EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO THIS SONG ,I JUST CANT GET ENOUGH OF THIS BAD ASS SONG, A SONG MOST PEOPLE CAN RELATE TO SOME TIME OR OTHER IN THERE LIFE AND THE EMOTION SHE SINGS IT WITH MAKES YOU FEEL IT EVEN MORE ,YEP BEYONCE IS BAD IN THIS SONG!!!!
Die sowohl gesanglich als auch instrumental beste Version, die es gibt. Besser als das Original von Etta James und viel besser als die Versionen von Fleetwood Mac und Cicken Snack!
R..I.P. Etta James you are truly an icon and have set the path for a lot of singers, not just in the R & B genre <3 Beyonce killed this song (I cried during this part in the movie too) 0_o
@PassionateJewel you too? i cried watching the movie too..just finished it for the first time. really a GREAT movie, i felt like i was in the movie because i got so into it..beyonce did a great job in the movie and did a great job at all her etta james covers. No one can sing it like etta herself, but beyonce did a damn good job..R.I.P Etta James.
To be honest w you guys I think that the version of Rachel Crow from X factor the day she got, unfairly eliminated, it is so much better... passionate and deeper... take a look Have a great day
Nahhhh I don't know eta's voice has this old wiseness to it... I just trust her more... and then when eta sing I was just... I was just.... woooo CRY GIRL!
I love B, but people who already knew and loved Etta James or Barbara Mason (...WAY before we knew B) probably favor the better "soul" of the old school ladies. There was just more feeling to them....sorry B....
Beyonce does an "OK" job of this but she over sings it. Listen to the original version by Etta James, that has so much feeling, she went through some stuff while singing that, something that Beyonce doesn't have.
To the haters stop being stupid if Beyonce would have never SANG this song withso much soul a lot of people would not even know about Etta james she is the reason why people went out and got Ettas cd.B i love when u SANG this song and all ur songs and other songs.ppl let the past stay in the past forgive and move on.You make me cry when i listen to this song you have made my voice stronger thank U.
Woooo she did a really bad job at this song. Theres no soul, no feeling, no nothing.@ Rakanmasoud : If you think that this is the best version then you need to get your hearing checked. This was terrible !!!!! No One can sing it like Etta.......
keep it a 100 many of us would even have none who Ms Etta James was if it wasnt 4 the movie n would have neva payed the song any mind if it wasnt 4 Beyonce ther r so many other songs n the move n we dont pay any of them any mind cuz Beyonce didnt sang them
@ageoriafuego Instead of posting insults on Beyonce's cover, GTFO & go to Rachel's cover, Damn. -"If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." I know you're mom taught you that.
Funny thing is half of you wouldn't even know this song if it were not for Beyonce singing it as she played Etta James in Cadillac records B can sing her ass off quit hating!!!!!
Rachel Crows version, in my opinion, way better, has much more soul and emotion, though she is only 14.. RIP Etta, you live on in a young woman named Rachel Crow....
I'd rather hear the song by the woman who wrote it and possibly the best female rock and roll/blues singer of all time. Beyonce does a great job and it's an awesome tribute to an american legend but who could ever top the inimitable voice of Etta James?
I hope people are joking when they say Beyonce sings this better than Etta. Etta was the original and so this song had wayyyyy much more passion and soul when she sang it because you knew she felt every single word. I'm a big Beyonce fan but Etta James was a classic and irreplaceable. Beyonce sang it beautifully but absolutely no one can sing this better than Etta. It's no competition!
I truly believe Beyonce's voice brings out this song with more soul. It brings out more feelings than Etta James Rip, Etta I love you but stop hating on Beyonce, you are a huge star in every sense of the word.
@meetnewcomer 1st of all DUMMY..Miss. Etta has passed on..so she isn't HATING..so your post makes no SENSE....next..you R CORRECT..NO COMPARISON..BECAUSE Miss. Etta, ( a real woman) did not have to GET HALF NAKED & GRIND HER BUTT ALL OVER THE STAGE TO PROVE HER WORTH...not that Beyonce can't sing..but SHE HAS BECOME A HAUGHTY, MEDIA HOUND as it were..not to mention..she's half naked all the time, grinding all over..she must not have much faith in her talent any longer......get it...???
@MICHULA54 do you really think that beyonce doesnt have faith in her talent anymore??? lol wow you are soooo out of touch!! Beyonce does not grind on stage all the time because there more to her than that so stop hating you cunt!!!
@Beyoncefan1000 excuse me but i don't recall meeting you for you to know my social standing, thus arriving at the judgement of calling me a C.. then my comment was made in reference to the fact that because she finds it necessary to act so CHEAP..she is obviously feeling INSECURE..WHEN YOU HAVE IT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO FLAUNT IT!!! & i see you said, "she doesn't do it ALL the time" lol..so NO..there is NOT more TO HER..never said she could NOT sing dumb ass..just said she is CHEAP, with her act..
@MICHULA54 haha so now she's cheap??? Beyonce is anything but cheap when it comes down to her legendary performances and just to let your ignorant ass know, teena marie,diana ross,barbra streisand,celine,and aretha have admiration and respect for Beyonce being the true artist that she is known to be!!! so that bullshit about why you think she's cheap is nothing but foolishness and childish!
@Beyoncefan1000 YES, i know...simple minded folks are easily entertained....i understand your dilemma...don't worry..and did you interview them to ask their thoughts on her..??? or are you psychic? lol..............what books have you read their commentaries in? U R most entertaining...
@MICHULA54 simple minded?? lmfao!!! dont try cover up the fact that you dont have a clue of what you're talking about lol atleast I got my facts together!!!
@Beyoncefan1000 sorry Charlie..i don't see you answering my question, so maybe you don't have your FACTS..together..& why don't you try to educate yourself a bit better, so that you will have actual WORDS of intellect to speak..less the profanity..every comment you've made is with profanity! can you not think with that finite small glop of tissue in your head? ..or maybe your Mommy can assist you by washing your mouth out with some soap..oops..she most likely failed & that's your reason.. sad!
@Beyoncefan1000 are you a millionaire? you must be..why waste time here? all psychics are well paid..and you must be one..you insist on calling me names as if you think you know me...you really are to funny..why not try out for comic relief? they mostly are speakers with great minds like yours, & the ability to be profane all the time..lol YOU likewise never answered on how you got your info about approvals for your B. from all listed other female vocals...be careful with your brain now...lol
@Beyoncefan1000 PT.2 TRUE GREATNESS..IS LIKE A RIVER..IT RUNS DEEP & SILENT..meaning when you are sure of yourself, who you are, what you have, or what you are worth..YOU don't have to shout about it..others will take notice without that. True talented women do not need to get half naked, & act like she & many of her piers do. Gloria Estefan did not have to do that nor Teena Marie, Aretha, Diana Ross, Celine, Streisand, etc many great WOMEN..with awesome voices, & NO NEED to act whorish...duh.
WHY ARE PEOPLE BANGIN ON THAT BEYONCE'S VOICE IS "ENGINEERED" IN A STUDIO?? -- I'M NOT THE BIGGEST BEYONCE FAN, BUT I HAVE SEEN HER PERFORM LIVE, AND SHE HAS A WAAAAAYYYYY STRONGER VOICE THAN ETTA..... SORRY TO ALL THE ETTA FANS OUT THERE... BUT BEYONCE RIPS HER UP SINGIN HER SONG! HAHA --- AND RACHAEL CROW?? WHOEVER SHE IS.....SOUNDS LIKE SHIT! -_-
hahaha was that supose to be an insult? hahah low life your the one who needs to close your "pie hole" and sweeheart i never refurred to you as a beyonce hater honeslty stop embracing yourself what isaid has nothing to do with being a beyonce lover or not
TO ALL Beyonce fans: Clearly YOU loathe ANY comments perceived to be negative toward 'your girl, B'. Shut your pie holes, because IF you read my comment, I'm not a Beyonce 'hater', I'm just stating that her voice IS engineered in this song, UNlike young Rachel's. Brand this in your brains that if there's an online community service where others are encouraged to participate with their own thoughts, you’re sure to come across ALL comments. Simply agree to disagree, you fools. LoL ;-)
@maniosa82 lmfao!! Her career is far from being over and I understand that you are a jealous piece of roach but that doesnt mean that you blaem beyonce for it lol
Somebody wrote that Rachel Crow was just another child screaming. I hear more screaming in this version. RAchel is only 13, and she sang it with the soul of a WOMAN. Check out her version if you haven't heard it. Etta is that soul.
What really pisses me off? While Etta was alive? Everyone was saying "BEYONCES VERSION IS BETTER!" and now that Etta has passed? It's different: "ETTA OUTSANG EVERYONE, HER VERSION WAS THE SHIT" Like...stop being so wishy washy people.
It's really annoying how before Etta passed, everyone's like "BEYONCE'S VERSION WAS BETTER" and now that Etta has passed, everyone is "ETTA WAS THE BEST!" like--- Everyone hated Michael Jackson, and when he died, it was a different story. Dislike this or like it if you want, but it makes no fucking sense.
Well we all know that beyonce sounds 100 times more better than in the studio
so until u all hear beyonce sing this live u all need too shut up about the comparisons with who ever the hell Rachel Crow is????? But i love beyonce pain and emotions in this song would love too hear her sing this LIVE in her concert or something will trample all over this song like the Queen she is
i prefer , Etta James version .. there is some thing about the emotion in her version tat fill my eyes with water , the only person i see do this versions good as her was Rachel , some how i can't get the feeling from this version .but good
@badazz628 Beyonce is the greatest of your generation and of mine too. I have never seen a singer do the things that she does in my 50 something years of living. She is phenomenal
@Mrcee215 Beyonce is a great talent, and she has the chops to stand up to this kind of great material. WADR, her own material is all too often thin, weak, pale, and synthetic pop, lacking pathos or depth. She looks great, but she is more interested in being a corporate brand than actually speaking to the human condition with her own original material. I find the troubled Amy Winehouse, more original and authentic, and paying more respect to black musical motifs than Beyonce. Ironic.
I have to agree, Miss B. can truely sing but on this song, I think Rachael sang it better. You can hear the differences in both and sorry to all the Miss B. fans she didn't have the heart felt emotion she usually sings with. For me Rachael wins hands down. My opinion, just sayin
Etta hatted you BITCH GO Away She only likes Christina Aguilera and you fucking suck kelly Rowland sings circles around your assyou would have never made it without her and your ugly ass baby...note don't marry the uglyist man in hip hop LOL FAIL
@TheLesperkins Thats very wonderful for christina that the great Etta liked only her and not beyonce.we are truly happy for christina.but try not to spread too much hating or it will just consume u.funny someone like u who hates beyonce that much coming to her video purely to listen and criticize.just remember next time that people are gonna keep listening to beyonce becos she is also one of the best singers around.why dont u go and diss beyonce on a christina page,pls dont pollute this page.lol
@TheLesperkins I dare you to find the interview where ETTA said she hated Beyonce... those words never came out of her mouth. She was pissed that they got Beyonce to sing "at last" instead of her. she had every right to be mad and she expressed that.. she never said she hated beyonce. i've heard her say Beyonce can sing but not better than her.. and she didn't like. the real question is why u so mad at someone u don't know? Kelly just spend 7k on that ugly baby mo than u'll eva c
We love you Etta! You'll always be remembered! and thank you Beyonce for this magnificent tribute. No one has or ever will sing a better cover! Love, the world.
@vince2950 ehhh.. hehehe noooo. no it wasn't. at all, not even close. There's really nothing I can say but no. lol the fact that you would even think that... is kind of hilarious.
damn she know she sang this song!!

@Beyoncefan1000 PT.2 TRUE GREATNESS..IS LIKE A RIVER..IT RUNS DEEP & SILENT..meaning when you are sure of yourself, who you are, what you have, or what you are worth..YOU don't have to shout about it..others will take notice without that. True talented women do not need to get half naked, & act like she & many of her piers do. Gloria Estefan did not have to do that nor Teena Marie, Aretha, Diana Ross, Celine, Streisand, etc many great WOMEN..with awesome voices, & NO NEED to act whorish...duh.

TO ALL Beyonce fans: Clearly YOU loathe ANY comments perceived to be negative toward 'your girl, B'. Shut your pie holes, because IF you read my comment, I'm not a Beyonce 'hater', I'm just stating that her voice IS engineered in this song, UNlike young Rachel's. Brand this in your brains that if there's an online community service where others are encouraged to participate with their own thoughts, you’re sure to come across ALL comments. Simply agree to disagree, you fools. LoL ;-)

Somebody wrote that Rachel Crow was just another child screaming. I hear more screaming in this version. RAchel is only 13, and she sang it with the soul of a WOMAN. Check out her version if you haven't heard it. Etta is that soul.

What really pisses me off? While Etta was alive? Everyone was saying "BEYONCES VERSION IS BETTER!" and now that Etta has passed? It's different: "ETTA OUTSANG EVERYONE, HER VERSION WAS THE SHIT" Like...stop being so wishy washy people.

It's really annoying how before Etta passed, everyone's like "BEYONCE'S VERSION WAS BETTER" and now that Etta has passed, everyone is "ETTA WAS THE BEST!" like--- Everyone hated Michael Jackson, and when he died, it was a different story. Dislike this or like it if you want, but it makes no fucking sense.

@Sw33tValo I agree with you 100%. I always try to get that point across to people. I very rarely see people with the same views as me on that aspect.

Well we all know that beyonce sounds 100 times more better than in the studio
so until u all hear beyonce sing this live u all need too shut up about the comparisons with who ever the hell Rachel Crow is????? But i love beyonce pain and emotions in this song would love too hear her sing this LIVE in her concert or something will trample all over this song like the Queen she is

@badazz628 Beyonce is the greatest of your generation and of mine too. I have never seen a singer do the things that she does in my 50 something years of living. She is phenomenal

@Mrcee215 Beyonce is a great talent, and she has the chops to stand up to this kind of great material. WADR, her own material is all too often thin, weak, pale, and synthetic pop, lacking pathos or depth. She looks great, but she is more interested in being a corporate brand than actually speaking to the human condition with her own original material. I find the troubled Amy Winehouse, more original and authentic, and paying more respect to black musical motifs than Beyonce. Ironic.

I have to agree, Miss B. can truely sing but on this song, I think Rachael sang it better. You can hear the differences in both and sorry to all the Miss B. fans she didn't have the heart felt emotion she usually sings with. For me Rachael wins hands down. My opinion, just sayin

@TheLesperkins Thats very wonderful for christina that the great Etta liked only her and not beyonce.we are truly happy for christina.but try not to spread too much hating or it will just consume u.funny someone like u who hates beyonce that much coming to her video purely to listen and criticize.just remember next time that people are gonna keep listening to beyonce becos she is also one of the best singers around.why dont u go and diss beyonce on a christina page,pls dont pollute this page.lol

@TheLesperkins I dare you to find the interview where ETTA said she hated Beyonce... those words never came out of her mouth. She was pissed that they got Beyonce to sing "at last" instead of her. she had every right to be mad and she expressed that.. she never said she hated beyonce. i've heard her say Beyonce can sing but not better than her.. and she didn't like. the real question is why u so mad at someone u don't know? Kelly just spend 7k on that ugly baby mo than u'll eva c
