1. Finally someone who doesn’t suck up to Ariana like everyone else

   • Yesss ..you are so right

   • SharneeNKOTBSB I know right

   • SharneeNKOTBSB
     Why would SMOKEY bow to ARIANA? WERE HER PARENTS EVEN BORN WHEN HE STARTED SINGING???
     CLASS AND DECORUM MY PEOPLE!!!!

   • I agree 💯

   • SharneeNKOTBSB I don’t

2. Mr. Robinson is a man of a certain age he’s straight no chase and he has no time to mince words … I love older people they keep it 100%

   • What you said…

   • +PITTSBURGH GIRL lisa ROXXI sandoval USA! ALL THE WAY!!! 🥧 ALSO, INSTEAD OF BEING GRACIOUS AND RESPECTFUL TO ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGERS AND ACTIVISTS OF ALL TIME WHO PAVED THE WAY FOR MANY, MS. GRANDE WAS MORE CONCERNED WITH LOOKING CUTE WITH A DRESS DAMN NEAR SHOWING HER A$$ INSTEAD OF BEING RESPECTFUL AND DRESSING CONSERVATIVELY! 😖

   • +sarah kelly To me, she only cared about looking cute instead of being respectful..she should have known better! Like Smokey said, “someone in her camp should have told her that dress was not the way to go!”

   • +Debra McLeod
     *DEBRA MCLEOD I APPLAUD YOU!*
     *BRAVO FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH ARIANA IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO OUR SOCIETY!*
     *MAY YOU LIVE A LONG & HEALTHY LIFE DEBRA!*
     *ARIANA GRANDE* 👎

   • +PITTSBURGH GIRL lisa ROXXI sandoval Thank you Lisa, I wish the same for you! Peace and Blessings!

3. Geesh about time somebody says something that’s true!!!! Smokey paid his dues he can say whatever he wants especially the TRUTH

   • Smokey always has class and is so honest and pure

   • Amen!

   • *Warriors 4 God …* ❤
     *I agree with 👉 YOU 100%*

   • That’s an opinion not a truth which he has every right to his opinion

   • It’s quite true that her dress was inappropriate for a funeral…Period. Every single woman from Fantasia to Jennifer Hudson & everyone in between were dressed like they were there to pay homage to this Queen. & looked classy in their attire.

4. I agree with Smokey Robinson. Her dress code wasn’t appropriate for the funeral.

   • Dolphins life RIGHT VERY INAPPROPRIATE

   • TELL IT LIKE IT IS💕
     THE TRUTH !!
     TOO SHORT,😮

   • Come as you are???
     YES!! BUT TRY AND SHOW A LITTLE ( RESPECT)
     WHEN YOU DO COME AS YOU ARE✝️👍💕💯😊

   • Letra Clark Come as you are true in the heart but no one wanna she under your clothes.

   • Letra Clark Very short Ariana Grande was all in those elders view, that’s why she act like she wanted to run off STAGE HOLDING HER DRESS.

5. Smokey teLL it like it i$!!!!😎✌️

6. I SHARE SMOKEY’S OPINION!! SHE WAS DRESSED INAPPROPRIATE, AND DISRESPECTFUL FOR ANYONE’S FUNERAL!! MAKING NO EXCUSES FOR ANYONE’S BEHAVIOR!! THE 👑 WAS ALL ABOUT RESPECT!! SELF RESPECT AS A WOMAN # 1!!💕❤❤

   • Leslie Johnson Damn- your comment in all CAPS is too loud! 🙉

   • She can wear whatever She chooses to. It has nothing to do with Self Respect as a Woman just because People don’t agree with what She wore. Stop using that as a way to make Your opinion sound more valid.

   • I agree. She was dressed like she was going to the club.

7. Smokey Robinson, a living legend. Still looks the same.

   • He sure is and never aged

8. Smokey still fly in his old age!

   • Love me some Smokey!!

   • ok, now that’s dispespectful…do you know how old that man is, your comment is almost sick. You would take somebody’s Grand Pops to bed just to get some money, wow

   • Gurllll yess😍😍😍

   • Cruisin 😉

   • YESSSS!!!!

9. Smokey on point!! Amen

   • THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10. LMAO ‘ President says something stupid everyday’ on point💯

    • AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • That’s EXACTLY what I would say about obama😂😂😂😂😂 AMEN!!!!!!!!!

    • Yes..Obama did ..Stupid stuff…..people may disagree…but you cannot considering what he did to Libya…..Khadfi…had his country under control to the point that….1.Everybody had running water..(in a desert nation)…..2. He had NO HOMELESS…3. Because his country had a huge surplus of oil and a small population…he would assist other African nations…4. He worked well with Obama’s predesessor..Bush and kept the peace….5..He was on track to lead the continent of Africa toward a gold standard……that last point did not sit well with the European globalist…….and since Obama was in bed with them…he secretly funded factions in Libya, using the CIA…..All these points….were mentioned by Farakan of the Nation of Islam(I don’t support Islam, but I agreed with Farrakan…should not have helped to assasinate Khadafi
      I like Smokey..and went to his concerts in the 60’s when he was with the Miracles …..but he like most entertainers…got left leaning agendas….they love socialism …but you NEVER SEE rich artists, entertainers, or atheletes….in countries like Cuba, USSR or China…because they TAKE YOUR MONEY…AND EVERYBODY is equal…equally poor….hey Venuzuela is the new …’socialist kid on the block’…..next will be South Africa.

    • Basil, try to stay on subject and on topic. I can’t stand when people always try to deflect from the real subject manner only to draw the attention away from the topic.

11. Smokey Robinson is ageless.

    • Caroli Brad He’s looking good as ever

12. everything Smokey said here, was SPOT ON ACCURATE….
    well thought out & calculated to be insightful, informing, but not incendiary.

13. what she wore was highly inappropriate. she should of been more respectful to the Queen. she was lucky to have even been present at her funeral. i’m sure that had more to do with Miss Aretha’s grandchildren then anything else but nonetheless show some courtesy & RESPECT to the late great Queen. How you gunna step foot in a black church dressing like some thot in front of legends and old school gospel folk. embarrassing

    • Umm yall Aretha requested for Ariana to sing at her funeral. She wasn’t just “there” for the amusement of the Queen’s grandchildren. Aretha thought highly of Ariana.

    • That was NOT done intentionally, as to their height differences caused some miscalculations in handling and placements and he was staring directly at the camera when it was inadvertently done. STOP making much to do about nothing.

    • Alexis H, then as a grown woman of 25 yrs. old , she should’ve thought highly enough of Aretha to have dressed more modestly and appropriately at her funeral in a church unto GOD. It was not about her nor was she performing at one of her concerts.

    • +Calvin375 y’all blowing this out of proportions honestly. Of course her dress is quite short but I don’t think it’s inappropriate

    • She was by ALL means respectful. Instead of making a huge scene, when that dirtbag felt her up. She endured it and tried to play it off and move on. It’s a funeral, the dress code is to ‘dress nice and wear black’. It’s not like she wore a dress with her breasts all out saying, “grab me!”

      It’s disgusting that we live in a society, where victims are constantly the ones being blamed. Was her dress a little short? Sure. But, that is NOT an invitation for ANYONE to look or touch. It’s called, you’re at a funeral. Keep your eyes in your head, and your mind full of god, love, and remembrance of a once great person. That Bishop…and Bill Clinton deserves all the backlash for being the truly inappropriate ones. Come on..

14. I totally agree with Smokey Robinson. Ariana Grande dress is not what a woman wears to a funeral.There’s a time and a place for everything. I wear short skirt’s but not to funerals it’s disrespectful to the person who has passed away and to the family. No one has to tell me what to wear at a funeral , you just know. I black dress , hat and shoes. The excuses “that she’s young” doesnt wash. She appears to be of Latin origin, she wouldn’t wear a mini skirt to her grandmother’s or her mother’s funeral.

    • +Calvin375 ik exactly what it means thank you

    • Annette Maxwell o

    • Just clarifying things for you. Now you will know how to use it in its proper context.

    • +Calvin375 i knew thanks. ….. Whether I knew what the scripture meant or not, it wouldn’t stop me from taking it out of the correct context.

    • Well, that’s very sad. That either means, you have a failure in comprehension in your mental capabilities to do what is right or you’re just willfully rebellious? Either way, it shows a lack of good moral and ethical character.

15. I agree with Smokey. Her dress was inappropriate.

    • prancer1000 Smokey Robinson was RIGHT her dress was too short and ponytail was to long.

    • Steve Downey it wasn’t overlooked! He wasn’t [asked ]about a [joke] and the Bishop should have known better than to grab a young woman in his pulpit,that had no respect for herself to come to a funeral with a short dress on ! He was wrong and so was Ariana!💯

    • celeste matthews Wow!🤣🤣🤣

    • Queen OfTruth Its TRUE

    • Queen OfTruth EXACTLY

16. Smoke so hip and humble. He doesn’t even act like the LEGEND he is. 👍

17. She’s beautiful & I luff her but that dress wasn’t fit for the occasion, you don’t have to be raised in church to know what’s appropriate & what’s not , it’s simply respect & common sense !!!!

    • WaShawn Bryant AMEN Aretha Franklin got no R E S P E C T, not even a LITTLE.

    • WaShawn Bryant ~ Sense Ain’t COMMON anymore. I’m surprised that no one came in with the pants falling off! Standards are just about a thing of the past! Rev was right about most of his sermon. Would a FATHER allow that kind of dress ? Probably NOT even to a ‘proper’ FUNCTION- funeral, ‘formal’ or otherwise

18. Smokey Robinson you sure look good. Black don’t crack.

    • No red meat for Mr. Robinson.
      👍 Try it.

19. Honorable events=honorable etiquette. She should have known better, she’s young but not a kid. Hats off Smokey. Tell it like it is

20. Wow, Smoky is very straight forward, I like that.👍👍👍👍

    • Shannon Cunningham SO IT’S HER FAULT THE PASTOR IS A PERVERT? GTFOH…U MOTHERPUCKERSS ARE SICK…

    • I am glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed Ariana Grande dress.Totally inappropriate attire.

    • TY and people trying to blame the preacher.

    • Camille C, I agree😁

    • f u, Has anyone ever told you your mouth needs to be washed out with soap? Well if they have not, I will. YOUR MOUTH NEEDS TO BE WASHED OUT WITH SOAP, YOUR CHOICE OF WORDS ARE VERY UNCLEAN.👎👎👎👎
