Aretha Franklin Feels Dis-R-E-S-P-E-C-T-ed by Beyonce

Aretha is pissed at Beyonce for calling Tina Turner "the queen" during her intro of Turner at the Grammys on Sunday. Beyonce's introduction went like this:

"There is one legend who has the essence of all of those things: the glamour, the soul, the passion, the strength, the talent. Ladies and gentlemen. Stand on your feet and give it up for the queen."

The reaction, straight from Franklin's mouth:

"I am not sure of whose toes I may have stepped on or whose ego I may have bruised between the Grammy writers and Beyonce, however, I dismissed it as a cheap shot for controversy."

Controversy??? And no disrespect to Ms. Franklin, but nowadays she's about as relevant as a word processor.

And by the way, when I think of who the real queen is - I don't think of Tina Turner OR Aretha Franklin. I think more of:


"Leave Beyonce alone, Urethra!!! Leave Beyonce alooooone!!!"

Oh yeah and this queen too:


I know what you're doing in your spare time, Bert. (Or should I say "Bertha?")
