Aretha Franklin Delivered the Greatest Diva Moment of 2015

The Queen of Soul made everybody feel like a natural woman at the Kennedy Center Honors. 

As a society, we tend to overuse the term "diva." Anyone with a hit record and an entourage is suddenly worthy of the title. And while I hate to contradict our lord and savior--Beyonce--a diva is not the female version of a hustler.

Aretha Franklin provided the Webster's definition of diva at the Kennedy Center Honors last night when she paid tribute to fellow legend Carole King with a stirring rendition of King's "Natural Woman."

With the drop of her fur, she reminded everyone, especially President Obama, who's actually in charge here.
