I'm tired of the media taking Aretha's comments out of context. Aretha is almost almost 70 years old (born 1942) and has always spoke her mind to press when asked. However, her words are often taken the wrong way.

Everyone knows Aretha is very competitive and confident (i.e. if you ever sing on stage with her she will sing much lower than you when you go low and sing mucj higher than you when you sing higher).

In life there are room for many Kings and Queens....

Tina = the former Queen of Rock & Roll (when it was still a popular media form)

Aretha = Queen of Soul
