Etta James-I'd Rather Go Blind

[210b3auti3]

@kjam5 thats all im trying too say ! thanks for agreeing

[ayeeemandy]

R.I.P Etta <3

[Csipesz2004]

csodálatos zene, csodálatos hang, csodálatos asszony...



[sheba24680]

aw poor mickey mouse

[carole123ize]

I saw Etta live every time she was in Seattle--there are just no words to describe her charisma! I miss you Etta--but you have left behind for all of us your legacy both personal and professional struggles--you were one strong lady and that energy will never perish! Rest well--my dear Etta!

[angelaharrington1687]

im singing this in the blues project this year!

[curiousela1]

beyonce has a good voice but she's not classy. Listen to Rachel Crow and amazingly she can sing with the same spirit of Etta. Besides, she looks like her a lot, incredible!

[xoglambeautyxo]

when people try comparing a legend to beyonce and the original singer...

[meliysmeli707]

i can't belive that she died

[lishsocut]

beyonce sings this better

[Jaskhk]

RIP x

[MrHappygirl21]

ugh enough about rachel crow ! seriously if that the only reason why you know this song you need to get educated about music real music i love all of etta's songs and i know them because of my mom and dad not because of some girl on tv by the way im only 19

[kjam5]

@210b3auti3 im 12 and i have knwn about her since i was 9 and i totally agree!!!! Thank you for bringing this up !!! i understand that Rachel Crow is a good singer but let's be real, NO ONE CAN COMPARE TO ETTA JAMES

[sheba24680]

[Fa3nga]

[SuperCadillacdude]

I frickin love this song! I could listen to it all the time! You can feel so much pain and emotion in it. it's so raw and powerful...

[XxDEATH5TROKExX]

I have loved like this and let me tell you this song, says it all....she's stolen the very emotion to my soul

[islamevewahab]

the lyrics kill me how much i love this song!

[MultiDavis2]

Me too Miss Daisy; what an awesome blues singer and no one can sing this song with such feeling & soul like Etta James; it actually gives me goosebumps; love it

[iBanqScenekiddz]

[bball3751]

[aliouarab]

Great Song <3

[mzdecka]

Etta can sing...but i think beyonce did wayy betta because shee has more spirit n soul...its like etta is singin it because she has to but beyonce sings it like she is really feeling it...

[MoChA36o]

@mzdecka etta has more emotion beyonce was ACTING!

[awwyeahme2]

@MoChA36o i agree. Beyonce havent been thru anything like this... U know etta has been thru this... u can hear it & feel what's she's saying

[MoChA36o]

@mzdecka etta has more emotion beyonce was ACTING! just wonderin did you hear it from beyonce first?

[mzdecka]

@MoChA36o But dats even worst if beyonce sounds betta and she was ACTIN!!! etta was supposed to sound betta because she really went through it.....Get That??

[918chucks]

@mzdecka Etta is waaay better, beyonce wasnt recorded in the 50's for one.

[LadyMistry]

Singers in those day's went through REAL hardship so when they sang they really did sing from the heart. soul and where ever else they could find to sing from.

[nellyboyles]

Etta had heart & soul... Beyonce has looks

[tdbrown88tdb]

that guitar rocks

[mzbarbiebeauty]

dis muh shit

[msmijaxD]

This songg goes HARD!

Thank you for posting it!(:

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat Job!

[TheKiss636]

Beyonce sings good but Etta James has more soul

[qq2ofus]

40 years ago this past summer, my mother loved this sooo much, I went and bought the 45 for her, today I saw Beyonc'es version, and it brought me to tears, as I recalled my moment in time so long ago, my mother is long gone, but Beyonc'e sure brought out the heart, and soul.... Etta she sure does you justice, and ANYONE who says different....... don't know soul........ I miss those simple days of growing up

[DAN3MAR]

I lOvE ThIz SONG IT MEAN'z A lOT TO MEh

[DaBaddestChikk23]

iTS A SHAME DAT BEYONCE DID HER SONG BETTA DEN SHE CUD DO IT HERSELF

[srtabojangles]

do really think that? When etta was young, her voice would break hearts... Beyonce... I like her... but she is no Etta James...

[tolojr]

Each era of music possess qualities and singing particular to that time. This comparison is inaccurate, for the time of Etta and before singers evoked good old soulful music that is hard to come by today.

[eviletna101]

I completely agree. More emotion more soul.

[ferretsangle]

@tolojr Oh there was soul-less music back then, it's just not remembered today. ;)

[marlowsw]

RIP lil lorraine n christina

[pinkwaterblue]

[daisygurl09]

@pinkwaterblue that's with almost any song that's redone the original in most cases always sounds better
