During the celebration dinner for her 70th birthday Aretha Franklin announced that she's resigned with music mogul Clive Davis...
Aretha confirms,
"I have re-signed with Clive Davis, so I'm recording with Clive again. We're going to sit together and decide what it is we're going to record."

Why does the back of her neck remind me of a fucking slab of beef?
Oh and first you dirty slores.
The way she looks i think he's paying her in sandwiches....
(Insert Whitney Houston conspiracy comment here.)
Illuminati comments in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
@12:56... Clive killed Whitney to make room for Aretha!!!! I just had to say it
Oh Clive you are really reaching deep into the throw back machine to pull up this cow. Face it your one and true star is gone thanks to you. How about that 12:56.
KILL THAT BASTARD CLIVE DAVIS!!!
KILL THE BASTARD!!!
To do what??? Help her prepare her funeral hymn list? Is somebody really asking "when you gonna give us that new Retha joint"? Sheesh! Sit back and enjoy your spoils Ms. Franklin.
lose a little weight at 100 yrs old and now you wanna conquer the world, getting engaged and starting new record careers and shit. lol
If anyone from the record company had Whitney killed it would likely be to recoup whatever they could get of the 100 million dollars they put up for her last CD, concert tour, loans, etc. The CD sold fairly well, I guess, but her tour was a flop. Her voice was a wreck and she looked a mess. She just couldn't get her grip.
How the fuck did this topic become about Whitney Houston?
Ok yall we get it. Yeah, illuminati, Clive and Ray J killed her. Got it.
MOVE THE FUCK ON AND TALK ABOUT THIS BIG NECKED BISON SITTING ACROSS FROM CLIVE IN THE PIC!!!!
I heard Aretha has a song with Snoop, Trey Songz, and Khia called "Tummy Tucks & Sex"..
UGH!
I CAN'T STAND THE SIGHT OF THIS CLIVE DAVIS MONKEY.
IF I HAD A GRENADE LAUNCHER, I'D AIM IT STRAIGHT AT HIS UGLY FACE!!!
Ok, 1:22, you sound like a crazed lunatic. You need to bring it in by about 150%, umkay?
@ 1:06
"when you gonna give us that new Retha joint"?
I just died! rotflmao
1:15 PM, Since you've already spoken for everybody and basically dictated how the forum should go, have fun posting and answering your own comments. Later, jerk!
P.S. Happy Birthday, Aretha!
Say-What, now?
Big fat ham hock eatin bitch. Lookin like a sun burned beached whale. You and that water bottle throwing bitch Patti LaBelle need to take a trip to Mars.
1:22, alil much...
This is so random but she reminds me of those turtle looking things in the movie 'The 5th Element' in this pic
Hopefully her health will remain good and looking forward to more of her music. Bring your music back to us.
I wish her the best of luck and good health too, but honestly...do we really think we're going get any more classics out of Aretha?
Clive "Demon" Davis. Comeback=Death
LMAO @ 1:42... You are so right.. She actually does rotflmao
@1:42 - You're right - she does look just like a Mondoshawan. Don't ask - Fifth Element is one of my guilty pleasures. lol
@yall know what is crazy, it might be Snitch her/him that is making these lewd white folks speaking comments. We don't talk bad cough um about Our Lady Of Soul. Plus there are better pics of her at her party. I just wish she get the right bra size before any more pics.
@1:42pm LMAO!!!!
Now Aretha can finish paying for her 2nd-Gastric Bypass.
I am sick of people commenting on themselves , I am looking up who owns and runs Snitch bc I am tired of the negative comments and postings.
ARETHA'S NEXT! I CALLED IT!
Obviously, he knows Ms. Franklin is worth more dead than alive and at this rate is inching closer to her fate. If she is signed to him when she dies, I wonder how much money he gets when everybody runs out to get her Greates Hits album?
^^Exactly 2:06p
He will bring the following to every meeting they have
Roscoes Chicken and Waffles - with extra butter and syrup
A dozen Krisky Kreme donuts (the one on Crenshaw where they are the most greasy)
A HoneyBaked ham and anything that deep fried, fatty or loaded with sugar
This 'hole will never bring anything from Whole Foods or a green salad.
The incredible ignorance on this blog is absolutely amazing. Aretha Franklin is a musical legend. What, exactly, does her weight and appearance have to do with anything? This generation has no respect. Wow.
lmao
Cosign @1;06
She just signed her own death certificate
Greed and vanity to boot
LOL Yeaaaaaaa I have been waiting for the Aunt Ree Ree mix CD to drop! LOL
Clive Davis sit your old arse DOWN
Do any of you have grandparents Aretha's age? Maybe even parents her age? Why on Earth are you all saying such demented shit about a woman's whose done nothing to any of you? She doesn't deserve to be disrespected like this. And I hope those of you mocking her and her weight aren't Black. It would be a sad shame that those in the Black community would disregard and disrespect one of their OWN living legends like this.
@1:20 LOL I wonder how long Aretha got to live.Nobody is buying his replacement Brandy AND Monica with all their fake Whitney Houston tribute what happen to J Hudson did she lose all that weight for nothing.Evile C is a blood sucking Parasite feeding off his host nation the black without us they would have been extinct long time ago Money fuels their very existence CUT OFF THE MONEY SUPPLY TO THESE PARASITES, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL DIE OFF LIKE THY WERE SUPPOSE TO..DONT WORRY THE SUN GOD IS COMING FOR THEM,,NO MATTER HOW THEY TRY AND BLOT OUT THE SUN WITH THEIR CHEM TRAIL CLOUD BUSTERS OR THEIR HAARP MACHINES, THEY ONLY HAVE A LIMITED TIME ON EARTH
I am sick of people commenting on themselves , I am looking up who owns and runs Snitch bc I am tired of the negative comments and postings.

@ 2:53
I'm over 35 and am blessed to have my parent and grandparents still around. It's not about her weight for many of us, it's about Clive Davis' greed.
Though I wasn't a fan of WH, he and others took a huge dump on her barely cold corpse by not only having a Grammy party in the same venue where she died but saying right before that bunk-ass J-Hud is the next Whitney. Sorry about her losing her family but she does not have "it". Dreamgirls movie was how long ago?
If Clive gets a hold of AF's catalog, his great-grandchildren will survive recessions like what we're having now.
3:54, Right, but you didn't even address my point. The comments on here are so vile and corrupted. She's a 70 year old woman. Her weight should be irrelevant when it comes to the talent and legacy she's bestowed upon the world. Granted, we can't change her decision for signing with Clive, but at the same time, her and Clive's partnership doesn't warrant this unnecessary hate.
@3:55*, not 3:54^^^^^
I hope she know what she doing,Clive Davis is ,will always be an industry shark. But to those who feel the need to throw shade at Aretha's weight,grow up and stop being ignorant on your unpaid for computers. I can see her wanting to do another album. But I dont know why she choose to wk with him. But she grown,she's been in the business 47 years so I guess she contractually knows what she's doing.Iam buy whatever she puts out,because unlike the "dirty kids" shading Ms. Franklin,I know real music isnt a bunch of equalizers,voice overs,mixes or that other crap the critics on this site probably consider classics. Clue,its like trying to serve chicken mcnuggets to a streak connesiour.Their words prove they are not even intellectually able to comprehend what good music might sound like.Ignorant bastards.
wow!! this is awesome..go>>> Aunt ReRe.
Age ain't nothin' but a number
HATEretha you betta keep an eye out........
4:27, The kids of this generation are a true disgrace. Most of them should have been swallowed, real talk.
That's right...trash Ms. Franklin and keep losing. Black people are done for in this country. And Good riddance!
I just hope Ms. Franklin gets a dress that fits and flatters her all at the same time.
I don't mind listenning to Aretha. I can't with these young gunz. I can't even turn my fucking radio on without them highjacking it.
Aretha cool peeps, but Clive is a heartbreak hotel Aretha don't be the next victim.
3:24, I think you're wrong.
Here's a pic of glam entertainment's founder.
Looks black to me.
SO
Here's the link to the pic of glam entertainment's founder. She looks black to me.

Okay @4:01
Just like WH had a weakness, so does Re-Re and she's made no secret about her love for fried food. If you know the insurance industry. then you know that older people tend to be a risk anyway.
Add in being near grossly overweight and they're more of a flight risk, meaning $$$$$$$ collection is around the corner. Here comes Clive with open hands.
Clive knows this and it's been said by others that he is one of the more vile folks to deal with in the industry.
As far as this board goes, this is really noting as I've been coming here since '06. Last year, they did a sweep to get the racist comments off by banning IP addresses but that only lasts so long. If you read Sandra Rose, posters joke about getting kicked off and returning all the time. SR even jokes about those who go too far.
So in short, most of us here have nothing against Re-Re and many of those mean posters probably have issues. Either way, lighten up.
Interesting that the Aretha was the one person who couldn't make it to Whitney's funeral despite being "close" with her and then mysteriously re-signs with Clive after her death.. WTF
I wish as black people we could unite like we did in 60's....what a powerful force we would be....instead of tearing each other down. Willie Lynch alive and well....crabs in a bucket..Martin must be rolling over in his grave 10x's
Clive needed a new race horse in his stable to replace the one that died.
Aretha will not let Clive Davis beat her down.
While yall are talkin' 'bout "Aretha better be careful fooling with Clive", and so on and so on, what yall need to be saying is "Clive better be careful fucking with Aretha." 'Cause let that slug get outta line in any kind of way with the Queen of Soul; she will dig that mofo a new asshole. Aretha DO NOT play, especially with her money. You see she's willing and ready to go back into the studio, instead of retiring from the biz, in her golden years like most older people do.
Mofos can talk crazy on RWS if they want to, but please don't sleep on Aretha Franklin. Please don't. She might be "big", she might be "old", and she may even be criticized for (of all things) being "Black", but Queen aint no joke. Never has been. These young ass, dumb ass, no talent singers today (both female AND male) need to sit down and study Aretha's performance tapes - SO THEY CAN SEE HOW IT'S REALLY DONE and learn something valuable, 'cause the shit they doing these days aint near 'bout it.
@6:18 I thought it, you typed it! :)
@1:06 and @1:08 Iaintmadatcha aka IAMdamnmadatcha I couldn't breathe after I read those 2 comments. Lmao! Took me a min to catch my damn breath. Loves me some Reetha, but ion like this move one bit. Ion trust Clive's shady ass.
@The poster that typed the long spaced out comment typed in all caps. Are you @Onlyluvblackpeople that posts on MTO? Something about your comment reminds me of that poster. No shade just a question.
RIP Trayvon Martin
Snitch can we get at least one post on the Trayvon Martin case, pretty please? I listened to the audios for the first time today, all I could think was although I have no kids yet his parents are better than me. Hearing the audios angered me, my blood was boiling. I wanted to look for the fat ass predator looking rent a cop ass muthafucka my damn self. How dare he take that boys life. Vigilante son of a bitch. I hope that evil racist bastard rots in the firey pits of hell.
^*How to catch a predator looking ass....Zimmerbitch racial profiling and stereotyping ass angered me so much I made a mistake in my comment.
@7:52 PM: They're gonna try to pull a Gavin Cato on Trayvon.
I co/sign on the request for a Trey Martin post. Tomorrow should be eventful..
I Respect Aretha but i just wonder why she always have her arms all out like that.
Clive just seem like a Snake to me. The money he upped whitney was a while ago. Whitney just should have tried to fight her demons harder. She might
have fought hard then some one helped to speed her
time up. Once they started thinking that she would be worth more dead.
@6:11pm
A SELLOUT BLACK SKINNED INDIVIDUAL IS THE SAME AS YT RACISTS BECAUSE THEY SHARE THE SAME INTENT AS FAR AS DEGRADING & EXPLOITING BLACK PEOPLE AT EVERY CHANCE THEY GET
^^^I don't think RWS is so bad. You're going off based on what some of the commentators are writing. Just ignore them, or better yet check them.
Hey, Snitch!
This you?
http://www.facebook.com/geeltd?sk=wall
To think that Trayvon Martin's murderer still runs free tonight with the smoking gun he used to kill that child. Zimmerman claims Trayvon beat him up and broke his nose. Well, Trayvon is dead. The whole world knows the face of George Zimmerman. People, without justice there will be no peace. Justice delayed is justice denied.
On Easter Sunday, church congregations across America will be dressed in hoodies to mourn the fact that Trayvon Martin's murderer has yet to be called to account for the senseless murder of an innocent child.
GET WELL WISHES TO BOBBY WOMACK WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU MUCH LOVE TO YOU CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR SOME NEW MUSIC FROM YOU TAKE CARE.
I am sick of people commenting on themselves , I am looking up who owns and runs Snitch bc I am tired of the negative comments and postings.
