"All I Could Do Was Cry" Etta James

[Nyssila]

Who cares about Whitney H.? I miss Etta!

[REALHOODTV]

@Nyssila lame

[freeBITCH0]

@Nyssila I wouldn't say "who cares about Whitney H.?" 'cause most people would disagree with you, I do however miss Etta as well!

[Nyssila]

@freeBITCH0 Yeah, that is true. Whitney was amazing! Guess I was just a little upset at Whitney for the way she went. Truthfully, now that I think about it, her talent was as awe inspiring as the great Etta!

[Luenellroz]

I Love you Etta RIP

[Aimili18]

we miss you Etta!

[vr2zgr]

要與好朋友分享...............!

[queenbey333]

[asdias1978]

Etta James I love you forever...may you rest in peace

[mayokun21]

dis song shows her helplessness, :( probably hw i feel naw RIP Etta

[sassycat4u]

No one copy her original voice. No one can sing exactly like her.

[bmrambus526]

my fav Etta James song

[steamycakes2004]

RIP!! One of the greatest singers of time by far! Each song hits my heart hard. This one especially. The love of my life just got remarried and it seems like all I can do is cry. Picking myself up from the mess that he left seems impossible but through song it's much easier. (:

[Adoni2234]

luv this song rip etta u will always be loved and who ever said beyonce made this song better is a liar this is a clasic cant nothing chang that!!!!!>:<

[Mrcee215]

What are you people talking about? Beyonce's version, from a singers standpoint, was so much better than this. RIP Etta James but I'l give credit where credit is due and Beyonce brung this song alive. In 30 years someone will remake/sample a Beyonce track and your hating children will be saying the same thing you guys are saying now..

[Redboy4]

@Mrcee215 Some of us prefer Etta's vocals and rendition just as they are, and her original rendition doesn't need to be any "better" than what it is. And that is not a diss of Beyonce. 

[InvisibleLyn]

REST IN PEACE ETTA JAMES... WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU :( <3

[benwangi]

always in my heart love you dear Etta...your golden Voices never die.

[doowopper64]

[sarafranco100]

RIP Etta One Of The Greatest Soul Singers Of All Time We Will Never Forget You Your Music Lives On Forever And Your Voice Is Unmatched Their Will Never Be A Greater Soul Singer 

[adamjames43]

All I know is....Etta better win a Grammy for this whole album...covers or not...she deserves it!!

[adamjames43]

@adamjames43 Oops I posted this on the wrong song...I meant on the GUNS N ROSES SONG SHE MADE INTO BLUES "WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE" sorry

[adamjames43]

Well Ms James, maybe we'll never get to see you live....but your music will live on forever...I got into the blues thanks to you as well as the other greats who are gone...but listening to you was like hearing an Angel sing...Will miss you....thank God I can always listen to At Last this one....you will never be forgotten...

Etta's music helped me through some hard times 10 years ago when I was dealing with my dad's death...without her angelic voice I don't know where I'd be

[Delaware84]

what an amazing song

[HunniB410]

WHY ARE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT BEYONCE RIGHT NOW!!!!!!! FOR GOODNESS SAKES THIS WOMAN JUST PASSED AWAY CAN SHE HAVE A MOMENT... JUST FOR ONCE????!!!!

[fnkyfrshdrssed19]

Seriously? You guys are trashing Beyonce's version right now? She looks up to Etta and she played her in a movie, that's why she covered her songs. I like Beyonce's version, but 9/10 a cover is not going to be better than the original, that goes for EVERY artist. But today we should be focusing on Etta and her music instead of bringing down another artist, especially one who is a fan of hers & deeply respects her, as well.

[TMPProductionsdotcom]

rip.

[jayden2595]

My favorite song of Miss Etta James! She is going to be missed SO much! :'( Queen of blues no matter what! Etta sings with emotion and everything comes out in a nice tone! RIP Etta </3

[TheDisney93]

RIP Etta James a true queen your one of the last greats to leave us you will deeply missed by the whole world LOVE YOU NOW YOUR SINGING IN HEAVEN!!!

[284436]

Etta James hate Beyonce's portrayal of her and her cover just a fun fact.

[jayden2595]

@284436 Well look what she did to her songs, she completely made an "angry" version of this song and she made At Last lack emotion. The emotion is gone when Beyonce sings, I was always on Etta's side when it came to HER songs. :(

[calihoney100]

RIP ~♥~...

[RodneyGQ]

Now you can sing this song to my Granny in Heaven. It was her favorite :)

[FreakedOutMinnie]

Soo Much Better Than Beyonces ..

She Has More Power In Her Voice

[DRAngel1974]

@FreakedOutMinnie. Beyonce singing Etta is little a little girl playing dress up with her mother's shoes.

It never going to happen.

[GK5onelove]

@DRAngel1974 is very good singer Beyonce and at last she is trying...i love Etta and i want to see singers to trying with her songs...so dont be bad...!!!!

[ShellsMusicboxx2]

@DRAngel1974 tell em again!!!

[oceanbeach20111]

Pray for Etta...

[punkviolin1]

my favorite singer. she just has that perfect voice...not everyone nowadays listen bad music :)

[GemRakeeb]

After such a long time, well, I was about a year old then!

Listening now...found from a link posted on the FB by Allen Whitehead - I can say, it's a loving-soul who sings...

I love her too. Love that does not require anything material but just the feelings...

[realjeanne]

it's the 1960s in a private los angeles club and there on the stage was this woman singing to my heart. they called her etta and i loved her right there and then!

[Toni2med]

Nothing like the original! She sings with such feeling! The music adds to the classic touch!

[TheVirgolovesleo]

Mixed like most of us r but does it really matter?

[lola13449]

i love this song how many people listen to this and know how it feels.xx

[ageavamailat]

Amazing. This is the first time I've heard Etta James' version. Beyonce has NOTHING on this!!

[Neepinn]

Beyonce did an excellent ' cover' of this song but remember without Etta she would not  have had an original to copy.

[clawerj]

Does it matter Lile what color she is it the voice and soul no one else has and she has always had that

[lile22222]

I dont understand, is she black or white?

[maryandmoody]

@lile22222 I believe she is a black woman from the south side of Chicago.

[IsyssVale]

@maryandmoody she is actually mix...........white father, black mother

[hernandeza30]

"She was standing there with my Man"

:( i know what you meant by that Etta</3

[neores]

@hernandeza30 "all i could do was cry" for some months...

[benjamin1977man]

Beyonce is not even a pimple on Miss Etta James ass ...for real ...she is the real thing and she made it when you had to really have it to be at the top .....

[snakesharp20]

The thing I love about Etta James, is she can sing you to sleep, or beat your ass. I have been in love with her for years.........wow

[gaylerocker]

Etta James is in a class of her own! I think Beyonce capture the mood in Cadillac Records.. no doubt about it!

[sexygladiator01]

No offense to peoples but ETTA JAMES is a diva in her own right. Have you'll heard that voice. WOW thumbs up.

[97princessangel]

is she chinnese or sumthin cuz thats what it looks like to me but i lovvveeee this song.

[kellman5368]

After seeing Cadillac records movie, I can't get this song out of my mind and thoughts. What a wonderful arrangement and Etta did a great job with song. Even Beyonce did a great job. There is so much emotion in this song and she expresses it in every lyric and tone.

[judygrell]

I had the thrill of seeing her on a Jazz Cruise out of Long Beach many years ago. She was standing next to the piano and she smiled right at me! She is one of my all-time favorite singers. What a thrill!

[antisocialist87]

This version says so much without being overdone at all. Beyonce's is outright angry and upset - this one is very intense and considerably more emotional than the cover. Etta owns this song.

[revelation58]

This is what you called music

Real music

Lord Have Mercy.. that's all I can say.... Incomparable.

[pssywagn1325]

Nobody could EVER match Etta James' voice

[rilenep]

Etta, I can only thank you for reaching deep into my soul and letting me go with you.

[amri0697]

i love this song my dad had it on a cd and i heard it

[TheBigsexymama]

Please dont ever compare Beyonce with the greats. She is what music is today,prepackaged staged and all about money,and screwing someone over,real music all you needed was a microphone and sometimes not even that!

[Olimpya10]

@TheBigsexymama true!

[TheBigsexymama]

Please dont ever compare Beyonce with the greats. She is what music is today,prepackaged staged and all about money,and screwing someone over,real musis all you needed was a microphone and sometimes not even that!

[bill1952]

This is absolutely superb, sung with pure emotion, the oldies rule!!!

[raya983]

etta is believable !!

[jillbrown57]

An absolute legend, she has a sound that can never be recreated no matter how good the singer!! I was sooooo born in the wrong era, forget all today's crap this was a generation of REAL TALENT!!!

[TheDelmonte12]

beyonce stomped this song

[mardigras60]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT......GOT MY VOTE...

[bigbrown4114493]

does etta have viligo like michael jackson? *don't said comments saying how stupid i am because i just watched "Cadillac Records" and i'm interested in these musicians*

[TheMarapasa]

@bigbrown4114493 it is called vita-ligo and no Etta James doesn't have it ...you cannot have an sign-in name bigbrown and make statements like that

[TheMarapasa]

@bigbrown4114493

[doodaboo123]

im sorry but on this song beyonce killed on all of the songs

but yes etta is a very great singer and have raw emotion and soul but beyonce brought 60 years ahead into the music

[1sexymona]

I LOVE this song. ETTA is AMAZING. I can't stand it when people who know nothing about music compare NEW artists like beyonce to LEGENDS like ETTA. that is soooo disrespectful. OLD SCHOOL MUSIC RULES!!!

[catman916]

Sexymona, I agree with you. There is nothing like the real thing.

[billyshitcheese]

O-M-G?

[LovelyRoses1990]

Her voice! All the emotion in it is so beautiful to listen to.

[babeshayne]

i like it when beyonce sings it xx

[kantfinaname]

beyonce sang every song like beyonce would sing it and not like etta james would. the vocal styles of the times were different even though they were both soulful. B didnt really capture the era of etta in her singing. even though it was a good modern rendition

[satifastion]

beyonce sang it better. however i love the 2 version.

[lilbritluvsya]

no wrong answer sorry etta got this song down packed beyonce aint close to etta james sorry

[MetalDrummer08]

beyonce actually did a very good job as etta james on Cadillac Records. but of course no one beats the one and only etta james.

[satifastion]

i love the emotion of the powerful perfomance by beyonce.

[lilbritluvsya]

you cant be serious lets get real people beyonce aint etta she never will be so umm what are you talking about beyonce put way to much emotion in that song she was practically screaming and umm etta puts just enough emotion in this song i can see why etta called her out the way she did i mean it was wrong but still would you like it if somebody screwed up your song that you worked so hard on 60 or 50 years ago beyonce screamed alot in this song great performance to much emotion sorry beyonce

[1984Janis1]

No one sing it like Etta. She just lets it simmer then boil.

[laarbe]

Etta was and is a true Legend. Her vocals are so pure and strong. She makes you feel every word of this song. Thanks for the post and the memories.

[TheShalonda24]

@laarbe AMEN 2 DAT ???

[12Fegens]

Have always liked this one by Etta James.

[catman916]

I posted it for you, John.

[reidb18]
