Greetings to Linor Oren from Russia! I met your channel while watching the reactions to the compositions of the Queen band. I would very much like to see on your channel the reaction and analysis of the vocal of the Russian singer (who lived for several years in the USA) Nargiz Zakirova with the composition scorpions - still loving you. This is the worldwide popular Voice transmission, only in Russia. Thank you for your work, and forgive me for my bad English. ruclips.net/video/KouEZWqY45o/видео.html
Pls react to DIMASH live performance.

She was also battling cancer at this time. RIP legend.
😲
A young Aretha's voice was sharper and brighter, as she matured it got smoother and richer like a fine wine.
Carole King was that excited because she co-wrote it with her then-husband for Aretha Franklin - and Aretha is singing her own song to her on her tribute concert. That makes it very special and very personal for Carole King. It's not about the piano, it's about that very song.
It doesn’t make Carole any less annoying during the performance though....
@@DawnWCUE Dude, she has any right to be as annoying as she wants to be. That was an effing tribute concert to her, with heavy hitters like Aretha Franklin paying tribute to her. With the Obamas attending. I'll tell you what. Once there's a tribute concert to internet dipshits you've earned the right to be as annyoing as you want to be. For now, though, get fucked.
Yes, I remember this as well. It was Carole King's song. Carole King is a LEGEND and she can be as "annoying" as she wants.
I lived Carol’s reaction, I have watched this dozens of times! Epic! Yes, Kennedy Center Honors and Carol King was one of the people being honored on that night. I mean wow, EPIC!
@@mistybloodworth8414 I think she was adorable. She was in the industry for nearly 60(!) years at that point. The most successful female songwriter with well over 100 hits in the US - and yet she's not jaded at all but emotionally invested in all of this. Yet she is completely blown away when Aretha Franklin sings this song that Carole herself has written. I wish more people had that attitude. Oh, well, and empathy.
Carole King is excited because she wrote this song for Aretha and Aretha is now giving it back, singing it for Carole. Also, because Aretha is playing the piano. It was both. I remember seeing this at the time. Plus I'm old and grew up with these 2 amazing artists in that time and was very involved music back then. This was truly a great performance and event, especially for Carole.
And, she had pancreatic cancer, too.
Plus, she is in her 70s, and a lot singers lose their by then. She proved by first phase, she still had it
So so very true
Right. These girls are not picking up on the fact that Carol wrote this and having Aretha giving it back to her is freaking EPIC!!!!!
All artists are a surprise that evening. This was a signature song for Carole King & Gerry Goffin and after they gave it to Aretha it is said that it was never theirs again. Aretha made it her own. At this point Aretha was 73 and her health had been questionable for years. She played the piano very rarely in public and her performance schedule was also limited due to age and illness. What you witnessed was the culmination of 51 years of artistry on all levels. A song written by 2 Jewish people, lyrics by a MAN about a woman...mix it with one of the great vocal artists of all time...add ALL her soul and present it to the world. Aretha was born into a world where a person of color wouldn't be allowed on that stage...now she sings for other artists, politicians and the first African American President. Everyone in that room stood up....not only for her artistry but for the mix of ALL that history, known and unknown. What you watched was perfection!
This is my favorite version of this song. Aretha was battling cancer and in her '70s and yet she still put on an absolutely fantastic performance. I cried the first time I watched it.
Aretha was literally ranked the greatest singer of all time. Freddie Mercury was a major fan of hers.
Her voice was so powerful and unmatched.
I always cackle when i listen to freddi sing, because it is OBVIOUS that he adores Aretha so much.
You just don’t have artists like this anymore. Performed for decades been in and out of media for good and bad. But when it’s time to execute, certain legends always show up
In a long-ago interview with Barbra Streisand, a star-struck journalist said, “You have the greatest voice for popular music!” Streisand replied, “Aretha is at the top of that list.”
Aretha was simply beautiful and sung with grace and power at the age of 73!!!?Phenomenal !!❤️❤️🎤 Queen of Soul !! ❤🕊️
Like ya reactions!!
I agree with other commentors. I think Aretha was a surprise at the end for Carol. That's why she was beside herself with amazement and delight. So cool that you chose this wonderful performance.
And, yes, we sure miss the Obamas! :)
Aretha was 75 there, and the cancer has already taken away a lot from her, but she held strong and tough till the end.....that's what made her special
She was 73, as she died at 76.
This is the kind of performance you just watch, listen and enjoy the moment. Words cannot express.
I believe Carroll was reacting to the fact that Aretha still at that age has a tone of voice no one else will ever have. She turned around and said, “She’s still got it!” RIP Aretha!
I think so 2
And that she’s playing the piano for her. In her later days in her career she only played the piano for special occasions and that was one of them. #RIPQUEENARETHA
@@gqg741 Actually she has two consecutives reactions. The first seems to be linked to Aretha playing the piano, and the second one much bigger reaction was right when Aretha started to sing. So I would go for the piano "theory" and the voice "theory"
When you are that age and your voice is still so stunningly good, you should be shocked!
That is due to a relatively quiet life with no drugs and drinking, drama just being a natural, blessed woman ❤️❤️ She truly aged with grace!
The young Aretha was incomparable. When Aretha started out from the time she was a youngster singing gospel she played and accompanied herself on piano. I'm surprised you didn't know Aretha's version was the first recorded version. Trust Aretha, even during one her last performances, to still take you to church.
Carol and her then husband wrote the song for Aretha who recorded and released it in 1967.
Just what I was gonna say. Carol King co write the song the Aretha Franklin is singing.
Aretha Franklin is a legend, Carole writing it and Aretha making it iconic. That why she was exited.
I think she didnt know she was coming.
Carole King wrote the song and was being honored and Aretha stepped up with one of her last performances with this gem.
Aretha’s voice changed a lot over the years but I love the fact she was able to adjust to her new sound. Love her! This performance was probably the best she had sounded since the late 90’s. Young Aretha was untouchable! She and Whitney are the best.
@Kay A I agree
I'm 4 years late, but Aretha was actually a very talented piano player but had stopped playing piano during her shows because of age and pain in her hands. Carol King knew that, and the fact that Aretha was going to play for this performance was a show of respect.
Aretha, what else is there to say .Goosebumps, chills, and this was just a couple of years before she passed away. Love :)
I love watching someone enjoying Aretha's performance as much as you do.
She can't be topped.
Watching Linor's reaction change from mild interest to MIND BLOWN is hilarious! That's exactly how this performance affected me, and I love watching you two discuss it. :)
I think the reason Carol. King is freaking out is because she is the one being honoured. Aretha might have been a surprise.
Kelly Hudson....Carol King was a histrionic embarassment. She so needed to be told to shut the fuck up.
2eleven48 what?
The honorees have no idea who will come out to honor them or what they might sing. So on top of that, it's Aretha!!
Carol King Wrote "Natural Woman" for Aretha
@@2eleven48 Funny I was about the write the same exact thing you wrote but on your beeing the subject of it. Word for word. Thanks for sparing me the typing...
I loved to see this! :) Over and over I go back to this video of Aretha just to get the chills! :) Glad you chose it and it was a lot of fun to watch you 3 girls. A lot of good energy reaching me here! :)
Aretha Franklin, Queen of the world 🐱👤
Aretha is an incredible pianists she played it often. Every genre in music has transitioned with Aretha’s impact.
You should hear Aretha sing nessum dorma live 1998 Emmys
I like how she make subtle changes to the song in the tone of the verses & still make it sound great.
Eyes can see beauty on the outside, it takes ones ear's to hear what is on the inside.... But to have both working is awesome..
I've been around for a long long time, so I was there, in my twenties, when Aretha first came into popularity. This was a whole new way of singing, what with the gospel background and early R&B. Now I watch her here (when she was becoming quite poorly) and believe that she has stripped her voice right down to the fundamentals of what make her great. Thrilling, sublime.
Carol King was so shocked, she is the writer of the song and was amazed Aretha starting to play the piano as well
Do your research! ARETHA FRANKLIN has ALWAYS played the piano!!
Yes, very true, but Aretha did not play the piano much in the Arista years, not like during the Atlantic years. When Keith Richard wanted her to play piano for Jumpin' Jack Flash in 1986, Aretha agreed, but she also told him she hadn't done that in years. At Atlantic, almost all of her hits had her playing the piano. At Arista, there were albums with no piano from Ms. Franklin. However, any time she played, it was always special.
@@sashineb.2114 True
Carole King wrote the song and Aretha made it a huge hit
Carole was that excited because she was the one who wrote this song and it became popular on Aretha's voice.
She and Jimmy Hendrix were Freddie Mercury’s idols ❤️❤️
Good to know!!!
She didn't learn It for this show, she had a huge hit with it in the late 60s, hers was the definitive version
She was raised singing in church. Her father was the preacher. Amazing!!! Always have been in love with her
this was lovely to watch
Ms. Franklin here was already sick with cancer, undergoing treatments. But made an appearance to honor her dear friend Ms. Carole King. Carole wrote the song Natural Woman, and even took a stab at it, but it didn't have the same success when Aretha recorded it, making it one of her signature songs.
The lady at the beginning Carole King wrote the song that Aretha made a big hit and she was surprised that she was there and that she was singing that song. Aretha played the piano often and was pretty good at it.
I just fell in love with ALL these THREE ladies...
Wow, you girls make me love you so much. I just can't take the way you interact talk about things, I think I'm in love but I just don't know who to pick :-) but seriously, just love the crap out of you both, and the way you interact and dig deep into what really means something. Nostalgia, feelings, it's just so meaningful. just wish you did more reactions, love you girls, big hugs..and by the way you girls are just a barrel of laughs, it's just awesome..
Could u do whitney houston all the man that I need live for the troops it's a master class in signing by greatest female voice ever
It was SPECTACULAR
She could have just sent her mink coat out to sit at piano and gotten a standing ovation.
I’ve watched this entire concert and Aretha sold her music to another generation that night.
The answer to all of your questions is very simple. Aretha Franklin was the Queen of Soul and the original (and not replaceable) Diva.
I think Carole didn't know Aretha was performing, this series of tributes were amazing. I'd recommend Gregory Porter singing Sting's "Is probably me".
Every time I see Nani I am stunned at how beautiful she is....
Miss Linor, , Love your Reaction Videos! ! !
The reason that Carole is shocked is that despite nearly dying just a month or so earlier, Aretha could still sing with that much strength.
Carole King wrote this song: "YOU Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman" . Aretha Franklin sang it. Amazing!

Carole King was being Honored that night for her work courtesy of The Kennedy Center Honors created by The Kennedy Family that Caroline Kennedy (President Kennedy's Daughter) was MC of for many years. She was one of the first successful Songwriters who was Female next to Ellie Greenwich (RIP). She wrote a veritable list of hits from 1959-1964 before the British Invasion. She made her Bones in The Legendary Brill Building where she worked with the Cream of The Crop that produced more Girlbands than even Motown. Her songs have been sung by Little Eva, The Chiffons, The Shirelles, The Drifters and that's the tip of the iceburg.. In the 1970's she released her own Album Tapestry that became one of the biggest Albums by A Female Artist. In future years her songs were covered by Grand Funk Railroad, Kylie Minogue, and featured on The Wonder Years. In her own way she would kick the door open for Diane Warren who is now the Biggest Female Songwriter of This Generation.
your reactions are something else …
Well said ladies!
Carole was shocked Aretha was performing - it was a surprise. And that Aretha was playing the piano, and flawlessly so. Aretha was a prodigy on the piano growing up but rarely played the latter half of her career. Aretha was also famously ill at this time though she never let on publicly though sources would leak regarding her cancer and the public could see her weight loss. Everyone knew this was probably her swan song performance. It was a special occasion.
Aretha was a gospel singer who sang secular music. If you listen to gospel you will notice that they break up words and phrases differently than other singers to but emphasis on emotion and create atmosphere. It's all about emotion, musicality and the message with gospel singers, not technique.
She was shock cause she had cancer and near death and the doctors told her no more performing!! Her response was to the doctor, "hold my coat while I kill this".
Ha ha, you're so funny...! I love the way you try to make some technicall coments, but your emotions are stronger and beat you. Ha ha ;)
Carol King is excited because she's the song writer to "Natural Woman". That was a honor for the Queen of Soul sang the song that made her popular in her way. And Aretha Franklin was having health issues. She is also a expert on the piano.Check out her gospel live videos.
there is a 13 year old young girl from norway who creative each coversongs to her own. she loves aretha franklin songs. also she has done original songs too. her name is angelina jorden the new princess of jazz!
Carole King was amazed about Aretha singing because Aretha was sick with cancer! This was amazing to be able to sing at all!

My online comment is PURE ENERGY AND SENSE OF THE FORM
You guys need to also see Celine Dion at the Grammy salutes Aretha concert. IMO it had the same effect you guys are speaking of.
Carole King wrote the song A Natural Woman for Aretha. Aretha and her sister grew up in the church and sang background for her.
"That's how it's done."
Hello Linor great reaction love you
Aretha and Patti... the best Singers of all time
MAGNIFICENT
I loved your reaction ladies
A Woman's Woman.
She shaped a lot of Women and Men.
On ya Ladies So Good!!!!
Carole was rightfully having a “Soulgasm!” And why not? She wrote the song, the gala was a tribute to Carole, and she was very excited to have a legend sing brilliantly for her.
Legendary ❤️
In 1998 Pavarotti got sick-and with basically no notice-Aretha filled in.
For Pararotti. With one listen of his orchestra practice of “Nessun dorma". I’ve heard her do covers of others where you can’t listen to the original after she performed it-saw her live three times and nothing was ever the same-always different and wonderful.
The other person I love listening to-Ella Fitzgerald and no one ever brings her amazing voice/range/tone.
Please react to Diana Ankudinova - Wicked Game - ruclips.net/video/2SreYpQI_J8/видео.html - She was 15 y.o. (16 y.o. now). She is a true contralto. She is a russian national treasure. I really would like to hear the opinions of opera experts.
Carol King wrote the song .. But it was that a 73 yr old Queen could still belt this song like a her younger self.
Carol wrote it and was amazed she was doing the one she made a hit so many years ago. Carol did her own version but loved the gospel take on it
Carol king wrote the song for Aretha Franklin and the it gained such status she covered it again but they both play piano in their performances an No neither of them ever stepped away from the keyboard. Carol is always excited when Aretha tributes her and Aretha was suffering from cancer at this time, I think throat cancer, so that why Carol was so excited and appreciative
It would be awesome to have even more soul singers reactions! Aretha is among the best!!
Also, I know you already have 3 reactions to Dimash, but I think this young man is a pioneer and deserves all the attention he can get. So, I would like to also recommend you reacting to his recent performance of Ogni Pietra. This song was written especially for Dimash's voice for the opening ceremony of 2019's European Games in Minsk. I don't want to spoil anything, but I just want to say that the song's genre is more than a perfect fit for you to react. It's a very special song, it's not just another "pop hit".
If you decide to go for it, make sure you find a version with good sound, because many versions of the song have mediocre recording from fans' phones etc.
Thanks to you and Nani for the Aretha reaction! It was great!!
Diana Ankudinova - «Реченька» - (14 y.o.) ruclips.net/video/35Dwo4QVLqs/видео.html@
Maybe an opera song Exercises in free love(Freddie Mercury). Can be great to see you both listening to it:) greetings from Italy!
I love your channel and I love you too!, I have a question: haven't you had problems with copyrights? I follow another channel about music, singers, groups and they keep clear to followers that they cannot play more than ten seconds or so of music to avoid penalties because of copyrights.
Keep working so good!.
Hi, thank you for asking. We never had problems, and I make sure to pause at least every 20 seconds, I understand that this is the rule. Hope I'm right :D This time was an exception, I was just so overtaken I froze and didn't pause! Let's hope it will be alright
@@linororen Thank you!
This is obviously more about sentiment than a study of a legendary voice. I could see that all the hoopla frustrated Linor a little bit in the beginning, because she was initially pointing her laser at Franklin's voice only.
In before all the Nightwish requests
Well the late great Freddie Mercury loved her and if he could’ve been her he would’ve been Aretha Franklin which says it all!😍
Great video
(warning : 2 wineglasses into the night) : Difficult not to fall in love after this video. With all of you ... (aretha, you angel). Nice to see the connection between the 2 of you too. Linor ... you fox ! Damn
Edit : spelling is hard when not sober
Linor, please react to Dimash singing Ogni Pietra from Arnau concert you will love it
From famcam, its awesome, Dimash sing in classical opera ruclips.net/video/8k1AHMxq-0g/видео.html
Perhaps the best quality version is in Igor Krutoy's channel
ruclips.net/video/dkPS6t84qg4/видео.html
Looking forward to it...
👍👍👍👍👍
Love Noam!!
No comment jaw dropped 😲 iconic
She was excited because carol king wrote the song
I love you and your giftedness and your reactions. Please do a video reacting to David Phelps performing Nessun Dorma? 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It made our president at that time cry as well. It's a beautiful moment.
Try to listen Diana Ankudinova."Wicked game" or "Human". Yang girl (now 16) with low range voice.
Sorry for my english.
comment only.....this is a sublime moment with Aretha Franklin. Who gives a fuck about anyone else?
Love u 2 gals 2gether
Linor I know everyone would love to see you react to “Alice in chains”any one of their live songs. Layne Staley was one of the most haunting voices of a time. If you wanna hear the most vulnerable and raw emotional singer. Layne is certainly the one. Even when he was broken mentally, he still hit notes and pitches out of this world.
Could you do a reaction to Steve Perry, when he was with Journey. When you love a woman. Thank you
Carol king actually made the song natural women but Aretha Franklin song the song witch made her song famous
I’d love to hear your opinion of her Nessun Dorma
You should react to the Righteous Brothers doing "You've lost that loving feeling" and "Unchained Melody".
