...sad...just sad...-.- I hate beyonce and everything...but still...NOT newsworthy.

i m pretty sure that beyone did not write those words the preople who se up the grammies wrote tat

I think Beyonce is nothing but a gimmic, she is really and alto who's not the best singer. beyonce fools the audience by havinf extrodinary orchestration or backgounds to get the hype. If you want a real singer, then i think you should choose singer and performers like "G" stated earlier. Aretha franklin (quuen of Soul) , Albertina Walker (quuen of gospel), Patti Labelle, Dorthy Norwood, Gladys Knight, Dianna Ross, Chaka Kahn, Anita Baker, Fantasia, Jennifer hudson, Kim Burrel and Yolanda adams Dont be fooled by her father either, he cant sing and dont know what singing is. I must also agree that Aretha was to sing in the inuguration

Ok, now beyonce disrespected the Jackson family as well. Arethat comes from the seed of a great Minister...discernment is everything. Oh, and the Queen is thought highly of our President. While Beyonce is offering her voice. Aretha was invited. Beauty is from the inside. So being a fluzzy designing fluzzy clothes for people especially children will only get you respect with few. Michelle will hopefully never dress the girls in dereon. Beyonce get some class. And be careful of the words you say about others first Aretha now the Jacksons...

beyonce has an over exposed career for nothing i mean she looks no beter than the other girls has a weak voice that is helped by expensive recording studios. i understood beetle mania but this is strange

firstly tina aint sexy age is catching up with her and aretha darling came to the scene in the early 50's tina in the 60's aretha struggled for black freedom in the civil movmnt sista ree also intodruced over dubbing okay said enough no one can sing like and aerent most queens unattractive and bossy

I think that Beyonce shouldn't have used her personal thoughts when annousing that Tina Turner was the queen. Everyone Knows that Aretha Franklin is Queen of Soul and has all the elegance that Beyonce described about Tina Turner. If Tina Turna was suppose to be queen, Then the music industry would have made her queen years ago (Before Beyonce was born). Aretha Franklin is still the queen of soul regardless of what Beyonce says. I bet Beyonce would not stand a chance singing with Patti Labelle, Chaka Kahn, Aretha Franklin, Albertina Walker (queen of gospel), Dorothy Norwood, Gladys Knight, Diana Ross, or any of the legendary singers. In some ways, Beyonce reminds me of Whitney Houston. Don't want to give credit to people that have more fame than them. I also would like to say to those who try to put the blame on aretha, Beyonce has been in the Muisc Industry long enough to know what to say when its comes to the public. But anyway, Mrs franklin showed maturity and excused it.

I think that Beyonce should have stop putting her personal thoughts into it and give credit where crdit is due. Everyone knows Aretha Franklina and Tina Turna. If Tina was suppose to be the queen, then should would have been it years before. Aretha is still the Queen of Soul regardless of what Beyonce says. I bet Beyonce would not stand a chance singing with Patti Labellie, Chaka Kahn, Aretha Franklin, Albertina Walker, Dorothy Norwood, Gladys Knight, Diana Ross, or any of the old singers thats good. In some ways, Beyonce reminds me of Whitney Houston. Don't want to give credit to people that have more fame than them.

Looking at it just from Aretha's statement, it does seem a bit petty. But, i just know that this is another 'black vs. black" bout booked by the press. You just know someone rushed back stage and whispered in Aretha's ear.... The press is just startin s***... and like sheeple, you all buy into it. REAL SAD! All that said, Aretha is a bit too arrogant 4 me. Aretha doesn't work with people, people work with Aretha to hear her tell it- in the case of mary j. blige dueting with her.

Who really cares, someone need to grow up alittle more, as long as beyonce was look mighty fine thats all that matters.

Aretha once again proves that money can't buy you class. She never misses an opportunity to be a vulgar, overbearing, horribly dressed, condescending, vile piece of ghetto trash! The fat b**** needs to be more concerned about her health and stop inhaling the entire all-you-can-eat buffet.

Aretha's undignified behaviour is sad and anything but that of a queen. She clearly couldn't bear being outdone at every level having deluded herself with her own publicity. As for "Love to Beyonce", What's Love Got To Do With It? She should Show Some Respect to Tina, THE Queen. On your knees, Aretha! It's game, set and match.

Oh please now she is paying attention to what someone is saying. No disrespect, but she doesn't seem to hear anyone when they say she needs to stop wearing those capris and bras on stage. I'm sorry but Tina Turner hasn't been getting the honor and props she is entitled to lately. If anyone watches Beyonce's videos, ever since "Work it out" you can clearly see that Tina is her idol. And just because she said Queen, she could've meant queen of anything, at least she didn't say queen of soul. She could've meant queen of survival after all she has been thru with Ike. And Aretha needs to stop dressing so cheap as big and old as she is, and show some class.

Hey folks we forget that Beyonce' was reading from a prompter. It was pre-written for her to say that. She's young and still new in the game so let's weigh it out. Grammy Pay Check vs Arethea. It think B did what was responsible and read what the danged prompter said!!! It's sad that someone almost 70 yrs old is throwing mud over something no one else cared about. Heck, maybe she needs to get to thinking like a queen and get a stylist, a manager that wouldn't let her run off at the mouth like that and a new Public Relations person. No one doubts she's an Icon...but does she come at Mary J Blige for calling HERSELF the queen??? NOPE cause she knows she'd wish she hadn't lol. But life is not that serious. Poor thing, we thought her looking like Big Bird was bad enough, she opened her beak and inserted her claw!!

Hey Aretha, ((((((SMACK!!!!!))))))

I do agree Ms. Queen of So Petty needs to relax, no one is taking anything from her. Tina paved the way and worked hard for what she has accomplished and any women who has been thru and overcome all Tina has deserves to be called a Queen! And anywone who got legs like that at her age is def. a Queen! SO SHUT UP ARETHA

I truly thought Aretha had more koth:) Her maturity level is diminishing, but unfortunately not her weight, which is her business. But, as a Christian(which she claims to be). I don't think God will think much of her earthly title, if it did not win souls to His love

Bee, just send Aretha a steak, quadruple hamburger patty, 14 twinkies and 2 apple candys on a stick as a peace offering and I'm sure all will be forgiven!

I love Aretha, but Beyonce if I were you I wouldn't even comment on Aretha's remark. I never knew she gets so offended. Aretha you just need to concentrate on eathing healthy and losing weight so you can REMAIN the queen of soul. And Tina..You look wonderful, you Black Queen!

she is fat azz hell she need to loose some weight

one more thing...we all know (i HOPE) that urethra stanklin was not the original queen of soul....etta james was when her and ruth brown used to battle it out....when is urethra gonna relinquish the title to someone else...her voice is shot, she is detroit tacky and she always looks a mess...can we say retire and relinquish... Hell Gladys, Chaka, Natalie (hypocrite), Patti and even Jennifer Holliday could all step into the picture...they all STILL have great voices....and Patti and Gladys are only a couple of years younger than Aretha and they are holding it DOWN...last time I saw Gladys knight she put a HURTING on the audience...

I could see her point if it weren't true or if she never even gave props to aretha, but dang...let's keep it real...Urethra Stanklin is nobody's glam queen...she ain't all that classy and she doesn't have the moves that Tina has....so when talking about the elements that many of the women brought to the stage...Tina DOES have those elements-STILL. Ms. Stanklin is...well, was...a great singer....an amazingly gifted singer....but that was IT...hence her title of the queen of soul...

Beyonce Messed up when she said, "But there is one who combines all the elements fo the others"...its IMPLIED Tina had something the other ladies did not, Which is not true!.... THAT is where Aretha got pissed, i believe......and u know what? I see her point!

HEY , BEYONCE DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING NEGATIVE IF SHE WAS UP THERE WITH YOU SHE WOULD HAVE SAID THE SAME THING.THAT WAS ONE OF HER DREAMS THAT CAME TRUE MAYBE ONE OF THE OTHERS IS WITH YOU . DON'T DO THAT ARETHA. LISTENING TO BEYONCE IN INTERVIEWS AND LISTENING TO HER SPEAK SHE ACTUALLY LOOKS UP TO ALL OF YOU THAT CAME BEFORE HER.BUT ON THE REAL WE ARE ALL QUEENS. SO SHE REALLY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING WRONG, THINK ABOUT.BEYONCE'S A BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT BELIEVE ME SHE DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING NEGATIVE. ARETHA ,TINA AND BEYONCE I LOVE YOU ALL. MOST IMPORTANT GOD LOVES YOU. KEEP THE PEACE AND ALWAYS SHOW LOVE.

Some of these celebrities need to leave their egos at home. This is so not news worthy.

Ok, how petty is this?? Aretha you supposed to be old enough to overlook s*** like this. Sad I tell you, just sad.

are you F'ING Serious... i am so tired of aretha's and her damn mouth. She needs to check her history books...she ain't the only queen in music...Tina has been called the Queen of ROck for years!...how dare she try to take anything away from her and her success...Tina is holding up as a performer much better than that wailing sow of a mess

aretha=big fat sloppy pig who needs to just STFU.

Miss Franklin knock it off honey! Miss Beyonce didn't mean anything by that, everyone knows who you are and everyone knows that you are the Queen of Soul!

You guys are right, Beyonce meant no disrespect.
