If you weren’t already aware who the queen of all things mighty and bitchy is, then hike up your fancy yoga pants and prepare to bow down to her Highness, Aretha Franklin.?? Ms. Franklin has once again shown that her ego and her shade throwing skills are just as large as her voice (and love for fried chicken).
Aretha managed to shut down multiple bitches in one fell swoop in one of the most glorious interviews I have seen in a long time.? And you know no one will have anything to say back because one does not contradict the Queen.
Aretha Franklin has a new album out called Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics, or simply Suck it, Beyonc?. Unfortunately for Aretha, we live in a time where you either?have to leak a sex tape, make music videos with your titties or, or go old school and?promote the shit out of your music in order to get people to buy it. So the Queen has had to take time out of her busy schedule to sit with commoners and talk up her album.
Now, what these interviews mean for us is the opportunity for awesome quotes from her Majesty.? And we have been very blessed thanks to a silly little reporter who dared to ask Aretha how she felt about the current “divas” of music.
On Adele: ?Young singer, good singer.?
On Alicia Keys:??Um, young performer, writer/producer.?
On Taylor Swift:??Okay. Great gowns. Beautiful gowns.?
On Whitney Houston:??Whitney was a talent. Definitely a talent. She had a gift. And Cissy?s baby.?
On Nicki Minaj: ?Nicki Minaj? Hmm? Now I'm going to pass on that one.?
“I’m going to pass on that one.”? PUT DOWN YOUR SUNGLASSES BECAUSE THE SHADE IS SO HEAVY IT’S PRACTICALLY NIGHTTIME. Holy shit.? I love how the only ones she gave any acknowledgment of talent to are Adele and Whitney.? Alicia Keys just writes shit and Taylor looks pretty in her sparkly dresses.?? Also, Keys is 33 years old.? Not AARP material, but I don’t think I’d refer to her as a young performer.? She’s been around a good decade.
Basically, the entire thing was one big “Bless her heart” in the bitchiest way possible, and I breathe this type of shit.? Here is the video?if you feel like watching it all go down.

To be fair, Aretha has a voice we all wish for but she sings other people’s songs. She has no place commenting on singer/songwriters because she can’t cut it in that arena.
