NEW MUSIC: ARETHA FRANKLIN & FANTASIA - “LET ME PUT YOU UP ON GAME”
Thursday, September 20, 2007

Aretha Franklin feat. Fantasia - Let Me Put You Up On Game
I love it. Honestly, I always have an affinity for Aretha Franklin’s new material. This is a nice duet, and their voices really do compliment eachother. I can’t even hate on the subject matter, either, it’s really cute. Aretha’s been through it all before, so she’s trying to school Fantasia and “put her up on game.” So since there’s new music, that must mean there’s a new album in store for Aretha Franklin. The album is titled Jewels In the Crown: All Star Duets with The Queen. It will feature duets with music legends, as well as some of today’s hottest voices and brightest stars. Jewels will have duets with Mary J. Blige, John Legend, the late Luther Vandross and many more.
Make sure you check for “Let Me Put You Up On Game,” which will impact radio officially October 1. Also, Jewels In the Crown: All Star Duets with The Queen will hit stores November 13, so make sure you give the Queen her props and show some respect.

That extremely photoshopped pic of Fantasia looks absolutely ridiculous. They shaved about 20 pounds off of that girl.

Now that’s what you call passing the torch! Fantasia is worthy. If anyone should be playing the Queen in a movie it gotta be Tasia, Faith Evans or Jasmin (formally of Jive). J Hud ain’t quite ready for prime time.

FYI First to the two comments about Fantasia’s photo, this was taken around February or March when she did THE COLOR PURPLE adds and autoron for Broadway, trust me you will see a beautiful Fantasia, and Aretha at the time of the video, she is till training .(You guys lay off of Fantasia she has worked hard from day one go to yahoo and see hom much work this girl has really put in,and they don’t even have any most recent stuff posted, I did not know she had done somany mag covers in the past). She has a great future it’s time we blacks stopped being so critical of her.) Stop selling your girl so cheap Aretha and Oprah are no fools and don’t endorse losers or mediocre people.
Angel and Brian I am loving this too, sounds like soul is coming back their voices blend so well, I am really liking it can’t stop listening to it.You are right good song we all can identify with it! Guys too!, cause sometimes they won’t listen either. (USHER)!!!!!!
Thanks for posting.
God Bless Fantasia and Aretha on this release as well as the others involved in this project.

This is actually the first song by Fantasia that I actually LIKE!!!! They sound great together. I love the concept. I love the vibe. I love the way they actually sing (not just yell) but sing on this one. ^5 I dig it.

Fantasia is about the only popular contemporary singer these days that is even has the ability to take aretha on Woman to Woman…
for all the Ciaras, janets, beyonces, ashantis etc…this is true vocal ability…

ALREADY BEEN DID……Remember the duet with Aretha and Mary j. …Don’t waste your time, off her Mary C.D. I think. Anyways, the Mary and Aretha duet had more passion…..FUnktasia needs to sit her azz down somewhere….. “Uz shole iz Ugly”…..

LOVING IT!!!! R n B is back this is so good I have played it four times and still listening.
Thanks for posting some real music and the girl is only 23 she Aretha sound so grat together, mom and her daughter are doing it!!!!! Worth the wait, and you almost can’t ell Aretha from Fantasia in the end you have to listen closely, pass that torch mama.
Who says she can’t play Aretha and can probably kill all her music without lip singing. I guarantee, like Jamie did Ray Fantasia will do it and do it extremely well, from her mouth to Oprahs ears,( yes, Mam “I’ll do my best)!

As previously stated pic done in February or March of 2007 for Color Purple promo, now don’t be surprised when you see Fantasia in the video, she knows how you all have talked about her weight, braces looks and doesn’t really care etc, Please stay tuned , her career is really just beginning she has not has it as easy as others due to much criticism, but she just won’t quit, the girl is really like an ever ready battery takes a licking and keeps on ticking.. A Good soldier who is here to stay……………
Now back to the music, good job Aretha and Fantasia loving it!!

The song is nice. Aretha is and always will be the Queen of soul! Fantasia reps well for the younger generation .They sound good together .I cant wait until Arethas new album drops.She will have so many interesting duets on that album. If Aretha puts her stamp of approval on you as an artist thats always huge.

I like it!
Brian, sometimes i forget who’s song is coming out on which day. Since we come on here everyday, can you please at least give a mention to the person’s who’s cd is dropping on that day, like a reminder or something? Cause lord knows i forget. The only one i didn’t forget was Ye’s and 50, and that’s only because it dropped on 9/11, oh yeah, and all the other hype. I’d like to support more artists, but i think some of us forget the day or week the cd drops.
