  • Etta doesn't like the fact that some else can do this song so much better than her and 2 it is a song not HER song!!!! Beyonce is perfect for this song and many like it.

  • SOUL...at it's best...nothing else to say... but.. listen ..and let the music send you..remember the greats...awe..where would we be without them...MJ

  • Did you see the way they intertwined Etta 's portrait right into Beyonce facial feature. Beyonce looked just like Etta James. Almost to a tee.

  • People are hatin on Beyonce's singing for this movie. They just wished they could do it. Beyonce sung this song well and she looks Flawless. Go head Young Diva!

  • pause at 1:18 amazing!!!!

  • Love Beyonce, even though I don't know her she's got a beautiful voice.

  • amazing!

  • I love what she said about Etta =D

  • why r her eyebrows so bold

  • perfect, divine!

  • I think everyone is blowing this issue about Etta and Beyonce out of proportion. What is done is done. Both are exceptional singers. Both have different styles and vocal ranges. Different time periods and both are exceptional in their craft. We should honor them rather than argue about it.

  • Beyonce is very hot!!!

    Beyonce ist sehr scharf!!!!

  • divine darling just divine lol

  • Beyonce looks amazing a blonde!

  • why are you proper arguing with eachother over youtube?

  • preferisco la versione di CHRISTINA AGUILERA!!!

  • Etta James Done!

    Tina Turner Done! whats next for beyonce?!!

  • I hate her hair!

  • it's a wig you fuck tard.

  • I know it's a fucking wig you dumb fuck.

  • well then say you hate her wig you stupid cunt.

  • yo mama!

  • ubelivable :D amazing her voice is so powerful :)

  • I ma not expert for song but I heard Etta 's version and I think that Beyonce kill the Etta's one.I think that this version is much better and that Beyonce has much bigger vocal possibilities.

  • this is way better than eta james

  • Because it was a tibute to Etta James you dumb fuck....Stop trying to put down Beyonce. She did her thing! Why are people hating on Beyonce?!?!

  • I see by your manner of speach just how ellevated Beyonce's fans are. Thank you. Also, Etta is not dead and is not pleased by this tribute. Pretty clear if you ask me!

  • you all suck. never insult a fuckin legend.... something you'll never ever be... you're an infant compared to beyonce and etta. you'd be lucky if you were the shit on thier shoes... have a nice pathetic life.

  • Comment removed

  • Etta is a stupid old hag, but she still had a much better version than Beyonce's. Neither could touch Glenn Miller though.

  • I love Etta but she is so fake

  • I dont understand why Etta is mad now, she seemed to be cool with everything in this video and during the times when cadillac records was being supported...could she possibly be jealous that Obama didnt invite her to sing at the inauguration? With all do respect B sung the hell out of this song!!!

  • thats pretty much it. before the inaguration she was praising beyonce but after that she said "the president with the big ears .. thats not my president.. and that girl singing my song on stage is going to get her ass kicked" something to that extent.. probalby not word for word

  • yeh i agree

  • she's just jealous. in my opinion this version of the song is better than the original.

  • i agree.

  • agree with you

  • Comment removed

  • I wonder how long it took to put all that weave back in her hair

  • ur a hater

  • =| ..If you say so

  • i dont know why a talent such as beyonce carries so many haters

  • why is etta gettin mad when it wasnt her song.. she got it from some lady cant remember her name but she was a white singer bacc in the 1940's.. etta james was not the original singer of that song she just sang it alot so people started saying it was hers

  • According to wikipedia:

    "At Last" is a 1941 song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical film Orchestra Wives, starring George Montgomery and Ann Rutherford. It was first performed in the film and on record by Glenn Miller and his orchestra, vocal by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday. The song was a major hit for Miller, reaching number 14 on the Billboard pop charts in 1942, and it soon became a standard.

  • I think Etta does it better, but I always prefer the Original to any song...I think Etta was more mad that she did it for the president with out her approval, plus I dont think she voted for him... :)

  • Exactly. She can be a Republican or someone who disagrees with his response to issues for all we know. But we should (do) know is she has been around to witness one President after another get sworn in office -_-

    I think people are forgetting that Obama is just a man who is not as powerful. He can't fulfill all promises without the Legislative Branch to back it up and if the Judicial Branch are going to remove it. Checks and Balances ftw :)

  • After such a respectful performance.. why in the hedck is Etta so mad at Beyonce??? she is a classy woman and she should be glad that she was able to honor her in such a way...

  • i like it. beyonce did a good job cuttng and pasteing the song to fit her. etta ought to be thankful someone is putting her old ass back in the spotlight.

  • amazing

  • cant believe etta talked smack about beyonce like that after beyonce bigged her up so much. sounds like jealousy to me. bitter, old lady. i did respect her, but i can't anyore after reading what she said

  • Me neithr i cant belive it

    beyonce even made a tribute to her

    and etta just throws it in her face

    and talks shit about her behind her back

  • i know! but she was all sweet as pie to beyonces face. bitch is just jealous with a capital J.

  • Etta is a soman's name, and James is a man's name.  Does Beyonce have the stuff of both genders? Just curious. 'Cause I like her either way

  • get on somewhere! beyonce is the shit! i don't know why people keep hating on her...when they know she is a great performer!

  • ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, great job beyonce !!!!!!!!!!

  • etta need to thanks beyonce hell she aint doin nuthn but puttin her back on the market

  • sit down beyonce sick of your ass Etta gonna beat your ass

  • Erm, why would they need her permission. Sure, Etta sung the song but she didn't write it.

  • why didnt she say anthing to beyonce there..? hmm it seem like Etta was enjoying it..

  • no her hips and butt are just big... but shes not fat...Healthy i say!

  • what do you mean beyonce is fat?

    i bet your just jealous bcuz ur fat

  • amazing performance!!!!

  • anyone have this on mp3 and are willing to send me this?! plleaasse my vid converter thingy isnt working!!!

    xxx

  • am sure pearpeas that B wanted to impress you she would be very sorry that she had failed... but than again who are you..????

    keep their clothes on-- what about that ...Jesus you are really a piece of work

  • Wow I bet they paid Etta a lot of dough just so she'd attend.

  • Perfect!

  • that was quite the impressive vocal from Beyonce, there was nothing of the period, or of etta james in that performance. It was the same belty r&b riffy beyonce as always, and i was hoping she'd restore some of the era to this classic, but she definately just didn't seem to even try

  • oh my gosshhhh i get goose bumps every time i here Beyoncey sing this song. I will absaloutly neva get tired of hereing her singing this song.............i just love it......her voice is so incredible.....keep doin it up Beyonce

  • Gosh, this is awesome.

  • Excuse The Snoddy comments people! Beyonce may be a booty shaker yes, but she was pure Elegance at The Neighborhood Inaugural Ball, and she sang her ass off! This was our moment as Blackfolks and I dare anyone try to defile it with snoddy ass comment! satan I rebuke you! you are nothing!

  • why not jill scott?? beyonce just embarrassed herself, she shouldn't have been in the movie period. she can't touch etta's original version....EPIC FAIL.

  • Get a grip it was just a movie no one can be exactly like etta james, and idc I thought she did a real good job acting wise in the movie.

  • amazin!!!!

  • forget what the haters say she is performing at the inauguration..who mad?...lmao..three times!!!!!!!!!11

  • Beautiful. No matter who sings it, that song always gets me.

  • dats not true the movie DreamGirls flopped but jennifer hudson still won an oscar so dats a lie....a very big lie.....u should know ur facts instead of tellin unworthy tells.........get it right....Beyonce does her thing .....i dont really be on her like dat but she brings it....Have u ever been to her shows.......man man man

  • the movie cadillac records  FLOPPED BIG TIME...NO OSCAR FO BEYONCE...POOR THING.

  • on one hand, this does pale in comparison, really because beyonce doesn't really know what she's singing about. on the other hand, etta james was older and probably high or drunk when she recorded her cover. i will say beyonce got her emotions going towards the end. she sounded like she finally got inside the song a little. all in all, it's a tribute, not a genuine cover.

  • beyonce can sing. i dont know why people try to downplay her talent. she gives 1000% at every concert and in every performance. give the lady her respect.

  • What is "oeriginlity" and who is "Madoona"? LOL

  • I just lovee this you just gotta love this and Love the hair and outfit an make up

  • xtina was good- she just does too much

  • yeah i agree way too many runs with Xtinas version

  • Go Beyonce

  • beautiful tribute song... She did it justice. Didn't try as hard as Christina.. Christina a bit egotistic to think she can just take that song and try to own it.. its classic. Beyonce kept it true :)

  • Beyonce voice is the bomb!! This was great and her in the movie was evenn better.

  • beyonce pulled it off! the first "at last" gives me chills.

  • that dress is so beautiful

  • beyonce really sung tht song.

  • Beyonce' song the HELL out of that song! Go head girl!!!

  • she is one of the best live singer i even see

  • Christina was terrible!! Go Beyonce!!

  • daaaamm she can singg !!!

  • This was beautiful!

  • out ov all the re-makes and re-dos Beyonce sang this the best

  • I love me some Christina but I have to say I finally understand when all these comments have said time and time again that she oversings. I always was like how the hell is she over singing, I just didn't agree. But with her at last, I saw oversinging!

  • this may sound crazy, but i think beyonce sounds better live than she does recorded

  • agreed

  • Not crazy at all.

  • Every performance on her Beyonce Experience tour she sang better than on recordings.

  • I think beyonce did it more tastefully than christina... but with the difficult notes you can tell how christina is way more skilled than beyonce...

  • Christina's take was good, but not THIS good. Christina missed what made this song great (the soul of the song) and did it for show. Beyonce understood this song and not only made it her own, but paid tribute to Etta at the same time.

  • No, Christina had no obligation to sound like someone else. Beyonce sings way more complicated melismas than Christina. She has a bigger riff vocabulary than Christina by a long shot.

  • Beyonce's performance was amazing it usually is...she's the definition of a true artist...check out my vids to...Skai

  • Beyonce was feeling that at the end ... she would do well in any genre of music.

  • Beyonces performance was amazing, i though the movie was getting a little boring but as soon as B came out i became more interested, hands down to B, of course nothing like the original but she's as close as it gets.

  • beyonce murders another classic.... beyonce i love u

  • Beyonce should stick to singing, her performance in Cadillac Records was a little weak.

  • its funny ur the first person who said that

  • If you can't take a part that doesn't require singing, then there's something missing.

  • True dat.

  • It's called a cover for a reason. Listen to the original then listen to both ladies. Beyoncé does it better without all the over the top. Then again, Christina was free to do it how she wanted at the time. I'm sure if she was singing to Etta she would have changed her game a bit to match the original more. Real talk though, neither of them can touch the original. Christina has soul but not for this song and B doesn't have the feeling behind the song cause she hasn't went through what Etta has.

  • you r just like etta james beyonce u r the bom

  • even tho Etta is the only one who can truthfully put that power and forceful punch in the song.. because of course nothin is better than the original... i can't help but find this version better than the one that was recorded for the movie...

  • perfect!

  • I'm not comparing artists, just their take on this song. I see everyone talking about Christina's so I looked that up and while her voice is and probably forever will be monstrous, there's so much melisma in her version the words aren't so clear and it takes away from the emotion. She sounded great, but the vocal acrobatics could've been toned down, so I think Beyonce has the better version.

  • I don't know if I like hers or Aguilera's cover best.

  • Beyoncé plays well. She actually sings well. Christina is constantly lowering/raising her voice up and down every 1 second.

  • Beyonce did way mmuch better than christina

  • long live the blues!

  • I like Christina Aguilera doing this song better.

  • i love etta jame

  • Eh, Not big on this version. It's not terrible But NO ONE could sing this song better than Etta.

  • that is true, I am just glad they made a film about Etta's life I loved Cadaliac Records!

  • as a tribute it's ok B, but for your sick fans we got to let them know OUR girl Christina It's WAY better than B

  • she did ok to me

  • oh my god she 's perfect i love you beyoncé

  • yes b - u killed it -killed it = best rendition hands down - IMO

  • Christina Aguilera holds that last note longer and better than beyonce

  • Christina did way better, has way more range than beyonce

  • bitch i give yo orops for dis

  • beyonce rox all the way luv ya b

  • I prefer the Celine's version

  • This performance brought tears to my eyes. what a beautiful rendition. When she thanked Etta--that just got me. Can't wait for this movie to show

  • 3:27 the best!!!prefer christina's of course...

  • christina is great vocalist but this song is soulful...christina doesn't have soul in vocals. beyonce has more soul in her voice but still didn't come close to touching the original!!!:)

  • I just listened to Christina's and she started out extremely flat, and she had several pitch issues throughout the song.

  • I loved the speech at the beginning from Beyonce about Etta James! :D

    but this was beautiful, I can't wait to see Cadillac Records, I wish it wasn't rated R though :[

  • beyonce sang this song so well!!! i cant wait to see her preformance in her new movie!!!!

  • I wonder how Chrisette Michelle would sound singing this song...just a thought.
