Aretha Franklin Interview - 3/27/2002

[@ladymarmaladea.2463]

She kills me when she says OOOKAAYY! LOL. I LOVE YOU ARETHA

[@anjelheaven]

Yeeees! I was wondering if anyone noticed that she said that quite often. Even in that Snickers commercial for the Super Bowl. Lol

[@ktipbomb7888]

Yass honey ! I love that too! The Queen's catch phrase !!

[@Positivemindreset]

😂 Me too

[@bd3825]

Remember she also said that during the Wall Street Journal interview when that guy asked him about a list of artists when he mentioned Taylor Swift the queen said 'okaaaaay, beautiful gowns'. LOL

Myra Miller there are many planes ...there is no real death but eternal spiritual envolvement our consciousness seek to learn, acheive & experience everthing it can in a vast & huge infinite space. whats really painful about death is the separation, the fear, the total-reality of BEING unaware in our limited state of (thinking) mind in this realm where we all are passing- through

[@dansefureva7664]

Aretha reminds me of that aunt or that older best friend who has wisdom, plenty of stories to share and will set you straight if you get out of line!!!! She is the true definition of a "diva" and I mean that in the best way. Thanks for the beautiful music Aretha.

[@labbecedario1579]

She loved opera: in an interview around 2013 She said She wanted do an operatic album after her cover album, but saddenly there wasn't enough time...

She was still polite in the Wendy Williams interview. Was she throwing shade? Yes! But she was not rude whatsoever.

[@brenee82]

Martin Lee she liked Wendy. She was the one that reached out to her and requested that interview (she was a fan of the show). She did another one over the phone with her later on too if I’m not mistaken. Hell she told her she was gonna take her to go get bbq after the first one lol. What makes you think she didn’t like her?
