Kirandera girl bye Aretha was already in her early 50s that time so that's no comparison into what Aretha could do if she was her prime thank you very much
BRILLANT. This is the only women I know that can demand respect, sang the blues and take you to church with conviction within a 8:41 minutes span. This is why she is the QUEEN. Now the wig thing, yes, she threw her hair. The blues makes you feel that way sometimes. My girl! You go!
When she snatched her wig she made sure she turned around to show the people that she had hair...this is the only person I've heard of that was prepared for her wig to be snatched off.
Just felt like watching that wig toss and I searched for "aretha franklin throw wig" and wonderful keywords brought me here, and lo! someone gave the time stamp to that slam dunk! Now I can go chill.
She knew how to sing those Gospels. She said hallelujah! Sister Ree Ree had to keep going back to her roots, and give God the praise. That was bold especially in that atmosphere. Tee I hope the prayers of the masses were heard by the Father, and we see u on the other side.
This lady is the real Queen... Others come along and try to claim the title but no. Because there's only 1 Queen and we are looking at her. God Bless Queen Aretha Franklin. Rip
it's something about the song Respect that just gets people happy and on their feet!!!!.... the song is over 40 years old and still resonates with every generation.....wow!!!!... and no matter how over weight she got she still wore beautiful gowns with confidence.!!!
I Love Aretha Franklin. God has Blessed her in so many ways. I love the fact she acknowledges him all the time. I pray the Spirit moves her to make another Gospel album.
Now, that was definitely a “ Diva Move” when she snatched her Wig off. She’s the only one who could pull that off. That’s Queen Aretha for you. You got to Love her.👑🎹🎤🎵🎼🎶❤️👠👠
Aretha was so genuine and down to earth. A true sista, when we take our Wig off in public we letting God have his way and don't care what it look like. I doubt it if these artist today would mess up their hair do. Go head Atetha and your do still look good when you threw that Wig to bless Him. Love it
Yooooooooooooooo, that was one of the most memorable moments on BET. Me and one of my friends were watching. When she put her hand up towards the wig we were liiiiiiiike, careful now Aunty, getting a Lil close and when she snatched it off WE HIT THE ROOF. We was liiiiiiiike OHHHH SHEEEEIT no she didn't!! 🤣😂🤣😂, snatched it like G. Love her, may she rest peacefully
TODAY I SING THE BLUES "and it strikes me kinda funny how fate can be unfair that i come right on the losin' end in every, every love affair!" Great wording, great voice, love this song
😂🤣 That wig though.. Snatch it of queen. RIH. Awesome performance. Thanks for leaving us great music and vocals. I love ❤😘 your legacy. Classic Icon 4 life. Then only 👑💍👸💅✊queen.
This is one of her best live performances of "Respect" in her later years. Great vocals. Love the ad-libs and the scatting. She was an American treasure forever and always!
She was so shook by her own singing she had to snatch her own wig, LEGEND.
Bihhhhhhhhhhhhh
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭
The only person who snatches Aretha Franklin's wig is Aretha Franklin.
Hahaha, exactly.
Rocío Tomlinson Well, and Celine Dion. But we don't have to revisit that.
Kirandera WRONG! YOU might WAN to reisit that! AND realize that the voice that you think is Celine's is really THE QUEEN'S!
+Kirandera figuratively or literally snatched aretha's wig off?
Kirandera girl bye Aretha was already in her early 50s that time so that's no comparison into what Aretha could do if she was her prime thank you very much
Am I the only one who liked her look better WITHOUT the wig?! That sleek low bun was everything
Very yes.
I was like, "There's a whole headfull of hair under that wig...
(And people act like brown-skinned women can't grow hair--- tuh!!)

5:38, Stop playing.
Depending on the mood, she’d snatch off her wig, her fur. She played absolutely no games. #OnlyAretha 🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️
I swear only Aretha could pull a wig snatch. And it be the most amazing thing in earth. RIP sweet lady.
I guess she really is a natural woman.
I’ll walk myself out
The "I'll walk myself out" is what makes your comment so hilarious
