Aretha Franklin

The queen of soul is not doing well according to a new story.

From Beyoncé to the Beatles.

'I feel very, very enriched and satisfied with respect to where my career came from, and where it is now,' Franklin told a Detroit broadcast.

Aretha Franklin dominated the stage at the Kennedy Center Honors slaying her classic song "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman." The Queen of Soul even made President Obama cry.

Aretha Franklin is undoubtedly the Queen of Soul, a living legend, a true vocal talent. So it only made sense that she was asked her opinion of the current crop of pop girls during her interview with the Wall Street Journal. Her answers for some (Adele, Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys) were positive, fair judgments. Her reaction to others, however -- not so kind.
