@@Gmez759 No, it was "Would that be her husband?" She is reading the reporter by telling that she knows about the deal because she has an illegal affair with Nick Cannon who is also a radio host/interviewer. Lol, the reporter didn't utter a damn word after that.
Jesus. People are so sensitive and delusional when it comes to Mariah. Aretha clearly said "Inside sources? Would that be HER husband?", referring to Nick in the sense that relatives do tend to inflate numbers for the sake of publicity. After the reporter confirmed credibility, Aretha went on to explain how Mariah getting $18 million might be based on them compensating her cancelled shows. All that is obviously shade towards Mariah. She clearly wasn't too pleased with the idea that M was "the highest paid judge". It's really not that hard to comprehend .
to get praise from this woman is SOMETHING. the legendary Aretha. mariah is a living legend, who had utmost respect for the legends that came before her
The people who are thinking Aretha shaded Mariah are beyond reaching. She was shading the rest of the American Idol judges. Learn how to detect shade. If anything, the reporter was trying to bait Aretha into saying something shady about Mariah..and she failed.
@@shihlin1 Not it's not. Why do people insist that Aretha is shady? She's a straight shooter but she isn't shady unless you come for her first, then she may let you have it. She never shaded Chaka Khan, The Clark Sisters, Nancy Wilson, and many more singers that she has not shaded. You can say it's because they kiss her ass but I believe it's because she respects them and it is mutual. Please don't keep narrative going. It's not true.
You’re either delusional or just terrible at reading ppl. Aretha was not shading Mariah as a vocalist, obviously, but she was 100% shading her after that $19 million payment comment. She literally went “Who said that? Inside sources? Would that be her husband?“ Oops. And then “They certainly have to compensate her for the loss of her concerts“ lmfao. That is shade.
What I love about Aretha is she can be snappy, Bitchy, and straight to the point, but if she actually thinks someone is polite or gracious she will NEVER bring em down.
Mark CC she did say “her” I think. The shade is Aretha is trying to check the reporter like with that head tilt “how do you know that?” “A close source like her husband...” like watch your mouth and what you’re implying cause it could get misconstrued I think is what she means.
The sequence goes “You think so?” “Do you know that?” “How’d you know that?” “Inside sources ?“ “Would that be your husband?” Therefore, she’s not shading Mariah
REPORTER: "And she's gonna be makin 18 million dollars for one year" ARETHA: "Do you think so??? Do you know that, how do you know that?" Aretha was NOT havin it lolol funny how some of these reporters do. Its like she was throwin it in Aretha's face that Mariah got the gig so she could hopefully get a reaction out of her. I guess that's a goal of a reporter tho: Ask/say whatever you must in order to get ratings. Cute lil clapback from Aretha tho lol loved it
+Poo Jones "What do you think of Mariah?" "Oh, she's a lovely person. She's gracious." WHAT? I mean, has she ever heard Mariah sing? Mariah is one of the greatest voices of all time and Aretha's all like, "She's real nice..."
Aretha was stickin up for Mariah when she brought up all the missing potential revenue in live concerts ( rakin it in herself she knows!). ReRe & MC 'been friends since Divas so .... no shade from the Queen to the Queen(respectfully) in waiting...
They are friends since the Grammys 1992, when Mariah proved the world she is the Greatest of All Time, by performing "If It's Over" in front of everyone relevant at that time.
BEST QUOTE OF THE YEAR: "Lead SANGERS should judge singers..."- Aretha Franklin I always say that when I did watch American Idol and The Voice. Now, I realize these shows are more so about "the show", instead of "the talent"!!!
I think she's shading the reporter not Mariah. That reporter was pretty stupid to assume how much Mariah would be making on Idol. Even if she said she had resources, I don't believe it. "NEVER ASSUME!"
Why y'all so obsessed with Jlo? She was one of the most popular judges ever on that show. Maybe she was not only talking about her but also Britney who was on XFactor, Paula who was on Idol before...i think Kelly Rowland did X Factor too or all those celebs on The Voice.
That was not shade towards Mariah she is saying if they want mc to serve as a judge then they have to compensate for what she will lose from not touring as a result of sacrificing for American idol show. why do people lie so much. starting unnecessary drama.
Aretha is one of the reasons why Mariah is such a great singer..I read Mariah would emulate her songs.....To me.....the best singers were from the old days of the 30s to 60s and the 70s....it was about raw talent.....
I love Aretha Franklin. Mariah is my favorite vocalist of all time! I'm excited to see Mariah on AI! I do think though that Aretha was slightly throwing shade at MC when they said her salary though. IDK y, from my understanding The Queen of Soul has never been broke! I love u Mariah... I love u Aretha!
Aretha was shading the shit out of JLo on Mariah's behalf!! She gave me such a mamabear vibe. Like I'm gonna check this little girl that was beefing with my child in the smoothest way possible!!
By mentioning how much Mariah was being paid, The main stream media woman was baiting Aretha to make a negative jealous comment. But it did not work as Aretha saw though it and made positive comments. That's why the main stream media woman gave the embarrassing laughed toward the end of the video.
mc Mac Aretha, Whitney, Dionne. These ladies sang for the most part songs written by others. You don’t get residuals for that. So the paying gigs they get are important. Aretha was all about guarding her income. Don’t blame her. Look how Whitney made Dolly Parton serious bank. Right?
THAT LEVEL OF RESPECT FROM THE QUEEN OF RESPECT IS RARE!!!!. She knows Jlo is a manufactured singer....Mariah is a pure God given talent....Instrument ...She basically said pay Mariah her WORTH!!!
People so dumb on here talkin about shade. Why would she have shade she made it on her own . 60 years in the business not many singers can say that rip 👑
Lets be honest, reason why American Idol didn't approach Aretha to be a judge was plain and simple: they thought she was too old. American Idol was after ratings and they wanted younger (read: Nicki Minaj) or more famous (read: Mariah). They were afraid Aretha would turn away viewers. This was the American public's loss as we missed out having Queen of Soul's participation. Today American Idol is still after the same. By having someone like Katy Perry as a judge, I've stopped watching for good.
Aretha would have been fantastic on Idol....what a mistake not to have her. How she would treat a upcoming singer as opposed to how she treats media are two different things. She would have given a lot to those contestants.
I don't think there's any envy at all. I think she challenged the media (I think HLN and many other "news" agencies tend to "inflate" certain aspects of a story to make it more marketable) on behalf of Mariah and other artists. Aretha obviously respects Mariah as a fellow performer, and tactfully offers a plausible theory of explanation for the agency's disclosure of personal salary information. It should be about the talent, not the money.
To hear such good words from Aretha about Mariah makes me happy. They are my two favourite non-operatic singers. In my humble opinion 2 of 4 best non-operatic female voices of the previous century, along with Ella and Sarah.
Mariah always showed respect to Aretha, as she is her example. And Aretha respects for that AND because Mariah is a real singer (instead of JLo type of artists)
and everyone else that was on tv shows like that at the time. I actually think it's more shade at Xtina because even Jlo's biggest fans don't claim she is a ''leading singer''. She's the greatest dancer, a great entertainer, good actress and can sing well enough for a successful pop career as we have seen but no one ever said she was the greatest singer.
They should have at least let her come on there for one night and give some fair and raw truths about the contestants. Im sure they would have appreciated hearing more from a great giant in the industry like her than anyone else.
Well what I've got to say about this is that Mariah has always showed the uppermost respect to her predecessors and showed true and dear homage. Never has she gotten into this big of a spat with anyone but Nicki and Christina Aguilera who no one likes in the business anyway. Unlike Nicki whose only in her almost 2 1/2 year of being really famous and has already had beefs with Lil Kim, Da Brat, Mariah, Obama, a Maid, all the female rappers trying to get in the game and Lady Gaga. Hmmm....
"Inside sources???? Would that be her husband?" followed by that dirty laugh at @2:28 made me laugh so much! hahahaha! She should have changed her song "Chain of Fools" to "Shade, shade, shade" haha
Aretha is honest but she comes off as jealous sometimes when speaking on other artists and their accomplishments. I've seen it a couple of times. It's beyond shade.
Ohhh This is why Mariah is annoyed with some young singers. They don’t know how to be gracious. They don’t know how to introduce themselves to her. Because she has done her stripes when she was starting a d you ger
Britney Spears was the first highest paid judge tho 15 millions on x factor contract in 2012, after that J. Lo demand more, so they renew her contract for 17,5 millions and just after that Mariah demanded 18.
She shaded JLO.. "real singers should judge other singers"... she loves Mariah, she sang "Touch my Body" by Carey.
+Richie Bustamante She also sang HERO by Mariah, i love her, but it was awful.
+The Sorcerer lmao at your comment, agreed
+Richie Bustamante wow you are handsome....whats your instagram
+Richie Bustamante And Paula Abdul
+The Sorcerer Lol, yeah, it was
Aretha and Mariah always spoke highly of each other. Nice to see as they are 2 of my favorite singers.
That’s one of Mariah’s idol.

When Aretha said, "That's alright", that was the same as saying "That's cool." I don't know why so many people are mis-reading her. Unbeievable!
loved her and love Mariah. True talents.
I dont think she shaded Mariah. Mrs. Ree always adored Mariah.
A Musical Soul always!!
@David H. urethra?
I would like Patty and Aretha doing the judges panel and spewing out shade after shade even on great auditions haha!
Saruman The White Tina Turner better both of them
saruman the white, i see you again here in comment section. hahahahahhahahahah! you're like in every videos i watch. damn! lol
Aretha treats media like that not upcoming singers. She would have been fantastic.
That would be hilarious
That would be hilarious can you imagine them two together as judges lol unfortunately it isn't going to happen :(
Aretha is mariah's idol.
And mariah is one of diva's that aretha loved so much

+Brandon Elliot Smith I love that she didn't fall for that though. She said what she had to say and kept it moving.
If she (Aretha Franklin) is a judge on American Idol then it would be my best show!
Truly! Ms. Franklin or Gladys Knight would give that show some credibility.
George Smith or celine dion the women can sing
Lmao @ "Inside sources? Would that be her husband?"

Mariah has worked really hard her whole life getting to where she is.
Aretha Franklin was a very intelligent, quick thinker and smart woman.
All the original Divas are quick thinkers. They had to be. ❤

"Leading singers should teach singers" It's obvious that Aretha disses J.Lo is a bullcrap singer LOL

Marcus Reindl It’s pretty obvious she shaded her, Jlo is the only one you named who uses other people’s voices
Her and Patty invented shade
Noke David Faingaa oh ok
Angel Johnson mariah ans whitney are their daughter though
Bouby Brown really
Angel Johnson yes bitch
Aretha said "that's alright, I like Mariah she's a very gracious person"
she did not say Mariah is alright so go get your ears checked.
She should've been the judge instead of Nicki Minaj
I love how she is so protective of Mariah here!
That was not shade towards Mariah she is saying if they want mc to serve as a judge then they have to compensate for what she will lose from not touring as a result of sacrificing for American idol show. why do people lie so much. starting unnecessary drama.

Aretha definitely should try idol. I mean who else?
Of ANY female singer, Aretha should get a chair if she wants it. She has been so successful and singing for so long, she deserves it.
Aretha is definitely the Queen of soul. That rock, the sway, the rythum she is a natural.
"You know that, how you know that?" Love it
