  • I think she did good

  • Hey, please watch my cover of this song! :)

  • Etta James Version is a million times better.

  • Beyonce is a tremendous talent, however this songs is Etta's!!!! The grit and soul in Etta's voice is amazing. When you listen to Etta sing At last or I'd rather go blind you feel that you are living her words. Etta went through some turbulent times and you could feel it in her voice. Sorry I admire Beyonce, but don't get it twisted she has a ways to go before earning legendary status!! Rest in Paradise Etta.

  • @misseslynch I agree with you wholeheartedly. Beyonce has a good voice, but Etta James transformed this song into a masterpiece. Etta was a true artist. The same cannot be said of Beyonce who does not have the depth and grit Etta possessed. And that voice! Etta's voice seemed to have limitless range. Beyonce's voice is fine voice but adequate. The fact that Beyonce performed this song at the presidential inaugural dinner leaves a lot of us ole-timers speechless. R.I.P, Etta.

  • yah beyonce sings it better no offense etta but r.i.p

  • Rest well, Sweet Etta.

  • Go stick your thumb up your arse Beyonce.

  • Her voice is so effortless. She is amazing <3

  • For J.

  • thumbs up if you're here because of According to Jim :)

  • bravo!!!

    

  • triple threat.. actress, singer, and performer.. flawless.

  • I hate how everyone says Beyonce is over singing it. She's singing it with emotion and doing her own take on a classic song, She wasn't trying to out do Etta James, she was doing it for her. The song is lovely, whether Etta or Beyonce is holding the mic.

  • People who say Beyonce sings this better than Etta James herself know absolutely nothing about music and passion put into music. The tone of Beyonce's voice is completely wrong for this song-- someone like Adele or the late Amy Winehouse would be so much better.

  • @Ranasinginintherain I doubt that makeup artists could get them to look like Etta tho...

  • @pleezahful Well, obviously. I'm just saying in an auditory sense... not the visual. I'm well aware of the fact that you can't magically transform white skin into black lol.

  • Beyonc'e was all around better than Etta,simply a fact.

  • Its most lovely by either performer !!!!!

  • How In The Hell Can Beyonce Sing Etta James Songs Bettter Than Her!!!!!! Wow I'm Speechless And That Never Happens!!!!! Lol

  • I see why Beyonce da baddest n da game...she got it, I definitely give it to her. She beautiful, she can sing, act....da girl is da truth!!!!!!!

  • omg this so mad me cry everytime i hear it

  • JUST, WOW!

  • i accept this version by Beyonce, but.. Etta' s version is strong and makes me smile, and cry...So BRAVO Beyonce, but i love Etta James.

  • what makes this video so bad is those goons in the back

    grown smoking and trying to look like they are something, no one wants to see them and when people want to hear Beyonce. They do noting for the music but make people sick.

  • i just said mad respect to etta. i am is in my time so i like her better.im only 22. TheGermany94 i understand ur point.

  • Luv dis version way better. !!!

  • Not dissin beyonce cuz i love her and this version but etta did it better and with more soul. And why are we bringin christina into this??! She doesnt even close to compare to etta or beyonce!

  • Omg Beyonce emotes like no one else, but Christina is a powerhouse of vocals so they are both at the same level.

  • For me Christina's version is way better..

  • @TheDanny2a For me, a version that does not contain chronic oversinging, such as Beyonce's, was way better. :)

  • @ManOfBamboo I prefere Christina's version but yes Beyonce's version is great :)

  • @TheDanny2a Well, at least you admit that Beyonce's version was great lol. :)

  • Etta James disliked this.

  • @ccCiaakatrice actually Etta James really liked the movie

  • we def have our favs! buhh Etta James was like their 50/60's version of an amazing voice.. nd she is an original! this generation Beyonce is the Etta bh more of our modern! :) Both Veryy Lovely! buhh Bee yuu def got some soul in yah girl!lol..

  • omg. i love the beyonce version better! but mad respect to etta james. no disrespect.

  • @MsLolipop76 that's not fair if Etta James had the schooling we have now a days she would have kill her at this but back then u had to learn on your own these notes were not even possible back then

  • Respond to this video...but beyonce did good

  • etta james sounds terrible singing any of her songz

  • beyonce murdered this song my kids even sings it

  • Very good, but doesn't have the soul that Etta James' version has. Etta drew from her own life. Beyonce just hasn't been there.

  • Oglądałam ten film jak na razie tylko raz, jest bardzo piękny.Beyonce tu świetnie gra no i w ogóle wszyscy aktorzy są świetni.Etta ma piękny głos, Beyonce również dlatego pasuje jej rola Etty. Poruszający :)

  • I love that song. And this is my favorite scene from Cadillac records. Thank you for posting this.

  • nice vocals
