Point of clarification; Aretha only had 30 minutes notice about filling in for Pavrotti!
Yes. She sang it at another event 2-days before (so she was familiar with the song), but on the night she didn't expect to sing it, but when approached, she was literally given 10-mins to get it together, and KILLED IT!!
No. She had less than 10 minutes. There are several videos about it from her and the Grammys people. They got the notice about 30 minutes before, but she was asked about 8 minutes before. She then asked to listen to the rehearsal tape, and said, “This is going to be fun” with like 2 minutes before going on stage.
Exactly! Aretha had just, a few minutes to respond, & throwdown. That's exemplary of an exceptionally diverse, talented pro.👍🏾
This is the #1 Greatest Grammy Moment I think. It’s been brought up many times given how unique it was, surprised folks were, and how Aretha executed it. She’s a consummate pro and also so assured that she probably didn’t care what folks thought. The Queen knows her capabilities.
Yes. This is when she stepped in
Yeh, there's a reason Faith Hill was crying and Celine Dion looked like a deer in headlights.
That performance was otherwordly, the way she literally put "Soul" into an Italian Aria is mindblowing.
ARETHA IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME. She sung this operatic number like a hymn. Crazy.
Can we get a video on her rendition of "Moody's Mood"
Whitney houston is the GREATEST VOCALIST OF ALL TIME
@@MuscularDUDE Vocalist suggests one is a technical singer & while Whitney was technical, she wasn't as technical as Aretha Franklin. The woman could walk thru her very deep lower range & right back up to her upper range with ease. Not to mention, they way she could emote a song like nobody's business.
@@MuscularDUDEAretha has no rival - Houston was never on Aretha's level of celestial mastery.
The audience got a double dose of both disbelief that this situation could get pulled off and then witness a lifetime memory of that performance live. Incredible with hardly a dry eye to be found
No other compares. I just marvel at how the Queen could make you feel a song. As the late great Arthur Mitchell put it “She fused all the genres into a new thing, we call it ARETHA! ❤
The way I briskly walked out of the Dr’s office waiting room to hear your take on Aretha singing her face on this opera song! Sheesh think I’ll rewatch Aretha Franklin Genius cause that diva was the ish. Oh I’m subscribing too😉
If I’m not mistaken the artist who was supposed to do this performance was ill. So he ask her if she could do it and she did. I saw her talk about that performance I just can’t remember where. Ms. Franklin was a woman to be reckoned with. I absolutely love her. ❤❤❤
Yes! Amen
This Aretha Franklin moment is just another masterpiece she gave us, like many other iconic performances she made across the globe.
She is a force of nature. Truly blessed!
0:58 how low she goes!
It’s incredible how she made this song sound so hymnal and gospel-like.
She put her Aretha touch to it!
It’s hauntingly beautiful!
She was a genius vocalist. A true master of the craft.
Classic Soul. I don't remember this as a kid, but I saw it when she first passed and was amazed. (I'm a Detroiter too, we go hard for Retha lol)
Is this when she stepped in for Luciano Pavarotti? He got ill. If so I saw it live and remember it vividly. I was yelling, "You better sing, Aretha!" My goodness. I met Aretha Franklin at a rest stop in NJ coming from Atlantic City. I saw her, tapped on her limo door, and got her autograph on the back of a taco bell receipt. She was in the middle of eating it when I interrupted her. RIP Aretha Franklin. I love you 🌹
2 days? She had to step in, at the very last minute, in less than an hour since she was already scheduled to present or perform. In an hours time? Bananas. She had performed it two days prior which is why she’s familiar with the material, eventhough it was a different conductor and orchestra. Brilliance!
Yes!!! Not 2 days, but minutes!!!
I booked this date. That violinist over her right shoulder told me that they had practiced with Pavorotti earlier that afternoon. The musicians were shocked when when she appeared on the stage.
@@gordonclare2036Wow!
She add sing 2 Day prior nessum dorma but in her key.now she had 5 minute to prepare and sing it in luciano's key
I remember watching this and bursting into tears. It was a combination of things: the emotion she gave the song, plus she was a Black woman from Detroit singing in Italian and she did it all on short notice! I listen to this song frequently. It’s on most of my playlists. It’s a great Grammy moment and yet another reason why Aretha is the Queen!
YES!!!!😢❤😢❤
Ladies & Gentlemen, The GOAT, Ms. Aretha Franklin 👑
All hail the Queen. Only a true musician could step in and totally master this performance. Celine’s and the audience’s reactions is all you need as evidence … such skill! 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
When I tell you the peach fuzz on the tip of my elbows stood up 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽. My Gawd🙏🏽. I had forgotten about that Grammy performance and I felt like I was hearing it for the very first time. Thank you, Jaron. You put a smile on this Auntie’s heart 💜
The peach fuzz on the tip of your elbow? I'm so done😂😂😂
😎Hey bro, This is Wayne Lewis of the pop/RnB group, "Atlantic Starr". This is one of my all time favorite performances, ever...and the groups as well.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I love what u do. Keep up the good work!🙏🏽🧡💥
Thanks so much for analyzing this amazing favorite of mine!
🙂↕️
Yes. Witnessed it in real time… she didn’t have ANY notice…just sitting in the audience and asked to fill in since she’d sang this song 2 days prior at a whole other venue, different orchestra, etc. AHHMAZING to watch unfold.
Love your analysis! You are the G.O.A.T. Your voice and range is amazing.
She's the G.O.A.T. for a reason.💯
I remember watching this as a kid and tearing up and at 38 I still tear up her emotion and the way how she made it her own and that note at the end smh gets me every time
Ms. Areatha is NOT AFRAID! 🔊 👩🏽🎤🎵WHO YOU GONNA CALL? 🎵Ms. Franklin, the Mistress of A-L-L That & More. ☀Thank you for sharing!💚
I believe she said after that this was one of the few times in her life that she was actually nervous to perform, and her team apparently advised her not to do it. That makes her even more GOATed to me. She was scared and did it anyway and killed it. It's just amazing.
Thanks for this review. It’s one of my favorite live performances that I have on a tape somewhere that I have to stop and listen to whenever I come across it
ITS ABOUT TIME U DID THIS🤎🤎🤎
Facts I been waiting for this
Truly a transcendent performance.The emotional depth , the sheer power and intensity of her voice is evident in this song ❤ thanks for your excellent performance analysis 🙏🏽
I wanna see you do a breakdown of Aretha Franklin’s “Angel” the studio single. It’s such a good song that has had me gripped for months now. I listen to it like twice a day
I love your videos! You’re going to go far!!!
Loved this analysis!
I was WAITING for you to review and break down this MAJESTIC performance! It’s simply breathtaking. 😊 Thank you
Thank you for analyzing Aretha’s performance as she filled in for Luciano Pavarotti. I remember watching this when she appeared on The Grammys . I was in awe of her performance. She truly was The Queen. She was one of a kind. Love her and her music. R.I.P. Queen of Soul. 👏👏👏❤️🥰
Oh Jaron, Right on! AS a pro for 4 decades, healthy singing is healthy singing, no matter the style. Aretha -is the QUEEN! The gliss down is fabulous and so are you, my friend.
We beautiful black people could sing anything and dance to anything And make it Own amen amen 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
This man doing the review can singgggg.❤
Omg this song gives me chills and her voice just gives me goosebumps 🫶🏾❤️🔥❤️🔥
She's a Queen 👑👑👑
The original video just happened to pop up on my feed and the FIRST thing I did was come here to see if you ever reviewed it… and, of course, you did not disappoint. One of the greatest live television performances of all time and should not be forgotten!
This performance always makes me cry. Great video
Ditto
At 5:16 It's brilliant the way she sings behind the orchestra, it's such a "gospel" trick! SO brilliant!
I remember watching this on TH-cam, being obsessed!!!
Ive been wanting you to do a reaction to this video for the longest because this is one of my favorite aretha performances ❤️
This is where the word "Diva" comes from. There is no other.
That performance gave me chills ❤❤❤ Nobody else can do it like Aretha.
Yes yes yes!! I’ve been waiting for you to do this analysis… I enjoyed it so much! Thank you ❤️❤️
Love your videos. And that. "Not my problem" section at the end? A good philosophy for life tbh.
and as many times as I cry to this performance, I'm STILL crying in between your commentary.
I love that you are reviewing this. THIS performance made investigate and become a fan of opera. I love classical now, along with soul.
The greatest of all time!! Yes 🙌
Oh ❤❤❤❤❤ thank you for this
The single greatest moment on TV
I just know you had fun with this one.😁
My dad required this at his Wake (it was a great party, actually!) And I love this version so Much! Of the 3 Tenors, Domingo!
Let me tell you what I love about this channel and these videos... I love that there's a real appreciation and understanding of music as an art and creative expression, as well as the knowledge behind the different vocal stylings. I learn so much from hearing these analyses as someone who is not vocally inclined but has an appreciation for singing and music.
Thanks for teaching us listeners these techniques that these amazing vocalists are executing.
She def did it HER way. Beautiful!
My parents would go see her and her father in concert and as a young girl she was special. We had every album. Yes ALBUM 😅😅Aretha is on several of my playlists in heavy rotation. RIP👸🏽💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
I’ve always loved this song. And Aretha sang it! I couldn’t believe it. Loved it
You are awesome at this young man! I love hearing your assessment. Nice job
Queen Franklin has always been fearless. And I like a lot of the things you like. I know that If she would have performed this in her prime, she would’ve murdered, cremated and eulogized this song 🔥🔥🔥😂😂😂
This is probably top 3 Aretha dragging us moments.
Love this video! Love your reviews! Love the Queen, our sister in Christ!🥰✨🤎🤎🤎
Amazing 🥰🔥🔥
LYRICS:
Nessun dorma!
Nessun dorma!
Tu pure, o Principessa
Nella tua fredda stanza
Guardi le stelle
Che tremano d'amore
E di, e di speranza
Within my heart
My secret lies
And what his name is
None shall know, no no
Till on the heart
I confess it
Soon as morning lights shall dawn
Oh Prince, then shall
My kisses break the silence
That make thee mine
Dilegua, o notte!
Tramontate, stelle!
Tramontate, stelle!
All'alba vincerò!
Vincerò!
Vincerò!
Vincerò!
QUEEN OF SOUL SO 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 😎 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Aretha! *THE* voice . I so love her 😻
Beautiful!!!
NOT YOU SINGING LIKE THE QUEEN!! 😂🙌🏾
She was train classically her teacher spoke on a daytime show about teacher her different arias and then she went to studied CLASSICAL piano because she was more of a church jazz contemporary style player.
If I’m not mistaken, it wasn’t 2 days, it was within about 30 minutes or so that she stepped in.😉❤️
You are correct. Not 2 days. She had less than 30 minutes to prepare.
I remember watching this and reading the reviews the next day. The purists referred to Aretha’s version as Popera or Popopera
Just a 🐐 doing, what a 🐐 does 🤷🏾♂️. I think I watch this performance every time I come across it. The greatest! ❤
This was such an amazing performance. Aretha was like, don't worry Luciano, I got this. Our fans will not go home unhappy, you just sit back and let me handle this.
And man, I agree with you on everything. Aretha understood the genre and managed to be true to herself and the style, while still representing herself.
This was remarkable
I love how she gave the song an operatic atmosphere, and a church-touch right before the end
Finally
My girl. Miss her so much
It was a stunning performance.
You are truly amazing 👏. Let them sing tho....
I love you loving it!
i love what you said at 10:31 because i feel like that kind of strictly academic mentality is the main reason classical music has lost popularity. like you're paying for tickets to see an artist perform their art, not a seance 😭
We wont see nothing like this again in our lifetime
Thank you from the bottom of my heart - *REE* is the soundtrack to my life . . .
I’m miss her😢
QUEEN ARETHA!
When I saw that... anything was a possibility!
In my mind when she was asked to sing she said, "Well...I am Aretha Franklin so I will do it"😂
Cover Aretha Franklin doing a tribute awards to composer Carole King the time president Obama and his wife attended when she sang You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman. It was phenomenal!
This is a a piece of passion. Pavarotti and Aretha skills that leave us in awe. But what does the technical talent desire...
when Pavarotti saw this, he said to Aretha -
"You can do what I do, but I can't do what you do"
I remember that night. I was on needles and pins thinking, "oh my, they're trying to ruin her reputation." However, Aretha did what she was always known to do -- she made it her song.💞
For clarification. She only had 8 minutes before going on stage when they asked her to sing. She listened to the rehearsal tape, and said “This is going to be fun” and then had less than 2 minutes before going on stage.
This is one of the reason why I stopped paying classical trombone. I always wanted to make it my own, and everyone wanted me to recreate something from the past.
The song fit for a Queen.
CAN YOU PLEASE BREAK DOWN CALLIE DAY SINGING Amen??? PLEASEEEEEEEE
Her live 1968 performance of "Night Life" is like a high for me.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 👸🏽👸🏽👸🏽👸🏽
Would love to hear you perform this
How can I contact you ? You’re the business for real !!!!!! Old school talented ❤
Queen Aretha sang that song.
As i recall Pavarotti had a heart attack 1 or 2 days before Grammys. I vaguely remember that she was asked at the GRAMMYS backstage less than an hour before going on…AND DID NOT KNOW THE LYRICS👈🏽👀
She will always and forever be THE QUEEN 👑
She knew the lyrics. She had performed it a few days earlier at another event but had to sing it in the key Luciano, the orchestra and background singers had it set for as there was no time for them to change anything. She simply made it HERS and sang it HER way. Beautifully!
Jaron, can you react to Evvie? SHE'S AMAZAING. I think there will be quite a lot of things you can point out. She sang in the same show as Vincent, The Four.
And I just wanna say I always enjoy watching your analysis videos, they're fun and informative. Thank you for making such good videos. ❤❤❤
Aretha stepped in 45 mins. Literally last min. She was that great.
No one else could do it like this and instantly kill it! The GOAT 🐐
Her best version of Nessun Dorma was at Festival of Families. This was a great version, but I like the other one better. I hope you look that one up and let us know what you think of the queen doing her thing.
