Turkey aren’t the only things getting roasted this Thanksgiving. Aretha Frankin is too.
The legendary diva was tapped to the perform the US National Anthem at the Vikings vs Lions NFL game today and certainly made a mark. A long one.
In a sensational move, Franklin’s rendition of ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ lasted five minutes.
Naturally, her odd take on the song (which you can watch below) ignited flames of shade on social media.
See, quite literally, what we mean below…
Twitter responded with…
Hilarious.
When one reaches the legend status Ms. Franklin enjoys, we guess they can do as they please. More power to her.

She make her own halftime show.
Twitter needs to roast their damn selves, so disrespectful.
Aretha didn’t come to play, she came to slay…and she’s fixing a good plate with some collard greens and cornbread on it…oh yes, you besta believe it lol
“U NAMEEEEE IT!!!”
Thanks for maki gone laugh this morning with your comment
They can roast all they want Aretha is more established and successful then they could ever be. She’s the original diva lol she always has made things her own.
Haha I love Aretha! Nobody can do it like her!
Is Twitter the same broke ass people sitting at home on the internet……who the hell cares about them roasting anything.
you are just as broke, but worse you have no impact, relevance , money , success nor a mere gravatar
Uhhh…a gravatar. That’s the first step to success. Having Beyoncé as a gravatar on hatejuice

.
The original “x” , “y” and “z” could never be this basic
.

Aretha sat down at her Fisher Price piano and said “This is the remix!” She sang that song word for word, note for note and left the field when she dayum well pleased lol. #Legend
lol yaaaaas
She is so annoying and overrated. #teamettajames #teamgladysknight #teamtinaturner
U never going to church in your life.
“Ignited flames of shade” …. “Quite literally”…. I don’t think you understand what “literally” means….
She’s a legend, Icon and a true diva. She can do whatever she wants!!!
This is a kii, LOL
Aretha Franklin is a name that Webster uses as an example of the word “Queen”, Twitter will deal or die!
Aretha Franklin is what Queen Mariah would be if she took her divaness seriously.
Yes Mrs Queen of Vocal. SHE IS MARRIED to that National Anthem cus she had no intentions of a quickie with it ??.
Some parts worked beautifully and other parts not quite but still excellent. I can imagine the memes set to come already.
Patti Lahelle always comes to mind. Pattie and Dionne would have lots to say.
She did that! I was here for every elongated second and stressed note. Beautiful, traditional, and organized. Loved this performance.
She better give it all she has!!
All hail the queen!
They cut to commercial, came back and she was still singing that dam song lmaoooo
#Legend #Slayretha lol
The worst in history! Her voice is now dreadful.
Lol the comments on here is funny
