Another great on that can really squeeze the juice out of this song is Cristina Aguilera. I like her performance better than Beyonce....just by a pinch more.
@jibaradepr with all due respect..I LOVE Christina A...however, she puts too many RIFFS in a classic song like "At Last' .which literally did not do the song justice..Beyonce does this song EXTREMELY well. Her vocals are ever so smooth and appealing. Additionally, she does not try to sound like Etta James, but captures her passion in the song..
Why was Etta James soooo upset at Beyonce?.......What a beautiful thing she did here for the leyend. That was very humble from Beyonce. A real tribute.

wow no homo but i'm a girl and when i seen Beyonce with her hair and that lovely golden dress and emrald earrings the only thing that floated through my head was "DAMN! SHE LOOKS SOOOOOOO GOOD! Jay-z your one lucky guy! "
Etta James was the first to perform and sing this song...but Beyonce really sang this beautifully....love it. And thanks to Beyonce i got to know who Etta James is.....
Are you all forgetting that this is LIVE? I don't believe Ms. James herself could deliver like this live; and should appreciate Beyonce letting the younger generation know of her music.
Beyonce' wasn't completely true to ETTA JAMES character in the movie. She sang all the songs as BEYONCE'. On stage is one thing but you should at least try to sound like the artist you are portraying if you are acting. Imitation is the best form of flattery anyway. ijs Love both Etta and B btw.
Etta ought to be ashamed of herself. Beyonce did her and her song a lot of justice. Beyonce was a lady and was very gracious to the legendary singer and was treated despicably by Ms. Etta James. All I can say is "Great Job Beyonce" and "Shame on You Etta!"
DONT READ THIS CAUSE IT ACTUALY WORKS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE.HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT ON AT LEAST THREE VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN TWO DAYS.NOW YOU STARTED READING THIS DONT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY.PUT THIS ON AT LEAST FIVE VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR LOVERS NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS
Simply amazing! In my opinion, better than the original, and whats even more amazing, is it was done live! Not taking anything away from Etta,but in her day she was it ! But Beyonce knows how to stir the soul of a great song ! Bravo Be! E for excellent !
For those who are comparing: If you like etta great, if you like beyonce great, but at the end of the day BOTH ladies did a REMAKE! Both ladies will be remembered for their excellent delivery of this song. I was taught to RESPECT my ELDERS, but with that; my ELDERS also RESPECTED and wanted BETTER for me! People say the youth of today are disrespectful, yet the SAME could be said for some of our ELDERS of today as well! GOD blessed these ladies with their voices, lets just enjoy and respect it!
Beyonce does a very good job with this Etta James classic. Etta is great, a total classic, and Beyonce, when she sings straight, and doesn't push so darn hard, shows that she has a excellent chops.
i agree every era is different but artist nowadays are not original and copy from the past,,, that is sad,,reason being because of lack of creativitty and originality majority of the songs now a day are from the past,, of artist from the old school days..and because those songs had meaning and heart..whick lack very much today..
@sammyz2358 why wud u let the classics die? IF it werent 4ppl like beyonce i wudnt kno who the hell etta james was...i didnt even kno she was the original singer of at last. i say let them continue! dont let the old things die! bring them up and get the younger generation 2know and appreciate its worth instead of making new garbage music which will only last a few weeks
@sammyz2358 I agree to a certain point! What or who would even attempt to duplicate this great hit by Etta, and nail it even better than the original? ( Only Beyonce) ! That is only my opinion! The song is almost older than I am in age, and I would listen to this cover that well out does Etta's version! Not to take anything away from the Great Etta who shaped this fabulous hit, and did a great job representing herself , and is well deserved the star that shines for her only! Bravo Beyonce!
Only the new skool people think that Beyonce can sing...she's popular only for her looks and booty shakin. People don't sing anymore. A bunch of junk about going to the club, freakin that b..., getting my gangsta on, my baby mamas, baby daddys, etc. TRASH!!!!!
@brownmajic48 I would agree with you when it comes to the meaningless songs....but ur mistaken if you think Beyonce's songs are like that...Just WRONG!!!!
People need to remember if Etta James is suffering from either dementia or alzheimers, then people will uncontrollable be bitter and get mad easily. It's one of those things that happens with alzheimers/dementia. People who have it can't help get mad or bitter. People need to remember that Etta can't perform or do the things that she used to be able to. And Beyonce can do all those things, so yeah Etta is going to be a bitter and mad. It is nothing personal to Beyonce I think.
Etta is old and bitter!!! I heard her comment when she did a show!!! She said some mean things about B!!! She should be flattered but no she is mad!!! I never seen Patty or Aretha or even Glady's get mad because some body sing there song better than them!!! Each generation brings something different!!! And she didn't even want to hug B after this performance!!! So sad!!!
@ptucker1978 let's get thing straight, yes BEYONCE has a great voice & did a wonderful job singing the song, but in NO WAY did she SING ETTA'S SONG better than her! have some class don't dis an elderly woman, yes she may be bitter but in the end no one could top the original songs that Etta sang! thank you!
@sfdmoment thank you, some people just have no class & like to put down an elderly woman & compare her to some young pretty woman who's on top at the moment...honestly it's really sad
@ptucker1978 because NOONE sings a Patty, Aretha, or Patty song better than them.....You can do a suitable cover, but you can't EVER be greater than them........Now I can admit she's wrong for dissing B...but if you truly believe that B sang Etta's song better...you undoubtedly believe also that Lil Wayne is the greatest lyricist ever.......
@pettywold1994 Ok.......You must be about 18 or so.........OBVIOUSLY Etta can't hit those high notes anymore....she IS rather elderly now.....So the POINT you're making is a MOOT one.....now go do your homework and let us GROWN folk debate as to whether a REAL singer had anything to worry about from a FABRICATED singer.........
when i heard Beyonce sing Etta's songs in Cadillac Records i went to buy Etta's album because i assumed it'd be better since they were the "original" but little did i know ETTA JAMES IS BORING
@elithesmartguy Etta James boring! That`s got to be the biggest load of shite statement any prick could ever come up with.Boring F F S.So you are the wild cat then.Beyonce herself could not have imagined she would be asked to portray this amazing woman and voice.You probably think you could do it. ,or were you too fucked to even try.Get it up you.
@elithesmartguy Are you serious! Etta James brought elegance and class to this song. It's the original and a classic so it's boring, I'm young btw and I cannot understand how anyone could agree. Remember back then there weren't all this technical crap that they add to microphones or in the studio, just pure voice and live music.
@elithesmartguy Boring is Beyonce, lol. Whenever she does covers she fails to move me, every single time. She is technically good but just boring. She has the same note she belts over and over.
Etta James is boring? Go sit in a corner and stop breathing.
They are not comparable, they don't live in the same time, they don't sing in the same time. It's like saying Billie Holiday is boring, cause your ears are more accustomed to Janis Joplin sound.
That is the best song and performance of beyonces career to perform that infront Etta must have been an honour she done a fuckin brilliant job on it. And has contributed to keeping real music alive hood Girl Beyonce xxx Sexy Moma!!!
THE WAY I SEE IT BEYONCE TRIED TO SING THIS SONG , BUT SHE TRIED SING IT TO HER OWN RYTHM , EVERYTIME SOMEBODYS TRIES TO MIMIC SOMEONE ELSES WORK ITS NEVER GONNA SOUND THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL ARTIST, SO I UNDERSTAND WHY ETTA GOT UPSET, BUT THATS WHY ARTIST ARE DIFFERENT CAUSE THEY HAVE TO HAVE THEIR OWN SENSE OF STYLE
@vangoghmatisse1 Omg, i mean realy ?? Etta is a Grandma right now how can you even think she's jealous of beyonce's beauty ?? I mean WTF ?? She might be mad at be (if she do ><) 'cause she believes B is trying to stole her work and her image...
I bet Etta just wanted to slap her and tell her she had some nerve pimping out HER songs for that stupid movie and sorry assed performance.lol....and then go have a couple stiff ones.
OH PLZ HALF YALL SAYING BAD STUFF BOUT BEYONCE BECAUSE ETTA IZ OLD SCHOOL...... JUST CUZ SHE OLD SCHOOL DONT MEAN SHE CANT BE OUT SUNG YOU KNOW GOOD AND WELL BEYONCE TORE THIS SONG APART
Lmao at Christina being better. On what planet?! Beyonce has natural soul and more skill and control. Christina wails and wails and it bends the pitch but never pulls it off authentically. Beyonce wins, and by FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Etta is not even the original, she gave it a good cover, but so did beyonce.
i'm still yet to hear beyonce sing a song that has so much soul in it-the only heart felt one i've heard is 'save the hero' but it's still rather pop-ish & crappy.
go listen to christina's 'walk away' or 'i'm ok'
none of beyonce's songs can be compared to xtina's. as well as her voice.
yes, beyonce can sing and shake that booty at the same time with ease, but that's not what music is all about.
@quixotical07 Christina wails and wails?? haha. She have a better control of her voice than Beyonce! And what about that wails you think: Christina can do that and it is not flawless!! Because Beyonce is scared to fail, she never take a challenge! Xtina not she is doing every note flawless! I dont mind if you like Beyonce more, but you can't take away Xtina is a better singer than Beyonce! And about: 'Beyonce wins' Etta James don't think so, Xtina has her respect..
@SerenaCMs lol me too ! I loved how she put the emphasis on how she couldnt stand her . I'm not a fan of Beyonce, I used to like her but its like shes everywhere , nd she has this cocky like mentality. I feel she stepped on everybody to be where shes at[ex. Destiny's Child]
@SerenaCMs Thank You, I still feel Ms.Etta had every right to feel agitated by Beyonce being chosen to sing a song she is nationally known for singing at the President's Inauguration you know.
christina is soooo much better. oh and wen she sings its soo much wannabe soul sersioluy feel the song and the music becuz u arent such a great actress shes just sayin that cuz etta james hates her
She is no Etta James, sorry! Etta has heart and soul, she murdered that song in the 60's. Beyonce just sounds good, but theres nothing else there but a good voice. No hardships, no blues, no pain or passion. I wish this were the 60's all over again...
@USAGhettos Etta ain't no hater. Let that had been your song somebody did without your permission. You would be pissed too. Just like if you wrote an essay and your friend copied it but made a few changes you would be pissed if they got a higher grade than you. Now am I right?
@imgr0wn No, she only made it famous. The song was was not written for her, was not first recorded by her, so Beyoncé has the right to sing it anyways. She even dedicated it to Etta James, so Etta didnt have the right to be so harsh. It's pathetic and rude.
Let's not forget that Christina Aguileria sang "AT LAST" beautifully while she was touring and I dont think she has been slammed by Etta (hopefully that will NEVER happen) Also Celine Dion { YUCK!!!!!! i never want to hear that version, Im pretty sure it SUCKS!) had to have insulted Etta by releasing her version of the song. If anyone deserves to be dissed it's that bitch, singing a heart & soul song like "AT LAST" is so disrespectfull, she doesnt have an ounce of heart or soul in her body.
***damn B did gud..her makeup is flawless..n if i was etta i wud be happy n proud dat beyonce looks up to her..etta has a amazing voice n of course no one kud top it..but damn wuts up wut dis hole etta dissin beyonce..o well all i knw is etta was lookn lik she was finna have a fukn stroke n dat hot ass mink***
@chicagocreepa LOLOLOLOLMAO YOU ARE SO STUPID!! I died laughing when I read this comment: "lookn lik she was finna have a fukn stroke n dat hot ass mink***"!!!!! Woweeee, I had to pee after that one, totally agree =D
wow at what etta said about bey i bet bey wishes she could take all of this back due to etta's horrible jealous stankin ass attitude...she was very unappreciative that was so mean what she said its all bad smh
i dont understand why etta wouldnt be honored beyonce sang this. she said such nice things about etta in the beginning. she should be happy her name is living on. if it wasnt for beyonce i wouldnt know who etta james was
Just because Etta is older and has been around longer doesn't mean she's better than Beyonce. Beyonce is just better. Etta's voice hurts my ears. Etta hates on Beyonce because Beyonce sings it better.
@sonia26625 u dont even know etta james! so what are u talking is bullshit, just because etta james has been around longer, it doesnt fuckin means etta's better than beyonce.
After watching some videos of Etta singing At Last- it has to be killing her with jealously that Beyonce is young and gorgeous and thin and has her whole life in front of her with so many songs already and Grammy and so well known! It's really sad that Etta won't let it go 'cause she will just be miserable for the rest of the life she has left. Didn't she listen? She should be celebrating the fact that a younger audience just found out about her. Sadly, anger and jealousy is what they found.
@BirdOfParadise777 I wish Etta wasn't so jealous - because it's obvious, isn't it? I would be pleased and happy for her, because she's brilliant and Beyonce loves her!
@Ebbs1204 Yeah! I don't know what else Beyonce could have said to make everyone know who she is! A lot of people would love to hear things like that said about them!:)
And what she got in return was a "slap in the face!" It is just so sad.
she is beautiful and she has an amazing voice, but she will never have as much soul and feeling in that song as the one & only etta james <3 love them both!
Hey, please watch my cover of this song! :)

Lmao at Christina being better. On what planet?! Beyonce has natural soul and more skill and control. Christina wails and wails and it bends the pitch but never pulls it off authentically. Beyonce wins, and by FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
Etta is not even the original, she gave it a good cover, but so did beyonce.
quixotical07 1 year ago
@quixotical07
sorry.
but christina beats beyonce when it comes to soul
i'm still yet to hear beyonce sing a song that has so much soul in it-the only heart felt one i've heard is 'save the hero' but it's still rather pop-ish & crappy.
go listen to christina's 'walk away' or 'i'm ok'
none of beyonce's songs can be compared to xtina's. as well as her voice.
yes, beyonce can sing and shake that booty at the same time with ease, but that's not what music is all about.
she's still missing depth
Cla900 1 year ago
@quixotical07 Christina wails and wails?? haha. She have a better control of her voice than Beyonce! And what about that wails you think: Christina can do that and it is not flawless!! Because Beyonce is scared to fail, she never take a challenge! Xtina not she is doing every note flawless! I dont mind if you like Beyonce more, but you can't take away Xtina is a better singer than Beyonce! And about: 'Beyonce wins' Etta James don't think so, Xtina has her respect..

She is no Etta James, sorry! Etta has heart and soul, she murdered that song in the 60's. Beyonce just sounds good, but theres nothing else there but a good voice. No hardships, no blues, no pain or passion. I wish this were the 60's all over again...

@imgr0wn No, she only made it famous. The song was was not written for her, was not first recorded by her, so Beyoncé has the right to sing it anyways. She even dedicated it to Etta James, so Etta didnt have the right to be so harsh. It's pathetic and rude.

Let's not forget that Christina Aguileria sang "AT LAST" beautifully while she was touring and I dont think she has been slammed by Etta (hopefully that will NEVER happen) Also Celine Dion { YUCK!!!!!! i never want to hear that version, Im pretty sure it SUCKS!) had to have insulted Etta by releasing her version of the song. If anyone deserves to be dissed it's that bitch, singing a heart & soul song like "AT LAST" is so disrespectfull, she doesnt have an ounce of heart or soul in her body.

Just because Etta is older and has been around longer doesn't mean she's better than Beyonce. Beyonce is just better. Etta's voice hurts my ears. Etta hates on Beyonce because Beyonce sings it better.

After watching some videos of Etta singing At Last- it has to be killing her with jealously that Beyonce is young and gorgeous and thin and has her whole life in front of her with so many songs already and Grammy and so well known! It's really sad that Etta won't let it go 'cause she will just be miserable for the rest of the life she has left. Didn't she listen? She should be celebrating the fact that a younger audience just found out about her. Sadly, anger and jealousy is what they found.
