Bill Clinton’s gaze at Ariana Grande as she sings at Aretha Franklin funeral ignites Internet frenzy

Just where was he looking? Bill Clinton's gaze sparked a frenzy online
Olivia Tobin3 September 2018

Social media has erupted at a video of Bill Clinton watching Ariana Grande perform at Aretha Franklin’s funeral.

Video footage of Miss Grande performing the hit (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman had social media paying more attention to Mr Clinton’s gaze, rather than Miss Grande’s vocals.

Social media users criticised the former president as “gross” after his eyes appeared to wander onto Miss Grande's derriere.

One user said: “Gross..watch Bill Clinton look Ariana Grande up and down when she sings at #ArethaFranklinFuneral and try not to throw up in your mouth.”

Another wrote: “Bill Clinton is REALLY big fan of Ariana Grande.”

Like Sippi said: “Bill Clinton just fell in love with Ariana Grande.”

Others however leapt to Mr Clinton's defence. One person wrote online: "How can you possibly tell where he is looking?"

Ms Franklin’s funeral was attended by a whole host of influential figures, including prominent civil rights activist Reveremt Al Sharpton.

Mourners including Bill Clinton, Whoopi Goldberg and Stevie Wonder arrived at Franklin's funeral at the Detroit's Greater Grace Temple on Friday, while hundreds of fans lined the streets outside.
