beyonce nailed it...the slide at the begining that veers every so slightly sharp in the middle, the touch of harsh nasality and the growl that Etta had at the end of some phrases, at the word 'cast'- she totally got it... awesome performance.
The haterzzz are so pathetic and lame that they talking smack about beyonce half of these bitches would not even know about MISS ETTA JAMES IF it was not for beyonce
she turned this song inside out and u all know this
that's why she is the queen every thing she does is majestic
To all the petty people who have dissed Beyonce for singing this song. You can love Etta and not disrespect Beyonce. She does and excellent job with this song. You are just being hateful for no good reason. I recommend you take a look inside yourselves and regroup .
BEYONCE REALLY DID IT... WHAT A GRRRREEEAAT INTERPRETATION, GREAT RULE , GREAT ACTING... AND GREAT PERFORMING..... IT CROWNS HER AS A DIVA... TOTALLY.
@Whopsydaisy1 No, she just happened to be one of the major people in the mix of the music life back then so yea. . . I think if anything it would be about her and that other guy (forgot his name but he cheated in his wife with her)
@deedeerh12 they took a LOT of liberties. Len Chess was a bald old jewish guy a 19 yr old Etta wouldn't be remotely attracted to.. The histories were all wrong, But great music and acting either way. Look up a pic of Len Chess and decide hahah
Luv me some Beyonce, however, no one can even come close to Etta James. Beyonce did justice to this song but I heard the orginal when it was released years ago and still remember the slow dances that we loved to do when this song came on. IF a lady danced with you on this jam, she really loved you. That's how you could tell........

@etety05 The name of the last song is I'd rather go blind" I'm a big Etta James fan, Saw her at the house of blues in 2005 I was debating with my sis that Etta is much better, but while watching the movie I couldn't believe how well Beyonce did in portraying Etta, especially when I heard I'd rather go blind, NOBODY else could have done this.I just wonder why they didn't use my dearest darling in the soundtrac, as that was one of Etta's biggest hits.

Am I the only one wondering what Beyoncé is playing at? I have never been a fan of her work as it is mostly "R & B" (or what passes for R & B these days) but a friend played me this song a couple of days ago and I was completely blown away. Why is someone with a voice like that singing the same shit as everyone else in the charts?
we cannot compare Etta and Beyonce's version of At Last. it is like comparing apples and oranges. both singers are so talented, and it is up to you to decide which one is best.
@natjam89 Beyonce's skin tone is just as fair as Etta's skin tone!! when Beyonce isn't wearing makeup and not getting tans then her real skin tone shows and she's very fair skinned!!
Her performace was REALLY strong in this movie. 5 stars form me. I have never seen her play such a part, she really shocked me with her acting abilites.
NO..........IT WAS A WIG!! ALL THOSE OTHER LEGENDARY SINGERS LIKE TINA TURNER,THE SUPREMES,OR THE DREAMGIRLS WORE some WIGS. I CAN SEE DAT U MITE THINK IT'S HER HAIR BECUZ OF HER HAIR COLOR BUT IT'S JUST A WIG TO LET U KNOW.
