Ree Ree sets Fantasia straight Last week, Fantasia Barrino let it be known that she stayed home from the Grammy Awards ceremony rather than sit and watch an Aretha Franklin tribute in which she wasn't invited to participate. Well, word got back to Franklin, who sent the following response to USA TODAY's Lifeline Live: "I was sorry to hear that Fantasia was upset because she did not get the opportunity to participate in my Grammy Tribute this year. I recall that in the past, Fantasia participated in both my MusicCares Person of the Year Tribute and my United Negro College Fund Tribute. Fantasia is still young in the business and although we all love and appreciate her she must understand that in this business of show business she will not always get to participate in everything she would like participate in. I'm sure it was not an intentional omission. I will see Fantasia over the summer here in Detroit." | |

And that's all that needs to be said on the matter. The Queen has spoken. I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

To be honest though, and Aretha set it totally correct, but to be a little bit more HONEST here with Fantasia, the grammy's werent even considering you, it wasnt a snub, you werent on their minds? i mean you werent even on your labels mind why would you be on the grammy committee?

i thought ms. franklin was very kind in calling fantasia out in this way, as she did not have to. an elder speaking to the youth- this is how it's done, folks. | |

Excuse me? Fanatsia did win Best R&B vocal performance for her hit song "Bittersweet" So it wouldn't have been out of place to invite her in that sorry of a Grammy tribute to Re Re...Jennifer Hudson has a cool voice. But its like watching paint dry watching her perform. She is a double drag bore.....
"I will see Fantasia over the summer here in Detroit." Aretha will straighten her out quick at this meeting... will ALWAYS think of like a "ACT OF GOD"! N another realm. mean of all people who might of been aliens or angels.if found out that wasn't of this earth, would not have been that surprised. R.I.P. | |

Yep, and it won't be politically correct either. Aretha will straighten her simple ass out, like my mama did when I acted the fool. | |

I haven't seen a more skillful, gracious and constructively critical statement by an authority figure in some time. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

I didn't know Aretha had it in her to address another female without cutting a bitch. "Lack of home training crosses all boundaries." | |

Basically, she said "sit yo yellin' ass down" "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." | |

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

OMG! That is hilarious I never seen that one before. But yeah, she read her well. And that was just the public version. Wait until she see her in Detroit. That's the version I'd love to hear. Hopefully Fantasia takes heed to whatever Ms. Franklin has to say to her. She really could use some wise counsel. | |

No she didn't. Due to age, weight and health, a doctor would not perform gastric bypass. It would be too much for her heart.
