    Aretha & Patti have always been friends & had respect for one another’s talent. People put that negative & out-right wrong narrative out there about them having beef. Every time you saw Patti singing at an Aretha tribute it’s bcuz Aretha herself personally requested & chose Patti. Who else was on equal footing to Aretha when it came to singing, ESPECIALLY back in the 1990’s? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Dolly took it to number 1 twice ( making country music history ) Whitney had the longest running number 1 with it in the whole pop era. Each made it their own and each one showed us how and why.

    Yes Miss Patti does deserve her Kennedy Center Honor as she is also a National Treasure. If you have never seen her live than you don't know the POWER OF HER VOICE. I saw her in Feb.2012 and her show was INCREDIBLE, especially when she SANG the LORD'S PRAYER acapello, her voice hit the rafters and came back. This was in honor of the Chicago 911 operator who talked to the airplane that crashed in PA on 9/11 after Miss Patti had met her. Sending Love and Prayers too Miss Patti and her family. A TRUE CLASSY LADY AND AN TRUE LEGEND

    "Ain't No Way" sounds so good with the choir, but I miss the soaring soprano from the original.

      Right! Priceless! Aretha couldn't stand female singers that could sing her songs in a way that made the song theirs. Kind of like how in the tribute to Aretha, Fantasia took Aretha songs and made them hers. But Jennifer sung then exactly like Aretha almost like an audition🤔. Aretha told Fantasia backstage, that she did good but I'm still the Queen! Ironically enough, Fantasia cuts up on stage like Patti and Jennifer is classic like Aretha! No wonder Aretha made that comment. The similarities of Patti! 🤭🤦‍♂️😅
      Patti style is different from Aretha. But many compared them. That's disrespectful to such a trailblazer like Aretha and to Patti! Many tone death people say Patti screamed this song and others, but never diss Chaka Khan the queen of scream! It's a simple like or dislike comparison. If you are a fan of one, you become a petty troll to discredit the voices of the others! All of these ladies are our legends and deserve our respect! So comparing them is sad!
      I also think it was sad they couldn't genuinely get along in business. Dionne, Patti, Gladys, Chaka, and many other key singers said Aretha had to be the center of attention and could not stand playing second to anyone! Obviously and especially not second to Patti strong voice! Many male groups, and lead singers from the 60 - 80s said the female singers were intimidated by the power of Patti and Chaka voices and could not stand them singing their songs because it became a their song thereafter!
      Many of these newbies thought this was a Patti Song! Go back and look at the comments from over a decade ago under this same song that Patti sung on her tribute classics album! So that's why Aretha and Diana didn't like Patti singing their songs! Aretha face was awful! Queen or no Queen, that's not becoming of a sister in Christ! Patti never did anything to this woman but song her songs in honor and respect! God Bless them both! Our Legends and Queens of song! 🙏🙏

    Aretha is my favorite singer of all time. I also love Patti, Chaka, Gladys, Billie, Sarah, Ella, Jennifer, Fantasia, etc. See! You can like more than one singer. You don't have to tear one down for the other. That type of behavior is not an accurate portrayal of the culture these women come from.
