Queen Latifah is a bad actress and worse singer.

Hardly!

They're both proud, African American, womanly, um... large... and they sing. Granted, one sings rap and the other gospel.

I think that they're very similar.

I never noticed how freaking massive Queens Latifah's boobs were. She wins.

Hm. I guess I prefer gospel to rap, albeit by a thin margin. So I'll go with the second one. :)

Are you out of your freakin mind? Mahalia Jackson.

btw Queen Latifah isn't a singer.. she was a hip hop artist..

Also, since being black, a female and similar in size carries weight with you .. You should have compared Aretha Franklin with Mahalia .. it would've made much more sense.

Damn, thank you for bringing this thread back up. I'm going to listen to more Mahalia (again).

I really don't do it often enough. And like Nathaniel Cole said, she is the worlds greatest gospel singer.

I own none of her stuff, but I've heard her. Comparing Queen Latifah is freakin retarded.
