OK...Halle Berry REALLY could play the young Aretha. Back in the early 60's when she first hit the scene, Aretha was about the size Halle is and had the same short haircut as Halle.

wow, really? she's fat?
have ANY of you people considered that being skinny isn't always the most important thing?
just because she's gained a few pounds doesn't mean she's not healthy. you can be skinny and not healthy. so fuck off assholes

I think they should use both JHud and Halle, cuz Aretha is so fat that it will take both of them to make a half Aretha. Wonder who they'll get to play the other half?

Quit bashing her just because she's overweight! It doesn't matter what she looks like, she's still the queen of soul!!

Aretha Franklin? Are we speaking of the same Aretha Franklin that thinks that it is okay not to pay her landscapers and anyone else that she hires? Please...who cares.

CC I give you your props for not disrespecting Lane..Im glad you the only one that is!
LANE how in the hell is your dumbass going to get one this site trying to sound smart but like like a jackal..What has she contributed?? You better do more than google and go to your next door neighbors gouse and ask to borrow their A-TRACKS..CASSETTE TAPES..CDS...and not to mention the DVDS...(that movie the blues brothers and many others) That beautiful black diva..is none other than MRS. Franklin herself..So the next time you try to make a funny in front of the public think about how much of an ass your making yourself look before you post!~
*and if your wondering HELL YEA im upset when garbage like you gets on sites like this and act as if they dont know..Bitch dont act!

I don't even know how to respond to that quote, except....
Latex...lots of latex for Halle, but even if they packed that on her she still can't sing...she would have to lip-sync !
Aretha Franklin the "Queen Of Soul" can request whoever she damn well pleases to play her ! As we bow down !
