Madonna’s Aretha Franklin Tribute Draws Heat (Rolling Stone)
In the wake of Aretha Franklin’s death last week, it was expected that the VMAs would pay tribute to the soul legend. MTV tapped Madonna to give a speech, but the pop singer immediately garnered criticisms online for making the tribute more about herself than about Franklin. Madge recounted a story of auditioning for French record producers, singing Franklin’s “You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman.” Madonna didn’t get the job she was going for, but it ultimately led to her career as a solo artist. Interesting story, just not really about Aretha Franklin.
