Clearly we share very different opinions I am here to protect them. I do NOT have a social media presence but if I did I would not spend 11 minutes telling jokes that not only assassinated their character but a craft y’all two share with them.
I am not coming for y’all.. to the contrary, I am protective of my black sons. Please protect us back.
Ms. Houston still got it and has contributed a lot to the music industry. The two of you Gentlemen are bad asses but don’t come for Queen Ms. Cissy Houston. Oh and leave Lil Mic alone 🤣🤣
Nice! I love your promo! Keep up the good work!
Ok i can't imagine you and me me being Mexican and always being funny 🤣 aki te espero
Aretha had cancer and no one knew during this, Cissy was likely developing Alzheimers around this time. This was around 2 years after her daughter died the following year her granddaughter would pass away too. I see two black women standing despite obstacles and doing their best. Cissy was doing the best she could at the time. She herself had been singing for decades...she has nothing to prove to anybody.
That was my reaction, having seen several people with dementia. Sometimes they still can do music, see Tony Bennett's late life career. But she didn't look like she was there enough to have fun.
Yep it takes two queens to mock these REAL Black queens.
Mind you this is the same year that Whitney died cissy was still grieving her daughter
Well said. Yes Friend. Yes. Well said. Thank you.
PERIODT.
Cissy is legend and Aretha is icon. Neither had anything to prove by this time.
Aretha Franklin the Queen of Soul is a Legend and a Icon! And Cissy is well cissy is a legend and icon to she raised a singer who people would love and dance to whatever music she wrote
young people kill me tryna come for the road builders. these clowns cant lick cissy's shoes
Aretha Franklin is that friend that will tell you, "Come on honey put your sparkly dress on, we going to the show." I think she was helping her friend get through a tough time. Not everyone knows or cares about how to be a good support system. I could be wrong though.
Yep, it's very much a come on honey - get on stage for old times sake
Cissy is giving, "where my background singers." And Aretha is, well ARETHA! Like let me hit these runs and put on a show to distract everybody.
Lol facts 💯
We share very different opinions. I am here to protect them.
“these runs” and “a show to distract us” are what helped payroll many individuals in the black community including the civil rights movement. These women’s music was the balm that got us through many terrible pains.
Their craft and musicality are sampled, interjected, and emulated by all musical genres… EVEN by these two hosted gunslingers as they take cheap shots.
❤
Cissy Houston is one one backup vocalists, so why would she be looking for "Her backup vocals"
@@iamlove113 I actually completely agree and we share the same opinion. I am very aware of Ms. Franklin's and Ms. Houston's contributions and hold them both in high esteem, as I'm sure Stevey and Avery do as well. Just a little jokey joke.
All I can say about this WHOLE performance is
Gowns. Beautiful gowns. 😂
Don't do that! Don't do that! 😂😂😂😂
@@sxm76 🤣🤣🤣
Stoooooopppppp!!! 😂😂😂😂
@@BNWhoIAm 😂😂
🤣🤣
"Did I leave those greens on the stove?" Sent me!! 🤣🤣
Mother Cissy just lost Whitney around this time and she was very very depressed and Aretha had her join her basically to try to uplift her spirits. So no Mother Cissy was unfortunately not herself. But it was still a beautiful performance 🎭 🥰😭
I think Aretha did a great job of blending these songs and mashing them up and showing you how similar Adele's running in the deep and her vocal runs were to Diana Ross's vocal runs on Ain't no mountain high enough especially at the ending of the song. I think Aretha is an incredible singer and she has such a great ear for music that she noticed that and she wanted to show that and reflect it by matching these songs up. That's what I got out of it. I still love to Miss Cissy Houston and I thought they were entertaining and I loved it I'm here for it.
Y'all had my crying 😭😂🤣😂😂😂😂👍
Only a true lover of the craft understands this. I also believe Aretha rocked this and blended it well. I read Ciscey was suffering from alzheimer's disease, knowing this these guys are not funny. They don't seem to respect real singers.
And both songs were written by Ashford and Simpson so there surely similarities. But to the makers of this video...... I thought I was going to hear a critique of Aretha's vocals and not ridiculing of Cissy Houston or Aretha's dress. She looks remarkable considering all the things going on in her life. In fact so did Cissy. Shame on you!😮😮😮
🤣🤣🤣 A perfect example of "fake it till you make it".
Somebody didn’t show up and Aretha said, “I don’t give a damn, come on Cissy”😂
😆😂
Aretha sang her face offff. Period!
At this time it was said that Cissy was really going through. Death of her daughter and Bobbi Kris stuff happening plus she was in early stage dementia. Aretha was being kind to a friend and felt having her on stage would be a good thing for her. Bless their hearts. And because Aretha is Aretha she would never be unkind to an ailing Diva like Cissy. Now that is not to back in the day she may have reacted in a whole different way.
It's sad that they fell out over this too. After 50 years of friendship.
Aretha is the type of person that don't forget the old bridge that brought her across! Cissy Houston along with the Sweet Inspirations are singing on many of Aretha Franklin's huge hits back in the 60s and the 70s. When you listen to Ain't No Way that's Cissy Houston hitting that High operatic note. We can only hope that artists in this generation could be so loyal.. As You Grow Old... Cuz you will....
Y’all petty for this 😂😂😂😂 I cried laughing. Cissy just showed up, that’s all, that’s it.
That zoom in look though!!! I died. Cissy has never heard this song a day in her life but she definitely wasn’t gonna sit in the audience while Aretha was on a stage with a live band singing her face off. 😂
Nah nah nah Momma Houston meant to be shady!!!!!!! She got church upbringing where we are taught to BLEND! For goodness sake this is the woman who taught Nippy how to sing and perform. Ain't no way she didn't know how to blend!!!! The moves were simple enough for her to catch them. She was being shady!!!! LOL😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol. You are right about that blending!
Nah catch her eyes she was looking to see what everyone was doing lol
If Aretha's performance took place after Whitney's death, this may have been the context for Cissy's performance. If I am not mistaken, Aretha was one of Cissy's oldest and dearest friends. Aretha stated that she couldn't attend Whitney's funeral because of issues with her feet only to perform at Carnegie Hall later that evening. That would understandably be hurtful to Cissy. I don't know what else transpired but it is very sad to see that this happeded to the legends. That being said, my father was a die hard Aretha fan-she could do no wrong. He used to say two things about her. When I was young and wanted to sing, he would tell me to lock myself in a room and immerse myself in Aretha. He also used to say that if he hadn't married my mom, he would have married Aretha. (smile) You two are classy men and vocalists and you have something valuable to say about singers we like. In the future, could you do some reactions to Martha Wash, Joshua Rogers, Tarralyne Ramsey, Keke Wyatt, Debelah Morgan, Oleta Adams, Lalah Hathaway, jazmine Sullivan and the like? Thank you and be blessed in all you do.
That’s exactly the case.
Whitney had passed not too long before this performance. It might be funny to some but you never know if this was a way to get Cissy doing something fun. If Whitney had not passed and this was legit mess it would be funny to laugh at. But to each is his /her own in the way you view the video.
Actually this is one of last performances that both Aretha and Cissy are seen on a stage together.
This David Letterman performance is a full 2 years (2014) after Whitney’s death.
@@jtoure2954 Thanks for the timeline. However, we still don't know how long a snub or perceived snub can fester between close friends or associates.
Cissy is an very accomplished singer. Check out her beautiful soring background vocals in "Ain't No Way". Now do a video on that! What 80+ year old lady is trying to learn new songs? Give her some grace!
These two are ignorant and clearly do not have even a fraction of Ms. Cissy Houston's singing talent..
Cissy was diagnosed with Alzheimer in 2018. This is from 2014. Alzheimer sloooowly kills you mentally and physically. I was not surprised seeing some of her interviews and performances after Whitney died since I work in healthcare. Aretha had been dealing with Cancer since 2010/11. Both of you need to pray you never get old and or sick. Or as my grams use to say, LIVE LONG ENOUGH AND YOU WILL FIND OUT.
@Felicia Gill Precisely! No respect. No grace. They both should be ashamed.
I get it, while that may be true. These are just jokes. They clearly respect and love these women otherwise they wouldn't care at all.
It’s not funny to make fun of old sick people they are disgusting
@@longbranch11207 These women are more than that, they're legends, and to see them ridiculed was unfortunate.
@@joncerda351 When you Respect someone you don't clown them.
Why do "young" ppl 🙄 refer to older and elders as old? The statement " that's what old ppl like" is stated as if you meant for it to be insulting when in fact living many years is actually a blessing, I mean that is why we celebrate bdays right smh.
It wasn’t insulting but just say You don’t like the word “old” old ppl do the same thing to young ppl when they make dumb decisions
@@AppleBloom21 his tone when saying it was condescending and truthfully I have told many of my elders "they too were once "young" so don't look down their nose either, but two wrongs don't make it right.
@@blackqueen5201 his tone was humorous so IMO he wasn’t being rude just comical. Calling a generation or people from it old/young isn’t rude it’s labeling an observation. Nobody is wrong so there is no two wrongs. Aretha is old while summer walker is young. IMO you’re being sensitive cuz you don’t like the word. Many people from Aretha era of music do use a corded mic cuz that’s what’s familiar to them but most of those people are in their 70s so many ppl see them as old. And that’s their opinion of their age. You are being overly sensitive.
@@AppleBloom21 you Rebecca that part you wrote "imo" well my statement was my opinion and it's not that I don't like the word old but I know too many silly ass so called "young ppl" use it as an insult as if they have some more greatness cause they are young so most say it in a demeaning way and TO ME he said it that exact same way as of that was the punchline.if you didn't feel that way fine but it won't change how I and many others on this thread feel. There was definitely a Lil shade here in the name of joking. Lastly didn't ppl learn labeling itself is wrong
I spit all my lemonade out! STEVIE when you said, "Batta bop beep beep" your ad libs floored me! 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😅😅
How did people see you 2 together and think anything but craziness was going to ensue? #PureJoy
I honestly had no idea what I was getting myself into 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yall bogus! Let her legancy live on in Peace! Smh..
This performance is gold!🥇
I think she was at the wrong show altogether...EPIC !
The Legendarys Aretha Franklin and Cissy Houston! Simply AMAZING
Yall are so Messy🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The "guy in the middle" is FONZIE THORNTON....Luther Vandross' best judy!!!
Cissy KNEW there were cameras around....look at her placement, she's BEHIND Aretha and KNOWS she is going to be in EVERY shot!! What you haven't counted on is that QUEEN MUTHA DIDN'T CARE!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This gig was one of those, "I gotta get out of the house and occupy my time....my baby dead...my grand baby dead.....I need to do something"...and then get to the gig and say "Damn, I don't feel this shit anymore."
these two women had more talent in their lifetime than you critics will ever have. at this point they had nothing to prove. R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
Hilarious since both of these men are BRILLIANT singers in their own right but go off! Never realized so few people had a sense of humour!
Yall got me at work in tears
It's Aretha Franklin she could have just been saying doo-wop the bop the bop the bop the whole entire time and people still be up there cheering and clapping she's the queen of soul she earned her spot. love and miss her
I remember watching this and I started cracking up - Cissy reminds me of my grandmother, she had this one friend who we called grandma Cheery, you'd hear her coming from up the road, she be yelling 'Hey lady', and we'd say: nan here comes grandma Cheery. My grandmother would roll her eyes and say, hurry up and put the kettle on you know she be wanting her tea (in a low voice)
While grandma Cheery is sitting there she's talking flat out and my grandmother is sitting there rolling her eyes and making all these weird sighs and groans. In 1998 my grandmother died suddenly at the table while grandma Cherry was there, all we could hear was 'Hey lady! hey lady! - it was so sad.
2-months later grandma Cheery died, but for weeks after my grandmothers death she'd still come to the house and yell 'Hey lady! Now they're together still gossiping up there
Aww that was so sweet ♥️
I just was robbed my account cleaned out and I’m in tears watching this 😂😂😂😂😂😂 laughter is the best medicine
Oh no!!! Are you ok? Did they catch the person?
This performance, will never get old. Lol 😂🤍.
Y'all it's not shade. Funny performances happen to everyone. True performer no one noticed but people that perform. It's inspirational really. The humanity of it is dope. Loved it
There is a measure of respect for The Queen and Miss Cissy (as there should be), but the shade is also clear to see. Keep it a bean.
@@UMVELINQANGI lol I guess I think of shade like negative. It's more like how family is. We just playin. No hate just a little teasing is all
Aretha had cancer, Cissy had alzheimers. Not funny to make fun of anyone here.
@@theTruthSeekerishere no one was making fun of them having either illness. Mad left field comment. The performance itself is funny. I would've laughed it was my grandma and she would've laughed too
Ya'll MESSY for this! 😂😂😂
It is apparent that you are deserving of the QUEEN OF SOUL. I applaud you for such courage in doing so. That's the problem with you gays, you all are always demoted someone or something you can't obviously overcome.
“the dress is hanging on…by a mighty strong prayer..” 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 hollering 🤣 💀
Whitney also have a popular vocalist from gospel and R&b music, or even Mariah had Kelly Price as one of her backup singers, Cissy was also backup singer from Elvis.
This is how the pros do it. LoL. Love Aretha.
That guy in the middle, is definitely excited to be there! 🙌🏿😆
Y'all better put some respect on them legends names
No Whitney had recently passed... If I remember correctly... I was wondering why she was even there cause Whitney had just passed.. But maybe she wanted to keep busy.... Sad😭
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I'm sorry y'all!!! This video right here... your commentary gave me so much life and energy!!! 😆👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😇🥰😍🤩😘 Thank you both, Stevie Mackey & Avery Wilson! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Y'all wrong😂. I was so trying to forget this performance ever happened, but thanks for reminding us. It was hilarious. 🤣
Lol I have been cracking up about this performance for years!!!! Truly one for the books!!!! 😂🤣😂😂😂😩🤣😂
Let’s just hope that when we’re 80 or 90 years old somebody lets us on the stage 😂😂this is so cute and funny at the same time.
You and Avery's commentary had me hollering! Keep doing these reaction videos!
Aretha was an Honorary Aunt .
Darlene Love is Whitney's Godmother..
This takes me back to Got2BReal "Does she not know that I am am sound the birthed the voice?" 🤣🤣🤣
When you're damn Cissy Houston a legend and the mother of THE VOICE. you ain't give a shit about nothin hahah
THIS MADE MY DAY!!🤣🤣🙌🏾THANKS FOR THAT!
Mama Cissy led the Sweet Inspirations back in the day. Sang background for Auntie Ree Ree, Elvis and many others. She’s a legend. This just wasn’t her day. Still love her though.
One of the best singers ever. I loved it. Yes.
“And the dress is hanging on….by a MIGHTY strong thread.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just FYI- your thumbnail for this says "Aretha's mom" not "Whitney's mom" ❤
Omg they said that😊
This is old but if you can watch "Never Enough "as sung by Citizen Queen and break it down that would TOTALLY rock. I would be SO interested to hear your take!
Ok I've had it!! I know you two aren't making fun of Aretha!! Calling her grandma and auntie! That was our Queen of Soul !! Show some RESPECT!!
Guarantee she is an aunt and grandma lol they aint even roast her just whitneys mom calm yo tits
@@Stoney.ajvy22 yes you are so ignorant!!
@@Stoney.ajvy22 Geri does have a point I almost used to want to find this funny but these are people that have worked hard in the business and what we see before our eyes is real life. She could be at the early stages of ahlzeimers or whatever.
I blame whoever allowed this happen
My opinion, is there are limits to what we joke about..
@@Musos-wq1ud ok snowflakes
@@gericorley2181 and you sensitive
this cant be more funny!!!!! guys y'all are amazing
that doggone riff at 7:30 😂
its no big deal, just the millinium pretty-boys getting recognition off the backs of the very people that made it possible for yall to do what yall do. congrats.
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣! This performance cracked me up! Y’all are hilarious. Watermelon only works in choirs🤣🤣🤣, when you are standing behind someone taller than you.
Omg, you two are so nuts!!!!!!
I really needed a good laugh! Thank you.
When I saw this when it aired I was rolling i couldn't laughing I didn't even know when the song changed or when they modulated because Cissy had my hollering with her facial expressions, I was done!
Oh my god you two are a whole trilogy ..jeeeeeezzz😂😂😂
Stevie, you are a trip!!
😂😂😂😂😂 Best vid Ever!!!! Thanks guys love both of you
When I was first watched this performance, first I just couldn't believe that Cissy Houston was really there…. then I just couldn't believe that she WASN'T really there. 😂
Can you please react to all of the performances from The Terrell One Million Show!! I know you were there, but I would love to see you break down all of the performances! 💙
Yessssss
Okay THIS IS what I needed
AND I NEEEED MORE
U HEAR ME?!?!?!?!?!💯
I come back to this video (and your Auntie Patti Where Are My Background Singers video) at least quarterly. 😅😅😅
Absolutely love the comedy of this performance - but what I’d LOOOOVE is to see a video where you react and actually vocally dissect one of Whitney’s great live performances. Explain the details of her greatness! Haha
Agreed. I wish they would review the live performance of "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do" with Gary Houston from 1985. This was stellar-simply stunning. I don't know if many people have gotten a chance to listen, but this was one of the songs she sang, as an opener for Luther Vandross.
Man when this happened I played the video a whole week and hollered every time. 🤣🤣🤣
Shame on you both! Your whole point of this video was to bash and make fun of two legendary singers. No sensible critique, just making fun of them and y'all went on and on! No single mention of how legendary and impactful they've been or what Cissy might have been going through? Calling them "old"? Shame on you, really! You should be ashamed of yourselves!
that is the legendary Fonzie Thornton, luther vandross' best friend. In fact all those women are veteran background singers from the 70s. I find it disrespectful trying to make fun of the great Cissy houston
I giggled the whole video! 😂
"Watermelon, watermelon!!!" Stevie 2:09 I tell you I howled! That's an old church choir trick when you missed rehearsal but got up in the choir anyway.🤣😂🤣😂
To be fair Adele's Rolling In The Deep is from an Aretha Franklin song/sample.
You guys are savage to notice this. 😂 Breaking it down in tiny details..
Hey Stevie Mackey! LOVE THIS! LOVE YOU! LOVE ALL YOU DO! fyi: if someone hasn't already said: the EXCITED BGV in the middle is Luther Vandross' childhood and fellow DIVA-loving peer: the iconic FONZI THORNTON!!!! WONDERFUL CONTRIBUTOR to the INDUSTRY! XOXOXO
This is so good
I’m in tears so funny 🤣
This was absolutely HILARIOUS
I can’t believe y’all spent 11 minutes and 13 seconds ragging on 2 senior citizens
Okay, I’m going to watch All of these, because I’m So TICKLED! LoL💜
I'm dead... u 2 killed that... so many details in this performance. I support the analysis. keep us rollin.😆
What's so funny about this is that my family and I do our commentaries like this all thee time 🤣🤣
I love yall reaction. Just finished watching Patti 🤣🤣🤣
Sharing with everyone I know. Hilarious...."🍉🍉" .. almost as funny as Cissy's expressions 😳. Love the commentary!!! More please!!!!!!
When I tell you I was on the floor laughing with this reaction!! An ICONIQ performance
Look at this point y'all should call the Avery and Stevie's reaction
Cissy has been doing background for Areatha, since before Nippy was born and on many of her records. Don't be disrespectful!
Cissy will always be Cissy, the backbone of Ain’t No Way and also the reason this video is hilarious🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Love these reactions with you and Avery!
Please do more!
Maybe a reaction video to some yebba? IJS!
Didn’t love your reactions to these great ladies of song 🎶,it seems that all you wanted to do was to make fun and criticize and disrespect,is that truly what you want to be known for.I have seen a lot of reactions which was beautiful and you learned from them but with yours all one can learn is how to disrespect great artists once they progress in age,shame on you both/the worst reaction to all time 😮
The lady right next to Cissy Houston is Tawatha, who was the singer in Mtume
You criticised this performance all over the board, so why does this bring you such great joy?
This is Jlo's vocal coach. Shows how effective he is cause she still can't sing to save her life. LOL
Damn … 😂😂
Aretha at the end is classic Aretha, if you watch her live performances from back in the day..... I never saw her get snagged on that mic b4 now 😭😭😭😭😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I swear I thought that when I saw this video!! I hollered though at this analysis!!
I am a friend to the LGBTQ community but I have such low tolerance for the mean-spiritedness, verbalized often as 'reading,' that is regretfully interwoven into the fabric of that culture. It's evil and it's ugly. Cissy Houston and Aretha Franklin are LEGENDS. You two queens with your self-indulgent kee-keeing are nothing more than chihuahuas on the front porch yipping at the Bulldogs who own the block. After you're gone, who is going to even remember you were here? Fifteen minutes passed your relatives laying down the wreaths on your grave and doing the obligatory boo-hooing, they'll be off to the next thing not giving you a second thought. Cissy and Aretha will be remembered - and cherished - for generations to come. They have a stellar track record with nothing to prove to anybody. You have UA-cam videos, making snarky remarks about pioneers who paved the way and made unprecedented contributions to the culture. Joke's on you, funny boys.
