Probably wasn't intentional that it sounded as rude as it did, but Aretha just completely overlooked the amazing and poetic songwriting skills of Taylor, now more clear than ever after the two (!) albums she put out last year. Taylor's not famous for her singing, but for her lyricism. Aretha is a one-of-a-kind singer, but she always had men writing the songs for her.

But I'm sure I speak for a lot of other black folks when I say, this is all we know, and is no surprise.

Nah, she just assumed stuff about an artist she doesn't know anything about. Reducing Taylor's whole career to 'beautiful gowns' is such a dismissive, gross and sexist comment. Look, I'm not a huge Taylor fan, I like some of her songs and nothing more, but the girl can sing, write and compose songs, play several instruments, work on the production in studios. Aretha has a right to say those things sure, but were allowed to say that it was impolite and mean of her.

@noncatholiccatholicrat6309

@@ykMMD with peace, love, and respect, please educate yourself on vocal technique and capabilities. Taylor is an objectively (yes there is an objective level to someone's singing capabilities; even though your enjoyment of their tone or delivery is subjective) mediocre. Also, being able to write pop songs that are popular doesn't equal writing good songs. It just means they are on a level of relatability and commercial appeal. She also wasn't impolite, she simply was being nice by not giving her opinion on her.

@@Terelon Shade should feel classy but she came off as insolent, Everybody knows Taylor is the only songwriter popstar and not a vocalist. She could've appreciated her pen.

Looking at all the comments on here I disagree with most. She doesn't seem like a diva at all.. she seems very polite, just blunt but in the classiest of way. She just didn't wanna put on any fronts

Coco ol i agree that Taylor is not that great and Nicki Minaj is not talented at all when it comes to singing but Aretha definitely came off as uninterested and perhaps even a bit annoyed. Sounds like a diva attitude to me... the guy was just asking simple questions and she didn’t even want to answer some of them. That’s her right, I know-she could have gone about it a bit differently if she didn’t want to be labelled a diva however. Either way, she probably wouldn’t have cared what any of us thought and she does deserve the title ‘diva’ in the best sense of the word. RIP Aretha

Aretha loved Judy Garland, and said she was 'A Soul singer with a capital "S".

It is so cool that she mentioned Jennifer Hudson and Audra McDonald by name when discussing casting for the movie about her life, and now they are both starring in it as Aretha herself and her mother!

Watching this interview I am reminded of what a real diva she was. No pretension, no drama, no entourage, no hustle or second agenda just discussing her love for music- Frankly (pun intended!). I love the way she said, "live with a song". Can't imagine the tapestry of my life without her music interwoven among its threads. Rest in power , rest in God's peace, Always.

Probably wasn't intentional that it sounded as rude as it did, but Aretha just completely overlooked the amazing and poetic songwriting skills of Taylor, now more clear than ever after the two (!) albums she put out last year. Taylor's not famous for her singing, but for her lyricism. Aretha is a one-of-a-kind singer, but she always had men writing the songs for her.

Actually, never. I can re-watch and laugh out loud over and over again! It's one of the few videos of Ms Franklin that doesn't make me start to cry. ❤

Greatest singer who ever lived. Every syllable she sang had an emotional authenticity that every singer aspires to achieve. "Natural Woman" and "Think" both amaze me whenever I listen to them.

Don't dare compare any artist to "The" Aretha Franklin...a true pioneer, artist, and musician...able to slip on Gospel, Opera, Soul, Pop, and genre and do it BETTER than anyone...and she plays the piano at a professional level...Don't compare her ..she has her own lane.

She will be missed 😢😢🙌🙌🙌👑👑👑❤❤❤

Aretha Franklin was an elegant woman and I love her authenticity and how she performed. She was a gift to all of us who were inspired by her voice then and now today.

Her thought on Taylor Swift: nice gowns😂

Aretha is smart, she avoids political controversy lol

"I don't even know what auto-tune is" -The Queen of Soul

I'm a white Scottish guy and this human being is/was the finest singer in the world. She's on another planet

Aretha Franklin was the pioneer of all singers, she was a legend indeed, legend of all legends. After her, came artist like The Beatles, Elton john, Micheal jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Celine dion, Mariah Carey and so many more. The artist of 80s and 90s created a major impact in the music industry, sells records by millions. Aretha Franklin set the standard, and the other artist carried on the legacy and records. We should always be grateful of her existence and her soulful voice! :))

Also, “Nicki Minaj, hmmm, I’m gonna pass on that one”. There will never be another Aretha! The only person she truly saw it for in this Interview was Whitney! And rightly so!

These were really silly questions anyway and she was not impressed as she says what is an autotune; they don't reveal their real voices. It is totally different now; anyone can be made into a singer.
