Members Vee Posted August 31, 2018 Members Share Posted August 31, 2018 Aretha was apparently a fan of Ariana Grande and they socialized, so I guess that's why she's on there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 31, 2018 Members Share Posted August 31, 2018 Also, Aretha Franklin was a very sharp woman who no doubt knows that a popular artist who can sing will bring a certain demographic, making it more likely that there will be a multi-generational audience. Do people not believe that Auntie ReRe wants ratings for her church service? I saw some of the names on that seating list and whew!! Ms. Franklin wants all eyes to be on her home-going ceremony, believe that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xtr Posted August 31, 2018 Members Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) I had saw that some people were surprised that Faith Hill was going to be at her service. But I definitely believe she reached/inspired a lot of different artists and probably were friends with a lot of them as well. Also, they are showing her whole service on HLN for any of you guys who have that channel. I think it's going to be a very lovely service and I am glad that a lot of people are celebrating her life.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 31, 2018 Members Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'm actually not surprised that Faith Hill is there. Faith Hill and Tim McGraw have been pretty popular across a wide swath of people, including many Black people. Remember that joke about Faith Evans and Faith Hill doing a duet? A lot of people genuinely want that to happen, for good reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted August 31, 2018 Members Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) I was working at a country radio station when Faith Hill broke out. She's always been very open about drawing inspiration from diverse sources, especially blues and soul artists.

Members Faulkner Posted August 31, 2018 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2018 (edited) Lots of shade being thrown at Faith Hill’s performance. She was clearly very nervous and couldn’t hear herself over the choir. Edited August 31, 2018 by Faulkner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 31, 2018 Members Share Posted August 31, 2018 Yeah, she was nervous but even more, she was struggling to be heard above the choir, LOL. Someone tweeted, "I love Ariana, but she better be warmed up before she gets out there!"
