I SAW FIVE SHOWS ARETHA FRANKLIN DEAD

I saw five shows Aretha Franklin dead I saw five shows that a recent lead. On my second time I was so blessed to be able to meet her briefly while she signed a sign that I had made to hang over the balcony that’s a queen of soul. She is the most gracious woman I have ever seen on this earth kind and gentle full of love but don’t you come near her to cross her no don’t do that lol. A woman with grace and tenacity is a great star planet I feel so privileged to have lived during the time when she was so very popular right up until the time that she passed I never met a woman with such grace and tenacity her determination to conquer the music world came from her soul literally the queen of soul was the queen of soul for that very reason you’ll always be missed sweet Ree Ree, But you will forever be loved. Until we meet again God dressed now God dressed now.

ARETHA'S SB CONCERT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER

The opening act was clearly a comic who was not vetted & out of her league. She was unprepared and lost the audience within 20 min only generating applause when she left the stage. Aretha got started at least 35 min late. The most surprising thing was there were not back up singers and a lot of her songs just don't sound right without them. "Jump To It" didn't happen because of that. She held her own on piano solos with long sets that would tire most 70 + performers. Overall I give the show a C plus. The 12 piece orchestra was great but not as effective as it could have been without secondary vocals. It seemed as though the show was thrown together at the last minute and Central Coast concert goers deserve better

ARETHA FRANKLIN AT RAVINIA SEPT. 3RD

Aretha Franklin is one of the most beloved artists of our time. Her fans came out for that reason and were very responsive to her performance which was good but very low key. She performed mostly ballads. She shared with the audience her health battle within a spiritual which was beautiful.
