Aretha has been in the music industry before the parents of adele had met but what caused me admiration is that rather adele admiring aretha is the other way around.
Aretha sang the heck out of this song and did a fantastic job. At 70 something, she could still out sing all the younger singers. Praise to you Aretha. This is the first time I have heard this song by the Queen .
Its human nature ro compare and weigh our options. That way we surpass mediocrity. We get better and better. Aretha was scale we use to measure by back in the day.The scale will never balance it self for to long, thus the need to compare and get better!
I like this version better people can't enjoy music without making it competitive, Aretha was an Awesome singer and in her 70's she still did and excellent cover.
@@staceyparker9951 I totally agree. I love Adele but her interpretation of this particular song is quite flat in comparison with the creativity of Aretha.
how? She never was a Christian! She had MANY sins of envy, anger, hatred of other famous female singers, fornication, abortion (murder), gluttony, greed, etc. Now in hades sadly.....
The doctor didn't come for the perfect like you Eric. I'm sorry you don't get it but I hope you do. Forgiveness is for those who need it but maybe not for the self -righteous. She had a baby when she was 13. I wonder what was going on in her life and who was hurting her. Read her bio & see if you can find some compassion in your judgemental heart. Get back to me after.
I'm sure Adele could think of no higher honor that have Aretha Franklin singing her song and really enjoying belting it out in grand style--a mutual thrill of two great artists.
Damn, what an honor for every Diva Aretha paid tribute to. So many singers called her an inspo. To know that she saw these people as greats too is just incredible.
Aretha and Adele are both great. We don't need to compare them, just respect their music, 'cause they are giants in music. All my respect for Aretha, great cover version. Congrats to Adele who have a song sung by the legend Aretha Franklin, as an Adele's fan, I am so honored.
The Queen was voted the greatest female vocalist by Rolling Stone. Adele is great man. But there is only one queen. She never lost a thing in her voice right up to the age of 76 years old. That is all I have to say about that.
Oh my God ! Can't believe it's all the first time I'm hearing this version 😍. I can just imagine how she would have made it a hit had she sung it back in the day. And here she's already past her 70s. People, give her the credit she deserves.
This woman has been suffering with cancer for years and still this queen sings and kept singing and kept singing and I commend her for her strength rest in peace Queen👑
Aretha died the day my oldest daughter was born. I sat in the hospital and listened to her whole catalog. The bittersweetness of gain and loss was such an emotional hurricane.
Excellent version by Aretha. Very soulful, with a gospel feeling. Very good at the end. The high notes. Aretha we miss you and we love you, Queen of Soul!😍
RIP Ms. Franklin.. Ms. Franklin cannot do any wrong to any song ....artists should be grateful and honored that Ms. Franklin would grace her voice using their song(s).
I heard this version on the radio in my city, in Brazil. I didn't know it was Aretha, and I was totally amazed by the interpretation! It changed the way I listened to this song!
Thanks for your kind words! Aretha Franklin was, without a doubt, a music legend who left an indelible legacy on the world. Happy heavenly 81st birthday to the Queen of Soul! Her powerful voice and unmatched talent will continue to inspire entire generations.
Let's not underestimate Adele. Her music has a lot of soul in it, and she is a hell of a singer as well. The fact that Aretha chose thing song speaks for itself.
Aretha paid tribute to Adele. What an honor. Aretha doesn't have to pay tribute to the young ones so what does it say about her? This is pay it forward, indeed. It's all about growing the music, cultivating it to make sure future generations keep the music alive. (It also keeps Aretha young and relevant, so what.) I bow my head to you Ms. Aretha. Stay Blessed.
Keeping Soul alive, and tipping her hat to the young people working to make it happen. To me, it feels like her way of passing the baton on. What a legend!
Pam, Were you watching when Aretha sang an opera aria for Luciano Pavarotta years ago on the Grammy's when Luciano came down with laryngitis? No one at the time was aware of her range but only knew her as a pop singer and Queen of Soul. However, her vocal depth was so incredible that when they announced her the audience gasped and as she began and sang with such clarity and perfection she got a standing ovation at the end of the performance. She was absolutely amazing. Since then, she's added more such vocals to her repertoire. She truly is Amazing.
We all know in truth that her voice is not what is used to be. But for a 73 year old she surely rocked this tune. Bravo sister Aretha.....you are greatly loved and respected as one of the best who ever approached the mic.
Show some respect. People forget how this lady sang back in her days, If Aretha is age of Adele.. well she would blow Adele off the stage with one note. Its not great but at some points she belt her soul out as only The Queen of Soul can. Those belts on the end are amazing.:)
Now she just a saggy old rag with no style, no musical talent, and is just plain ignorant for doing such deplorable renditions of great artists...so uh, Squeeze me!
I don't know how many people are aware of the musical training that musicians used to have. Starting in the 80's, with synthesized music, I think it is safe to say that the level of musicianship and musical training of many many popular bands and singers since is significantly lower than their predecessors. But even without there simply was less actual classical study.
Rolling Stone magazine named her the best singer of all time. Not just the best FEMALE singer, but the best singer ... period. In her prime she was absolutely amazing. Still not bad for a 72 year old who has smoked heavily, battled weight issues, and used her vocal chords to belt it out for many decades!
The queen of soul!!! She is loved… what people don’t understand is her music influence so many other…if she was to sing your song, that means you’re doing something right…
Her voice is "overthrown" because of age, but she still manages to push the music of so aggressively that can give me more excitement hearing than listening to Adele and her 20 short years. If Aretha had 35 years old she would put a big Adele on the floor. ' The Aretha is a vocal storm!
First time hearing Areatha's version it sounds great also can't compare it to Adele's two different styles. Respect to the both ladies. RIP Queen of Soul
I'm new to RUclips. I only subscribed to this channel about a month before her passing. So sad. So young. A tremendous talent that was taken away from us far too soon. God had a plan for her which was to touch so many hearts and souls through the years with her passionate beautiful music.
Juan Gonzalez She hit it quite a few times. :o 1:51, 1:58, 2:16, 2:53, 3:06, 3:21, 3:55 Those are all the instances that I can hear. Hope this helps. :D
Ok, I just heard this on Spotify for the very first time and had to look it up here. I just found tears in my eyes listening to her powerful, blessed voice, Gotta LOVE Aretha Franklin.
70 year old grandma singing harder than most of today's top singers. Gotta love the unique take, she's not trying to repeat all the same tones as the original, she's doing her thing and i personally enjoy her version even more than the original.
Rest in Peace Queeen, I loved this version, she put soul her soul iinto this song and you feel it!!! very rare thing to do these days, regardless of autotune or anything else. She was doing what great artist and People do- showing the younger generation of singers not sangers ( as The queen was a Sanger big Difference!!) how to pay proper respect and acknowledge them to keep doing their best and be original! Always be original never compramise who you are!
Absolutely, she was 72 when she recorded this, she'd lost nothing, she still effortlessly soars to those notes like no one else can, Jerry Wexler once said of her - she can't sing a bad note, she doesn't know how to - and I've certainly never heard it.
I have "loved" this woman's music since "Baby I Love You." She sings everything with her own twist. She left us quite lot of her magnificent music from Soul, Opera, Dinah Washington's hits, etc. And now this. I'm sure Adele is busting with pride over the fact this Legend would think enough of her music to record it. I'm partial to Adele's version myself but Aretha was a "Great Entertainer" that I rocked out to in my youth and still do!!!
It's really hard to tell if it is Auto Tune It sounds more like Reverb to me, But come on those of us who grew up listening to Aretha knows that the Woman can SANG! not Sing but SANG so her talent is real and it is Great and today's generation can certainly learn alot from her. And she definitely sang the heck out of this song. OKAYY SNAPS!!
That's what I'm thinking -- reverb, plus I think parts of the vocals are done in sections and then put together. But that's nothing new. She used to have overlapping layered vocals on her 70s albums. As for the auto tune, I am sure no expert as I know only the robotic stuff, and I've heard her live in concert a few times. Her voice is what it is and it has changed over the years but she has a very wide range and the tones change as she goes from one register to another. She can sound full and strong one moment but a few notes later she can sound nasally and maybe a bit whiny. And when she wants to knock one of those high vibrato notes she can still do it even though she doesn't do it as often or as much as we might like.
No Auto tune is on this song where is everybody getting that from?Aretha doesn't need auto tune she is a naturally gifted singer who doesn't need that garbage.
Omg!!! In her 70s. She would have tore this up 10 yrs ago!! But she showed Adele some big love. I'm crying ,dancing and thanking you my queen for 50 yrs of 💘. With what you have left us we will never run out of good music.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hearing her voice brings tears to my eyes...... there will never be another voice in this lifetime, that reaches the soul, the pain, the joy, the tears, the uplifting, and strength Aretha Franklin expressed through music..... the best thing she always kept Christ #1 in her life. As a young church boy it’s inspiring to know that you can sing across the world and win awards and at a time was the soundtrack to our lives..... she always knew that the church was the foundation of it all...... R.I.H. ARETHA FRANKLIN ❤️
I love both versions that make me want to dance! I grew up listening to Aretha Franklin. I am glad we have young artists like Adele with a lovely voice.
Anyone who can sing like this in their 70's and has cancer is a legend and truly gifted. Much respect and awe. RIP Aretha.
Truth.
Aretha has been in the music industry before the parents of adele had met but what caused me admiration is that rather adele admiring aretha is the other way around.
@Marshal Marrs of course not, Adele is the one who wrote it.
F*** what y'all talking about. Aretha Franklin is the Queen!!!
Aretha sang the heck out of this song and did a fantastic job. At 70 something, she could still out sing all the younger singers. Praise to you Aretha. This is the first time I have heard this song by the Queen .
❤🤟🏾
I miss Miss Lady Soul. Miss Niki Hoeky. Mama Reeree😢😢😢😢
she was all over the place attempting not to sound like a cover. Big fail.
She is the queen of soul she sound good they don’t know about soul music she is the one who can sang any song and Whitney Houston
❤️👍🏻
Aretha had alot of respect for Adele 😊. She speaks about it in an interview. It must be such a blessing that an icon sings your song 😊
Aretha appreciated real talent!
The comments section is Toxic. This was never intended to be a competition or anything. She was just fond of the song and sang it and put it on tape.
The first time I heard Adele sing this song I honestly thought it sounded like something Aretha would sing.
Its human nature ro compare and weigh our options. That way we surpass mediocrity. We get better and better. Aretha was scale we use to measure by back in the day.The scale will never balance it self for to long, thus the need to compare and get better!
She sang this song FAR BETTER than Adele could on her best Day. Aretha is Fabulous!
I like this version better people can't enjoy music without making it competitive, Aretha was an Awesome singer and in her 70's she still did and excellent cover.

The doctor didn't come for the perfect like you Eric. I'm sorry you don't get it but I hope you do. Forgiveness is for those who need it but maybe not for the self -righteous. She had a baby when she was 13. I wonder what was going on in her life and who was hurting her. Read her bio & see if you can find some compassion in your judgemental heart. Get back to me after.
good one Jms. I'm wondering if the unforgivable sin is self-righteousness. Eric got that covered. lol
Eric, I got a song for you. "Where Is the Love?". Wherever Aretha is singing, its a heavenly choir & no fire.
Aretha is not trying to replace anyone. What is remarkable is that in her 70s she sang better than ever and with more soul.
👌👍
It's not "good for a 72-yr-old". It's good. It's great. It's fucking awesome, that's what it is.
Odell’s song in the deep is factually an old ancient Native American sound. So it’s just not the nerve. But the insult you clearly understand.
I'm sorry but Aretha at ANY age captures Black America BEST!!! That's OUR sound!!!!
That transition to Ain't No Mountain High Enough is superb! Great music never dies.
I'm sure Adele could think of no higher honor that have Aretha Franklin singing her song and really enjoying belting it out in grand style--a mutual thrill of two great artists.
Tener a Aretha cantar su canción? No será al revés? A caso no es de Aretha la canción?

Wow. What a powerful version of this song. Aretha you are missed.

Согласна. Впервые слушаю. Это супер. Просто уоу!
It gives me Goosebumps with those back up Singers
It’s everything. Aretha’s timeless & can do anything. They don’t call her “Queen” for nothing ✨🥲

Waaaw!!! She owns this song...Her voice lifts my spirit Amazingly goddess!

Wow is right.
Can't stop playing this on repeat
Why does it sound so auto-tuned? :(
I agree! Heard it on CBC Metro Morning in Toronto. Awesome!
Sparthir Kiwiwarrior Because it was auto-tuned by the production team, and very poorly.
I heard this version on the radio in my city, in Brazil. I didn't know it was Aretha, and I was totally amazed by the interpretation! It changed the way I listened to this song!
Its rare to see legends do covers of current music... This was a lovely rendition
Aretha is a rare Queen. If it's good music with a soulful meaning... She will sing it!
She was and always will be so incredibly talented, RIP Aretha, gone but never forgotten.

True
Both of them - because if you’re a woman being number 1 is not enough - you wanna be number 2

Exactly. Unbelievable honor for her to sing Adele's song, it's very much like an annotating. The disrespect on this feed is appalling.
It gotta be an honor to be honored by the Queen of soul.. Aretha said ,”I like Adele, now she can sing” in an interview
Queen Aretha….may she rest in everlasting peace ❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Still raises the goose bumps on this performance, like any other. Always the Queen of Soul!
the more I hear this version, I have to say, Aretha Rocked this song, with SOUL!

she sounded beyond awful
Wasn't she sick with cancer at the time too?

so why did people even say she sang better than Adele?
please just ignore any insensitiveness,
let's focus on the fact or whatever it is
Simond would have sent her packing if this was her AI audition, It was horrible.
I think Aretha sings far better now than she did when she was younger. With age her she is singing with FAR MORE CONVICTION!!!
Goosebumps, yass Queen!

The best version of Aretha singing this track is live on The David Letterman show. Its a must see!👌
Her voice is pure soul.
👍
All hail The Queen!!! They'll never be another.
Hearing her voice brings tears to my eyes...... there will never be another voice in this lifetime, that reaches the soul, the pain, the joy, the tears, the uplifting, and strength Aretha Franklin expressed through music..... the best thing she always kept Christ #1 in her life. As a young church boy it’s inspiring to know that you can sing across the world and win awards and at a time was the soundtrack to our lives..... she always knew that the church was the foundation of it all...... R.I.H. ARETHA FRANKLIN ❤️
Rolling in the DWEEEEEEEEP
I love this! Aretha Franklin's voice commands you to move! !!!
I love both versions that make me want to dance! I grew up listening to Aretha Franklin. I am glad we have young artists like Adele with a lovely voice.
Aretha the only one who can sang this soulful
Linda versão. Aretha sempre maravilhosa. Descanse em paz!
Aretha still had a better voice in her 70's than most do in their 40's and 50's.
Good morning, love and peace! Don't forget to smile and try to make somebody happy today! For you, the unique Aretha Franklin
THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. JESUS BLESS U ARETHA. MY GOD
