suzie Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Have you heard of Beyoncé calling Tina Turner 'the Queen' with Aretha Franklin sitting in the audience at this year's Grammy's??? Here is the video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=8BTwHMD42SA here is Aretha Frankin's song for which she won her (20th) Grammy this year: http://youtube.com/watch?v=nV5XPWdWvZo ... and I also added a poll on this. here is the article: (link: http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080212/ENT04/80212060/1035/ENT) Aretha reminds Beyonce she still reigns as 'Queen' Franklin says Grammy snub a "cheap shot for controversy" February 12, 2008 By BRIAN McCOLLUM (FREE PRESS POP MUSIC CRITIC) Aretha Franklin would like you to know there’s only one queen in this music kingdom. Young pop star Beyonce had raised a few eyebrows during Sunday night’s Grammy Awards, reciting a seemingly scripted line that introduced music legend Tina Turner as “the queen.” That designation apparently didn’t sit well with Franklin, who was in the audience Sunday at Los Angeles’ Staples Center. The Detroit star, long known as the Queen of Soul, pulled rank Tuesday afternoon in a statement released to the Free Press. “I am not sure whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyonce,” the statement read. “However I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy. “In addition to that, I thank the Grammys and the voting academy for my 20th Grammy and love to Beyonce anyway.” Franklin was awarded with the best gospel performance award for “Never Gonna Break My Faith,” her duet with Mary J. Blige. Beyonce may have a couple lines of defense: Turner has been loosely nicknamed “the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll” through her lengthy career, even releasing a 1984 concert film of the same name. And in 1975, she turned in a memorable performance in the Who’s musical film “Tommy,” where she played the role of the Acid Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
