Selfish? Aretha Franklin snubs Whitney Houston's funeral, performs concert hours later

Written By Alfred Haynes on Sunday, February 19, 2012 | Sunday, February 19, 2012


When you really love someone, you make sacrifices, no matter how much it hurts... but don't tell that to Aretha Franklin.

Franklin, the Queen of Soullessness, claimed "leg spasms" kept her from attending Whitney Houston's funeral Saturday at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey, according to various news reports.

But her (phony?) health issues didn't stop her from performing at Radio City Music Hall hours after Whitney's "home going", or the day before.

On February 17, 2012, Franklin screeched out an ear-bursting version of Whitney Houston's rendition of "The Greatest Love of All" at Radio City Music Hall.

The song was supposed to be a tribute to Whitney.

If making money was more important than attending her "god daughter's" funeral, Franklin should have just have just said so!

Some people tend to never stick together and are all about the money, even when money is not needed!

Whitney looked so classy. In life she was giving everything, love, family, money, fame, great looks and true and rare talent. What was she angry about? I guess she had so much given to her that she had to make up her own problems. Whitney was her own worst enemy! She was so selfish and rarely gave back considering how much was given to her! Selfish and self destructive Whitney! What a waste of so much good given to the wrong person! Most of us have to work so hard just to be able to have a speck of the great enormous fortune that selfish Whitney was given, just to see Whitney throw it away with both hands like it was a disease! I guess as people is very rare to appreciated good fortune unless you work for it! But at her age, being a middle aged women, she should have know a lot better! Yet she continued on her self absorbed destructive path. Denying the world of the enrichment of her talent! If there true karma in the afterlife, Whitney is in real trouble... well deserved! Selfish people like Whitney deserves no less! As Whitney marrying a bad boy, well, that was her own decision and is only a clear reflection of what her character and self worth was really made of. Any great man of substance from any where in the world and from any race, would have been honored to marry a classy and talented women like what Whitney appeared to be but was simply not! She was in the best position to be choosy, again, a position that most women could only dare to dream of having. But what Whitney appeared to be was not who she really was. Her aunt Dionne was the same, classy on the outside and tasteless on the inside. Let this be a lesson to us all, to use the blessings that we are given, because if much is given, much is expected! As humans is our responsibility, regardless of any or no religious belief, only as humans. Enormous talent in the wrong hands!
