U know divine? I thought he was just a uk thing? That dude was hilairious. I bet that was pete burns' idol or something (pete burns was in a "group" called dead or alive, he looks like a woman and now i keep hearing the re-release 80's pop track "u spin me right round" in plebby clubs at the mo', its a fun track)

You all are going to hell for calling her URETHRA! LOL

CalhounSq said:

Hell, the back of her neck looks like a pack of hot links. Let me shut up.

ya know you could go back & fix that spelling.

DynamicSavior said:

To Aretha, hot links are nothing but tic-tacs.

When she goes to the ladies room, alarms probably go off - "Clear the area!!!!"

CalhounSq said:

this is dying to be captioned!!

i'm laughing to hard to think of anything at the moment.

It is actually down to a health issue. Don't want to go into it too much...let's just say I heard about it a few years ago from a well known jazz singer first hand.

I'm worried about her. She's a prime candidate for a Stroke. Diabetes or Heart disease. She needs to lose weight and get healthy right away before it's too late. She should also stop wearing clothes that show every roll, sag and everything else.

Maybe she just wants to get laid.

OK, i'll play party pooper.

Not to mention that this has nothing to do with MUSIC, but i'm wondering if this was your mom would you be carrying on like this?

Yes.

I LOVE Aretha, but I just dont hope she shortens her life by not caring about the weight..
I think it was Big Pun that had the last 'artist' death for weight.

I agree wholeheartedly. If anything a lot of this isn't so comical as it is alarming to see har far people will go with some of the things they'll say just to get a laugh. I know the org is infamous for a little lighthearted celebrity nudging here and there, but geez!

Oh lighten up. I'm concerned about her weight too, and wish she'd do something. But damn, her explanations are lame.

sinisterpentatonic said:

Oprah: So if I eat everything on this counter, my tits will hang out to here too?

Aretha: That's riiiiight, O! Next I'll show you how to get your hair like mine

Thanks for the effort. I tried to poop on this party a couple of pages back. The sad thing here is that if something does happen to Aretha, heaven forbid. Every last one of these jokesters will be up in here singing her praises without a thought of her weight.

As Digital Underground would so eloquently put it:

"Don't wait til the heartbeat stops, go on and give the woman her props!"

Her musical legacy will always outweigh her physical weight! So again I really must say to those that didn't seem to understand the first time:

Show some damn R-E-S-P-E-C-T!!!

I have to admit,this thread sorta makes me uncomfortable,and I am ashamed that I partipated in some of the jokes I love Aretha.I've been a fan since 1974.I'm pretty sure that everyone who posted on this thread is somewhat of a fan,and like me,they are concerned/alarmed for her.

But,I really wish that she should take her weight more seriously.She's really putting her life at risk and I am extremely worried for her.As someone pointed out,she is a prime candidate for diabetes,stroke,and heart disease.We've lost too many of our R&B legends recently and I don't wanna add the Queen of Soul to that list!

DavidEye said:

I love Aretha too, but we can't lose the weight for her. If she doesn't get it together, she's putting her life at risk.

uPtoWnNY said:

I pray that the people close to her (family,friends) are encouraging her to seek help in losing the weight.

Over eating is an addiction, too.....and all kinds of things can cause people to gain weight - depression, certain medical conditions and the medicines associated with it, physical limitations keeping one from exercising....I have watched too many people through my life battle addictions of various sorts - it ain't funny.
