In reply to S****** Blonde.

Your comment is heavily invalid since Aretha is Whitney's inspiration and blueprint. Whitney did have a huge impact on the African American community, but it was only because Aretha built the frame so Whitney could install the windows. Aretha is not overrated. She has influenced every singer in history whether they know it or not. Just bc a singer isn't too your liking doesn't mean you can dismiss their impact or success. That my dear is pure ignorance in the highest degree.

SN: Every diva is reinvented each generation. From those before Aretha, to reinvention by Diana, then donna, then Whitney, then Mariah, then Beyoncé, the yes even Rihanna, now Ariana and it will keep going. I don't get why you all throw such shade with no facts, only opinion.
