i think aretha likes more of the gospel tributes now bcuz if u notice thats the only time u get a real reaction out of her when someone performs. anybody else notice?
The main thing is that Aretha certainly enjoyed & appreciated All their contributions as this song was "Home" for her & Many of us! Doesn't matter who can out-sing or out-perform as it's All Glorious Praise & if there's any "completion" then it's against evil forces around us & the against the "armor" we use in the form of spiritual song! :-)
That's a matter of your "opinion." The Fact is that Mahalia Jackson was & is truly the "voice" that is the "original" in Gospel where all other voices are measured, and Mahalia stated emphatically that Aretha's "mother" had the most powerful voice she had ever heard. No dispute, Aretha's voice was exceedingly beautful, but in the Gospel field, Mahalia still holds reign. Aretha idolized Mahalia.
I just love the way Karen jumped in at the end....LOL She probably was thinking "I know this dude ain't trying to come into my soprano section".....lol
@TheQueenAretha oh no i was just talking bout the ones still living............mahalia is the queen mother of gospel........clara is like the diana ross of gospel.......and she was one hella song writer.........marion williams was a beast.......inez andrews and others..........
Actually, Whitney Houston's "The Preachers Wife" Soundtrack was also counted on Billboard as a Gospel LP and IT is the biggest selling gospel album of ALL TIME, even surpassing Aretha Franklins Amazing Grace.
If you closely at 4:10 you see Micah look at KiKi like WOW DID YOUR MOM JUST DO THAT?.....and if you look even closer Twinkie even gags a little...hahah...that note and the way she riffed all the way down the scale was nothing short of redic!
YES Karen is up there with Aretha, but I don't know if she surpasses her just yet. Though Aretha herself even called Karen personally to play a younger version of herself in an upcoming movie. So that let's you know that even Aretha has mad respect for Karen and her vocal ability!!!
@TheQueenAretha gosh thank you!!!!!!!! i assume you and i must be in the same age group or older........grew up on a wide array of song stylists..........when you don't have a big reference point............this is your argument......karen is okay.....hell i wuld argue that as good as karen is yolanda is a better ocalist because yolanda like aretha is a song stylist!
@TheQueenAretha you know what....we gonna let that nut foyogood keep living in their fantasy world........aretha is in the history books........known internationally just by her first name. elton john was influence by aretha's gospel leanings to play piano. i can't believed i went back and forth with this person. we gonna let the queen sit on her thrown and everyone else bow at her feet. if karen is lucky she can kiss her ring..lol.....check out my other channel with re-uploads...aikan1974
do you understand aretha is almost 70?! she can still hold her own incredibly well for a woman who smoked for 40 years had babies.been around the world on stages countless times and got weight issues. can you do what you did 50 years ago? 10 years ago? karen is good but trust she can't even stand in aretha's presence!
I've seen this a couple of times and still cant figure out what that heck Re was wearing lol.....and i just had a feeling that Karen was gonna get the last run on Jesus be a fence...
I see people have lost their minds. Karen Clark-Sheard is a legend in Gospel music and has a very good voice BUT Aretha is a legend in Gospel, Jazz, Blues and of course Soul. Many of you see the 67 year old Aretha Franklin and must not know anything about her music. Aretha was singing like a grown woman at the age of 14 in her daddys church. When Aretha released the Amazing Grace album it just proved no singer will ever touch her.
@darrenriccs you ain't neva lied!! Faith channels Karen like its nuttin smh alot of people say Faye and Karen sound alike. I agree 100%. . . And both of em got alot of aretha in em
now I admit that I Love Aretha, but let's call a spade a spade. Karen has a bigger range, a better vibrato and her riffs, runs and trills are PHENOMENAL. Aretha is great and paved the way for a lot of artists, and I give her ALL of her props, but I still say Karen would shut her down. But it's all a matter of opinion.
I have been a Tina fan for forever, and she has been known as The Queen of Rock for decades. She is known just as much, if not more than Aretha worldwide by that title. It was a misunderstanding and Aretha acted very divaish even after the correction. That's Aretha, she is the biggest and baddest diva if there ever was one. Her and Babs, :P But like it matters anyway. People know Aretha is a diva, but people generally don't care as she has earned her status.
@motownbaby There are people outside of this country who have never heard of an Aretha Franklin but listen to gospel music and do know The Clark Sisters. I was on UA-cam and I saw these two Chinese women singing Karen Clark-Sheard's hit song "Favor." So, everyone has their own audience they reach. Of course, the world would not acknowledge her because she doesn't sing secular music, duh!!!!!!! Beyonce has sold way more records than Aretha Franklin ever will, but does that take away?
Wow...yall are so wrong. Beyonce was disrespectful on so many levels at the Grammy's because she listed Gladys Knight and several other currently "living" singers as "good" including Aretha, but said one is the "best" and that was Tina Turner. She should have left names out. Aretha is da queen because she holds the record for winning the most grammys of any Rythm and Blues/Gospel/Pop/or Soul Singer.
@foyogood Karen is my absolute favorite singer, but it sounds like you're putting the cart before the horse here. Karen herself has said that she listened to Aretha. And I say without Aretha, the general public may not be as open to gospel music (she broke down barriers). So even though Aretha has smoked her voice away IMO (I just don't get it anymore), STILL we'd all be foolish not to give her RESPECT! After all this is a tribute to HER....most people (outside of church) don't even know Karen!
Great inspirational songs. Aretha deserves this tribute. She also deserves a better dress. Would you like to wear a dress that size with this many feathers? Sue her designer!!:):)
as bad as karen is...you have lost yo mind!....i usually just read comments and respond to myself.but you crazy.....karen still can't touch aretha now...........shit................karen was at the speakers listening to aretha not the other way around!
@AIKAN74 Excuse all of ya'll. KAREN CLARK-SHEARD is the only one who ARETHA chose to play her in her upcoming biopic. NOBODY, ABSOLUTELY NOBODY can hang with Karen Clark-Sheard. Aretha FRANKLIN Is not a LEGEND in GOSPEL. She is a LEGEND in SOUL MUSIC. That's why she's called the QUEEN OF SOUL but not even in her prime could she ever sing like KAREN CLARK-SHEARD!!!! You better go back and watch some of The Clark Sisters old video (especially at the Soul Train '89) NEVER could aretha do that!
i think aretha likes more of the gospel tributes now bcuz if u notice thats the only time u get a real reaction out of her when someone performs. anybody else notice?
Twinkie's reaction to Karen's note at 4:10 is PRICELESS! I think even she was surprised!...lol!
Aretha was enjoying Twinkie..me too!
When you are the Queen, you KNOW you are the Queen.
The main thing is that Aretha certainly enjoyed & appreciated All their contributions as this song was "Home" for her & Many of us! Doesn't matter who can out-sing or out-perform as it's All Glorious Praise & if there's any "completion" then it's against evil forces around us & the against the "armor" we use in the form of spiritual song! :-)
Karen's voice isboike a bank vault.. She CAN tap into it and get it's FULL richness when SHE SO CHOOSES!!!!! Twinkle I love u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a matter of your "opinion." The Fact is that Mahalia Jackson was & is truly the "voice" that is the "original" in Gospel where all other voices are measured, and Mahalia stated emphatically that Aretha's "mother" had the most powerful voice she had ever heard. No dispute, Aretha's voice was exceedingly beautful, but in the Gospel field, Mahalia still holds reign. Aretha idolized Mahalia.

Lawd.....Tina and Ericka did that....evyerone did their thing but it was just something about "How I Got Over"....love that song!
KAREN at 4:06-4:10...The most amazing 4 seconds of my life!!!!!
Karen and Aretha are both equally great in their approches to music! Please stop the arguement!
Bebe should have sing longer I was ready to shout!!!
I was seeing that. lol. I'm just glad Twinkie didn't growl across all of them. There would have been some hurt feelings.
It sounds so wonderful
It's so good that the music director has stop directing and start Praising God too. Awesome, Awesome!
LOL, at the end KCS said "Well Micah...You Cut My Duaghter Off, So NOW I'M CUTTIN YOU OFF!!!" LOL!
Yeah noone can do those CRAZY runs like Ms Karen Clark-Sheard. GOTTA LOVE HER!
praise him for the believers. thank you father.
Karens riff at 4:06 was sooo sick! Even Twinkie reacts to it like...wow girl! hahahhahah!
Empress of My People! Echoing my voice in Spirit Amen
That note Tina hits at 6:19 is CRAZY!
Karen Clark Sheard is a BEAST!!!! She murdered it
KAREN DON`T MAKE NO SENSE!!!!
Her range is limitless, she can climb up notes like crazy.
YES!!!! Okay, we all know Karen will have church any where but this was
C-H-U-R-C-H. I wanted to see Aretha shout =).

Lord, there is nobody on earth that can end a song like Karen!
have you forgotten that aretha and others from her generation.tina, diana, gladys, dionne, nancy was kicking royal ass at 49!
karen at 4:06...what note was that!!!!!!!! Good God Almighty!!!
@TheQueenAretha oh no i was just talking bout the ones still living............mahalia is the queen mother of gospel........clara is like the diana ross of gospel.......and she was one hella song writer.........marion williams was a beast.......inez andrews and others..........
Actually, Whitney Houston's "The Preachers Wife" Soundtrack was also counted on Billboard as a Gospel LP and IT is the biggest selling gospel album of ALL TIME, even surpassing Aretha Franklins Amazing Grace.
Fabulous! I love this
Karen's finishing move with that melisma. Wow 4:05 hahaha that's Karen for you.
If you closely at 4:10 you see Micah look at KiKi like WOW DID YOUR MOM JUST DO THAT?.....and if you look even closer Twinkie even gags a little...hahah...that note and the way she riffed all the way down the scale was nothing short of redic!
Karen is a FIE soprano!!! #Ijs
hahah Twinkie looking at the Marys like "Me and my sisters were KILLING at that age.."
thanks for uploading all these gems:)
great tribute to the unique Ms ReRe
Karen is good and there's no doubt. But the only person Ive ever heard whose voice can even be considered in the same sentence as Aretha is Twinkie.
Moi BENJAMIN TOKO ET DJOYS TOKO
Plein de la joie d´ecouter et de vous voir encore en live.
laisse la paix de jesus soit avec vous Amen.
@TheQueenAretha youre right because she surpasses her talent wise.

Karen said I got this
YES Karen is up there with Aretha, but I don't know if she surpasses her just yet. Though Aretha herself even called Karen personally to play a younger version of herself in an upcoming movie. So that let's you know that even Aretha has mad respect for Karen and her vocal ability!!!
Was that not amazing and it came out with such ease and clarity!! She needs to come up with a new cd ASAP
@TheQueenAretha gosh thank you!!!!!!!! i assume you and i must be in the same age group or older........grew up on a wide array of song stylists..........when you don't have a big reference point............this is your argument......karen is okay.....hell i wuld argue that as good as karen is yolanda is a better ocalist because yolanda like aretha is a song stylist!
@TheQueenAretha i told you we were going to let dreamers stay in their fantasy world........we just gonna give the queen her praises

There is nothing wrong with comparing. They are all great at what they do.

@RaineaTrenton she's playing the Hammond Organ lol
Where was Inez Andrews this day, she should've done "Mary Don't You Weep" not BeBe Winans!!
that C# at 4:09 kills me!
Great inspirational songs. Aretha deserves this tribute. She also deserves a better dress. Would you like to wear a dress that size with this many feathers? Sue her designer!!:):)
@TheQueenAretha boi u will be aretha's age arguing wit this nut!
@thephotographer4you Does she need help with her medical bills? I can't imagine this being truth.
as bad as karen is...you have lost yo mind!....i usually just read comments and respond to myself.but you crazy.....karen still can't touch aretha now...........shit................karen was at the speakers listening to aretha not the other way around!
Micah Stampley was so not needed in this performance! It was like get out the way and let Karen and Twinkie finish lol!
it's not that crucial at all. They were all taking turns singing and I'm sure Twinkie didn't care
