I agree! When she first debuted the husky voice in 1983 I wasn't wasn't really feeling it. But looking back this was amazing. I was so use to her crystal clear voice in the 60's and 70's. Sh can sing anything!
Whitneyfan 90 she was able to adapt and vocally evolve with her voice which, for me is why she’s the greatest vocalist of all time. She could sing all the way til she passed.
@@mandm471 Queen had the vocal and musical intelligence to be able to adapt. It's just like Sarah Vaughan's who's voice changed mostly do to smoking like Queen.
Wow, the unmatched talent on this stage!! The top 3 artists I had promised myself, back in the day, I would see before they passed away was, A.F., J.B., and M.J. I had the privileges of seeing James Brown live in the early seventies and Michael Jackson (in the eighties, many times), when they b0th were in their prime (the best shows I have ever seen live). But sadly :-((( I never got to see Aretha Franklin live, except on TV. Oh well, at least I kept my promised to myself about two of them
I LOVE this song! Whitney's version especially... it just does something for me. Whitney knew how to take a song and find a whole other meaning to it that you didnt even know was there. Both women can sing their asses off tho
Why are you on an Aretha Franklin video mentioning Whitney White Girl Houston? Whitney couldn't touch anything the queen ever sang. You must be sniffing the same thing Whitney did when she was alive.
Sometimes phlegm comes up from the throat and makes you cough. She coughed to clear her throat and kept on singing. I've seen her do this many times before. As the song says, "A woman's only human..."
Subwoof Xl You are correct. She always needs to do that.. I'm often surprised that singers don't need to do it more often.. Patti plays it off well I think. I've noticed that Patti clears her throat while smiling.
Hmmm! I have the greatest respect for the Queen, but gosh, when I contrast this with the Flying Burrito Brothers' version, the latter sounds less overwrought, and therefore more genuine in its emotions. Aretha SO oversings it I can't hear the damned melody. I want a song, not a clever vocal acrobatic act. Here come the flames...
eight years later and you finally get a response... but No flames. Aretha had smoked too much for far too long. This is the sad result; he voice deteriorated drastically and, therefore, she tried to compensate with vocal acrobatics. 🤕🤕 This is the only time i seen her not only struggle to sing while performing but also fail to get an apllause from the audience.... well... it's time to go watch some earlier days videos of her from the sixties and seventies.
I miss Queen so much. There is a lot of talent out there, but no one can hit me in the soul the way that she did and still does.
I feel the same!
Aretha's voice always makes me high!!!! What a voice!!!😍
Aretha's smokey husky voice at it's best here! This woman can sing anything!

no... her singing qualities had dimished due to that incessant harsh maga snoking for so many years...
Aretha could do no wrong! This is by far my favorite version of this song! Especially towards the end! Husky voice and all! 😭🙌🏿❤❤❤

there are a lot of female performers that can sing; but Re Re is the Queen and she can sang!
ARETHA IS ONE IN A MILLION...
So y’all gonna act like y’all didn’t hear the band immediately switch to James intro? Peep 👀 the vibes. He was smooth fa that one ☝🏾😂💪🏾❤️

Stapleton,Ga. Loves the Queen!
Perfect 💖

You Go Girlfriend!
excellent do right ladies
Aretha... (James said this was a man's world(hand on hip) END OF THE GAME 🤣
Your point is well taken, but great soul singer like Aretha franklinis never a SLAVE to the melody! It's part of her artistry.
I do believe he had her mic turned down, lol.
Voice smoky voice but still with her skyrocketing high belts.
"Sang Re"
Hell Yes!!!!
the king and queen dancing...history made right there...where was this performance at?
James was all over the Queen! Lol 😂
SONG ARETHA
It was filmed in Detroit in a club that Aretha co-owned.. I can't remember the name of the club though...
Club Taboo

I'll pass on Whitney singing anything that Queen already put her stamp on.

So cringe. Enjoy the music and stop being a insinuative, racist b¡tch.
@@columboscandela Take your thumb out of your ass and go cry elsewhere, dummy. Like go find something to slob on
The thrill of 'live' notwithstanding, the studio version is far superior.

According to the producer of the show, James had Aretha's mic turned down that night because he did'nt want Aretha to upstage him.
I read that also. I didn't believe it because of how well they performed together and James seem to love when Aretha hit those squalls.
Aretha is always stellar but what did James say in the beginning? Lol
1:39 wat happen to her voice

HarlydarvySenior well you know she smoked during this time of her career so. Voice was still amazing though.
You are right, See Stan. I love this era best. I don't know why..
Her voice had deteriorated during this point due to her smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day! But she still sounded pretty damn good here.
