Sep 4, 2008 - And furthermore, Aretha isn't my favorite female singer, Donna Summer is, and Celine better throw in the towel if she even remotelythinks she is better than Donna Summer!!

Sep 4, 2008 - who the crap cares about having a vh1 concert dedicated to u? seriously how delusional are u? even aretha here was in her 50's, that's when they usually do tribute concerts 4 u. your personal preference for singers is besides the point, but the fact that you claim celine was the worst voice that night is hilarious and proves your bitterness at how she whooped ass. the press/media/ppl across the board noted how well she performed that night. & celine appeared on 3 different divas shows
lsriaoraisro Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - when did celine ever say she was better than anyone? celine is one of the most humble ppl in the biz and she came from a poorass family of 14 kids to becoming an international superstar who sells out stadiums across the globe. whom she marries is none of ur business at least she doesnt weigh 800 pounds and promotes obesity and gluttony.
lsriaoraisro Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - aretha was the one who grew up w/ legends while celine came from poorass humble family. and btw, celine was never trained in soul or gospel & everything she did that night was an ad lib on the spot. as if she performed worse than mariah who barely scatched out a note that night along with gloria estefan and shania twain whom most ppl would never consider to be the greatest vocalists. celine's success and status speaks for itself
lsriaoraisro Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - u know what, i take it all back. it was wrong of me to bash aretha like i did because i do have the greatest respect for her. i should care less what others think about celine. everyone is entitled to their own opinion. ta!
orangeclark Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - Agree, so let's drop it! Aretha is better and that's my opinion!
orangeclark Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - Aretha is known around the world before Celine was born and will be known when Celine's career is washed-up, because she prefers to marry old men and have babies by them before they die! And no I don't wish death on anybody! Let's face it the man remembers the Revolutionary War!
orangeclark Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - The charts say different! Celine is just trying to fit in! Her career is already washed-up!Aretha gets respect all around the world! Just like Celine fans, Celine's music is just a fad!! At least Aretha can move mountains! Her music is pure classic!
orangeclark Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - Get a life dufus! And don't bother me again!I think you're kinda fruity myself! Celine was kinda fruity!

Sep 4, 2008 - she aint shit because i say she is shitshe is shit by herselfit aint matter from whagt point you see aretha is the best,she only loses to grammys to someone's name i forgot (female singers of course)

Sep 4, 2008 - Can anyone upload the whole video of Testimony? Not just the two minutes of the end? It would be funny to see the other divas faces during the ten-minute length of the song sung only by Aretha Franklin. If anyone could add it I would be extremely grateful.
sherwin76502 Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - i would love to see the whole video too. unfortunately, the only part included in the dvd was the last part. so it's a bit absurd to have the whole video here on youtube.
EmpressMahalia Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - Even as a Die-hard Aretha fan, I can readily admit; Aretha was looking to battle vocally....Celine accepted, and they BOTH held fast. For Aretha's age, she held just as much as Celine did....weither you like it or not. I love them both....Celine did VERY well....while the other women were reduced to nothing more than backround vocals.....
Damicroquete Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - And I would love see the 2 Aretha songs that were completely cut.
sherwin76502 Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - me too. sadly, they didn't include it in the dvd & cd. :(

Sep 4, 2008 - CELINE THE QUEEN~!!
MrStyle23 Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - In your dreams!The one and only Queen and Empress of Music Aretha Franklin!
astralotustslm Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - if aretha is a queen then celine is a godess
DEADliyah Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - EXACTLY! Celine blows HENretha fat nasty sounding ass out the water as ALWAYS!
DEADliyah Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - It's the TRUTH fat faggot, HENretha CANNOT sing at all.
chicos0987 Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - ARETHA IS THE BEST!
cinqoctaves Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - Fuck You, you're still so useless.Whatever.Celine and Aretha sounded TERRIFIC that night,I love both,both voices were on fire.Honestly I don't know how you can say who was better than the other.The others were just backup singers here(yes even Mariah Carey!)And Celine did an terrific job when they do the vocal battle.
Damicroquete Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - watch?v=nX65S00fcOU there is a part of the video (the cutted part!)
sherwin76502 Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - oh thanks for the info. :)
orangeclark Says:
Sep 4, 2008 - Celine is trained, Aretha wasn't taught! That's the difference! Aretha, Donna Summer, Dionne Warwick, Gladys Knight are all better singers than Celine. Celine was and still is the worst singer that night. She just can't touch Aretha, or any of the other divas. Afterall, they haven't made a Divas concert for Celine yet and they probably won't! VH1 is just trying to make Celine feel good, because they also know she sucks my big toe. Celine also needs to marry someone her own age!
