Aretha, honey, don't EVER let anyone take a picture of you unless you are in full makeup!!!

C'mon guys she is an old woman... give her break. She paid her dues to look any kind of way she wants to look and its not like the photo is for a magazine shoot. Chaka looks lovely

Aretha is a national treasure and she would be impossible to replace. I value her over any R& B bimbo, fake thug rapper/ R& B chart topper.

Not much respect for legends nowadays Tina is nearly 73 she was ridiculed for having cellulite

Aretha looks better now than a few years ago, Chaka is looking great but she is sill kinda young

Plus she IS 70 so I don't get the initial comments but go for what you know I guess.

Sad statement about the sexist and age-ist state of modern society in America when women aren't allowed to grow old naturally without ridicule... We simply can't look the way we did when we were young forever...and that's the way it is. Ridiculous.

Yeah Mick Jagger and Keith Richards could look as old as Methuselah and all they'll say is "they still got it" but let a woman get older and it's "aw how tragic, they used to...look so sexy." And people hold on to how they looked in their heyday. I mean seriously do people think Ree was gonna look like this forever?

Please!

It's not that she looks old, but Aretha looks sick in that pic-that is what concerns me.

She looks like she did when she first came out of that surgery with Jesse Jackson. So I chalk that up to old age and from whatever surgery she had that caused her the problems she had in the first place.

Seriously, what counts at Aretha's age is HEALTH--not what she looks like with or without make-up, with or without a wig... I applaud her for losing weight, paying more attention to her health, for her ability to still perform, and mostly for still being here!

Exactly. And the fact she can still perform as well at her age should be inspiration, not as a joke.

Yup. I hope for her sake she continues on for a long time.

Reet could take a sloppy shit on my chest and still look gorgeous... i would fight to the death to defend that lady's honour

She's a beautiful woman and an inspiration for millions across the world, but this photo is not a good photo of her. Perhaps she was tired or something?

Judging by that church-fan she has by her left side, it was probably very hot in that room, with no air-conditioning.

It's called AGE--people get tired and they don't look their best--ask my Dad.

Hahaha that's very true. But there are old women who look fresh even when they're older, but you're right. I think she must have had a bad day or something lol.
