  • Beyonce playing Beyonce

  • i thought she was gonna sing 'someone like you' by adele.

  • This movie is amazing but ppl let their hatred for Beyonce get in the way of what the movie really is about.

  • @TheNiktendo "a thousand times more real and soulfelt"... yeah maybe because its etta james's song, beyonce did played the role amazingly. you give me one person better suited for this role alive today.

  • Please go look at my girl sing this song from this movie. Type n Tasia Stumon

  • Love it!

  • @TheNiktendo you sound dumb as hell !

  • I REALLY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR A HATER.. BEYONCE HAS TALENT.. BOTH SINGING AND ACTING... HOW DRAMATIC SHOULD SHE BE IN THIS ROLE... SHE SERVED HER PURPOSE AND DID A GREAT JOB...

  • i worked with etta from 82 t0 85 played drums my name is BEEDO freedy beckmier played bass and brian ray played guitar. that was some of the best times i had on the road and backing a lady that could keep the bad cookin even when the power went off at a new orleans gig THERE AIN,T NOBODY LIKE ETTA remember i gave donte drum lessons and artis was always on the case. BLESS YOU

  • @disneyismyheart247 t's the other guy's brother

  • @Elizabetta15 Ok, thanks a lot!

  • Beyonce tickles the mess out of me with her down home Houston Texas accent of hers when she talks LoL!!! But when she opens up that mouth of hers and starts singing.........that is one sanging girl!!!

  • One of Adrien Brody's best performances and certainly Jeffrey Wright's best performances.

  • this part is the bomb!!!

  • Part 2 : Also, Etta was discovered by Johnny Otis (He either saw her performing at a club or she auditioned for him after one of his shows depending on who you ask.) and her career was going strong long before she was signed to Chess. Whether Beyonce's performance is good or bad is something I don't think about--I'm too engrossed in the movie as a whole. I'm just grateful that somebody, anybody wanted to tell the Chess Records story.

  • I loved this movie. But though they say the story is "fairly accurate", the real story is that Etta and Chess probably didn't have a "thing" like they're intimating here and in "Who Do You Love", the other Chess biopic (Also, "Who" has Bo Diddley, which "Cadillac" doesn't)--it's a plot twist added for flavor (and Etta was married--when she got busted for heroin, her husband took the rap and spent years in prison so she wouldn't have to go through the ordeal of jail--a loving sacrifice for sure)

  • "i aint shy fool!" loollllllllll

  • Comment removed

  • love this film and beyonce is amazing in it <3

  • Beyonce is one of the best singers ever & people have the nerve to say she can't. I mean I understand if you don't like her, not everyone has to like her but you can't deny the fact Beyonce has some real vocals & if you don't that is pure hating.

  • @PhreShPimpCeSS that's what i be saying !! people be trying to find all types of reasons aka(lies,false rumors) to make up about this young 28 yr old 16 grammy award winning singer!!

  • @Beyoncefan1000 Thank you!!!! They really do love to hate on her...and will search for reasons to do so!!

  • this was her best performance. like when she met her father. that scene was raw. really good.!!!

  • @tcptcp123 there used to be a clip on here when she's in the restaurant talkin bout her dad that was wicked...cnt find it any more tho :|

  • Beyonce's acting is very weak. She should stick to singing. The movie was good though

  • i think Beyonce did a good job...she just isn't as soulful as Etta James...I think an artist has to live a certain life to get that Etta James passion and soul to their voice.

  • 0:33 Dhats My SHit lol haha

  • Ms knowles is not only a fantastic singer, she is also an accomplished actress. Ms James is one of the greats. Vocals that show emotion and strenght. But shame on her for dis-respecting Ms. Knowles. Shows the true inter self. And it isn' t pretty.

  • starr522, cudnt hav said it betta myself- soo soo so true!

  • @Avalita07

    dude, not cool ur a hater

  • @Avalita07 B is amazing n her voice is unique y u think B got a grammy 4 singing etta song da proof is n da pudding

  • ya know it was that part when she first came that really got me excited. she was like " U wanna do it, rite here, rite now" and that got me excited because i thought

    " BOOYAH!! im gonna see beyonce naked" but that didn't happen....i cried

  • Lol i aint shy fool

  • She actually acted well in this movie!Too bad she couldn't get to show it to people because it didn't get the needed exposure.Then everyone went to see Obsessed, where she ruined it...

  • @ScrappyCoco64 no she didn't

  • This and Obsessed are her best acting performances...everything else is below par but she greatly improved

  • LMFAO "dont be lookin at me like I aint wearin no drawers" I havent seen this movie but Im definitely going to find it now,just to see how deep beyonce can get into character

  • Leonard Chess looked nothing like Brody...at all

  • Lolz who cares. its just a movie

  • Who is the guy she came in with? Anyone know? Btw, Beyonce CAN act. Actually, very well for someone who didn't start off as an actress, and began her career as a singer.

  • i know!

    most singers who try to become actresses suck

  • Exactly. Or the opposite, actresses that try to become singers...terrible! Lol!

  • And she never started off as a gud actress either!

  • True!

  • @disneyismyheart247 he's Shiloh Fernandez

  • @chumgatas LOL I know the actor's name I just didn't know who the character was. Thank you though!!!

    

  • that is not true u sound like a hater

  • SHE CAN ACT FFS!!!! STOP HATING HER!!!! She is funny in this movie

  • anyone know when the HELLLL this comes out in the UK?!! im dying to see my fave girl in action!!! x

  • Not to compare with Etta

  • wat an amazing voice

  • she was funny in this movie. i loved her in this one

  • you are so funny and you have a beatiful voice

  • she can really act so stop hating! go to musickidjg please

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome!!

  • yea she aint shy fool.lol

  • i like the a capella version better than the one with lyrics. she was the rite person who remade this song. sometimes people are better off leaving songs already recorded.

  • Beyonce's and Etta's voices have NOTHING to do with oneanother. It's just like when Diana Ross played Billie Holiday. Ridiculous. They're all good singers, but also sooo different that it is a completen nonsence to compare them...

  • How anyone could say this girl can't sing is beyond me! Her voice is like no other! She is so versatile! It is almost scary how good she really is!

  • wy??

  • NO no she did the part they way it was suppose to be done....thats why she got the part!

  • i agree

  • overdub?

    please...i think dub over is what you were trying to say

  • at 0:54 beyonce shows how to make haters...lol

  • Wow. And isn't Etta James the one who just said all that mess about Beyonce? I personally think she's being childish just because she sang her song at Obama's inauguration party. And if she didn't like Beyonce why did she let her play her? And I mean, I think it's quite clear that Beyonce is a big fan of hers. Etta is 70 some years old acting just childish!

  • That's Hollywood baby...

  • i finali felt sum emotion in her music but im stil nt feelin her actin. lets face facts she knt act

  • love ya beyonce!! :))

  • why do beyonce fans always put her on this fucking pedistal?

    knowing beyonce dont give a fuck about ya'll fans

    as long as ya'll buying her putting money in her pocket she straight

  • yep she don't give a fuck about her fans, she sho' nuff don't give a fuck about those who hate on her fans for likin her!....see, we all equally wasting our breath here

  • How do you know Beyonce was horrible as Etta. Did you know Etta James? Probably not so stop hating. I like B's music. Some of the comments that I hear she's made has made me sometimes see her in a negative light, but I try to keep in mind that I don't know B and that I don't know if the comments are true, Anyway, this is about whether or not she was convincing in her role as Etta. Only those who knew Etta can tell.I will say that she sang Church Bells amazingly well. Beyonce, you go girl!!!

  • So you made an account with her name on it, just to talk shit?

    Talk about no life.

  • ya just be hating like if u dont like her y watch it then, like wut is the point but like they say we need haters,and mean while ya hatin and talking shit about her who is getting paid damn sure not you. But anyway Beyonce did her thing in the movie i liked it a lot..but i wanna see her new movie coming out this year "Obsessed" it looks cool now we gotta see how she acts in a suspense/horror ..

  • wat you talkin bout?

  • Bey is that bitch! And has more talent the all the cunts in this industry put together! HI HATERS!!! Bey improves each movie and Ill give her her props she did good. She's no Halle but she did a very good job in this movie!

  • her acting was really good in this...she really stepped outside of herself for this role...and not just the diva attitude and the cursing but the scene where she was high and the scene where she was in the resturant she really sounded pained

  • i agree

  • For People 2 say she has no talent is juss CRAZY! I bet the people that say that couldnt sing 1/4 as good as her! i think its funny cuz the more u hate, the more she sells so keep on! lmao....

  • No ppl usualy don't make it this far becuz of "looks" she wouldn't have made it this far if it was just based on "looks" by all means keep hating though LMAO

  • you probably meant rihanna...shes the one who made this far because of the looks...beyonce has amazing talent!

  • I love how strong her voice is.

  • this part always makes me smile and almost cry...I love this chick so much...

  • I love Adrien Brody....and his big nose too!

  • HAHA that is cool! ^^ Funny to see an artist who apparently CAN act and doesn't just TRY to.

  • Everyone needs to stop comparing and contrasting black actresses and singers and really get the point of the film.. which is black people originated the music we love today and gave there hearts souls and lives and white people as usual took there sound and commercialized it and ran with it and they were left behind just like with most inventions!!! Now thats some shit to talk about????????

  • Beyonce was AMAZING in this movie. She is a GREAT actress.

  • everyone needs to shutup if you have anything negative to say, are any of yall actin in this movie? NO. so who the hell are you to judge? ppl all over the world are so jealous of beautiful black women that they will find anything to say to bring someones spirit down. stop hating and do something with your own lives

  • Jennifer Hudson was a first time actress, and she completely overshadowed everyone else in 'Dreamgirls'. for a girl who never acted before to completely take command of a movie over a singer who had already done a few movies says alot. beyonce needs to face reality. she is no actress. not in the least.

  • Is that a reason why she couldn't try? There is no need to compare to other talented people, that's like if anybody would run down the school quire because they don't sing as good as Il Divo... Off the recoord, I think she did really good in this one.

  • as far as trying to 'steal halle's spotlight'? LMAO, not in this lifetime. that's like comparing meryl streep to tara reid.

  • LMAO, this chick couldn't act if her life depended on it. mariah did better in 'Glitter'. anyone who thinks this girl can act has absolutely no idea what acting is.

  • Beyoncé is PERFECT !

  • What is the name of the song she is singing?

  • all i can do is cry

  • Hey I appreciate your passion for this topic and for Beyonce. But you gotta be kidding with the "she's trying to take Halle's spotlight." That's one of the silliest things I've ever heard. Critics are always talking about how Beyonce doesn't let anyone shine. And yet you seem to think that ONLY Halle should be the premiere black actress in Hollywood. I swear some of you "non-lovers" need to get a point, stick to it and make it reasonable. Otherwise you just come off sounding a bit loony.

  • To be honest with you I never thought Halle Berry was that good of an actress either. She can't carry a film in my opinion, I only liked her in maybe a handful of movies she's done. Beyonce on the other hand, her voice usually irritates me whether she's singing or speaking, and that's why I can't except her as an actress. There is also nothing special about her performance on screen, though I haven't seen Cadillac Records yet so the jury is still out on that one.

  • Just something to consider-- JenniferH won because of her singing performance. Her acting was amateurish most of the film with a few exceptions. She shone when she sang. Beyonce has a commitment to being a triple threat -- and the weakest skill, which she owns, is her acting. She's grown LEAPS and BOUNDS -- that's what an artist who's about her craft DOES. This film reflects her hard work. She sings these songs with the same energy, and sass of Etta. She CAN'T be Etta - she doesn't need to.

  • Great post, noiretoile. I've applauded Beyonce for recognizing that, though she isn't horrible, she does need help with her acting. It appears that she's gotten it and has been applying it to each new role. Of course there will be some who will see the improvement, but will only wish to say they saw nothing. She clearly loves what she does and it'd make sense for anyone to appreciate that.

  • Something for you to consider-singers win Academy Awards in the musical category, actors when in the acting category. She won for best supporting actress, period. People need to realize that and move on.

  • And another thing, Beyonce couldn't pull an Etta James song off as well as Etta, she does need to be Etta in this film.

  • god jul

  • god jul

  • dont be lookin at me like i aint got no draws on....lol

  • WOW U PPL GOT ISSUES...Barack is president and we hating in B??lol WOW Beyonce is a BEAST.. ok shes not the best actress..BUT ON THIS MOVIE SHE DID HER THING..even just 4 thirty min !!!! but its ur opinion !

  • I saw the movie and loved it! I though she really did justice to Etta! And her acting was right on!

  • Your annoyed by her voice and still you are looking at her videos and listening her songs?

    You need to re-think yourself because your confused.!

    If someone's shit annoys me, I would not be looking for them on youtube!

    and that goes for fckinhawt01 too!

  • Beyonce is da bomb. And though she's light skinned (and blond-haired like Etta). Jill Scott's jazzy voice and thickness would've been more passable as Etta.

  • I'm interested in seeing how many who are hatin on Beyonce's performance in this movie actually saw the whole movie? I'm not a Beyonce fan but I have to give her all the credit in the world for this movie. She was finally able to shed all of her "Beyonceness" and really take on this role and do Etta big time justice. I give her mad props for this one in both acting and vocals. Jennifer Hudson she's not but she's not trying to be either.

  • wonderful!

  • the full movie is on graboid video when you download it and subscribe, I saw it already, it was great

  • CARALHO. BEYOCNÉ EXCULACHOU HEIN?

  • You guys jennifer hudson can't act!!!!!
