I knew it! I knew that Etta James would comment about Beyonce singing her song. I think that Obama should have had Ms. Etta James sing her song herself. Ms. Etta James has traveled all over the world singing that song for the last 50 years. Beyonce comes along after having played her in a movies and sings her song in the presidents ball. I think that wrong. I would have been offended, too. It should have been --Americas first black president listening to the original singer.
I myself don't like Beyonce...you know she was hatin when Jennifer Hudson took home that Oscar. All those years makin movies after movies and still no Oscar. Then comes along this chick off of a reality show, makes her ( i think) first movie and WHAM! Oscar for her!!!! So hahahahahahaha Beyonce, you AINT all that!
I have lost a lot of respect for Etta James. It is clear Beyonce has/had the utmost respect for her, as she starred in a movie about her and performed a passionate tribute. Etta should be ashamed of herself for this.
I think Beyonce should have at least asked Etta for permission to sing the song. But she did an outstanding job! So atleast Etta was represented well. She needs to get over it!
Beyonce is such a fake cow. She claims to be a die-hard Christian, but dances around in her underwear, marrys glorified thugs & supports baby-murdering, pro-homosexual civil union socialist like Odrama. She is the poster child of hypocrisy. Etta was absolutely right!
Perhaps it is slightly hypocritical if indeed she does dance around in underwear etc. However, does it not say in the bible to forgive and turn the other cheek?
Beyonces performance of this song was a blatant promotion for her movie which had just opened. I dont think a presidents inauguration is the time or place for that.
Ummm...the president requested that Beyonce sing "At Last" n she did it well! Non of u all wud hav neva even hearrd of etta james if it wasnt 4 Beyonce so chillax!
"wud hav neva hearrd of Etta James if it wasnt 4 beyonce". Are you daft? Etta James is a legend! She has been recording great music since the 60s. No, she isnt top 40, but most of the best singers arent. Not like these overrated fluffs like Beyonce. And by the way, learn to spell.
Who the HELL are you calling "overrated fluff"??? If you want uS to respect your little "legend" then you should respect Beyonce. Because let me tell you that if Beyonce would have started at the same time that b***h started Beyonce would be actually be known because no one had heard od that Etta James until the James v. Beyonce thingy!
So respect my dear
PS let them spell the way they want to beacuse you know you write that way when you text
Dont get your panties in a bunch Mary. All I'm saying is you people who insist that noone has ever heard of Etta James just come across as ignorant. Just because YOU have never heard of her, doesnt mean NOONE (or should I say "Non of u all") has ever heard of her. Dont be redonk. She has millions of fans. I'm sure Beyonce is your idol so I'm sorry darling that you dont like my opinion of her. But its my opinion and I'm entitled to it. She has plenty of fans. She doesnt need me.
"114087 (1 day ago) also tha daughter of 2 hard core barack obama supporters.wen obama won over tha presidency i watchd both mi mom nd mi dad cry nd evn cried maself.i was @ tha inauguration where he beame known as tha president of tha united states so if yu live in tha united states, ms etta james, then obama is ur president nd if yu dnt like it then yu can get tha hell out! "
I can see you would support Obama - you're so damn stupid you can't even spell. Thank the Democrats for that.
Face it - Obama made a very clear message at the Inaugural. Where were Chuck Berry and Little Richard ? Or are they, like MLK, Frederic Douglas, and Harriet Tubman ... REPUBLICANs ?
i know beyonce would have handled this in a very classy way. but ill get ghetto for her.
"FUCK ETTA JAMES OLD ASS SHE MAD BECAUSE BEY DiD HER THING.. and she cant no more.. UP THERE RAMBLING ABOUT NOTHING ON STAGE. SHE MAD Because she didnt get a chance to sing it, OLD BiTCH! AND HOW THE HELL IS SHE DISSiN OBAMA.. SHES MAd because he aint call her to sing.. CRAZKED OUT BITCH.. iF YU MAD THEN YU NEED TO PUT A lID ON IT.. AHH haa HAA UH HAA HAAAAA HA HAA"
Well, Etta was not the the first to sing the song that she didnt write, nor will she be the last. When she is dead and gone, someone has to continue the legacy of great artist. Ett James is a wonderful artist that allowed lifes hardships to weigh her down, she was blessed to have made it this far. Beyonce is a wonderful artist with a lot of talent, know one has claimed her to be the best singer in the world, but she is however an excellent performer. Stop hating because of your own failures.

im also tha daughter of 2 hard core barack obama supporters.wen obama won over tha presidency i watchd both mi mom nd mi dad cry nd evn cried maself.i was @ tha inauguration where he beame known as tha president of tha united states so if yu live in tha united states, ms etta james, then obama is ur president nd if yu dnt like it then yu can get tha hell out!
this comment 4rm etta james jus shows how mature some old ppl dnt get ova tha yrs.beyonce is one of mi heroes nd i aspire 2 b 1 of her back up dancers 1 day.ettas jus mad cuz beyonce sang tha song betta than her.
Why should Etta James be thankful for Beyonce doing something she laid the foundation for? You guys are making Beyonce sound as generous as Oprah, here. Beyonce can't do anything "better" than her, because Etta IS the standard for comparison. She didn't have the sex appeal and she had a markedly harder life growing up than Beyonce did, but she broke out of that and still gained enough fame to the extent that Beyonce CHOOSES to emulate her. Etta revolutionized a music genre, Beyonce just followed
etta james shouldnt be mad at beyonce for singing the ong so damn good....if anything she should be happy as hell....she needs to calm down and be thankful
Etta James needs to retire and retire that voice, she sounds like crap, and Beyonce sings the mess out of that song! Same goes for that fat ass Aretha, she doesn't have it anymore. You don't see Muhammad Ali out there still tryin to fight, he knew when to retire. Let the kids have their moment. Give it up you old bitches!
B eyonce cant sing like Etta you bum ass trash,Get it through ya fucking head hoe.EVERYONE outside Beyonces delusional fanbase will tell you she is no Etta James vocally.
i think etta went too far by saying that obama was not her president... if you are in the united states obama is gonna be yo prez weather u like it or not...unless u move outta country...an i dnt think she gone do dat...
more incoherence. you have no evidence to support anything you've just said.
"Byonce did not , embrace,, or even try to remember Etta".
how can u possibly stand by this comment? this is nothing more then an emotional appeal supported by no facts and based on no logic.
"and Byonce is a fake wanna be white BITCH!"
another emotional appeal based on zero evidence....or at least you present no logical reasons as to why u think this. just stop blogging. you sound like a drone.
watz wit the animosity? i dnt think etta shoulda went that hard though like yea she didnt reach out 2 but neither did j. hudson when she did that song on dreamgirls and that bitch had an attitude too but etta should at least be kinda flattered someone wanted to do a movie for her and everytime b did the song she tributed it to her like on fashion rocks. but idk, these old divas are going too far like when b called tina turner A queen aretha got mad like she the only queen. it's all b.s 2 me
Etta was nt drunk, you would be upset to, if someone played you in a movie and did not even attempt to reach you, and even fine out how you feel about it, and did'nt even attemp to study your charactor, like the actress that did Tina Turner, she vist Tina and spent time with her to study her, and Jamie Fox spent time with Ray Charles to do ray ,and Will Smith Spent time With Muhamad Ali when he before he played Ali, Boyonce and her camp treated Etta like she was dead for years
Wow.... I can't believe Etta would say something like that. It's a shame that two old divas like her and Aretha takes themselves so seriously that they get offended by such trivial things like titles and who sang which song first.
As for Etta I just have one thing to say:
He's not your president?! Well, sorry to say this, but... if you're an American citizen, then yes he is! You might not agree, but he was chosen by the majority which means your candidate didn't win.... tough!
wow...it would appear there are people commenting on this video that don't even want others to have opinions...,my guess...it's someone that voted for obama and 300, 000 mill in green golf carts...good going America!!
yea you've been signing that song forever and you wonder why people forgot ur name and as for aretha shut up that title dont mean shit and i and many other people dont even REALLY know who you are. i just caught a picture of you in this video. GET OVER IT!!!
These old bitches you just can't make them happy , maybe a big bucket of chicken wings should do the trick , could you imagine her in spike heels walking with 600 hundred pounds in each shoe , what would happen if she step on the President foot ??????
Yes Etta hair is fake but take in consideration the time that Etta came out of. The 50's
Etta is old Fassion, but here we are in the 2,009 ,with all the knowledge we have about blackpride and this bitch byonce rocking blone hair?
And triyng to look and act white?
Atleast Etta face is real and she did not try to look white, Etta dad is! White! Etta bi_racial, this bitch byonce comes from 2 black parents, I recall when byonce keep it black with braids and african corn roll, she's a sell out!
so it's okay to "act white", and try to "look white" and wear a blond wig just as long as you were born before the 50s?
what evidence do u have to support the claim that beyonce is "trying to look white".
describe what "acting white" is.
are u saying that if you're "biracial" it's okay to "act white" but not if you're "full black"?
how old are u? u blog like a 10 year old child. u should really read your comments closely before clicking "post" because what you've typed doesn't even make sense.
I said that Etta is old fasion, and dont know any better,becouse she was raised in a certin time!
But if your in your 20's and black, after MalcomX spoke, and the black panthers, after the civil right movement taught us self pride, you should'nt fine it in your heart to try to please a white audience by looking like a white clown for them, and I am not 10, I am 43 years old, and you got the mine of a 9 years, old and your white u dont understand!

Byonce is a ole fake face! fake hair! wanna be white, plastec fake percell doll Farrah Fawce,t wanna be honkey , trying to sound white on (IF I Was A Boy) song!
Byonce is a ole fake face! fake hair! wanna be white, plastec fake percell doll Farrah Fawce,t wanna be honkey , trying to sound white on (IF I Was A Boy) song!
Your right MsChissa their family might put their ass's in a old folks home and have them sleeping in their own urine and shit, and never comb their matted hair when they get old. lol!
you need to slow your roll, Etta had to fight for her starlight back when Blacks had to go around to the back and was being chased by the KKK. When you take into context what black singers had to go through to get respect, you can see why she is so pissed, even if we don't necessarily agree with the way Etta handled it.
And far as Obama, man when people upset their mad at everyone who participated in it, dont mean its right but put your self in Etta shoes! BYonce is a ole fake hair wanna be white, sell out fake stomack, fake nose ,bleached skin, negro fake barbie doll bitch!
How are you going to get mad at one of the top vocalists in the world singing your song? If nothing else, it introduces Etta's song to a younger audience.
Then she tries to insult Obama, but doesn't really say why.
How is eEtta a bitch, you would be upset to, if someone played you in a movie and did not even attempt to reach yop, and even fine out how you feel about it, and did'nt even attemp to study your charactor, like the actress that did Tina Turner, she vist Tina and spent time with her to study her, and Jamie Fox spent time with Ray Charles to do ray ,and Will Smith Spent time With Muhamad Ali when he before he played Ali, Boyonce and her camp treated Etta like she was dead for years
yea i understand that but she didnt have to b such a bitch about it. it's not like beyonce was claiming the song as hers...etta is really being childish and she really needs to eat some humble pie
she's just being her old dope fien self. she jus hatin cuz b got to perform and not her and etta didnt even write the fukin song so fuk her old dried up ass. these ols bitches allways want the younger gen. 2 kiss their asses but fuk that shit get over it. she should b glad someone thought of her enough to do a movie on her

First of all is she even known for anyother song. It's just dumb for the both of them to get up on national tv and act a fool like that! Bottom line is they are old and dried up there time has passed stop trying to get attion cause she just mad that obama did not ask her old ass to sing he might have been scared that she was gone die in between the song with her old ass
its metapose . or however the fuck you spell that shit . she iqnorant as hell for her obama comments too . & i quess she should be madd because at last is the only sonq any body ever payed any mind to of her fat ugly ass .
& i wanna know who the fuck is qonna wope beyonce's ass ?!? cuz i wanna be there . she betta have qreat qrand children . i'll smack that old BITCH ! but yeah ... its jealousy ! she ain't qot it nomore . so she's MAAAAD hunny !
I really can't understand why she's upset. Is this jealousy? I am being sincere. Etta James seems not to be in her right mind, and after hearing her comments about OUR president, it's more than obvious she has some anger towards the NEW generation of movers-and-shakers both musical and political. Sad, really. I wish more artists of a different generation could be like Prince and Patti Labelle and teach and mentor, instead of being jealous and judgemental.
Look Etta is from another generation that jokes around by putting someone down. Really she is very happy with Beyonce or she never would have mentioned her. Thats just the way older ladies joke around.
Urethra Franklin screeches like a cat and acts like a sweaty, spoiled brat, and Etta is just a washed up old hag. Hang it up broads. They justy hatin cuz someone new got more talent than they ever dreamed they's had.
Ettas just being an annoying old bitch now. I mean... I dont really like Beyonce, her Single Ladies song annoys the hell out of me, but damn what's wrong with her singing "At Last"? She's probably just mad at Obama and took it out on Beyonce. Its crazy that people are still mad about Obama.
You young peice of shit bastards just shut the fuck up.Etta is a better vocalist than Beyonce,especially in her prime.You peice of shit young weird obsessed mentally ill idiots are so obsessed with Beyonce and the bitch has mediocre vocals at most
You old piece of shit bastard... Etta's the Bitch that started the shit. Ettaa a jealous old hag 'cause someone is singin her song better and looking better,, acting bett, richer than and getiing mo' thean she is Etta's over,. and she's just bitter. Your comments validate that.
The bitch could of threw rocks at Beyonce.She still sings better and there is nothing your punkass can or will do to prove otherwise,your incapable because Beyonce singing better Than Etta is something that only exisst Beyonce fan braincells and no one else.
Yet, Etta's the bitch. Instead of being greatful for someone paying tribute to her song.... she just gotta open her old leathery mouth and bitch-off. Shes proven she's an old dried up bitch. Her mouth shows that, and that's fact
Etta James seems crazy. She's mad at everybody. Beyonce, Barack Obama (for having big ears, I guess), Michelle Obama, everyone. Let's be honest. She wishes *she* was up there singing her song, but she simply wasn't invited. Obviously she was compensated for her song being sung, otherwise she would be suing right now. So, she's just a bitter old woman who can't stand to have the spotlight on someone else. I mean, what the hell is she mad at the Obamas for?
it's a natural instinct for a father to protect and defend his daughter and since aretha was being so petty, along with the fact that she's so much older then beyonce, he probably found it appropriate for an older person like himself to respond. this is why i don't believe in that "respect your elders" bullshit. i respect people who respect me. i don't give a fuck how old they are. u gotta give respect to get it in this world and that's the bottom line.
where's your evidence for your claim that beyonce "begged" barack to sing the song? i love when people just pull facts out their ass and scribble them on a message board. if you think beyonce is "disrespectful" and as such can not be successful, then how do u explain her millions of records sold worldwide, along with plenty of grammies and respect in the industry? your statement seems to contradict itself, but i'm not surprised. people like u speak emotionally and not logically.
you sound like a complete idiot. "not being woman enough to contact her". so every time someone sings a song they're suppose to call the person who sung it prior to them for their permission? do u have any idea how ridiculous that sounds?
"spent time studying her character...."
i don't remember etta making any complaints about b not contacting her prior to making the movie. this is another stupid idea that you've pulled out your ass. you seriously need to stop blogging and grow up.
the problem i have with people like yourself is that you contradict yourself and your so one-dimensional. how can u possibly be okay with beyonce portraying etta in a fuckin movie and then say it's not okay to sing a freakin song later? how can u possibly think just singing a song is "making like it's yours song"? are all the american idol contestants "making like those songs are their's"? you just make no sense and etta did not write that song, nor was she the first artist to sing it. thank u.
who is beyonce? a multimillion record selling artist that the world loves and respects. it's very likely that if you're not american and if you're under the age of 60, you've never heard of etta james. everybody know who beyonce is. also, if i were to insult your mother and threaten to kick her ass for basically no reason, would u react by saying "he's entitled to his opinion. who is my mother anyway? that's just a stupid comment on your part.
i like how u overlooked the first 2 sentences in lotus278's comment and only commented on the part that said beyonce's classy. perhaps you'd like to explain why u don't think beyonce's classy. also, why don't u explain how it's classy for a 71 year old woman to insult and threaten a 27 year old for basically no good reason and then make rude comments about the first black president in U.S. history? as old as she is, would u think she' d be more appreciative of such a historic moment?
if you don't like beyonce because of her straightened hair and "yellow skin" then you should hate etta even more. not only is etta's hair straightened but her skin is far more yellow this beyonce's. what a stupid comment. please stop blogging. lmfao.
what makes you think a 71 year old senile woman can sing remotely as good as beyonce? maybe she could've done it as good when she was beyonce's age, but now she's just a has-been and i think that's what has her upset.
"the point is that she had the right to get upset..."
the point was not whether or not she had the right to get upset, but whether or not what she said was classy.
"why are you even bringing others into it?? why...that is really a question."
no. that's your question and it's a stupid one. this was to underscore the fact that this is not the first time the song's been covered so why get upset now?
the rest of your idiotic comment has clearly been addressed by trawler987. now stop blogging.
Etta James is an Icon. that song is her signature song, forever. Why she didn't feel appreciated, is anyone's guess. Her song is forever tied to the President Obama, our Nations First African American President. She is also an Elder in the music community. Respect is better than ice cream on a windy day.
this is the THIRD TIME beyonce has took either sombody lyrics or whole song. THE THIRD TIME.Look it up. Her and her father are thieves. when they start to struggle to finD hits, They'll host some type of songwriting and contest and steal contestants shit. WHERE THERE IS A PATTERN THERE IS A PROBLEM.
i agree the bitch byonce is getting whiter and whiter, with here bleached skin, and fake hair, she use to have corn roll and long braid extentions, now the bitch tring to look lik farrah faccet!
Etta James invented RnB. She is a legend and that song is HERS. I'm not sure why she's so pissed at Beyonce, but man, she got a right. As much as i think Beyonce is hot as hell.
Am glad someone told it like it is....Beyonce is a bitch in my book...just like i think Mary J is over rated...So am a hater because i don't like ole Nasty Beyonce or Mary J....It is what it is....
If that is really Etta James voice than I know for sure she is a hater! Even If you don't like her singing Etta lacked a lot of class making such a comment. She is such a HATER!!! And she is jealous cause she really wanted to be the one singing at the inauguration. I bet if Pres. Obama asked her to sing that day, she would come on her hands and knees just to fill that spot. Before the grammys I thought she was dead! She's so phony then cause she was all smiles there. Etta is a crab in a barrel.
What's wrong with Beyonce singing her song if she did it in the movie? I hate when the older people gotta diss the younger people. It's a new generation people...
She obviously just wanted to sing the damn song herself and was pissed that Obama had Beyonce sing it instead. Etta's voice is a hundred times better too
wat a mean bitch! i mean, maybe she has a right to the song, but come on? "beyonce gonna get ehr ass whooped" whos gonna do that? shes so fucking old she probably cant even go to the bathroom herself! just move on
come Etta stop it. black people need to stop hating on each other....its fuckin ridiculous...I'm sure Beyonce respects all music legends, she hasn't disrespected you in any way...and yes Obama is our President...get rid of that crab in the barrel mentality....
.......and I don't like what she said about the Jackson 5 either. Look it up. It was thoughtless

Why should Etta James be thankful for Beyonce doing something she laid the foundation for? You guys are making Beyonce sound as generous as Oprah, here. Beyonce can't do anything "better" than her, because Etta IS the standard for comparison. She didn't have the sex appeal and she had a markedly harder life growing up than Beyonce did, but she broke out of that and still gained enough fame to the extent that Beyonce CHOOSES to emulate her. Etta revolutionized a music genre, Beyonce just followed

I think she should be honored that someone of this generation wanted to sing her song. It brings it back to life I think.

If that is really Etta James voice than I know for sure she is a hater! Even If you don't like her singing Etta lacked a lot of class making such a comment. She is such a HATER!!! And she is jealous cause she really wanted to be the one singing at the inauguration. I bet if Pres. Obama asked her to sing that day, she would come on her hands and knees just to fill that spot. Before the grammys I thought she was dead! She's so phony then cause she was all smiles there. Etta is a crab in a barrel.

What's wrong with Beyonce singing her song if she did it in the movie? I hate when the older people gotta diss the younger people. It's a new generation people...

She obviously just wanted to sing the damn song herself and was pissed that Obama had Beyonce sing it instead. Etta's voice is a hundred times better too
