Nobody ever like Queen Aretha or Queen Mahalia not on this planet ,many singers sing great but Queen Aretha was Unique and could sing anything .God Bless this Tribute Mary Mary said it best .
Y'all sing like you wanna sing But Queen Aretha just Moved us in the Spirit regardless what she sang .and on the piano when she let loose Lord Have Mercy
Only Gladys and CeCe stay true to themselves and in doing so respected Aretha to the upmost, not trying to sing it like Areatha. I respect that, SANG LADIES.
The best part of the Aretha tribute was Mary Mary. And I'm not even a fan of Mary Mary. But the way they sang that song and the way the music was played I can guarantee if Aretha was still with us, it would have her stamp of approval. She probably would have even started doing her church step down the aisle.
I have looked at this tribute a few times already and I can certainly say that this tribute was a WORSHIP EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER. THE GENERAL(Pastor McClurkin) His Rifts/Runs was PRICELESS! HE IS TRULY THE BEST MALE GOSPEL VOCALIST IN THE WORLD. The PRICELESS PEARL OF GOSPEL, Sis. CeCe Winans did a REMARKABLE JOB. All her fans around the globe can safely say she is woman of INTEGRITY, HOLINESS, POISE, BEAUTY AND GRACE. The Sister/Sister Duo, Mary Mary was INCREDIBLE. Sis. Tina Campbell, My Mother was WORSHIPPING when you were singing. You sang that song the same way the Late Queen Of Soul would have sung it. You were UNSTOPPABLE. Sis. Gladys Knight, GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU, YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB. Sis. Ledisi, YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB as well. I am THRILLED THAT THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST WAS LIFTED UP AND SOME PERSON(S) will get to know JESUS CHRIST as their Personal Lord and Savior. LET GOD BE PRAISED. I have a suggestion, I know that the Late Queen of Soul would be given a Posthumous Award or Tribute for her Outstanding Contribution to Music and The Arts, Whomever is responsible for selecting the vocalists to pay homage to her should also include Dr. Dorinda Clarke Cole(THE BEST FEMALE GOSPEL VOCALIST), Sis. Karen Clarke Sheard, Sis. Kim Burrell, Sis. Andrea McClurkin Mellini alongside Pastor Donnie McClurkin, Sis. CeCe Winans, Sisters Erica and Tina Campbell, Sis. Gladys Knight and Sis. Ledisi.
I'm seeing this for the first time right now and I'm feeling it! You said it well... I was looking for a Jennifer Hudson performance/tribute that Aretha attended (close to or after movie production began), but had to listen to this first. Saw CeCe & BeBe in Orlando, FL at a PDL festival back in 2005. They're all taking me to church again here! ❤️Love from NW Alabama (where the Queen herself recorded the big hits)❤️🎶
THE GENERAL(Pastor Donnie McClurkin) and THE ROSE OF GOSPEL(Dr. Dorinda Clarke Cole), These two amazing vocalists could do RIFTS/RUNS LIKE NO OTHER. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY THE BEST MALE AND FEMALE GOSPEL VOCALISTS.
Thank you for posting this. I missed the televised version, and uploads of the broadcast get removed quickly. It must have been a very powerful performance and you're lucky to have been there.
Excellent best tribute to date. Each Soloist song fit like a glove. It was great..Band, Singers, Choir, wardrobe and arrangements. Most importantly the spirit of the Lord was present and God got the Glory. Aretha will never be duplicated but I think they did her proud.
This was a WORSHIP EXPERIENCE that cannot be REPLICATED. This was beyond a MUSICAL TRIBUTE , This was CHURCH. GENERAL! (UNCLE DONNIE) GENERAL!(UNCLE DONNIE) that Rift/Run you did send me to the floor SHOUTING. YOU WERE UBER REMARKABLE, THAT IS WHY YOU ARE THE BEST MALE GOSPEL VOCALIST and an UNAPOLOGETIC WORSHIPPER. GOD BLESS YOU SIR. SCHOOL THEM CHIEF! YESSUH! The PRICELESS PEARL OF GOSPEL Sis. CeCe Winans, you are the epitome of BEAUTY, CLASS, DIGNITY, GRACE AND INTEGRITY. You did an AMAZING JOB. Everyone in my family always speak about the way you carry yourself and the RICH LEGACY THE WINANS FAMILY HAS. They also talk about Dr. Dorinda Clarke Cole, Sis. Karen Clarke Sheard, Pastor Shirley Caesar, Sis. Andrea McClurkin Mellini, and Minister Jekalyn Carr for being such BEAUTIFUL, CLASSY, DIGNIFIED AND POISED WOMEN OF FAITH. Sis. Erica and Tina, LADIES YOU SANG THAT SONG! WOW! Sis. Tina Campbell, WOMAN OF GOD YOU SANG WITH THE ANOINTING, YOUR VOICE IS INCREDIBLE. Let me tell you My Mother started to WORSHIP when you were singing. You sang that song exactly the same way The Late Queen Of Soul would have sung it. You are a blessing to our generation, You must be commended as well for being a TRUE WOMAN OF GOD. Continue to SING AND LIVE FOR JESUS CHRIST. The Legend Gladys Knight GOD BLESS YOU. Sis. Ledisi, You did an AMAZING JOB, GOD BLESS YOU. What I LOVE MOST about this is JESUS CHRIST WAS BEAUTIFULLY REPRESENTED and some unsaved person(s) would get to know JESUS CHRIST as HIS/HER PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR.
IN The UK she is also revered. I heard that when she sang for Queen Elizabeth she got so into The Music her crown almost came off. Also on UK Soaps her music has been featured. On EastEnders they played Respect and on Emmerdale they used her version of Night Time Is The Right Time as part of a Promo where Charity Tate although was married to her Husband Chris was also having an affair with her Sister In Law Zoe. When they did The UK Version of Dancing With The Stars called Strictly Come Dancing they played her music and in front of Buckingham Palace they played Respect and in Canada they had a Parade to honor her music. She's visited Canada and her Audience consisted of so many folks including Young People who weren't even born when she started out.
Thank for Sharing This Video ! Sister Aretha Franklin ,was Respected & Loved By So Many People ❤️ Gladys Knight is a “ Living Legend ❤️ Donnie McClure , Cee Cee Winan , Ledis , Mary - n Mary
Since Aretha Franklin was a iconic legend, & a winner of the AMA awards twice, and a artist that has won just about every musical award ever given! Aretha's tribute should have been more apart of the AMA awards than the last 5-6 minutes!!! (Aretha's tribute was the ONLY reason that I watched the AMA awards, this year)!!!
I really enjoyed their tribute becuz it focus on Aretha music I love the most that her gospel songs. They didn't go with her most popular songs which most tributes usually does so awesome & beautifully done.
Kendall Taylor, thanks for posting. Hurricane Michael hit Albany, GA on Oct. 10, my power restored Oct. 16, missed the AMAs 2018. Church right here, right now!
AMA WHERE THEY ALLOW SINGERS TO LIP SYNCH,I DONT EVEN WATCH IT ANYMORE, WHO WANTS TO WATCH PEOPLE LIP SYNCH, ARETHA TRIBUTE THEY BOUGHT REAL SINGERS THANK GOODNESS
Aretha sang and was known for so much more than Gospel. But nice Tribute. Better than none. I hope the Grammy's include all her styles of music. Not just Gospel.
Yes Maam!!!!!! That song has gotten black people through alot misery in this country. Lynching, Jim Crow, and etc. That should of been our national anthem.
Paulette Stovall I agree. The tribute they did on Black Girls Rock was awesome! It was a mixture of the Queen’s music and all of the songs were flawlessly executed.
Nobody ever like Queen Aretha or Queen Mahalia not on this planet ,many singers sing great but Queen Aretha was Unique and could sing anything .God Bless this Tribute Mary Mary said it best .
Cece reminded me to Whitney
Y'all sing like you wanna sing But Queen Aretha just Moved us in the Spirit regardless what she sang .and on the piano when she let loose Lord Have Mercy
THE CeCe Winans!!! Queen of Gospel had to do it right for the Queen of Soul!
The only segment of the show worth watching in my opinion. Praise God.
It was the end too lol
They put it on last trying to capture a certain audience. I stumbled on it trying to watch the 11 o'clock news
It was good I saw it on t.v
I guess the only way to explain it is they saved the best for last.
I agree!
Cmon CeCe!!! She tore it up!
Cece!!!!
🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
Only Gladys and CeCe stay true to themselves and in doing so respected Aretha to the upmost, not trying to sing it like Areatha. I respect that, SANG LADIES.
Cece came and shut it down 🔥 That version of Mary don't you weep needs to be recorded cause woah!!!
Miss Aretha we miss you so.

Aretha, the world thanks you.
Cece performance is so awsome her voice is unmatchable she could move mountains with that voice Queen 🖤💙👑👸🏾
