Aretha Franklin was a little upset after Beyoncé Knowles introduced Tina Turner as “the queen” in the Grammy Awards. Clearly, Ms. Franklin wasn’t just singing to hear, her own voice when she recorded “Respect” all those years ago. She meant it then and, she means it now.

The controversy caused a huge stir in Search as interest in all three divas hit a high note. After she made her displeasure known, queries on Aretha (the real queen, FYI) surged 220%.
