The MTV Video Music Awards plans on honoring the legacy of Aretha Franklin ? they?re just not sure how they will do it.
The VMAs will air live Monday (Aug. 20). Show executive producer Jesse Ignjatovic tells the Associated Press on Friday that his team is ?working on a lot of different options.?
Franklin, who was 76, died Thursday at her home in Detroit from pancreatic cancer.
Ignjatovic says he?s working to find ?the right tone and the right artist? to properly pay tribute to the Queen of Soul.
He adds: ?Whether it?s a performance or spoken ? just something that?s organic and done in a way that feels tonally right because it?s Aretha Franklin.?
The VMAs will be held at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
Cccccccc
This will be a mess
They are gonna fuck this all the way up :overit:
Watch it be Jennifer Hudson or Tori Kelly :dead:
They need to wait. Why do tributes need to be right away if it?s gonna be a thrown together ass fool? Give the real singers that revere her, a chance to actually rehearse and do her justice.
Not this next day mess and they ain?t even put her in the dirt yet

I?ll never forgive BET for that MJ mess
No one who attends the VMAs is Aretha tribute worthy.
:whogonbook:
nnnhdn
I can't imagine their demo caring about a damn Aretha tribute.
But if they're set on this just get Kelly Clarkson or maybe J. Dud.
We don't want no white bitches singing the queen of soul music okay ? MTV never really acknowledged Aretha when she was alive, now they want to capitalize off her death? I hate white people. I'm so glad to be free of them. And the fact that I had sex with ome, for years, makes me wanna puke.

And they about to get a whole bunch mediocre ass Becky?s to do it. I?d rather them chill out and act accordingly.

Not trying to string a tribute up in 2 days
This is gonna be like that BET MJ shit
There?s about 7 singers I?d call for an Aretha tribute. No flops.
We need people to tune in. Adele would fucking MURK ?Ain?t no Way? with some bitch in the background doing the highs. Accccck

She definitely IS that girl. Please. If there?s one thing she does is fucking SING and EMOTE.
Adele's vocal range is waaaaaaay to limited for a song like Aint No Way. Let's not forget how she fucked up that performance at the Grammys when she has to go up there. Even when she performs Someone Like U, she can't even hit that note in the chorus; she's always dodging notes. Aint No Way in hell she can hit that C6 in chest voice at the climax of the song.

No one is singing it like Aretha period.. But Adele would sound amazing doing Arethas part and someone else taking over Cissys operatic portion.
plea'
Adull butchered a George Michael song on live tv
She can stay home

Adele would ruin her voice singing Aint No Way. I think she's a good choice for another song like Natural Woman which aint so vocally challenging. And I dont see her doing a tribute at the VMAs. Maybe that Clive Davis show or the Grammys next yr.

Like Truth Hurts will continue to do unless a Lumidee tribute is needed anytime soon

Kelly is only showing up to Aretha's funeral for the food

Not Adele with the way her vocal chords be damaged every 5 minutes.
MTV ain?t fuck with Aretha like that or soul music for all that matters. So no need to fake now.
Do a montage and let Mary J intro cause she?s the closes artsit musically to Aretha that MTV actually supported.

On second thought. Yeah, let her do it
(https://uploadir.com/u/gc4ymphw)
Also anything less than having a live band, piano and an orchestra for any Aretha tribute should be against the law.
Who besides Adele would y'all pick for "Hurts like Hell" ? :stressed:
The girls are starting to audition

alright Syleena
If done hope its right
They're gonna get Celine to sing "Natural Women"
I best not see any fucking white hoe on that stage.
A montage will do fine if that?s the best they can do on short notice.
They should just leave this alone and do a moment of silence and move on
