NEW MUSIC: ARETHA FRANKLIN & FANTASIA - “LET ME PUT YOU UP ON GAME”

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.

“Beyonce and Justin is also coming out with a duet..not sure it this can overtake Beyonce and Justin’s but, we will see, ”
OMG, I can’t believe someone would make this type of statement. How old are you, about 12? Seriously, how can you compare the Queen of Soul singing with the Princess of Soul to Justin and Beyonce?
This is NOT about them, this is about real singers, legendary and future legend putting out a very solid r & b ballad. Ain’t nothing Beyonce or Justin can do but sit back and take notes.
I’m just happy the Queen picked Talent instead of Hype to do this fabulous duet with. Really not trying to dis beyonce but I’m tired of folks bringing up people who have nothing to do with the song just to change the conversation to people you like. When Justin and Beyonce’s song comes out then talk about it. Personally, I won’t be listening to it because neither of them sing as good as these two.

I LUV this song and of course I luv me some Fantasia. I’m so glad her dreams are coming true because she truly deserves it. Aretha is holding it down on this one. People just ignore the ignorance of the haters, that’s their job. Let’s just continue to support these two TALENTED ladies and shake them haters off. They just mad cause their asses are broke and bored.

First I am pleasantly surprised that the song is very good. I was afraid that it might be a bit of a mess..not because they can’t sing…but because the material that people are singing these days leave a lot to be desired. Good Job Fantasia and Aretha.
Second, come on people, we can see the picture is photoshoped, but really who cares. The fact is these two can sing and sound great together and the message was one that we can all relay to our young men and women who are coming of age. Please stop the silly banter about photoshopping…and if you don’t like the song….there is a simple solution…don’t listen…Try something else that suit your taste

This song is good.. and god knows I have been a fan of Retha since I was born.
I hear nothing innovative here though… sound is just like 10 years ago (soundtrack of waiting to exhale f.e;) Sound has not evolved in any way..
Another miss, sadly, in my eyes for Aretha

This is like the remix of the Trey Songz joint where she gives advice or the joint Lauryn wrote for her with Elise Neal and Faith in the video. The song is hot but Re Re has done this so many times before. Oh yeah, twice with Mary Blige.

I love Aritha & my baby Fantasia. Fantasia proves she is the real thing.You guys cannot compare Beyonce with Fantasia, Beyonce cannot sing like fantasia. Beyonce can sing but it is her looks that capture the media. Did you see Dream Girl? Beyonce voice wasn’t too powerful. Fantasia is a better singer. Fantasia sings from her heart and she makes the audience feel the music.

I know you are proud of you baby (Lizzie), smile.
Her real fans love her and we are so proud of her and as someone wrote on youtube that if they put a picture next to the word survivor then it woud be Fantasias picture. Beyonce and Fantasia come from different places also, people accept Beyonce because she loks like white America and fits the industry profile, and most blacks hate their own kind. Fantasia has had to work hard for everything, in the midst of much hate and severe criticism.Even this blog critcized and hated her so much and before The Color Purple they dogged her out so the pic here is also in your faces she has proved you all wrong. With Gods help she is doing it succeeding against all odds.
Aretha is the Queen and Beyonce or anyone else can’t change that, we honor and respect Aretha.
Good song and this collaboration with Aretha is another deam come true for Fantasia, now please go figure!!!!!

I really like this and I read some place that Aretha and Fantasia have a real relationship, so I pray a special blessing over this project because it seems as though this goes beyond just music, buisness and publicity it seems this is a lbor of love, Aretha you are the Queen and I really pray people would really give Fantasia her props too this girl has really worked hard and she can really sing,I know its her looks that have held he back so sad.Well I am for you and this song will pick the album up!!!! and Fantasia I support you and I am very proud of you.

After scanning the Loop today now we know why they kept mentioning the Justin And Bey duet we thought it was some of Beys people now we know it was, drooping hits (the competiton makes us sick). Bey just loves to compete with people, and this all this collaberation with Justin is and she sang over his tracks.
Aretha and Fantasia put in time and work on this collaberaion and it is not the same, it is so obvious to all now how Beyonce and tha Knowles clan really is and we know for certain now she does not like Fantasia’s vocal ability,we knew the Knowles did not want Fanny in Dreamgirls.
But Beyonce to go up against the Queen, we are going to support Aretha and Fantasia because you or your family ain’t right girl.
Just had to say this, because we see the truth.
Beyonce & Justin on behalf of Aretha and Fantasia we say God Bless you Justin on your new release.
It has become an industry of greed and power, Fantasia listen to Aretha and the other real pros and stay away from the mess, because what God has for you is for you.

Oh, forgot to ask Fantasia whe is the duet with Reuben coming, I know the Concreteloop people may not like him, but he is our homeboy and we heard he wanted to do a duet with you. I actually prefer him better than Neyo???? (i know this is off of the subject but had to ask while fresh on my mind)
Good luck Aretha and Fantasia.
