>>She’s Aretha. She can wear anything she damn well pleases!
You got that right! Royalty deserves RESPECT!<<

Thank you!!! I might have picked a different dress, but the more that people make fun of her weight, the more she will stay hidden.

We deserve to see her.

>>What’s wrong? I see a great singer singing....<<

Sometimes FReepers can be so crass.
I’ll never forget when Nell Carter died. Half the thread turned into fat jokes.

It was disgusting.

But on another thread, folks snark about “no one has the right not to be offended”.

If ya don’t like the way someone looks, deal with it! According to some, the majority of the human race should never leave theThat’s life. Aretha is alive and still singing. That’s a blessing.

Is that Heart? Does Nancy take all of Anne’s food? (Or did I mix up which was which?)

But, but, it’s much more fun to make snipe at her looks. /s/

Your tagline works here.

I have to leave this thread. It’s just too DU for my taste.

- The great Aretha Franklin belts one out for audience at the 2008 Grammy Awards”...

She is a wonderfully talented singer.

How embarrasing for you that you see her weight first.

I saw Aretha in concert three years ago. Looking at this picture, she hasn’t grown any since then. But the lady’s got pipes that put Beyonce or Amy Winehouse to shame! You Go, (Big) Girl!

She’s 65. She outlived Jim Fixx.

LOL, how true. There's something to be said for living your life and not being obsessed over exercise and such.

You realize the obsession and remarks about Nancy’s weight is one of the reasons they stopped performing for a long long time.

I mean, why should she put herself through the crap? So people got what they deserved, a bunch of talentless twits who ‘look’ pretty but can’t sing worth a dang.

Excellent. What a voice.

Here's Ann explaining who they are, from Canada, etc.
