Does Tina Really Want To Do This?

A while ago, Aretha Franklin must have not reached her daily 10,000 calorie intake, because she made a grouchy statement about Tina Turner. While performing at the Grammys, Beyonce introduced Tina as "The Queen." Aretha released some statement saying she was offended by this, because she's always been known as the "Queen of Soul."

It took a little while for Tina to respond, but she finally did:

“Aretha has always been like that. We’ve always accepted that from her. She’s the queen of soul, and I’m the queen of rock ‘n’ roll. There were so many kings and queens there that night. Her ego must be so big to think she was the only one. That’s how queens are!”

Well, if her ego is in a third of the size of one of her chichis then it's pretty big.

Aretha put down the bowl of cake batter, moved her extra roly poly chin out of the way and responded to Tina's response to USA Today. Everybody move out of the way!

"I have always appreciated what Tina Turner has to offer and had quietly cheered her on after Ike and her subsequent success. However, with respect to her statement concerning my ego clearly she was talking about herself as she described herself as the 'Queen of Rock' and saying 'that's what Queens do' — particularly since she does not have a clue as to who I am in view of the fact that we have never met.

I never figured her to resort to tacky press just to sell a few tickets. I understand and I know that the concert market is down where ticket sales are concerned. I really had put her in a different class — higher than that.

Finally, no one has been more gracious or complimentary to their peers than I have and I am confident and secure enough to do so, unlike some others. I wish Ms. Turner all the best, as I always have. Perhaps one day we will meet."

I hope Tina can run fast, because Aretha is coming for her. It would only take one blow from Aretha's chichi mounds to lay Tina out. I'm sorry, but I'm Team Mega Chichis. You do not make Aretha angry. She could make you disappear faster than Houdini. I mean, all she has to do is sit and POOF! You're gone!

Oh, and I believe Tina Turner only made this comment during an Oprah interview. When Oprah started off this season (Sept 2008) interviewing her and Cher in Vegas.

Oprah asked Tina about Aretha's comment from earlier this year... about a month ago in Vegas... Tina gave a short reply... and Aretha just now decided to be all offended. Again.

Both ladies are legendary, and Tina's 69 and HOLDING. My mum is 69 & she was listening to Ike & Tina Turner on the radio when my mum was 13. Doing a damn good job for a lady over 70. Meanwhile, I think they should come out swinging - handbags, only. After the main event, they should do the same kind of fight only with guys in high heels - handbags only, in all weight classes. I'm really liking this idea ...

I think all her angry response is just jealousy. Aretha has always been a little off in her vision of place in history.

I recall Aretha was demanding Halle Berry was the only option of portraying her in the movie about her life. Even on her very best day... she looked nothing like Halle Berry.

Musically, there are many girl's from the 60's that were great singers. She was one of many.

But Tina is the only one who made a huge impact & comeback in her mid-40's and continue to sell millions of records. And looked great while doing it.

Image matters. Everytime I see Aretha at any event she looks like hell. With her boobs all hanging out. Girlfriend needs to buy a damn bra. haha!

Then of course Tina is 69 still looking good. And Aretha is 65, looking like a hot mess.

I'm Team Tina because she's better preserved and Aretha's whole statement is some passive aggressive bullshit; however, why the hell did Ms. Turner decide to speak on the Grammy thing in October when it happened in February?! Bitch is trying to start something. Gotta love it.
