Aretha Performs One Of Mariah’s Songs

The Queen Of Soul Aretha Franklin performed her rendition of Mariah’s “Touch My Body” the other night at a concert in Washington, D.C.  She put on quite the show and it was obviously done for fun.  This isn’t the first time she’s performed it either!  Take a listen, she really does have a fantastic voice.

She has joined Madonna and Alanis Morissette in ensuring that her fans break a sweat at her concerts - because of her gripping fear of air conditioning.

She left quite a few of her celebrity fans including Christie Brinkley and Rosie Perez in a sweat at her New York concert this past August.  The New York Post reported that she turned up the heat despite it being a steaming summer because she was ‘prompted by fears the coolant would destroy her sultry voice.”

A source told the newspaper: “Even Aretha’s security was complaining about the heat in the car on the way to the concert.”

  • Whoa, dude!! Ms. Aretha has still go, an abundants of talent. Like they've always said about her, there really isn't anything she can't sing. Her rendition of Mariah Carey's lyrics are very soulful. I've never seen anyone, not even the person she wrote it, have that much fun with it....impressive...in fact, very impressive.
