  • Now All I do Is Cry ANd Think ABout Her

  • That Goddamn rice!

  • The arguments are so sad and disrespectful. Etta James was the original of course and had an amazing voice, but you can't sit there and watch this video like Beyonce didn't have raw talent, she saaaaang this song! Stop hating! Hats off Bey!

  • Comment removed

  • I LOVE Adrien Brody!

  • Dat ASS.

  • I love his reaction at 2:50 :D

    

  • vive etta james

  • I love this movie! Beyonce did an AMAZING job!

  • 2:53 is my favorite part..amazing voice btw

  • TRUE TALENT RIGHT THERE...BEYONCE' IS THE QUEEN...ONE OF THE GREATEST VOICE OF ALL TIME

  • can't nobody sing it like the original Etta James

  • this movie had to be made, who gives a damn about accuracy, whats that got a damn thing to do with it

  • I don't like her songs, but with this film she surprised me a lot!!!

    and I love her voice!!!!!!

  • Horrible! Beyonce lacks the grittiness and raw emotional that Etta had,couldn't they have made Christina Aguilera up with dark skin? Or at least dubbed bey with Christina singing Etta's songs,because she sang them well.

  • @955pokerface Beyonce > Christina

  • @MizzReyRey FACT!

  • @955pokerface What! Christina Aguilera? i mean Beyonce is just God awful, but Christina is even worst. if thats possible.

  • @kurtdublin Bey is NEVER awful..........

  • @CKFIERCE1 That is "your" opinion.

  • @955pokerface beyonce>>Fatina, screamtina, I'm not here for someone fucking the national anthem! GTFO

  • I keep replaying the part where she swears LOL

  • Like the video, like Beyonce', but Etta is the bomb!

  • If I was famous I would be honored for beyonce to play as me in a film.

  • beyonce does'nt sound like etta james.

  • @yasmeen123ish

    uhhh, she's not supposed to. that's primarily b/c Bey didn't smoke/dope up her insides like Ms. James rip (not diss, but true).

    she did get the feeling of that song tho...probably imagining what she would've felt like if Jay 'didn't' put a ring on it and walked RiRi down the aisle instead. LOL!

    Ring the Alarm, chil'. :-D

  • how much better do you get then this.

  • cra ninguem brasil??

  • great voice

  • r.i.p etta james

  • i love this song by my sis

  • 2:50 Oh God. <3

    I love her so much.

  • folk har inget liv bråkar om beyonce och etta???? håll käfften och njut av röterna bara era åsner;)

  • Beautiful D: <3<3

  • beyonce did this perfect if not better

  • YO LLORO ME ERISA LA PIEL GRAN VOZ

  • @melodymx86 how exactly is Beyonce skanky.. I thought so.. And actually Etta was the skank. Do your research.

  • @nonamesgrr actually they were BOTH trained singers and Etta more so than Beyonce. Plus just because Beyonce doesn't blast her personal life out there like Etta's drug struggle was blasted doesn't mean they don't both have heartache - hidden or public - to sing from. So YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP... IDIOT.

  • @MatthewDaniels247 Preach it bro, preach!

  • i can't believe they got this skanky bitch to play etta, disgraceful

  • @melodymx86 Seek Death.

  • @melodymx86 Hmm Let's See If You Can Do Better,This Is A Really Hard Rolee To Play So Don't Criticise...

  • Beyonce's version is infinitely better than Etta James ever sang

  • @Bhaddasx96Bosschick shut up fool. beyonce is trained singer. etta sag from heartache and from her guts...shut up damn idiot

  • @nonamesgrr just because you're trained doesn't mean you're always better, most singers dont even train, same with actors, its all down to talent, not just being trained.

  • @Bhaddasx96Bosschick Unclog your ears! Beyonce is just awful. pure and simple.

  • @kurtdublin beyonce is never awful

  • oh la amo <3

  • It was amazing

  • BEYONCE YOU DID AND EXCELLENT JOB......NO DOUBT THIS ROLE WAS FOR YOU BOO

  • as expected, it sounds like beyonce singing an etta james song; what i mean by that is it is a shadow of something that kind of resembles etta's performance of this song. Anyone who really thinks beyonce did this song justice needs to listen to the live version on the Etta James Rocks the House album. buuuut....it's not like they could have found ANYONE who could have done justice to ANY of etta's live performances, so there is that to consider.

  • @mkvisini oh you can hear the version i mentioned above here on youtube - it's the one posted by nayeenanajar

  • I think I can do this lol think

  • This song makes me cry.. haha

  • DAMN why they cut it off at the end. She was bout 2 snap! This woman is amazing. Great voice, beautiful soul. I hope God continues 2 bless her, her family, fans and her haters. Cuz truth be told she is the best of this generation. HANDS DOWN

  • she must of been thinking about jayz wit another women in this scene

  • she's so damn good. she can act, sing and do whatever and blow you away. She's is the shit haha

  • so good

    

  • LOVE LOVOOVEEE her VERSION!!!!! check out mine on my page

  • - R.I.P. Etta James(:

  • To all the fuckin haters Beyonce was not trying to copy Etta James. She was doing her version. I'm sure they woulda used Etta to act if she was young but she wasn't (and now she's dead). So stop trolling. None of y'all can sing like either of them so stfu. Besides Celine dion did a rendition too and so did Christina aguilera. Noone is trolling on them. Fuck y'all.

  • @MatthewDaniels247 Anyday now, Beyonce will be charged with Involuntary Manslaughter. Her awful renditions of Etta's material was simply too much for poor Etta. She was already in poor health, after hearing that monstrosity, her poor heart just could not take anymore!,,Beyonce KILLED Etta James, just as sure as if she had put arsenic in her food. On Judgement day, Beyonce will pay for this awful wrong.

  • @kurtdublin you're such a troll... with a bad ear for music at that.

  • @kurtdublin Let me make this short: fuck you, Pharisee. Etta james, God save her, had been trying to kill herself by various means for five decades. Blow a goat.

  • Beyonce I believed every word you sang.... No my fav artist but i respect your talent!

  • @ Beyoncefan1000, you are a blind follower who has no idea what real music is. Beyonce does not have the depth in her vocals possessed by Etta James, she lacks the range and she has no soul......in her tone. She might be good on American Idol or something, but lacks the beauty of the original. I have said this before, was on my roommates account and she isn't a devil or a cunt, you have a terrible lack of manners and a poor vocabulary, and you need to start listening to good music as well.

  • @ShelterSkelter01 I think you are the blind one.Her renditions of All I could do was Cry and Id Rather Go Blind are POWERFUL,shes an artist with VERSATILITY,Good on American Idol?Not one American Idol has had the success she has had.Female Artist of THE DECADE?!In a decade with all the competition.What authority over music are you?Have you sold any records?Did any legendary artist say you were AMAZING?..then...silencio..

  • god bless beyonce,she does this song a great justice,well done lass

  • I love her man! she sing w/ soo much emotion and make you actually feel & think about the song! Imagine the man you love getting married to someone else in your face and you can't do nothing about it..smh

  • great movie !

  • Amazing !

  • B SANG THE HELL OUTTA THIS SONG...LOVE IT!

  • Why the black man says no with his head when Beyoncé sings louder ? Sorry for my english I'm french

  • @TheBeyonceful Because her voice sounds very powerful, he's not shaking in disappointment at all

  • @TheBeyonceful

    il n'a pas dit non c'est leur maniéré de montrer qu'ils sont impressionnés l'air de dire wow quel voie puissante

  • @lovelymars13 Euh si il fait non de la tête genre non c'est trop fort faut pas faire comme ça et après comme elle chante en poussant moins de cris il approuve de la tête

  • @TheBeyonceful

    He is not saying no with his head. He is reacting the emotion

    Beyonce shows when singing louder. It's kind of a shock to him.

  • Exellent Job !!!!

  • an yall said beyonce couldnt at

  • EVERYONE HATIN ON BEYONCE was probably the main ones buying tht Album 4 !

  • Beyonce did great and she always do... It's just in her and nobody can hate her for it... If she wasn't so good she wouldn't have been around for as long as she has been making millions..!

  • beyonce sound funny sayin the eff word lol

  • R.I.P. Etta James All I could do was cry when you died

  • i like beyonce singn dizz song she put dahh emotion into it.....etta of course singzz bettah cuz shes dahh original..... RIP Etta:p

  • what's with all this hatred? all beyonce did was sing her song, and she rocked it! yes, etta james sung it better, but so what??

  • Of course Etta is better nothing can beat the original. But Beyonce is amazing too and really does a good job so stop hatin! 

  • @roxanakaboli Why is it, that when someone does not share your views on a certain topic or as in this case, a performer (Beyonce) why are you called a Hater? I don't hate Beyonce, i just feel that she cannot sing, especially those soulful tunes of the past. Her voice is totally lacking in the Jazz-imbued-gospel-flavored style needed for this type of material. I will give credit where it is due, and she is a very pretty girl, but, TALENTED?? no way!

  • @kurtdublin I respect your opinion and i was wrong when i said ''hater'', so im sorry for that. What I menat was that people keep comparing Beyonce with Etta James and we all know there is nobody like Etta James. But i still think that Beyonce is good and talanted at what she does and people should stop bringing other people down.

    And of course everybody is entitled to their own opinion!

    Excuse my english im working on it!

  • 4 all of you haters: upload a video with you singing this song. I sincerly think that the performance coming from Beyounce was flawless.

    Tip: Buy some f**king good speakers.

  • Get off Beyonce's Back !!! She did a ghudd job , give her her props!

  • Im sorry but Bey just tries to damn hard!!!! Its not there......its not Etta....its an imitation but its not Etta. You can tell Bey was acting when she was singing this song....and thats not good. It not her fault. You just have to be able to go through it to sing about, thats all. In this movie, I loved the other actors versions of their songs but....I like Etta's better.

  • @FalconCrest15 You better watch your mouth, if not you will find out like i did, Hell hath no fury like a Beyonce fan, especially when you point out (as U did) that she cannot hold a candle to Etta James. she tried, but she just simply failed.

  • @kurtdublin Sure shes a good singer but everybody cant do everything and she certainly cannot act!!!!!! Im sorry but its true!!!! She hasnt been through anything bad (as bad as Etta James has) enough for her to be able to sing it out like Etta. And no one is hating, its just stating facts. And the only reason people like her music is because she grunts it out and then the radio stations play her songs every five minutes until u cant get it out of ur head so there u go.

  • @FalconCrest15 She (IMO) is not a singer at all,,,let alone "A GOOD ONE" it is as U stated. OVERSATURATION of this woman. There is an A1 PR campaign behind her. she has been promoted to the high heavens!!..I will say it again, take away the auto tunes & voice modulators,,Beyonce, would be in a world of trouble. i agree, people have been systematically entranced by radio with this superfically talented woman. HYPE,HYPE,HYPE and more HYPE! no hate on my part, just the facts as i see them.

  • Beyonce?HOW HARD WAS THAT DAMN RICE THROWN!!!!!!OMG SHE JUST BLEW ME AWAY

  • THAT FUCKING RICE!

  • @twitchyisawesome lol that rice

  • @twitchyisawesome that damn rice!!!

  • @twitchyisawesome hahahahahahahahahaha!!!! ily

  • I think that rice really pissed her off LOL Anyway great performance Bey RIP Etta

  • BEY, YOU KILLED IT!!! GO GIRL!!!

  • Beyonce doesn;t have the emotion to sing a song like that. She needs to experience real life pain to sing one of Etta's song. Etta is without a doubt a better singer than Beyonce. Beyonce might have more range, but she cant sing a song like Etta.

  • @Ridogs since when you became the judge?????? last time i checked, beyonce did an awesome job in this movie but stupid little douchebags like yourself cant tell what real talent sounds like even if it was in your own backyard!

  • I love them both, RIP Etta James. Even Beyonce said it "if it wasn't for female artists like you, she wouldn't be here". That's being respectful and appreciative of the somebody who opened doors before you were even born. peace!

  • Beyonce is a great vocalist but her voice doesn't have the density and soul that singer like etta possesses. She's a phenomenal vocalist but not a great blues singer. Noone can be great at everything.

  • VOLIM TE KRISTINA!!!!

    -I love you Kristina.

    :)

  • etta james rest in pieces ♥

  • I am so DONE with people saying Etta James is a better singer than Beyonce !

    Yall are clearly sticking to the Status Quo ! Beyonce will murder her ass in a vocal battle and we ALL know this ! hell put Love on Top against ANY of Etta James songs ! But this who chain of Lies needs to STOP NOW ! I love Etta James (RIP) but dont sit there and make it seem as if Beyonce aint as good as her because HONESTLY Beyonce is BETTER !

    And concerns Hit the Inbox. Not gonna argue Publicly !

  • @dalsup2012 clearly thats your opinion and well u know what they say about those.... in case ya missed it "opinions r like assholes we all got one but sum r jus plain shitty". Dont get me wrong B is my girl but lets give credit where credit is due, I truly aint no Etta James fan and love on top is MY SSHHIITT lol but the way u came off is truly a disrespect to Ms. Etta on the real. Respect yo elders lil one.

  • @dalsup2012 , I agree Beyonce is a more acomplished singer, and Wow did she nail it in the movie, playing Etta! Similar to Etta, she brought tears to my eyes. Incredible! But that said, I still feel more of the blues from Etta. May God bless her, I will really miss her and keep on listening to her.

  • @gswhite1 AGREED !!! 

  • @dalsup2012 You anit lying! Beyonce would murder her, and anyone else if you hear her sing without the aide of a voice modulator or auto tunes...Beyonce is just horrible and U know it. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if after hearing how she butchered her songs, Etta already in poor health, just couldn't take it, her death was hastened. Beyonce should be charged with involuntary manslaugther.Just like she destroyed those songs..she killed Poor Etta James, thats a damn shame!

  • @kurtdublin no you silly ass cunt! you need to kill yourself for saying sich bullshit!!! I know you already hate Beyonce but that sure isnt hurting beyonce's well deserved and successful music and acting career so you can do us all a favor and jump off a cliff!!!

  • @Beyoncefan1000 Think whatever suits you, i don't hate Beyonce. But she should be charged with involuntary manslaugther. Her butchering of Etta's songs, played a role in Etta's demise, remember Etta was already in failing health, Beyonce's terrible renditions were just too much for a sick woman. it was like putting her in a wheel chair & pushing her over a cliff!!!! & Bey, is the pusher!..U my dear, is just one of many misguided fools.

  • @kurtdublin BITCH FUCK YU !!!!

  • stupid rice

  • Beyonce body banging, no corset. RIP Etta James.

  • theres no other legend could put emotion on the song quiet well like beyonce ever does

    

  • I love This Movieeee.!!!!

  • greatness right there.. i mean etta james

  • :"( all I could do was cry...

  • I know Etta was the one who LIVED it and wrote it but you can't say Beyonce did it emotionless , she is beyond amazing.

    really think about it..there is no other singer in this time that has such a pure voice or a singer that doesn't use auto-tune.

    Beyonce is one of a kind and you can bash her all you want but you must be really deaf or hate her so much for no good reason if you can't see it.

    R.I.P Etta <3 you`ll be missed

  • 3:04

  • 2:51 to 2:53 all i can say is....O_O

  • RIP

  • Beyonce does always find a way of making me fall more in love with her talent

    i am very impressed i have to go and see this movie now

    amazing voice beyonce.... Beautiful

  • RIP etta james

  • RIP Etta James =( we lost another great!

  • 2:51 the face lmao lolol

  • Bey can sing this song but Etta LIVED IT, she WAS IT and nothing will change that!

  • THAT DAMN RICE!!!

  • I LOVE THIS

  • I watched the movie, it was really impressive!! I just forgot everything else when I was hearing the performance and I just stuck in the moment then. RIP Etta James and God bless Beyonce!

  • R.I.H Etta James

  • awesome beyounce, all i could do was cry .

  • Honestly say what you may about Beyonce but she dug really deep within her to sing these songs and she did good... Etta said "the girl can sing but she can't sing better than me" .. She is right, Beyonce says studying Miss Etta and the playing her in this movie inspired her to start SINGING and listening to an album like 4 you can definitely hear the improvement. RIP ETTA JAMES.. it's a party in heaven right now

  • @BKHTSO umm Beyonce is a better Vocalist then Etta !! I love etta and shes a Legend but Could etta DO MESSA DI VOCE or sing song with 4 key changes !?

  • i love etta james songs it make sense

  • Goodbye Etta! RIP!

  • What a beautiful voice to be wasted with such a ridiculous king of music beyonce sings.

  • to me it sounded so emotionless and flat compared to etta's version! (not hating, that's just my own opinion)

  • i love love love this song..one of my fav movies

  • Rest in peace Miss Etta! Thanks to Beyonce for a wonderfull Tribute to Etta James!

  • r.i.p etta james!

  • RIP Etta James

  • Boo hoo. Go cry on Etta's videos not Beyonce's

  • @10hooper But this movie is about Etta's James life!

  • @dearmalika this movie isnt about etta james' life, its about the rise and fall of chess records. etta doesnt come in until about an hour into the movie, the white and black guy are really there the whole time.

  • I love this song ....beyonce sang this song but etta was the one who owned it ...etta james will be missed :~((

  • Etta was one to pave the way.. although Beyoncé sang the Hell put of the song you can never compare the two because Etta sang it for her time, not ours. I salute.. she broke barriers for Beyoncé. Enough said !

  • Comment removed

  • This is one of the best films I have seen in years. A wonderful, moving homage to Etta James and the man who believed in her, Leonard Chess. We love you, Etta. RIP

  • #RIPEttaJames

  • rip etta

  • ettas better but she did good

  • I for one, think Beyonce knocks Etta's songs out the park! I prefer listening to beyonce's versions. After listening to Beyonce's, I find Etta's boring. You can hear the emotions in beyonce's voice and not in Etta's.

  • I like Beyonce's version of the song...but still not like Etta...RIP :( <3

  • @adamjames43 I think beyonce sings her songs with more emotion than Etta did.
