You Know, Until I Watched This Clip I Had No Idea It Was Possible to Sing Without Auto-tuning!
You've probably seen this Aretha Franklin performance from this week's Kennedy Center Honors show (for Carole King) by now...
I was wishing I could magically appear in front of Carole King so I could tell her to stop overreacting, until I realized I was doing the same thing.
ReplyDeleteHeh.

If that doesn't get you choked up, you must be dead.
ReplyDeletei'm not dead, but i'm more choked up about all the dead animals in that big ass fur coat than i am about the singing.
ReplyDeleteBest RuPaul episode evah! Aretha Franklin... Shante, you stay! Everybody else go on and Sashay away! She already done had hers!
ReplyDeleteHmmm... never thought this type of schtick was in your wheelhouse Simels, but then you have been around a loooooong time.
