On the View, whoppi said, Aretha is the queen, and thats just how it is! Then on good morning america, diane sawyer said Aretha is the queen and everybody knows that. So I mean a lot of people feel Aretha did nothing wrong.
NO DISRESPECT TO THE RESPECT LADY,BUT THIS IS GOING A LITTLE TOO FAR. ARETHA DOESN'T OWN THE BRAND NAME OF THE QUEEN?SERIOUSLY SHE SEEMS TO BE THE WHINING TYPE,BEYONCE WAS ONLY SAYING TINA IS HER QUEEN.TO ME THIS IS REALLY PETTY...
got damnnnn! beyonce got some big ass thighs! i know she like popeye's chicken, but is that where it goes?!?! tree trunk legs and thighs.
Beyonce said "The Queen" not "The Queen of Soul". and it doesn't matter that B said queen cause Aretha doesn't earn that title, shit her name ain't Elizabeth, in that case she'd have a right to be mad. and fat ass Aretha ain't mad when people call Mary J. queen cause she is "The Queen of RnB". maybe B meant "Queen of Rock n Roll" because they do sing 2 totally different styles of music. anyway, she maybe called "The Queen of Soul" but B may like Tina Turner's style better than hers. i know that i prefer Natalie Cole, Diana Ross, Patti LaBelle, and Gladys Knight over Aretha 'fat-ass' Franklin.
ywhy
and whoever made that comment about Elvis being the King, shit, fuck that. that title deservingly belongs to Little Richard.
elvis stole his 'soul' from the black man. rock 'n roll is derived from r 'n b. not the r 'n b of today, not the tainted kind, but the r 'n b from back then.
beyaki is an attention whore. and what aretha really wanted to say was, 'tina aint got nothin' on me, and beyonce bitch, you don't either'.
...and beyonce was lying through her teeth when she said she idolized tina turner...the only thing that is relevant to her toasting tina to me-is the fact that tina has the same name as her mom-she even said that part too in her speech LOL. beyonce has only idolized beyonce as far as i'm concerned. the knowles have their own trademark-except when beyonce steals a stage performance and music video inspirations from michael jackson, britney spears and from some a few movies and tv shows (sex and the city, charlies angels, i-spy, etc, etc).
It's silly to fight over a "fictional title" Everyone one knows that Aretha Franklin is the Queen of Soul, has been, always will be.
Tina Turn is the Queen of Rock and Roll, always has been always will be.
They both are two wonderful singers, with a different style and audience. We love and appreciate them both.
you guys are stuuuuuuupid there is nothing wrong with beyonce's shape, you people obviously must not have a shape to be talking ish about hers , men love big thighs
Now-now, washed up severely overweight ancient soul diva... don't get your panties twisted over this. Does Aretha have a patent on the title or is this just some typical woman bullshit?
maybe aretha is jealous because beyonce only lives in one body.
^^ I dont know what she has to be jealous of? She complains too much you dont hear Gladys, Patty, Shaka and all them crying about shit . She need to do like every other self respecting movie and rock star does if the event is not about you - DONT COME.
can take the heat of someone else being honored stay out the kitchen.
( now that may be a little hard for you)
Ya'll kill me tombout Aretha's weight..and 1/2 u could lose 10-15 lbs ya dayum self. Leavin grease all over tha blog typin that dumb arse sh*t.
Retha IS the Queen! Tina turned her back on black music as SOON as she left Ike. Read your musical history,,,Tina has often said she prefers "rock & roll over the 'sad ol my baby dun left me ...R& B.'
So the Queen of Soul IS, and will ALWAYS be, Miss Aretha Franklin!!
Give our icons sum respect. ya buncha field n*ggas.
I think Paul Mooney said it best on his comedy special "Know you're history": Aretha Franklin. . . . . . . DIVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aretha is having a "diva" moment that was completely uncalled for. Beyonce' just call Tina the "Queen" from HER perspective. She didn't really diss Aretha at all but we all know how female competition is so we can imagine. what makes it worse is Beyonce' isn't even trying to dead the situation, her dad is firing back! how is B? last time I checked, she is 26. that equals up to Grown Ass Woman! The situation is silly but at least stick up for yourself Beyonce'
BEYONCE legs.... THUNDER THIGHS
^^^She has 183 mag covers. How many u got? Exactly it's ugly females on here that are jealous of Beyonce, because no guys are complaining. Beyonce is the richest most successful and popular black female artist and will be a legend whether you like her or not so give it up haters. It's been over 10 years and Queen Bey is here to stay!
Aretha is the Queen of Soul. My only concern of her weight is for health reasons.All those losers trying to make jokes need to get a grip, whose to say what they will look like at her age. Besides nobody wants a BONE BUT A DOG !!!
