All I Could Do Was Cry

[2tokii]

[kfaa24]

[swimmergurl808]

Beyonce is way more talented r.i.p etta james

[swimmergurl808]

I feel beyonce killed it just sayin

[TheDonte07]

beyonces version is better

[baiwal]

r.i.p etta james January 25, 1938 – January 20, 2012

[TheDanaroxy19822040]

the original is the best. Etta wrote it and sang it from her heart.

[bhen891010]

how many ppl actually knew of Etta James before Cadillac Records? #ididnt

[Redboy4]

@bhen891010 I did.

[NewWaveTH]

@bhen891010

All baby boomers over age 55 know who she is youngster!!!

[SavingSmilesForYou]

@bhen891010 Shame on you then.

[1111hardball]

OGHH:)) REST IN PACE etta james,, may you beeh singing ovah us with the angels,, we love you more than ever,,??"

[suzesunshine1]

Beyonce took a movie roll and did an excellent job and sings great. You who diss her seem to lose track of that, and seem to think she had some personal vendetta against Etta and is being disrespectful of her which is so off from the truth . Why don't you see this movie was a tribute to Etta, just as Beyonce's BEAUTIFUL words about Etta, and performance for the president as the PRAISE it WAS of ETTA, and stop hating on Beyonce. You are being ridiculous in the stand you are taking against her,

[JadedCutie]

Ugh. Don't say this is Etta's version. Beyonce had to reason to even COVER anything while Etta was alive. This girl sings well, but FUCKING SHIT.

[TheLesperkins]

She hatted beyonce lets all boyycotte beyonce she sucks she loves Christina Aguilera so much lets make Christina new Album the highest selling album ever and beat micheal jackson:-) Etta was Christina insperation and Etta said Christina was the best the 2 most talented vocalist ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[ReinaPalooza143]

Beautiful <3 may you rest in peace Ms. Etta James (: you will forever be in our hearts.

[Rockwell147]

I thought it was Adele when I heard the first two words. XD

[Thegideon5148]

@Rockwell147 me too

[jj095464]

@prep009 Who gives a damn about Beyonce getting hers .....She sang this song so heartfelt in the movie because the woman she was portraying Etta James brings such intensity to this song...How can u not appreciate the original writer and singer......Puh Lease get a clue!!!

[LizetteMarie82]

you are not etta james. Like what i was expecting

[EatinOffMyOwnPlate]

RIP

[dianeembellir]

work on your breathing; singing is about 80% breathing...

[chrisdulworth]

wow

[sheenamarie1977]

Wow girl...I wish I had a voice like yours...you have been blessed!

[atanasyo]

get a dinner.

[IDALOVEGODDESS]

you do have a nice voice but like beyonce you lack the soul of etta. Actually you dont even have the soul of beyonce. stick to music that doesnt require a lot of emotions

[Debore46]

Good job

[bullgtor1]

Hearing about her health condition all I could do was cry.

[shaionta]

i think beyonce sings this song bettah than etta james♥

[MrconnorjGiedymin]

@shaionta And I think YOU have no taste in Music♥



[davyd510]

Wack

[LittlePhil1992]

sound's like male's voice

[NeverStarveInc]

Love it.

[Taykn]

slow down and feel it, then you got it....make me feel you feeling it, you got a voice, apply the soul.

[lulu225ish]

that aint etta james

[846keith]

if u not etta jame u cant do it not give beyonce this old singer did it with out the back ground

[mssquirrely]

This ain't no damn ETTA JAMES!! but nice job. Beyonce Who!!? Obama should've had you sang the song, lol !

[802bucknasty]

BOOOOO. u sound decent but the recording is shit

[boothl232]

Good job - I think both Ms. James & Ms. Knowles are awesome talents. I am partial to Etta because I'm old.

[MsKandi37]

wow you sound amazing!!!

[Baltimorehop]

If you really want to know the difference between Etta James and Beyonce Knowles, Youtube is at your beck & call. Search both artist and I think you'll notice a SIGNIFICANT difference in talent. Beyonce couldn't hold a candle next to Ms. James.

[GabraKadabraa]

You have a very beautiful voice. <3

[nastasiamas]

not beyonce or etta who is this

[antvalencia1]

It´s great!!



[Rahkua]

Well, while i appreciate ur comment i dont think Etta is a "more" talented singer. I think Beyonce is an exceptional artist & my rendention was inspired by her version from the movie where i was introduced 2 the song for the first time. I definitely respect the validity of Etta's version, which is why I credited her (All I Could Do Was Cry BY Etta James) & did listen 2 hers but I recorded mine primarily because I was motivated by the beauty, intensity, and heartwrenching effects Bey had on me

[kurtdublin]

@Rahkua You need to shut the HELL up! you can't sing and neither can Beyonce. what you need to do if you insist on trying to sing is get auto tune like Beyonce so your weak off key voice will sound better. You cannot sing

[msfantasy2013]

@Rahkua I totally AGREE

[TheReneex]

@Rahkua

Beyonce is in no way shape or form in the same class with legendary greats, such as the late Etta James. Sure, she is attractive, but she is living in a culture where the music industry is no longer concerned in promoting vocally, talented female artists. Unless a female entertainer is willing to strip down to her underwear in order to achieve mainstream success, she'll remain unsung like Etta!

[MegaAnwarjones]

Really, REALLY? Inspired by Beyonce? Why wouldn't you be inspired by a more talented singer? Like Etta James, she did sing it first.

[TheMusicmind99]

Thanks for checkin out my page and subbin me! Luv ya! <3

[Rahkua]

...yes, Y?

[MrKarmaCarey]

good voice but wrong song choice. this song requires power and soul. you have more of an r&b or pop voice. dont get me wrong, you can sing really good. its that this song doesnt go with you. keep up the good work hunn..

[prep009]

folks jus need to quit hating on beyonce'..she's gon get hers with or withOUT etta james..hell she was famous years before this movie..thanks

[1jaydiva]

@prep009 who cares about fake ass Beyonce. No comparison.

[nishagsc]

amazing!

[SKARZWSC]

@jayheartsrpattz: Im allowed to have an opinion, thats why youtube has left this space for comments! & its true, Beyonce played her part better than Etta lived it!

[houghforensics]

@SKARZWSC whatever compared to etta james beyonce is nothing!!!! without etta james beyonce would be nothing!!!! so you can suck it!

[secelianflagg123]

leave the song alone lol please singing all i can do is cry sound real bad

[SKARZWSC]

@secelianflagg123 but it sounds mean by beyonce

[xWiZxKiDx]

@secelianflagg123 Well sounds to me like your HATING

[jayheartsrpattz]

Another perfect Etta James song. Can she do wrong in any song?

[SKARZWSC]

i dont really like etta 

[jayheartsrpattz]

@SKARZWSC are you serious? Please keep stupid comments like that to your self, please.

[freakyboii92]

@jayheartsrpattz i dont like etta james either... stupid no my friend its just an opinion.. and the girl singing started off strong... keyword started

[Nek0L0g]

my advice is: perfect your art with a coach or whatever, and buy a better quality microphone xD it's a really hard song but you did really good!

[marty1750]

[SKARZWSC]

@marty1750 etta

[BDOTHOOD]

I'm a producer from Jerzey living in Atl & I think your voice is amazing.I was looking for an accapella of this song & found your version & now It's stuck in my head...

[Praize67]
