Bey soung alright singing her own music, but she should stick to her own music. She does not have the technical ability or emotional depth to do classic soul music. Love her of trying though.
are you people nuts you can not compare any one to classic artist like etta james because if it wasn't for these artist like her and motown there would be no black artist having the success they do today have some respect she paved the way
I think Beyonce is the best Entertainer of our time and definitely better than Etta,but I think It's great that she does honor her,because Ms.Etta may have been a crackhead but she did open a lot of doors for female black singers and if she hadn't done that Bey couldn't do what she does oh sooo very wellllll
actually the song ws never hers to begin wwith!! tthe song was written back in the early '40s but, it somehow got to one of the songwriters of cadillac records and he introduced it to Etta James and of course in 1960 she recored it
Yes..i think she was pissed off for not being invited to the ball..however what a way to express her opinion,so unprofessional mouthing off on Beyonce.. its no wonder many doesnt have a freakin clue of who she was until Beyonce sang this song and played the role in the movie..Come to think of, why does Beyonce even bother, should have let some crack head played her part..it mite jus do justice to a former or still is a crack head called Etta James!!

"She is an idol to be cherished." Um, no! Jesus should be our only "idol". All else are false, especially someone as cruel, heartless, and OVER RATES as Etta James. She TALKED her way through that song all those years ago and even though I don't think Beyonce is a "PHENOMINAL" talent, she is still "GREAT" in her own right apart from this cover.
Im so sick of this old bitch thinking she is the number one.. she is great but damn.... why is she such a bitch about someone who made this song come alive for a new generation of music lovers.... Etta should be honored that a beautiful and distinguished singer such as Beyonce even sang this song.. stupid decrepid old bitch is just no thappy that Beyonce can out sing her old ass any day... hahahaha Go beyonce i love you
It's true: Etta James she isn't. But, then again, why do we need TWO Etta James' when we have "a" Beyonce AND "an" Etta at the same time?
Beyonce holds her own AMAZINGLY well. She lends souls, sassy, and tenderness to this song and it's an honorable tribute to a lady who could NEEEVVVVEEERRR be imitated.

Beyonce Makes this song sound like crap. quite Frankly I agree with Etta James.!!!!!! Oh yeah. Beyonce also dances 2 Damn hard looks like she's hurting herself. ALSO BEYONCE CANT & I MEAN CANT ACT! I WISH THAT SHE WOULD STOP>
Beyonce does this song awesomely. If it hasn't happened already, I hope that Beyonce releases this as a single for radio play. No, she's not like Etta James, but Beyonce still sings this song with excellence. Quite frankly, the rock music scene needs MUCH more remakes like this.
They did play Beyonce's version on the radio for a while. Maybe it was just in select cities, but i know i heard her version on the radio a few times around Dec and Jan. Havent heard it much lately on the radio tho.
Beyonce ,,,,,, tottly Awsome and Knows Whats she is doing ,,, imean Last year with he Idol Tina and now Etta james with Great movie coming Might rock the Oscer with it ................Daaaaaaamn She Rockin this biznezz :P
Beyonce is it boss. Just so you'd know. She has it all, i think for someone who has so much is very humble...:) she gets 100% in it all beauty, vocals, body gee!!
samyear thats a very stupid comment you dont know her personally so you dont know how humble she may be pls dnt judge and bee is one of the very best honey and her vioce is all that good! dont hate
I do not hate Beyonce i just think that lately she has been acting LIKE SHE IS THE SHIT.Girl please i know u can sing but u are not that good honey.Someone needs to humble her ass.Cuz honey u do not have the best voice out.Not hating just saying that she needs to humble her self.
maybe beyonce doesn't have the best voice of all but she has never said that...she's very good and you know...if etta james said that it's because she really is good
it sounds like you should be going to christina or kanye videos saying that, yea shw has gotten a little cockier, but shes not terrible with it, kanye on the other hand acts like hes god and everyone wants him, and christina oversings everything thinking it sounds great when she dont know where to stop
You can't take nothing away rom Beyonce. Hater hate, but if they must, at least she is giving them plenty to hate about because she is an excelletn performer. BTW, Etta is looking mighty foxy!
that was amazing beyonce you make me proud to be a fan god bless you i cant stope watching this video i cant wait for the movie and her new album i love you the best
there's only on etta but she did a good job- she looks like her too albeit a prettier version. The film should be good hopefully get her the oscar that she craves.
yall crazy if yall think xtina was better beyonce plays etta james she did the original version xtina added her own lil mix while bee sang the origanl style. they both are great to.
It was okay, but was not really B's style. I prefer Christina's because she made the song her own by adding vocal acrobats, which she is known for. Beyonce made it sound too much like the original, boring! I want the fierce Beyonce back!
see this is y Beyonce is great, not only does she have talent but she respects and is humbled by those who came before her and she continues to acknowledge them and the path that they laid down for her
Nice video

She is an idol to be cherished.
Thank you, Beyonce, for helping to honor Ms. James.

And I sing an original song,
