Aretha Franklin Singing Actually Made President Obama Cry (Video)

by Eitan Levine

ARETHA'S PIPES TURNED OUR NATION'S PRESIDENT INTO A BAG OF TEARS!

I'm not 100 percent certain what the Kennedy Center Honors is or why I wasn't invited, but Aretha Franklin absolutely murdered it with her rendition of “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman.”

She sang and there were no survivors.

President Obama had some sort of emotional breakthrough like half a minute in; Lord only knows how he was doing by the end of the song. Don't even get me started on how Carole King took the whole event. This video is like a third just watching her absolutely lose her dang sh*t during Aretha's performance.

LOOK AT THIS GIF OF CAROLE KING DURING THAT PERFORMANCE!

More Aretha. MORE ARETHA.
