Actually, if you read Aretha's book, "From These Roots", you will find lots of examples where Aretha is jealous of other singers -- particularly female singers. I was astounded when I read so much of her own book, when she said unkind things about other singers. Then, the incident when Beyonce referred to Tina Turner as "the Queen", and Aretha got angry and involved the media ... please. Beyonce wrote what was scripted. She did not refer to Tina as the Queen of Soul. Aretha does not own the title, "Queen". I love her dearly, but this has been going on for much of her life.
