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.

Good Lord people - -lets not try to call people ugly - its mean! Didn’t we do that during our elementary/middle school years. Seriously what does looks have to do with talent? Granted the hollering does wear me down at times - but it is undeniable that Fantasia CAN sing and CAN put on a show…PERIOD! Why do you think the Queen of Soul wanted her on her album..the FIRST single at that. Lets recognize those black women REGARDLESS if they’re pleasing to the eye or not (and isn’t beauty in the eye of the beholder..I think so) that are representing with ACTUAL talent. I’d take a SANGING girl like Fantasia over a a model-looking NO SINGING girl (ya’ll know who they are) ANY DAY!!! PERIOD…and I agree at the comment about Aretha and Mary on Don’t waste my time….Mary J is also featured on Aretha’s forthcoming album - - I think Don’t Waste My Time is the song…PEACE!

————————————————————————————————————
Weel u aint keepin it real by saying that shit. Why dont sit yo azz down somewhere??!! Jealous or something? U prolly a fan of half naked, hoochie high yella Beyonce. She can sing, but her music sucks ass its pop for white folks thats why she sells!
Tasia’s the best thang to come outta American Idol. Better than that stupid blonde redneck hooker Carrie Underwood who should go back to her country ass trailer and start breeding with her cousins.

Lay off of Fantasia, anyone in their right mind knows the girl can sing, and hey no disrespect to Aretha but she was no beauty gueen but she could sing and Fantasia’s talent is as real, and since she is still working in the play I think the photo is good press. ( the girl is alwys working, go to give her her props)
Good music , loving both ladies.

People hatin on ma girl Fantasia, saying that she’s ugly or cant sing r prolly some stupid lil bitches (and hoodrats in the makin) still in high school who think that Pretty Ricky, Soulja Boy, T-Pain and all the other shit out there is real music. Bitches STFU and sit down.

Bring THE REAL SINGING back ladies…let the rihannaz cassies and ciaraz be put to rest. C’mon yall we gotta start supportin our real and tru singers out here fuck image thats last but not least. REAL MUSIC COMES WITH REAL SINGING. I like the song, but im not a big fan of it, I mostly listen to music that carries a message. I congratulate these two, it feels good to hear some good singing combined with good sound, Im usually listenin to the REAL singers thats kept quiet…Teedra Moses(MY FAVE SINGER), Deemi, Emily King and my girl Amy Winehouse(she maybe goin through somethings righ now)BUT that girl has an amazin voice…For yall that dont know, I maybe a lil old on this but KELIS may not have a perfect voice, but its unique and her latest album was OFF THE CHAIN. I love her music too.

LACLADY—for real, Kelis’ albums r real good. Its so original and more than just Milkshake. Her debut album KALEIDOSCOPE—U gotta hear that hot ish. Best R&B album of 2000 and she was around when The Neptunes sounded fresh.

The Fantasia hate is very mild in here. Of course, Haters will always find their way in but you gotta admit, most of the people posting here love the song, the feedback that I’ve seen have been great. Fantasia a celeb, young and very talented so her haters will always follow. Even when she sings flawlessly without screaming, her haters are still there. Even when she gets great reviews after great reviews, her haters are still there. I say ignore them and enjoy this great song. Meanwhile as they hate Fantasia is still living her dream and cashing her checks in. How great is it for her to be collab with aretha? I know she loves this woman so she must be on cloud nine right now. Great Great Track!!!!

I love mostly all Kelis music..and you(Greatestloveofall) right her sound is Original. I was mad at the singles she decieded to bring out besides Bossy she has soo many other songs on her latest cd that would have knocked even Beyonce back. I believe the real singers and the originals are goin to one day *soon* hopefully knock all these gimmicks & copycats out the box. CL be on point with the new hot sounds, I really like this website. I cant wait for the Teedra Moses interview, Thats my girl.

Why do people always address the 1 or 2 haters in the post when virtually every comment is positive? When you give 1 or 2 negative comments the attention they want you ruin the entire post by going back and forth with them. Let them hate, the majority loves it that is all that matters, they are nobodies. Do you really think Fantasia cares have you seen her house on Cribs? ‘Nuff said.

cuz a’ youtube and daily motion I just started collecting all of her work.
Can’t wait for the album.
But really her music company or her people need to release a record of some of these live performances that are posted over on the tube and the motion.
I rather have a real cd.

Wow what a treat. I have listened to it about 20 times each time I hear something different. Miss Aretha still sounds good and Fantasia’s voice is pure GOLD, she is really doing her thing. Their voices really go well together. It’s sweet but powerful. I plan to support them by purchasing and requesting the single and buying the album. It can’t get any better than being able to sing with your idol, a legend like Aretha Franklin.
To the owners of this site, you couldn’t find a better picture to use of Fantasia? I love this picture of Fantasia but she just had a phenomenal spread in OK magazine, the pictures were lovely, you should used one of those. You all are too funny. Anyway, on the positive thank you so much for sharing this with us.

This is great music and their voices blend well together. I love me Queen and Princess of Soul. I am very proud of Fantasia and the work she is doing.
I wish the death mute with the hearing aide that said they are screaming would turn the volume down on their hearing aide and listen to the smooth melody of the song. I think the volume on the hearing aide is to high. As for the internet “HO” that said Fantasia is ugly, she/he or whatever it is needs to look into a mirror before making comments. You might think Tasia is ugly because you are looking at your reflection in the mirror. Stop hating and go get your broke behind a job. .

DON'T HATE AND STOP GETTING IT TWISTED ABOUT FANNY
Friday, September 21, 2007 /
LOVING IT AND IT IS A HIT……I DON’T CARE HOW BIG BEYONCE HAS GOTTEN BEYONCE IS NOT THE QUEEN AND ANOTHER THING YOU YOUNG FOLK MAY NOT KNOW ARETHA HAS A VERY BROAD WHITE AUDIENCE SHE IS LOVED AND HONORED BY MANY.
LET ME ADD THIS, SOME OF YOU YOUNGSTERS DON’T KNOW THAT ONE OF THE REASONS MANY OF THE OLD SCHOOL ARTISTS LOVE FANTASIA SO MUCH IT IS BECAUSE OF HER HUMILITY AND RESPECT FOR THEM SHE DOES NOT ACT LIKE A DIVA,SHE TREATS THEM AS THOUGH THEY WERE HERE BEFORE AND NOT LIKE SHE HAS ARRIVED AND THEY LOVE HER FOR THAT, OPRAH SAYS SHE IS THE ONLY YOUNG ENTERTAINER WHO HAS EVER CALLED HER MS.OPRAH AND NOT BECAUSE SHE ASKED HER TO BUT BECAUSE SHE HERSELF HONORS AND RESPECTS HER ELDERS.
THIS ALONE WILL TAKE HER A LONG WAY,EVEN CLIVE SAYS THE SAME THING AND HE LOVES HER CONTRARY TO WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID,AND SHE GENUINELY LOVES ARETHA,SHE REALLY CALLS HER (MAMA),SO THIS RECORDING IS NOT ABOUT FAME AND FORTUNE,BUT GENUINE LOVE BETWEEN WOMEN WHO ARE BOTH FULFILLING THEIR DESTINYS.
ABOUT THE PIC, FANNY DOESN’T CARE WHAT YOU SAY SHE IS WORKING IT….ADVERTISING THE COLOR PURPLE WHICH IS WHAT SHE IS STILL DOING.ALL I REALLY SEE ARE THE WORDS ON THE SHIRT, THIS PLAY HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BIGGEST BLESSINGS IN HER LIFE AND SHE IS NOT ASHAMED AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOUR COMMENTS.
140.
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
Friday, September 21, 2007 /
To the person with the Beyonce and Justin comment,what you trying to say these lyrics don’t apply to white folk????? maybe someone should have put Britney spears up on the game and she wouldn’t be in the mess she’s in, right and as the previous poster said Aretha is known and loved by many of all races and many old school whites with money will buy because it’s Aretha,you must be under 25,because you better recognize, we will never put Bey above the Queen this lady as well as others paved the way for these young folk,she has more than paid her dues and we honor her for that,and another thing most of you young folks are caught up in looks,but when soul was soul,it was not about looks with Gladys,Patti,Tina, or even Aretha as far as looking like Bey,but they could blow and that was real singing, and we are glad its back.,Props to Fantasia,for putting in the work and accomplishing so much.Anybody out there agree.
Oh, the song is off the chain and a BIG HIT!!!!

No, she didn’t make the paper, but there are those of us who still honor and respect her for paving the way, I think that is all th poster was saying. There is enough to go around fore allof them and I don’t think it was made to compete with Bey once or Justin, these two ladies realy love ach other and it is labor of real love and it is Arethas contribution to Fantasia for all of her hard work
You may not know this but Aretha has waited for years for someone to mentor, and pass the torch too!
This relationship is not just money and certainly not hype, if Fantasia never got anything for this she is so blessed and thankful just for the opportunity, you all clearly do not know this very gifted young lady, her attitude is nothing like Beyonces and Justin she is so thankful for what God has done for her and her family she is jsu glad to be working and singing as well as acting because this is all she knows and loves to do.
Yes, this is r & b, but Aretha is KNOWN and LOVED by many whites, I am one of them, and have supported her for years and now support Fantasia. by the way ii am in the industry and will do all i can to help them both be successful, so what about your white folk theory now?
PHILIPPIANS 413 What’s up…keep praying for our ladies of soul!
