  • R.I.P Etta James !

  • damn that Rice!! (;

  • Rest in paradise Etta James.

    

  • i loveeeee this song!!

  • i love this song <3

  • this is a good song..etta james is pretty good too. but i really really love this version

  • Lyric???? why lie?

    

  • @malcomx89 But the lyrics are in the description box

  • ---amazinqqq

    

  • - i keep replaying this song . . . its like my life story right now . . sucks to see the one you love , love another . . . </3 life goes on thoe .

  • @ncandylips12 same here i keep replaying its like my story to :(

  • I swear three years have passed since these Beyoncé's covers of the Etta James songs were released, and I'm still shocked by how completely natural she sounds singing traditional soul music. She sounds like someone born to do this more than anything else. Of course anyone with a bit of musical ear, honesty and knowledge of Bee's performances knew she had it in her, but she just nailed this in any possible way. She is an old soul, WAY more than any other singer of her generation.

  • its like she can read your mind and write a song about whats actually happening i your life..Example All I Could Do Was Cry really happened for me and All The Single Ladies =D

    

  • The internet is a dangerous place. I posted my personal comment about Beyonce in the comparison to Etta James and you can see what happened here. I get a personal message from this someone claiming they don't understand what I'm talking about because they're 11 yrs old. I started to feel bad b/c I may have answered to raw on such a young person. I checked their profile and saw this "person" list their age at 19! I don't play games young lady. Stay in your lane.

  • Damn this chick is SO OVERRATED! I'm not hating, I'm just telling the truth and putting it out there. IF, you're going to cover an Etta James record, PLEASE sound the part and be up for that assignment. To me, it's like when Whitney covered Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You"... Whitney brought her A game and made it legendary. What the hell did Ms Knowles make legendary of Etta's? C'mon yall. For God's sake, understand what talent is before you jump off a cliff over an artist. Geesh!

  • @Baltimorehop shut up and u are hatin

  • @destinyagripitocraig ~ I got a right to post just like you. Beyonce ain't no Etta James, no matter how pissed you get b/c I put the truth out there about her. You can have your "Put A Ring On It" chick all you want. She STILL ain't no Etta James. If this is the best yall got today, I feel sorry for this generation. For real for real. 20 years from now, all of her music will be obsolete because its trendy and typical. Ah what the hell, you probably don't even know what the hell I'm talking about

  • @Baltimorehop Beyonce music is anything but typical. To judge her artistic quality from a purposefully dance made single "Single Ladies" is beyond cynical. Beyonce has been in the music industry for the past decade and has continued to be one of the most successful artist of the time period. So 20 years from now Beyonce's music will definitely be remembered and cherished like many legends before her.

  • All i can do was cry.... :(((

  • Awesome, I love it. Beyonce and Etta are amazing singers who make you feel the music under your skin. And I don't know what were thinking those 47 people who disliked this...

  • this just happend to my friend this summa, n i looked at her like she was crzy wen she cried ti this sn(felt she shld get ova it) but kno its happening to me---u never kno how it feels to it happens to u...it hurts but fuck him

  • all i could do was cry

  • I LOVE THIS!

  • CADA COMENTÁRIO BESTA ELA É LINDA E VOZ DELA MAIS AINDA.....ELA É UMA ARTISTA COMPLETA ....I LOVE BYYYYYYY

  • Both Byonce and Etta are powerful vocalists!

  • BEYONCE IS THA BEST SINGER HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY ! SEPT 4

  • 47 people must of went deaf instead of blind

  • 1 day ago when you are reading thid do not stop or else something bad will happened! ( sorry about this) this girl's name is summer, she is 15 years old and has blond hair, many scars, and she has no ears. she is dead. if you don't copy this to more than 5 videos, she will appear one dark quiet night when you are not expecting it bedside your bed with a knife and going to kill you. this is not a joke. if you send this on 5 more videos something good will happened to you

  • 0:00 :P

  • I can't believe such a talented singer is stuck in an era like this where our charts and our music have no depth and no soul, Beyonce belongs back in the 50's where her beautiful voice could have been loved and heard singing the songs she should...

  • AMAZING!!!!

  • Beyonce is a talented singer. Whether you like or not she does her thing

  • i love this

  • shes gotta be da oldest person now

  • have to admit beyonce does sing the etta's songs excellently etta should be so proud that they are sang by someone just as talented even though i'm not into beyonce.well done to them both.

  • Happy New Years!

  • Etta James is my all time favorite, but I have to say that my girl Beyonce did an out standing job on this song!

  • Ok, im REALLY not a Beyonce fan, but she can sing. Etta rocks!

  • @lexietaylor1998- the lyrics are in the description

  • @lexietaylor1998 - the lyrics are in the description

  • umm not to be rude but if your video doesnt have lyrics dont say it does !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love this song. its so sad dow how she seen the man she love'd with some one els and she couldent do anything about it..

  • Dang, i gotta say beyonce sung this way better then etta james just speaking the truth... but don't get me wrong etta can still blow maybe its the quality and technology

  • I wish beyonce would sing these type of songs more instead of the rubbish she's been releasing recently...i would respect her more!

  • ii luv etta bt ii thnk beyonce is betta jus saiin

  • Beyonce made Etta James' songs sound 100x better!!! She can sing!!!

  • @janeeash1 u are sooo ritee i agreee lol

  • Still ain't got nothing on the original. Beyonce repertoire includes riffs that are very commercially pop appealing, but don't fit for this song and it's original interpretive meaning. Etta James had it down.

  • @aliadawn so dat dnt mean nothin she made dis song sound good wht u thought..and much better thts all tht matter!!

  • beyonce made etta james sound so much betta

  • beyonce got a very good voice

    BeyonceNewestMp3[.]tk

  • Look at Etta... shes a cute old lady.. you can tell she was a killer in her day.

    But she sure is Mean

  • All I can say is that I LOVE THIS SONG!!! N I dnt knw anyone gettin married

  • SING IT!! I SING UR SONGS B AND YALL SHOULD CLICK ON MII NAME AND SEE ME SINGGIGN

  • Honestly Beyonce really shouldn't be compared to Ms. Etta James. Beyonce's Version to this song is great! BUT! Ms. Etta James is an all time great! Beyonce and others like her draw their inspiration from old time greats like Ms. James. Seriously it's not cool!

  • Althouth Ms. Etta James iis the queen. I have to say Beyonce sang this with heart and soul!!!!

  • in my opinion i like both versions but i really feel like beyonce had more emotion behind her voice!

  • no comparison to Ette...Beyonce stick to the pop and J ! not hating shit i'm singing right now. not as well as beyonce though either.....( You will never see me do something unofficial) This is just my opinion. rate b-

  • B does a good job with this song but it cant touch the original by Etta. B's voice doesnt have that fullness that Etta's has, she's a more lightweight singer but she does real well on it.

  • beyonce was way better, the other girls voice was a little dusty

  • this song hit home..

  • I agree with lilp718

  • so soulful, i always get sad when i hear her sing this song............love this song so much

  • People really need to stop! Beyonce freaking has talent, she is soooo nice too! Beyonce will seriously be placed on the top with all the other greats one day! She is too amazing...Yes it isn't her song but she did a hell of an awesome job. Etta is wonderful and so Is beyonce. So Ppl need to SHUT THE HELL UP!!!! god ppl are so dumb

  • @18BleedingHearts i hate some people for there unbelievably stupid comments, im so with ya on this one.

  • @Hotroxxx2010 thank u!!! lol

  • @18BleedingHearts i agree but the thing is what makes beyonce better than etta is that etta talked all shit about beyonce, and it was evil than sang at last and it sounded like rusty nails

  • @omnythe66 I really hope etta said sry to beyonce because she did nada wrong to etta! And Like it was wrong of etta to say what she said. They Both have amazing voices but beyonce has a way more powerful one...i love it!!!

  • amo esta musica com beyonce

  • MY MAN DID IT TO ME..LEFT ME STANDING AT THE ALTER...WOW...

  • she went in on this songg it made me beleave dat it was ha song

  • Such an amazing song, pls check out my cover! Thaanks :)

  • Shut up Beyonce

  • @Monk3597 Yea She Heard You.!

  • i love this song so much

  • I LOVE THIS SONG FOR SOME DUMB REASON..

  • She Was Stnading There Wit My Man

  • yep yep yep!!!! sexy as hell....... they aint no tunes like dis anymonre..... our soul 's r missing.... dis was the era!! xx

  • yep yep yep x

  • The idea behing the film was that all the actors involved portrayed the orignal artist's in their own way, they were not meant to sound like them. The Director was clear about this, and has even said it in interviews, so why comparing them all the time.

  • i admit its good..........................­but NOT as good as etta.

    sorry beyonce go back to singing your dayjavu stuff or how ev er u spell it :]

  • i love dis songg !! its mha lifee! b did dis shitt!!

  • Beyonce provou em Cadillac Records que é uma das melhores cantoras do mundo. Vi o fikme seis vezes. Excelente!

  • nahhh.

    Not evenn closee to Ettaa.

    Props though: she triedd.

    I won't even go that farrr(:

  • What time signature is this song?

  • They both did great. One is legendary because of her strong will and powerful vocals and because she stood up for what she believed in, which at her day and age was beyond difficulty. The other is a star in todays age and surely will have her chance to be known as a legend. Great job both Beyonce and Ms. Etta James.

  • beyonce without a doubt .

    she gave so much more heart and passion , changed my view of her the girl group thing she is wasted such a voice .

    ps donna i still love you x

  • @3sqnrock You are intitled to your opinion that you like Beyonce's version better than Etta's, but keep in mind that Beyonce is portraying Etta and trying to singing like her. It would be like if I repainted the Mona Lisa and put a bird in it and you prefer the version with the bird. It would still be a copy of a Leonardo De Vince Masterpiece.

  • this is better than etta jame's , beyonce sang it with heart and soul and passion , she should of been there with ottis sam cooke and al green she has the voice .

  • etta sounds waaaaaayy bettr but beyonce is a wonderful singer she has a newer type of voice

  • Etta all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!! Beyonce is good but Etta is better! FULLSTOP!

  • I think Beyonce out did herself on this song & Etta couldnt stand it dats why she was so bitter and started dissing B, instead of being greatful cos honestly if it werent 4 Beyonce's versions of this songs on Cadillac Records most youth of 2day wouldnt have known Etta nor this great music..*truth hurts*

  • Beyonce just sings these songs with so much passion, to me much more so than Etta ever did. Its beautiful, I have never heard anyone sing with such emotion, you can really feel and hear it.

  • @MsDiva96 you never heard anyone sing with such emotion? LOL girl you better start listening to more people then cause that is one sad ass statement.

  • @atolm1 In denial are we?? Give me a song sang with this much emotion.

  • @MsDiva96 Umm lets see, Sinead O Connor Nothing compares to u, almost any Patti Labelle live performance (If you love me, Tears in Heaven, Forever Young for Oprah, It's my Turn in tribute to D Ross, all live to name a few), Aguilera's a Man's World at the Grammys, Regina Belle if I could in tribute to Nancy Wilson (live), KD Lang Crying in tribute to Roy Orbison (live), Amy Winehouse Love is a Losing game live, Dusty Springfield A House is not a home (live). Those are all live not in a studio.

  • @atolm1 Preferably from this century? Ok, being honest here. Have you seen Beyonce live? If anything she sings with more emotion live. And its not just me that has said it. So I don't really understand what you're gaining here. You may not want to admit it, but this girl has TALENT.

  • @MsDiva96 I'll be the first to say she is very talented. I think she puts on a fierce live show. I just think she is overrated and overhyped and she puts too many vocal runs in her songs. I wish she'd sing just straight. When she sang for Barbra Streisand she sounded lovely and also in Dreamgirls without all the runs. But you know if you enjoy her thats all that matters, im still loving Ego and Why dont you love me but i dont ever want to hear put a ring on it or halo for the rest of my life.

  • @atolm1 Hahahaa, well the fact that they have been played over and over everywhere shows how much people love those song. Can't diss Halo though!! lol. Oh yes, Ego and Why Dont You Love Me are pretty great right? I disagree that she is 'overrated' though, she has earned all that respect and worked so hard to get where she is today. She deserves every single bit of it.

  • @MsDiva96 yes Beyonce is ANYTHING but overrated.she worked hard to get where she is.Overrated people are the ones that pop up out of nowhere and people act like they are the next coming with no real talent.Beyonce can sing the phonebook as they say and it would be a #1hit point blank.

  • @MJBKfan4ever Absolutely. You're right on point :')
