 U.S. “X Factor” champ Melanie Amaro shows “Respect” to the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, by sampling her 1965 classic on her debut single. The soulful dance recording will be featured in Pepsi’s Super Bowl commercial, airing during Sunday’s big game. The 19-year-old singer, who hails from the British Virgin Islands, will also star in the TV spot alongside Elton John. |

This sounds like a remix from the mid '90s. Simon usually has a somewhat decent sense of what's actually popular, so I'm shocked he would actually let his winner release this.

Isn't every single that comes from these people incredibly dated? They could be big, but they never get the right song.

I'm not a fan of the "updated" version, but she sounds GREAT.
