Never

You're wrong in your comment that "she had nothing to prove"... Not long before this performance Beyoncé controversially called Tina Turner "the Queen of Soul" (controversial because Tina is known as the Queen of Rock and everyone knows Aretha is the Queen of Soul). Aretha was asked about this at the time and she clearly wasn't happy with it. THEN came this performance... and it was obvious to me (when I watched this performance at the time) that she was reminding everyone who the real Queen of Soul was. Because she was already sick and really didn't need to do this appearance. You can still see that she meant business from the moment she walks onto the stage. Her attitude screams "hold my purse, Beyoncé"...

Really well done by everyone! Singers and band and engineers!

Great. Soloist are r on fire

Pure blood. Healthy and proud!!

Do you sell these arrangements for choirs? I direct a choir and this would be amazing to sing with them

Sure this is cool

SURE wish you guys would react to AURORA doing "Life on Mars" (David Bowie cover), live and alone on NRK.....it is about the best vocal performance I have ever heard. Why no reactions in so long?

No. All art is not totally subjective. Like the great Muddy Waters (I think) used to say, "there ain't but two kinds of music; good music, and bad music".

These women should be imprisoned for stupidity.

This is so beautiful, enough to make a grown man cry.. -Not me though

Is there sheet music for this? I'd love to perform this with my choir.

Did you react to Miss Aretha Franklin Nusum Dorma at the Grammys

I love this so much! I wish we had a group like this where I live. I’d start one if I had any experience directing (I mean, I have some, but not a significant background - just leading worship at a bible study). Spent many years in the church choir as a youth and adult, not in church anymore and finally joined a new women’s ensemble connected to a local children’s chorus. I’ve just found these last couple of months that much of my joy is found in WHAT I sing and I want to sing pop or the like, not Christmas music or classical music or whatnot. Sigh. I love the mix of ages you have as well. I feel kind of young in my group, though there are a few other women who are a bit younger. I’m kind of in the middle and no one else is in my stage of life and one of the reasons I joined was to build friendships. Not really happening. And I have to go into the city for rehearsals and it seems everyone else lives close by and I’m in the next county - distant suburbs. Ugh.

That guy begind obama is his guard

Is the arrangement written down ?

Please react to Shoshana Bean singing Make it Rain, live at the Ace Hotel.

This is what Aretha does. An absolute masterpiece of a voice. The One And Only…The Forever Queen of Soul. 09.17.2023

Sorry, but this is the kind of performance you don't talk over. Aretha is a legend.

Wooow I found that again one year later. Awesome stuff, thank I you love it so much

This kind of singing comes from the Soul. From the pain of the Descendants of Black American Slaves. Something you just can't teach.

This is so beautiful!!! I'm crying. One of my FAVORITE SONGS!

Bey would tear up 🥺🥺🤍🤍

You guys give me hope

Aretha at any age was a force ..

Why do I cry every time but the reactors don't?

I'd prefer tht you stop te video raher than talking over te artist

Perfect!!

Keep in mind, the LATE/GREAT/LEGENDARY Aretha Franklin, was also battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer at that time. Only to pass away from the disease three years later. Carole King's facial expressions and hand gestures were priceless.

Can't tell if satire.

This is so beautiful!

This is beautiful! What a lovely arrangement and wonderful voices.

That's a real big L if I've ever seen one

This is a joke right

I'm sick of the mindless propaganda fuck off

Uve fucked it up for yourself by complying

Their killing animals now eg elephants

Slightly different version than ours but very well sang! Here is Line-Up’s version ❤ kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppXIdKqLmtN1hpo

That performance was what I considered just short of Biblical.

Outstanding performance by the Queen. Keep in mind, at this time, she was battling cancer. She was amazing. R.I.P. ❤️🇨🇦

What a bunch of imbeciles. How embaressing.

God's blessings hope 💋💃🏾🙏🏾 L-o-V-e

I can tear up when I hear the first words she sings in this video. You said "I wonder what it was like for her to sing during the civil rights movement." As a white man, I can only guess, but I would say that you are HEARING the civil rights movement in her voice just now. All that she has seen and been through. Those 73 years of living in the skin she was given in a place where she was marginalized and relegated. The voice and music that argues that "I will not be marginalized and relegated" with such power and knowing. We wonder where that sort of magic comes from. Certainly, much of it is God given talent. Bit it's what you do with that and how your life informs your performances that makes for that sound that we all hear and marvel at. At 73, not only did she still have it, I think she was better than ever. A richness and assuredness that only come with experience. On those first few notes, that voice barrels through like a freight train, carrying all that she is and all that she has to say. Great review!

Stupid is as stupid does. I and my whole family have had all 5 injections. Still here.

Sick of my cats butthole?

this's so beautiful ❤️

You all did a beautiful beautiful job! It's appreciated the way you all We're just honest and true about what you heard and felt. So many reviewers try to too act like they find something that she did wrong or that's not as good as somebody current. Ridiculous! The lady is not looking for respect. Doesn't necessarily stand on she deserves respect. She has RESPECT!! World Wide!! Thanks!!

super spreader event

Really, every two seconds a f…….. comment? That’s ridiculous 👎👎👎👎👎
