Impresionante. Veo un presidente y su esposa bailando uno de los temas mas lindos que conozco. Lamentablemente aqui en Argentina tenemos una "presidente" que es PATETICA e IMPRESENTABLE. Simplemente en estas cosas envidio a los norteamericanos. // Awesome. I see a president and his wife dancing one of the most beautiful I know. Unfortunately here in Argentina we have a "president" who is pathetic and unsightly. These things just envy the Americans. I saw this video about 10 times.
Obviously the people saying Beyonce sounds better singing this than Christina Aguilera does are tone deaf and need to go listen to some Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald and then compare them to Justin Bieber and Brittany Spears to get their ear drums back in check so they know the difference between good and bad. :)
this is a movie where beyonce's lover is obama who just got married to michelle and she is happy for him n singing this song to him... LOL jk thats what it looks like XD
Crack kills people christina is good but one style of singing beyonce comes with something different christina over does every note its like she added another 16 minutes to the song
The first note I hear Christina sing is way more beautiful than Beyonce's. I'm sorry but I'll just have to say Christina sung it better for me. There was more emotion, more depth in the notes, she dared to take the song to a higher level and make it her own. Beyonce's just sound like a cover.
This performance brought tears to my eyes!! Beyonce has the power to sing in such a flawless way!! And still put her own touch in the song! Just Loved it!!
This is a DEFINITE overcome moment for African American people. Its clearly WAY too much to look at, Beyonce performing for the Black President?! Everything in this moment is pure beauty. :)
It's funny that people are bashing Christina whenever Etta James herself said she didn't like Beyonce covering her song. Google it if you don't believe me.
I have NEVER heard Beyonce sound as beautiful as she did when she sang for the Obamas... what a FLAWLESS execution of this Etta James timeless classic! <3
beyonce has the greatest voice ever! n when it comes to whose cover's bettr christina or beyonce i think chistina has made the song even bettr by oversingin n beyonce has tried to keep it simple but both songs r after all the same!!
@MrBruceapple Yea but it wasn't about Etta James; it was about what the President wanted; well in this case Beyonce. But again I agree with you with respecting her, she was alive at the time [she popularized the song]...that was a slight not inviting her. But it was a slight to Bey what EJ said. She should've been more graceful. R.I.P. To EJ just the same.
Beyonce's version of "At Last" is much better than Christina's version. Sure Aguilera has amazing vocal abilities, as well as Beyonce, but Christina has the habit of screaming and adding compassion and anger into a sweet song, her rugged shifting through the notes takes me away from this song, Beyonce did it like it was meant to be.
Clearly she did a good job! Don't know why Etta didn't do it. Oh that's right, because Obama is a socialist prick! Obviously he wanted the celeb points and popularity. Either way Christina in the end is a better singer.
614 people can hear clearly. 13,715 are still trying to figure out what the hell they just heard and felt bad and therefore clicked the "like" button in hopes that she never sings it again.
And Christina Aguilera killed Beyonce. Skip past the long speech and go to 5:34.
Besides that, I just want to say this right here is some bullshit, take that pop and shove it up your ass. Barack and Michelle deserved better. Should've let Etta or Christina sing it...they have soul. Or even Faith Evans or some damn body. They don't have to "growl" create the illusion of power. Beyonce? Get outta here with that shit. You're pop. Always will be, honey.
..."well, if I would be given an opportunity to sing to the president and his wife ofcourse I would dress nicely as to Im singing a song to the honored couple... impressive Beyonce...superlike!
Someone said Christina is a better singer than Beyonce, well not according to the mess up she did at the Etta James Funeral, That was a hot mess, and so was her the way she was dressed.
@complexwave Watching it one time was more then enough.I have no need to be hating on her, SHE IS GREAT SINGER, but you have to admit she over sang that song in Etta James funeral, now I ask you watch Beyonce sing that song At Last , clearly you will see that she sang it better. We have different opiniums, and that should be alright, nothing to fuss over. take care.
@gonzalete15 no you are shallow and superficial. They didn't picked who will sing in the etta funeral. It's sure that Beyonce would sing but she didn't able cause she give a birth lately and she's at home with a baby Blue ! and stop comparing Queen to Christina. I can't say that Christina can't sing, beacuse she's a very good singer but Beyonce is a way better. I guess you don't know what she can Christina didn't celebrated Etta.she just want to show her skills. Beyonce has a magical voice luv
christina over sang the song. she had too many runs. if christina would have started off and ended off the way she did but kept the middle simple it would have worked. But beyoncedoes it perfect for me.
I think both Christina and Beyonce did great with this song. Instead of comparing them, consider the difference in audience and then you may understand the reason for why they sang the way they did. Time and place make the difference...Beyonce's performance shows she knew the day wasn't about her..was all about President Obama
@nblonigan44 Such an achievement that a human butt-plug like yourself can pull your head out of your own ass long enough to write a coherent comment. Pat yourself on the ass, troll.
i always cry when i hear it! much better than etta....she was just bitter....even when she bashed beyonce, beyonce was a lady about it and didnt hit back
i feel that both artist can definitely sing, no doubt however based on this video and the other funeral video, i think christina sung it more with depth and feeling. beyonce sound beautiful but at the same time she didn't hit those high notes and show too much emotion like etta would've sung it.christina has always been in my opinion a more powerful vocalist for her time. till this day a lot of people like her but they still praise other singers over her based on looks and not talent.
@TheN92 just bc most people don't and the way she looks when she's singing lol idk it just doesn't look like it to me and i wouldn't put it past her. that's all
Beyonce did an amazing job singing her rendition of "At Last". Etta did NOT WRITE THIS SONG, but she most definitely made it famous. It was already 20 years old when Etta began singing this great song. That being said, Beyonce had every right to sing this just as Etta had. Etta doesn't own this song. Awesome job Beyonce Carter! RIP Etta James!
Christina Aguilera has far better voice than Beyonce,but Beyonce sang this song better,with more soul...Just perfect! I love this version more than any other!
I like both Beyonce and Christina's version. Beyonce is more toned down and is tried to sung proper while Christina's is amped up with longer and higher notes, which is also great. But when it comes to 'for you were mine', it's Christina for me. But they're both good.
That run she does at 2:43 - 2:55 always gives me goosebumps! Love how she follows the violin with her head voice. Christina is a great singer, well used to be. But i find that Beyonce's version was elegant and more polished.
I really think people need to stop comparing both Christina's version and Beyonce's. They are both talented artists that have amazing unique voices. Personally, I love both versions:)
@RoxasC08 I respect your opinion but I believe that there is no need for rivalries between Christina Aguilera fans and Beyonce fans. They are both very talented artists:)
@TheN92 I am both Fan's of the Girls Bee and Miss Thing But I am sorry Christina Fuc*** that song UP! Etta James was trying to get another 6'ft to get away from whatever was comming out Christina's throat!!! My 2 Dogs burried their head as far deep into pillows!! Smart Dog's
People saying Etta James hated Beyonce, pleaseeee! They have met each other and had mutual admiration towards each other. People always trying to start something, and I think Beyonce playing Etta in Cadillac Records was a good choice. If somebody else played that part I don't think it would of did Etta justice. Its like Jamie Foxx playing Ray Charles it just worked like a charm. Now a new generation has been introduced to Etta's story, music, and legend. God why you taking all my favorites? RIP
This version is for the simple minded who can't handle strong raw emotional voices. Beyonce's a good technical singer, but if you're looking for soul, forget it! That's why Etta moves so many people because you can feel what she's singing.
@Hofffan87 Just because she's not straining her voice and overdoing inappropriate runs like Straintina doesn't mean she doesn't have emotion and soul in this performance. I'm so sick of people thinking yelling and straning is "soul". It's not.
@lawlinat0r who said screaming and straining is part of soul? Christina's voice is naturally loud when she goes full voice and a little raspy when she belts. You can tell she's highly influenced by Etta. Christina's done that rendition of At Last since she came out, but as soon as this Prom Night version was performed in front of the world, Etta was not having it. By the way one of my favorite songs is Countdown. Beyonce can make people move by dancing, but emotionally? Look elsewhere.
@lawlinat0r totally agree. Beyonce everytime shows her emotions and she shows us music is beautiful, and I love look at her face during concerts or live performances. she's showing her emotions. Smile, love ! and she sang simpler version than Christ. but this is way better,cause Christ. didn't want to celebrate Etta at her funeral she just wanted to show us her skills.. but her version is ugly. she yelling and people think that it's soul ...it's annoying . i can't stand it love ya B.
@Self971 People think Christina shows off, she just has a loud powerful voice. She's been doing her rendition of At Last like that since she came out, and Etta didn't mind. In fact she said this to Christina. "It's like you were here many years ago. You don't look exactly like them, but there's something about you that's like Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday, those kinds of chicks. I've never seen a girl sing as tough as you sing, as little as you are. It's like you're an old soul."
It doesn't matter who sings the song. You can't please everyone. I preferred Beyonce's version because it was simple, however Christina has a more powerful voice. Both versions had elements of perfection. Nothing is ever going to be perfect, stop expecting it to be.
Do yourself all a favor and DO NOT go watch Christina Aguilera's performance of this at Etta's funeral. One of the worst vocal performances I have ever seen.

Christina Aguilera has far better voice than Beyonce,but Beyonce sang this song better,with more soul...Just perfect! I love this version more than any other!

I like both Beyonce and Christina's version. Beyonce is more toned down and is tried to sung proper while Christina's is amped up with longer and higher notes, which is also great. But when it comes to 'for you were mine', it's Christina for me. But they're both good.

That run she does at 2:43 - 2:55 always gives me goosebumps! Love how she follows the violin with her head voice. Christina is a great singer, well used to be. But i find that Beyonce's version was elegant and more polished.

This was a beautiful moment that brought tears to many eyes, whether you like Obama or Beyonce or neither. It was a historic American moment.

I really think people need to stop comparing both Christina's version and Beyonce's. They are both talented artists that have amazing unique voices. Personally, I love both versions:)

@RoxasC08 I respect your opinion but I believe that there is no need for rivalries between Christina Aguilera fans and Beyonce fans. They are both very talented artists:)

People saying Etta James hated Beyonce, pleaseeee! They have met each other and had mutual admiration towards each other. People always trying to start something, and I think Beyonce playing Etta in Cadillac Records was a good choice. If somebody else played that part I don't think it would of did Etta justice. Its like Jamie Foxx playing Ray Charles it just worked like a charm. Now a new generation has been introduced to Etta's story, music, and legend. God why you taking all my favorites? RIP

This version is for the simple minded who can't handle strong raw emotional voices. Beyonce's a good technical singer, but if you're looking for soul, forget it! That's why Etta moves so many people because you can feel what she's singing.

@Hofffan87 Just because she's not straining her voice and overdoing inappropriate runs like Straintina doesn't mean she doesn't have emotion and soul in this performance. I'm so sick of people thinking yelling and straning is "soul". It's not.
lawlinat0r 2 days ago 3
@lawlinat0r who said screaming and straining is part of soul? Christina's voice is naturally loud when she goes full voice and a little raspy when she belts. You can tell she's highly influenced by Etta. Christina's done that rendition of At Last since she came out, but as soon as this Prom Night version was performed in front of the world, Etta was not having it. By the way one of my favorite songs is Countdown. Beyonce can make people move by dancing, but emotionally? Look elsewhere.
Hofffan87 2 days ago
@lawlinat0r totally agree. Beyonce everytime shows her emotions and she shows us music is beautiful, and I love look at her face during concerts or live performances. she's showing her emotions. Smile, love ! and she sang simpler version than Christ. but this is way better,cause Christ. didn't want to celebrate Etta at her funeral she just wanted to show us her skills.. but her version is ugly. she yelling and people think that it's soul ...it's annoying . i can't stand it love ya B.

@Self971 People think Christina shows off, she just has a loud powerful voice. She's been doing her rendition of At Last like that since she came out, and Etta didn't mind. In fact she said this to Christina. "It's like you were here many years ago. You don't look exactly like them, but there's something about you that's like Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday, those kinds of chicks. I've never seen a girl sing as tough as you sing, as little as you are. It's like you're an old soul."

It doesn't matter who sings the song. You can't please everyone. I preferred Beyonce's version because it was simple, however Christina has a more powerful voice. Both versions had elements of perfection. Nothing is ever going to be perfect, stop expecting it to be.

Do yourself all a favor and DO NOT go watch Christina Aguilera's performance of this at Etta's funeral. One of the worst vocal performances I have ever seen.
