The BIG Blog - Etta James Disses Beyonce On Stage

[JackFox13]

you are just so wrong

[durrrr13]

terry fator (imo) the puppet comedian singer covers with song(with his mouth closed) better than beyonce

[winrx]

It's kind of in bad taste to "diss" another performer like that, but I respect her for not "frontin" like a lot of people do these days.....

[ronaldgipson2]

The bottom line Is, She should have gotten permission to sing her song. Etta James has every write to feel the way she feels. It could easily be taken as a sign of DISRESPECT.

[VibrantBeautyBaBy]

Everyone keeping up for ETTA....MAJOR PROPS!

As far as teeny bopper Beyonce.....Ugh....Open up your ears people PLEASE! & the guy who made this video....Get a life big boy & realize REAL talent!

R.I.P Etta James♥

That beautiful voice will be missed-

[NiicloaBoo]

THTS FUCKED UP SHE JUST MAD CUZ BEYONCE SUNG THT SONG BETTER THAN HER

[durrrr13]

@NiicloaBoo LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLL 

[sam261007]

tiny mic.

[thruthseeker83]

I can understand why Ms.Etta Is upset she paid her dos She a living legend athe the first black presidents couldnt unvite her to sing.Ms.Etta has been threw alot and overcame it all I would be pissed to !!!!!

[ActionFiggaOne]

that was so mean...what the hell. i dont care if she's a legend or not, that was straight up mean spirited and bee didnt say anything or do anything to her to deserve that.

[Chrlezbaby89]

Etta maybe should not have said ALL that, but she opened doors for a LOT of young women like Beyonce. And no way anybody EVER, ANYWHERE, SANG THAT BETTER THAN ETTA!!! BTW, Miss Etta is dying of Alzheimer's and Leukemia. Y'all need to show some respect. She won't be around much longer.

[JoanieDoeShadow]

Etta James is right.

[hitman353elmst]

Etta is here...alive and well. She was singing this great song back before anyone could even image having a black man in the white house. So for her to be alive still doing her thang and not be invited to sing her OWN dam song!!! I would be snapping off to.

[MaryMarie09]

gosh! she such a lil kim!

[gamblerCriminal]

fuk u big nat u a bitch etta james gets more gots more respect den ugly ass beyonce fuk dat hoes etta should whoop her ass fuck jayz to an his freemason family

[mrjoeljoel]

I think it's safe to say Beyonce AIN'T gonna have a 60 year career.

[HeavyCmac1126]

I think her old ass needs to worry about her drug and health issues before talkin down on beyonce for killin it like she never did before....

[HeavyCmac1126]

I think her old ass needs to worry about her drug and health issues before talkin down in beyonce for killin it like she never did before....

[lilwayne1394]

it wasnt even etta's song!!! At Last was first sang by Ray Eberle, and the Glen Miller orchestra, in the early forties...

[ajo428]

and by the way ladychink naw beyonce shouldve taken it like a compliment cas etta payed her dues besides im pretty sure she was joking around old people kid around too she clearly gave beyonce the ok to do the movie and nearly cried when beyonce sang her song to her at the oscars so its not that serious people beyonce dont need yall defending her shes a big girl and too busy counting her millions to give a shit if u defend her or not

[ajo428]

i m pretty sure she was just kidding and she tried obama way harder people take nothing and blow it up to be such a big controversy and babybo82 is right the way was paved for black singers today by black singers from the 50s and 60s (etta) who were treated like shit so artist like beyonce could sing without being treated so bad but its not that serious she clearly gave beyonce the ok to sing the song and do the movie

[lauraakatehutton]

its funny, she states it is 'her song', when she isn't even the original singer.. also i think it so wrong to dis beyonce, its not her fault she got asked to sing it, as much as i adore etta james' voice, after watching this, my respect for her has gone way down hill

[LadyChink]

shes way too old to be throwing shade at beyonce.. she shouldve taken it as a compliment that she sung her song, nd sung it well... maybe they wouldve asked u to sing it if u didnt have that nasty ass attitude.. Jennifer Holliday didnt act like that.. Etta came off as a real bitch, nd not in a good a way.. hang it up, flatscreen.. kk im done

[sappattack01]

TEAM ETTA

[Kendra2414]

No ppl dont understand, Etta gave blessings 4 movie only... But if i'm gonna sing Beyoncy's song @ a huge event then I need Beyonce's permission. Now if u ask me, Etta should sue da Bitch ass well as any other artist will.

[johnluc20]

Ms. James comments were disheartening. Those were the kind of people my parents pointed to and said, not to be like. I'm a parent of six and a grand parent of six and have yet to see, one of mine display this type of behaver toward any body. I grew up in the 50's and 60's and this was something we did not do. You hung your landry in the back yard not the front! Ask your parents or grand parents what that means. P.S. To disrespect the Presindent is unexcusable.

[KukuByrd88]

@johnluc20 who cares what she said about the president...Etta James is a REAL american...we're still trying to find out where Obama really was born...and shes right that song is her trademark whether she wrote it or not...it was very disrespectful for them to ask Beyonce to sing Etta's song...and for Beyonce to accept...If they really wanted Beyonce to sing they should've had her sing one of her own song...she can't hold a candle to Etta James on that song...

[msreen]

LOL Careful Etta you might break a hip

[MsKeshia09]

I understand Etta was upset. You have to look at it at her point of view. She went through alot in her time and singing for the president would have been a dream come true for her. She was probaly upset with Obama also for not asking her to sing her song. When Beyonce was asked to sing that song, she could have asked Ms. Etta if it was okay to sing it if she really wanted to sing it and if Ms. Etta said no, she could have told who ever asked her no, or suggested that they have Etta sing it.

[1kimmeyindawrld]

etta just was hurt 

[Gunnarsas]

Etta James never wrote that song - she has no rights to the song.

[babybo82]

AND if it wasn't for artist like Ms. Etta James, Beyonce wouldn't be able to get up on alot stages and shake her ass for some of these white folks and stay in the SAME hotel as some of these white folks! I'm just gone keep it real! These younger generations just do not have respect for ppl in my mom's generation like Etta James! It's ridiculous! If they didn't march and stand up for OUR rights we wouldn't have ALOT of opportunities that us ppl of color have today. That's a slap in their face! :(

[ActionFiggaOne]

@babybo82 But the thing is beyonce didn't deserve what Ms. james said about her. beyonce looks up to her and everyone knows that, the fact that she was asked to sing one of her idol's songs was probably an HONOR for her. i know she's a legend, but face it, she was downright wrong for saying those things about Beyonce. she didn't do anything to the woman.

[babybo82]

No, I totally disagree wit anybody saying that she don't have a right to be pissed about that. That was straight disrespectful for her to be up there singing that woman's song like that! I don't care WHO asked her to do that but as an artist, she should have had the utmost respect and said "No, but I'll sing one of my own". The woman is still living so they should have asked her to do it especially since this a historic moment when in Etta's time blacks couldn't hardly do ANYTHING!

[justbroadway]

Etta James has alzhimers thats why she made the comment, Instead of making negative comments try sending her some positive energy so that she can overcome her disease. Peace!

[MrFalconford]

Mr. Biig Blog I'm Mr. Big Blog there how do you like it?

[JaznDel]

there are some songs from certain legends should not be touched etta is a legend & her powerful soulful voice made this song a legend. Beyonce, paid tribute to etta, yes but she couldnt touch this song & glve the song the soul that etta gave it. Yes etta has aged, but still in her golden years, powers out HER song. Beyonce will also age, will she still have the ability? I appreciate her tribute but folks,she got paid for it... etta rep is not tarnished, not by far.

[FyahRedGoddeSS]

@JaznDel ...I been saying this on almost every video on youtube where they have that girl destroying ETTAS CLASSICS. But people call me a hater and many more names (not like I care..lol)...anyway...you said exactly what I've been sayin and I feel you completely! Ettas songs should have never been touched! PERIOD!!!! beyonce voice is no where near the range of ETTAS in her prime and even now. ETTA is real, and sorry beyonce....BUT YOU CAN'T FAKE SOUL!

[JaznDel]

@FyahRedGoddeSS you are so RIGHT ON!!.. i have been called the same, but most of them don't know talent and like you, i dont give a rats a** about what they have to say... the difference between those and myself is i recognize real talent.. dont get me wrong, the girl is beautiful, but just because you're beautiful, that doesn't mean you posses talent..

[FyahRedGoddeSS]

@JaznDel Once again....no need to comment....lol.....you are brilliant

[JaznDel]

@FyahRedGoddeSS @FyahRedGoddeSS . the music industry has plummeted in as far as talent goes.. today most of artist just needs a catchy phrase and looks... sex sells everything (hooking up with a record producer doesn't hurt either)..in the old days, they had to earn their place on the charts... which as time went on made them legends, this due to their talents and hard work!!!

[FyahRedGoddeSS]

@JaznDel ....no need to respond to this comment....because you just took the words right outta my MOUTH ...."YOU JUST SPOKE A MAJOR TRUTH"

[JaznDel]

@FyahRedGoddeSS @FyahRedGoddeSS she has pissed off other greats.. she referred to tina turner (by the way who is absolutely incredible in her talent and style and made one hell of a come back in the 80's big time, saw her in concert, she was absolutely incredible, but if you listen to alot of their tunes back in the day, they're more pop/rock... "i.e. "nutbush city limits", "rollin down the river", among others)

[FyahRedGoddeSS]

@JaznDel ...yeah....I love me some Tina! .....You know what? I don't think she even really cares too much for beyonce FAKE ASS!!!! Did you see when beyonce stepped on Tinas feet during their Grammy performance?...Tina looked as if she was ready to kick that b*tch ass!!!...LmaO

[JaznDel]

@FyahRedGoddeSS she referred to tina as "THE QUEEN OF SOUL" when everyone in their right mind that ARETHA FRANKLIN is and will always be the "QUEEN OF SOUL"... whooaaaa, think she should have done her homework first... Tina is a legend for sure, but get the rightful title, rightfully deserved by these artist first!!

[FyahRedGoddeSS]

@JaznDel beyonce is self motivated ...."THAT'S FIRST and FOREMOST"! Second Tina can't hold a candle to Aretha Franklin...."PERIOD"!!!!! So I agree with you, granted Tina is a Legend in her own right, but to say she is the QUEEN OF SOUL? Clearly beyonce is DELUSIONAL! She is a very insecure girl....which is why she has yet to give birth to a child. SHE CAN'T STAND FOR ANOTHER PERSON TO GET ATTENTION....

[bookshika]

@FyahRedGoddeSS WELL BITCH SHE PREGNANT NOW AND U JUSTA FUCKIN HATER BEYONCE ALWAYS SAYS HOW SHE LOOKS UP TO THESE ARTIST AND THEY ARE INSPERATION FOR HER TO EVEN PLAY THE ETTA JAMES ROLE SHOWS JUST HOW MUCH SHE PAYS OMAGE TO HER CAUSE ALOT OF PPL ONLY WENT TO SEE THAT MOVIE CAUSE BEYONCE WAS IN IT AND SHE DONATED ALL HER THE MONEY SHE MADE FROM THAT MOVIE TO CHARITY GET UR HATIN ASS OFF HERE DUMB BITCH I DONT SEE HOW PPL CAN HATE ON A ARTIST I DONT HATE ON NO BODY U JUS REAL FUKN DUMB

[JaznDel]

@FyahRedGoddeSS what also blows me away is there are videos that compares etta and beyonce singing doing etta's tune... ahhhh, how bout comparing the video at etta's prime with beyonces prime, or beyonce and etta when beyonce is at that age.. and even at etta's age, she still kicks butt on her stuff.

[FyahRedGoddeSS]

@JaznDel I agree

[JaznDel]

@FyahRedGoddeSS Respond to this video..... now if they want to compare a modern day female artist with beyonce who is a modern day pop artist, then compare her to ALICIA KEYS... sorry but i tell you what, all of beyonces talent does not add up to the talent in one of alicia's finger... now that woman's got talent.

[FyahRedGoddeSS]

@JaznDel ....I love this comment!

[logarock]

Why not post a younger picture of Etta? Beyonce is gona be a bumb old braud one of these days. Etta and many others broke ground man!

[JaznDel]

@logarock you are absolutely right!

[collinsboy21]

I love old people but............. CLEARLY Ms. Etta James has some issues going on in her life uhmmm she missed bingo that night LOL! like is she serious i thought Beyonce did a great job talking about kicking Ass baby if she don't sit her dust bunny Ass down somewhere i can't believe this was coming out of her mouth WOW! shocker.......... guess she didn't like it oh well somebody put Etta to sleep of in a home............ all that!

[Chocolatecarma]

@ imhappy.. you must be on some other mess because Beyonce has done more than put the time in and like you said etta is a legend not a PRESENT STAR.. example.. Pattie LaBelle is a legend and A Current STAR.. Beyonce respected etta and is a better example of how female artist should be without the drugs or booz

[Chocolatecarma]

the song beyonce song did not belong to Etta James CLEARLY she was not the writer or owner of the song.. and in the case of what happened in her era with whites taking their songs lyrics is surely not at all the case heremm she is simply pissed of the recognition that BEYONCE brought to the song and not her own name and voice..

[Riskylucas]

WAT Etta James should be thankfull wit her old AZZ she just mad that the presindent didnt asked her to sing there and ownly why that is because Beyonce is better than her

[dlock3tt]

Personally I think Etta has a point. Back then in the music industry they dealt with whites and people who were in better positions stealing their hard earned work, and songs that they wrote with their pain and dedication. Now she has witnessed this all over again. Her song on stage for the President should have had SOME sort of acknowledgement for her. I'm a poet and when I write my heart and all is in my words...for someone to steal it is betrayal...point blank.

[JaznDel]

@dlock3tt you go!!! tell it like it is!! enlighten these people!!

[Makiba08]

A women of her age should not speak about someone young enough to be her granddaugter in that way...Etta should know better...she would not want an old woman to talk about whipping her grandchild's ass.

[stewbaby90]

Etta need to shut her old ass up. Beyonce played her good in the movie. And beyonce sung her ass off when she sung At Last. And beyonce sung it without the crack. So old people like her need to stay old and be quiet.

[totally52]

I wonder to Etta have any children - did Etta stop to think how beyonce parents would feel about having a woman old enough to be beyonce grandmother attack her in this manner. Shame on you Etta. Aplogize to beyonce.

[brenden718]

What i dont get is that Beyonce played Etta in Cadillac Records and she was fine with it....So why the fuck is she being a dumb old braud now? ...She didn't even write the song, and besides Beyonce sung it way better....u can hear the crack(cocaine) in Etta's voice when she performs it....LMAO!

[jor99912]

Going form Jean Dushon to this Horrible

SPOOK is like being shot in the Head with a "LOG"".

They should not be on the "Music" pages!

[panzram97]

How she going to kick somebody's ass when she can't even get out of her chair?She's mad because she wasn't invited to the ball, and it's plain to see why.She thinks she's more important than the president

[ambergirl04]

Don't hate on Beyonce. She just doin on her job! Beyonce killed it!

[misscateyes]

Thats Not Right....Beyonce Looks Up To Her

[smiileyyface02]

I Know Right

[mrsmekifknbaby]

@misscateyes RIIIIGHT!! WTF?!?! wat a haterrr!! eta smh u should b proud of her as old as u are u sound so damn childish to say some shit like that about someone who looks up to u!! lets c if she will say the same about racheal crowe cuz dat lil girl sang the fuck outta that song!! TAKE THAT ETTA JAMES aka whoever u are!

[LesBeeOn]

what camera do you use?

[mzti925]

she really needs to stop hatin on my babesz beyonce (NOHOMO)

[wallacelanda]

what is the wrong with her beyonce is amazing artist. Etta james no disrespect but beyonce is it. and u were never on it like beyonce. so just face it and stop hatin. b is what every man and some women want

[tarah333]

Etta is a legend but that does not give her the right to speak such harsh things about Beyonce. b is my girl and ill love her till the end.

[GREGWmusicTV]

I can't believe she made such an immature remark like that at her age...

then again... they did say she was on DRUGS!!!!

[myraj34dd]

Etta's earned hers! "Bouncy" got to put the time in and produce the talent!

[JiggaNeshia]

Ok etta is jst a hater! FAKEE; How you gonna be nice to someone when they around then once they leave tlk shit bout them on the RADIO; man say that shit to her face.. And she said she gone whoop her ass AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. no no yall may think B cant fight because of her personality or her appearance But i bet you if someone laid a hand on her she would bring out SASHA FIERCE shiieet ! Man Etta is jst Fake point blank period.

[JiggaNeshia]

Wait wait my fault it wasnt on the RADIO it was at some concert or some shiett like that!

MY FAULT.. i was mad hehe

[msscandalous01]

She should be lucky that Beyonce, a woman with a beautiful voice, sang her song way better than she did rather than someone such as Ashanti or Ciara...

Shouldnt Etta be a greeter @ walmart or waiting for SSI?

[imhappywithmyself]

ha ha ha etta james is legend shes in the rock roll hall of fame not beyounce shes not realley singer like that on some real stuff real talk

[TeeRells711]

etta should be thankful that anybody as good as beyonce actually brong more light to the song other wise that song wouldnt be remembered like it was

[travisdevose]

naw beyonce should thankful for ett paving the road for black womensingers.besides sounds like she had 1 to many drinks and was loose liped(sounds like she was having fun

[ourperfectsoul]

respect should be given where respect is due.. take it as you may ... lol i love the conterversy ... but you know it would be funny to see tina knowles(beyonce's mom) and etta james go at it ...they look like sisters anyway

[sampson22micah]

well in a way i kind see where etta is coming from if they wanted dance to that song why not get the original person to sing it i mean she is still alive but she did not have to go hard on the girl like that. she was wild

[stlshaker]

dont listen to etta james my father was telling me she waz looney in the mind thats all she probly got mad because she might have not got paid for it but i dont know i love beyonce and etta james i know beyonce iz angry but hell shell get ova it life goes on

[bornthreat86]

While I may not agree with what Etta said, "At Last" is her song and I imagine she was hurt when Beyonce sang it for the President and First Lady. I think Beyonce is all about Beyonce.

[kimmy49605]

first of all..i think beyonce sang that song beautifal..and wel it was the perfect song.. to choice..for that dance.. and second of all why would etta james say those things..beyonce respects her so much and admires her..i dont think beyonce did that on perpose.... and etta james shouldnt b tlkin..i think beyonce made her song even more famous..and 2 me it sounded better..but thats my opinion..

[danidollaz]

No, etta has a right to her own opion. i mean it is her song maybe someone should have told her they were gonna sing it , or better yet ask her to sing it with beyonce but she said Obama was not her president so I guess that wouldn't work what ever people need something to bitch about

[mrwill1071]

Etta James had her time to shine, she should be honored that Beyonce did Caddillac Records and did a respectable portrayal of Etta, because Etta was much worse than they showed her in the movie. She should apologize and praise B for keeping the name, music, and person in the light to be remembered

[pliesboo09]

Etta James need to go and sit on her old ass Beyonce sing it better then her old ass anyway Etta James aint shit and why in the hell would she say some shit like that about our first black pres.

[2brandonlxd]

she should be pround any body remember her old dusty self beyonce keep doin wat you doin etta james is old self. at last was a good song but what other songs did she have sorry

[Karla92205]

i think etta has a point ..like thats disrespectful for beyonce to first of all use her own singing voice when portraying etta james in cadillac records and then to sing ettas song that she wrote herself for president obama was not cool ...they should have at least offered etta to sing her own song and if not then beyonce should have sang one of her own songs..etta should not have came at beyonce in that manner but hey..thats etta and she dont give a fuck who she piss off. both of them are gr8

[mikedirtee]

no etta james did not have a right to do that. and of course beyonce gone sing the song in her own voice come on now! because if she would have tried to sing the song like etta james that would have been something elso to complain about.plus beyonce put etta james old self back in the spotlight. so she can gone. that wasnt cool at all.

[wweyoungster05]

Etta dont like Obama >:( Assanate that Biatch Im jk lol

But Etta know she was wrong

And Beyonce know she was wrong she always stilling people songs

[mikedirtee]

she aint steal it learn how to spell idiot. if she was portraying etta james in the movie then she is gonna sing her song duh.

[nmc016]

etta is right all of you haters are wrone beyonce sux and needs to b original!!!

[Dimpson]

well i think etta is jus mad cud she wasnt invited ta sing her song.... Beyonce didnt do none wrong.... etta jus hatin cud B got ta sing it and not her... etta u too old they wana see the new thangs in life....

[mikedirtee]

right right

[Minordd3]

Oh! Tina Knowles needs to jump in on this one!!! And smack the sht'y-sh't out of Etta James!!

Go play bingo!!! Hey when she wins she can sing..."At last. My luck has come along. My broke days are over. And like is like a 40oz of Malt liquorrrrrr!!!!"

[mikedirtee]

lol

[DollarBill26]

Also Etta is a fake ass hoe because if u look @ beyonces performance of At Last @ last years fashion rock celebration, she was singing to Etta James and at the end Etta got up and was clapping 4 her. If this was how she felt she should of got up and walked out then. Old bag of bones, just hatin bcuz beyonce got 2 sing 4 Obama and she didnt

[DollarBill26]

Fuck dat old ass hoe! She should b thanking beyonce for reminding people her old ass is still alive. Dont b mad that they wanted sum1 current 2 sing the song. Ettas senile ass aint been current 4 about 50 years or so. And how she gonna go on Obama? Sum1 better give her, her meds quick fast and in a hurry b4 she get delt wit!

[BiteThis2007]

Etta James better sit her dusted ass down somewhere... that ungrateful ass heffa. She should be thankin' Beyonce for even portrayin' her in the movie and singin' the song helpin' Etta to bring back her fame. That ungrateful ass albino bat.

[jinson253]

they shoulda gave Etta the honers of singing her own damn song while she still alive. and y the hell are they gonna make a movie of someone while they still alive? that don't make real sence. man it would've made more sence haveing her sing at the inaugural since she's been through it all.

[ts19180]

I question the whole thing. The way the people were laughing in the background it sounds as if it could have been a joke. And how do we know that this is etta's voice. Besides they cut if off so we dont know what really happen after that...she could have said sike but idk. LOVE Beyonce and I enjoy Etta's music but Etta should appreciate beyonce introducing her music to this new decade, especially when beyonce kilt the performance in the movie and in the white house!

[armany02]

but i'm a bit confused...if the feelings were so strong against Beyonce and her rendition of "At Last," how in the hell did she pull off an ENTIRE movie all about Etta? I would love to hear what Etta has to say about that, lol.

[thedpr]

I'm with Etta. Beyonce got nothing near the range.

[romanhottie29]

Get ya game on, Etta!

[Melcs0fly]

Etta James need to take her old ass somewhere and sit down. When Beyonce' first did that song, Etta was the first person to say how good she sound. The real reason she is mad is because President Obama didnt ask her old wrinkled ass to sing to him. And she mad because out of all the people that remade that song including her, Beyonce' sound better. GO OBAMA & BEYONCE' !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tlcmac]

Etta is tryna do too much! Because Beyonce sung her song some people are discovering who she even is! She just needs to stop. That whole little speach wasn't even cute!

[audreymartinezzz]

HAHAHA! i love etta james! Beyonce has that awful vibrato that sounds like a turkey being strangled! lol. And Obama looks like a rat with those big ears as well!!! lol. OBAMA ISNT MY PRESIDENT EITHER THATS FOR SURE!

[Gotchasucka]

You sound as ignorant as Etta does, but I'm sure she was on something. You and Etta better start packing your bags.

[Torey89]

Yea you rite! She do need to go play bingo...cracked out ass!!!

[susgent]

etta you still got more blues than her and your comment on big ears was right target. you are one of the greats seen you with jimmie vaughn in nashville tn and you realy got the blues baby keep cranking it out .boyonce anit got shit on you honey.

[Gotchasucka]

Etta had her time to shine, why is she hating on a young black female, who is shining now. Typical! like crabs in a barrel!

[shandasa10]

Etta James should be ashamed of herself, she is so two faced all up in B's face one minute and then talking bout her the next and she suppose to be a legend she should be proud that B would sing her old ass song. Someone call REHAB i think she has relasped!!!!!

[jasmineishot17]

Etta james is a hater! point balnk period.... she just mad that B sang her song better than she EVER did! and ahe aint strung the fuck out! if Barack wanted her to sing he would have asked her old ass! and there are plenty of pictures of Beyonce and Etta James together and her old ass aint say nothing then! She just mad!

[babybo82]

@jasmineishot17 You done lost yo damn mind thinking that Beyonce sang that song better than she did. Have you ever heard Etta sing that song?! I seriously doubt it! That woman sang her soul in that song & whoever asked Beyonce to sing that song was just as direspectful! If it wasn't for Etta & other older black artists to go thru what they went thru in the '50s & '60s, there wouldn't BE no damn Beyonce! You young folks better recognize! On some real shit...

[marc16107]

@babybo82 your chatting out of ass etta feels the blue`s beyonce impersonate`s the blue`s . beyounce is great but your wrong she did`nt sing at last better i think that you must tone death either that or just fu*king stupid.

[Nonofthatnonsense]

It's sad that our older black women aren't supporting the young black women. I'm a artist myself and singing is a talent that God gives and Etta today acted like the devil and Obama is our president and the first one that I am proud to say is.

[Gotchasucka]

Nonofthatnonsense-I couldn't have said it better myself! U R so right!

[Nonofthatnonsense]

Etta is a hateful person and she needs some self healing. B is very talented and she isn't trynna be Etta James. She is being B. And B is a way bigger star in her time than Etta was in hers. It's sad that our older black women aren't supporting the young black women. I'm a artist myself and singing is a talent that God gives and Etta today acted like the devil and Obama is our president and the first one that I am proud to say is.

[babybo82]

@Nonofthatnonsense It WAS disrespectful. She had a reason 2 be angry but not the way she expressed it. Being that Obama is our 1st Black prez they should have asked her 2 sing the song! As u know in the '50s & '60s black artists had 2 spend nites in their cars, couldn't eat in the same restaurants as whites, etc. That should've been an honour 4 them 2 hear her sing that song look'n back @ what her & other artists endured. "At Last" us as a ppl got 2 C the day a black man got @ step foot in ofc!

[topaze1104]

I have always loved Etta James' music, and Trust in me and At Last are my favorite songs by Ms. James..

Etta is angry, bitter and spewing venom. She should leave the President out of this, This about jealousy. Sing Beyonce. Etta if you can still sing it, sing it.

[Dominique913]

I agree with Etta.

[Bishtian]

Why would you agree? She didn't write the dog on song.

[Dominique913]

I'm just saying I understand why she's upset. Etta James has been singing that song longer than Beyonce has been alive, and Beyonce sings the song once on a movie and she's invited to sing it at Obama's Inauguration. I'm not condoning what she said, I just understand why she said it.

[blackmocha07]

i agree with this

[JiggaNeshia]

Wtf beyonce was invited because obama loves her and that song was great for that moment!

[Gigi3758]

Oh My God!! Etta James is drunk and high and in that order! She is mad that beyonce sang the song better than her! Beyonce resurrected this old bitch from the grave who was thinking about etta james until the movie cadillac records? She should be grateful to beyonce the rest of the short time she has left old bat!! She was so saused up!! What a shame

[AmbienceWarrior]

Wow. Lol I remember my kin listening to her music but please Beyonce isn't that fucking great. If anything she uses too many runs and she won't be remembered because of her singing but because of the people that get her advertised a lot. I laughed at that recording.

"At Last...written by Mark Gordon and Harry Warren in 1941 for the musical Orchestra Wives...In 1957 Nate King Cole recorded it...and you (Etta) recorded it in 1960...So your mad the she sung a cover of "your" song that you in fact covered yourself...turning what was a beautiful moment to this mess is silly...why didn't you say that at the Fashion Rocks event or the CR movie premier..I would just think that you would have more class than 28 yr old..she had nothing but luv for u...disappointing
