Who's really the Queen?!
Question: Tina is a rock and roll diva, but Aretha is Queen Bee and will not give up her title yet.
There are plenty of divas. But there can only be one queen.
Aretha Franklin has lashed out at well-intentioned comments made by Beyoncé Knowles during the latter's introduction of Tina Turner on the Grammy stage Sunday night. Franklin, 65, says she felt disrepected after Knowles referred to Turner as the Queen, while relegating Franklin to a brief name check in a long list of inspirational singers past, an act apparently tantamount to musical heresy.
"I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyoncé. However, I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy," a clearly offended Franklin said in an unprompted statement issued by her publicist.-------E online.

Latifa?
Ella Fitzgerald.
Yeah, I like Ella, too!
Sounds like Aretha is the only one with a bruised ego who is creating a controversy where one didn't exist. She should be ashamed of herself for such hubris.
DIANNA ROSS, STILL TODAY SHE IS HOT.
I WOULD STILL HAVE WHAT IS LEFT OF HER.
Aretha is a total has-been. She's just clinging to the past, what she thinks is owed her. I don't think she's that amazing personally. She's also about 600lbs. A far cry from what she used to be.
New people on the scene are just as deserving of the title. I think Tina and Beyonce are both fantastic. They're the divas! ;)
Givena choice between the two...I goota go with Tina. She "still" ROCKS!! (Areatha--do I detect a note of jealousey)?
i think Tina Turner is the Queen.
Aretha, Aretha Aretha. Can't we all just get along? For Aretha Franklin to be so insecure about her role in music history is shocking. It is sad that she just couldn't be happy for Tina Turner's return to the spotlight. Meow! I guess this Diva just couldn't help from being catty. Frankly, Aretha should focus on her waistline (and the obvious health risks she is facing) and her obesity problem.
