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.

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

No one who attends the VMAs is Aretha tribute worthy.

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.
