  • op, and i just lost all respect for etta james.

  • Yall need to clam down 1 its not that serious to be callin etta a bitch and a cunt for god sakes the lady died just a few weeks ago 2 if you havent noticed etta and aretha have been here way linger than beyonce yeah its kinda cool that beyonce is honored to sing ettas song but she was still alive to sing it!!!

  • I think Beyonce is orignal, and Aretha & Etta needa chill with that mess. Etta be happy for her that she likes you, Aretha was it your place to comment wheather Beyonce call Tina Turner a queen. Hunney sit down. I love Beyonce & im a huge fan

  • I can't stand beyonce. She copies and steals from everyone. Be original beyonce and do better!

  • wtf i only know one song etta sang. sit your old ass down girl

  • Im always suportive to the originals never the remakes or wannabe.. beyonce needs to stop her attempts at these classic songs and just stick to  her own songs. Im a fan of Etta James and Aretha . I do enjoy hearing their songs being performed exclusively by the original artists

    .

  • Etta is an old cunt.

  • fuck etta her old hatin ugly ass...dont no body give a fuck about that dumb bitch Beyonece the truth. Gorgeous, classy, beautiful and succesful. Etta just mad sh washed up. Beyonce sing her song better than her so what is she bitchin about.

  • @boogi3black Why do you use the F word, it's a weakness to lower one's self like this. Etta is Truly great singer, with Beyonce a little way behind.

  • shes just pissed cos was asked to sing it instead of herself

    !!!

    love you beyonce <3

  • man I grew up loving Etta's at last...but she is a bitch...doesn't she get the significance of that song to Obama getting elected? I bet she's making a lot of money off Beyonce doing her songs and young people maybe hearing it for the first time...

  • Go to dancing with the stars were Etta James singed her song at 71. Beyonce stinks. Accept it. On this song.

  • If it wasn't was mrs James song bey once. Could have had a terrific song. Just like she said mrs Franklin was not the queen. Y she bey once. At their age beyone will not be as famous as these ladies.

  • Etta needs to fucking open her eyes. Twat.

  • fuck etta feed her ass some drugs dope head please dnt nobody giv a fuck bout her old ass

  • @skyfalln you know your no less then a dick.....if your going to say somthing try to make some sence....straight up....when it comes to class you couldnt even shine her shoes..im sure the high light of your life ran down your mothers leg when you were hatched........ LOSER

  • all old women are like this.

  • It was dumb for aretha to be offended...gimme a break.

  • WOW ETTA U NEED TO BE GRATEFUL SHE EVEN PLAYING YOU IN THAT MOVIE AND EVERYTIME SHE SINGS THE SONG YOU GET MONEY SO YOU JUST A JEALOUS PERSON AAND THATS NOT GONNA GET YOU THROUGH LIFE

  • Etta , really ?

    I mean . . . she should be happy that someone looks up to her ;

    That was REALLY rude what she said ,

    Etta Made herself sound JEL0US .

  • damn, all these hatefull comments!

    Y'all, the woman has Alzheimer's which was diagnosed around the time she made the comment. Angry outbursts and confusion.

  • I DONT THINK THAT ETTA SHOULD HAVE BEEN SUCH A ITCH. BEYONCE IS SIMPLY SOMEONE WHO LOOKS UP TO HER AND SHE SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT SHE HAS SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO LOOK UP TO HER. NOW THAT I SEE HOW SHE ACTS WHEN SOMEONE PRAISE HER FOR ALL HER HARD WORK MAKES ME WANT TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY BECAUSE SHE WAS SO DAMN DISRESPECTFUL TO SOMEONE THAT LOVES HER. GOOD JOB BEYONCE

  • @queensdc01

    it's been confirmed she was diagnosed with Alzheimers right around this time- her son has stated this may have contributed to her comments.

  • etta mad a beyonce over soming dum

  • "At Last" is NOT Etta James' song!! She didn't write it. The song belongs to the writer not the performer. I didn't hear Etta talking that shit when she was walking the Red Carpet with Beyonce at the Cadillac Records Premiere. Just be grateful that some wants to betray your hateful ass Etta.

  • she's just jealous because Beyonce kills the song. simple. Beyonce is better.

  • it's ok to sing someone else's song and whatever but getting a grammy for it? i don't get why they gave a grammy for something sang at president's ball and it's not even her song to give grammy for! if someone sang your song that you've been singing forever and got a grammy, would u like that? i guess there werent songs she could sing that were classy enough to be sang at president's ball...

  • @lovericecake she didn't just sing it at a ball it was also a part of the soundtrack for the movie cadillac records. And i just thought i'd point out to everyone not just you that when etta jones is singing at last she's covering someone elses songs this isn't "her" song if you know what i mean.

  • @LaLaLateefuh - EXACTLY!! "At Last" is NOT Etta James song!! She didn't write it!!!

  • etta made herself look jealous. why dwell on what has already been done, beyonce doesnt control the success of her singing, she was asked to sing it for the president, she would be a fool to turn it down. etta can sing, and the only person's voice and appearances she should worry about is her own, she should be honored they even used HER song, she shouldnt be selfish and expect to sing it to

  • Beyonce is a well rounded singer

  • This is the most beautful sing ever & Etta sings it better than anyone..even better than B. But.. Etta should not have been so rough on B. after all , so many famous singers have made sings so popular & then others sing it.. did they get angry & upset ? NO!! look at all the many songs Sinagtra made popular & so many others sang them too!! & etc......

  • no offence etta but thank beyonce for why I or most people even heard your shit

    love u kinda though lol

  • etta sounds like a fucking MANN !! beyonce all the way :)

  • what a hypocritic bitch!

  • ETTA JAMES DONT PLAY NO GAMES

  • I totally disagree with what Etta James has said about Beyonce! Beyonce may not be everyone's favorite but she sure did win 7 grammys, and your career sure was over since the dinasour's were alive, so you better be lucky she brought your old ass back alive too, because At Last was a song that equals tissue right now, and most people would've wiped their ass with it!

    I love you Beyonce!

  • @JonesIndy51 TRUE TRUE HER CARRER WAS OVER WHEN THE CAVEMAN WERE AROUND AND DINOSAURS LOZ I DONT GET Y SHE MAD ABOUT THAT BUT SHE WASNT TALKING SHIT ON THE RED CARPET

  • I totally agree! She should be honored that someone of B's level (the best female vocalist out right now) honors her and adores her.... everybody forgot about Etta before this movie came out, now all of a sudden she wants the lime light again and wants to be praised for a song that no one has heard for 20 years until Bey resurrected it?? Etta..... go retire off the royalty money that using this song in this movie has given you, join a country cllub somewhere, and leave Bey alone!!!

  • @tcrawf8 just goes to show you're misinformed. Celine Dion did a remake of it and I've heard that song performed in many theatrical venues and live performances in the past 2-3 years. I don't agree with Etta's reaction or her dissing Bey, but you may never know where she's coming from. It's her "bread and butter". If you don't know any other song by Etta James, I guarantee most people know At Last.

  • Dayumn!!! don't get surly cuz U old & waz stutterin on dancin' wit the stars Etta...U might've died @ the inaugural ball anywayz...leave B alone...b4 U disentigrate

  • beyonce didnt know who etta james was before that movie...

  • get over it she ang yo song u too old to sing anyway sheesh lolz

  • she is a legend. and the song belongs to her.

  • woww to all the comments... i love beyonce and etta should be happy that someone looks up to her and idolizes her... come on get over yourself.. stop hating on beyonce..

  • Wow that's kind of rude. I mean I can understand her anger that's her song, she made it, and it's hers. But if she were to sing it-it would most likely be croaky because she's fruggin old! she should be happy that they are even using her song. fuckin A.

  • @x0Tatianaaa SOMEONE WROTE THAT SONG FOR HER

  • What is wring with Etta? So she would have been a better choice to sing "At Last" for the president now? Just picture it. 'Aaaaaat Laaaas, cough, cough, cough...My Luuuuv , cough, cough...Damn, lets start over."

  • etta was kinda being a bitch and ya'll cnt lie

  • You are missing the point....we all know that Etta James is a high profiled artist and always will be and with all due respect. However for the ingauguration of Obama, they probably wanted a black high profiled singer to symbolise the success that many black americans have made these recent years and so who better to sing it than Beyonce.

  • @chuckyAK Well said

  • I think Jennifer Hudson would've been a better choice to sing At Last if not Etta. I feel Jennifer would've better represented the song and sang it with the power and grace that Etta originally sang it.

  • Jennifer Hudson would have overpowered that song.... Bey has a milder tone that works especially with the At Last song. Plus, the person had to resemble Etta in some way, Jennifer in no way resembles Etta. They would have had to bleach her skin lighter, gave her a mole, and through on some loud wig lol

  • @tcrawf8 I don't believe she had to resemble Etta James. I think the symbolic message for the song was "At last, America has grown, we are putting aside our differences as far as race goes and there is now a black president". That's what I believe the message was. It wouldn't have mattered if Jennifer Hudson doesn't look like Etta James. You're also assuming that J. Hudson has no control over her voice and cannot sing a song smooth yet strong.

  • Everyone who feels that Etta James is out of line and bad mouthing her needs to stop...the woman has ALZHEIMER'S disease...you should feel ashamed bad mouthing an elderly legend who is sick...

  • Oh heck, did not know that. How sad for Etta :(

  • @sryididthis- seriously! but these people are too stupid to even notice your comment. They just keep posting nasty stuff about her.

  • @sryididthis DOES THAT GIVE HER A REASON TO TALK ABOUT WHIPING BEUONCE ASS AND CALLING OBAMA OUT LIKE THAT OBAMA DIDNT DO ANYTHING TO HER OR BEYONCE DIDNT DO ANYTHING BAEYONCE WAS LOOKING UP TO ETTA IS THAT A CRIME

  • @chynacrawford07 I am not accusing Beyonce or Obama of anything. It's not thheir fault she is sick. The women has Alzheimer's disease. In case you didn't know, that disease literally deteriorates the brain. People with this disease will say and do all sorts of irrational things just like her cussing at Beyonce. That is not Beyonce's fault; but it's not Etta's fault either. She is ill and she is dying.

  • @sryididthis so you telling m that this disease make her say some dumb shit i can tell you now thats false i nkow etta james can control her self just because she has a disease dont mean nothing oh but when she was on the red carpet she aint have shit to say and she said beyonce did good playing her on the movie

  • @chynacrawford07 That's because the disease in inconsistent. That's the problem. Alzheimer's has an array of different side effects. She can't control how she perceives things, she cannot control how she responds to things. That is the disease. That is not a side effect of it that some people get. That is what the disease does. You should research Alzheimer's disease before you comment on her capabilities since you obviously don't believe me.

  • Comment removed

  • @sryididthis is it like getting drunk

  • @chynacrawford07 It is worse than getting drunk because u never sober up. She will only get worse and worse and worse until she dies. There is no cure. Her children will have to literally watch her fall apart and she will have to watch herself fall apart. She will die a slow, frightening death as people will alzheimer's always do. And you and others r on here trash talking her. Even Beyonce forgave her saying she recognizes that Etta is sick...

  • @sryididthis well i apoligize but im not trash talking about her i said that she needs to be grateful that someone is looking up to her i never knew she had that disease ok

  • @chynacrawford07 Okay, that's fine. No need to apologize to me. What you were saying wasn't aimed at me, it was aimed at Etta James. And u did know that she had that disease when you first started sending me those comments about how it doesn't matter if she's sick, etc. Hopefully next time you will take information as it is given instead of lashing out at opposing views. You're the one that said, "just because she has a disease don't mean nothing"...

  • @sryididthis no i said that just because she has a disease that dosent mean that she couldnt control herself and first of all i didnt know she had a diesease that would make her say shit like that ok dont come at me like that ok go tell other people dont make it seem like im the only one

  • What a surprise. Etta James isn't a lady... She's just jealous that Obama didn't want her foul, moody butt up on stage. Can't imagine why he didn't. She's such a well-spoken charmer.

  • I don't blame her for being pissed off. That was a historic event and At Last is the song Etta James made famous and is most famous for. Anyone that has recorded it has recorded it in her style. And if the original artist is alive and well enough to perform their signature song, why not have them sing it

  • Why? Because of her poor oration & ghetto attitude. She was purposely NOT chosen because of these things. I'd be pissed off if I was her, too. I'd also see why the decision was made, though.

  • Comment removed

  • @Lionel4482 Because she's old. And when you're old things in your body just don't work the way they used to. You get what I mean?

  • Funny...lets see...what if...hmmm...the president wasn't married and got married to Michelle while in office and by some chance.....Beyonce made a rendition of "If only you knew" by Patti labelle...and was asked to sing it!!! or Chris brown did "Ribbon in the Sky" and they asked him instead of Stevie Wonder...

    Would you feel so strongly or are you bias and missing the POINT!

    If anything it SHOULD have been a collabo!

  • etta didn't even write dat fucking son and any way beyonce has a better voice than her and sang at last way better than that ugly mother fucker!

  • etta had no right to behave that way. she didnt even write the song, did she? someone has the big green monster on her back, lol

  • the green monster is on her back and up her ass! a chew etta james

  • What is it with these emotional divas? Way to talk and gripe away all of your beauty and respectability.

  • Etta James is a bitch! She's not even in the game any more and Beyonce revived her and this is the thanks she gets!? Old wrinkled sac of cellulite!!!

  • @krabhole LOLLLLLLLLLLLL GUD 1

  • lolol

  • amen and amen!

  • Last time I checked Etta is not retired

    check on wikipedia retard, she is the original who sang it and she deserved to sing it than Beyonce

  • Tya chew la sac salop, retard lyk ur muda durty cont! Doh fockin get me vex

  • to dangelo 1990:shut the h up fore u get did in yo butt by that dog who balls u likked

  • Etta you so sad !!!

  • what a stupid bitch

  • I think, in my own opinion, Etta was jeloused..

    If I were in her place, I will, too! Since she, knowing that "At last" was her ORIGINAL song, wasn't chosen to sing that! Rather, Beyonce, who portray her in a movie, was chosen to..

    So the situation MAYBE bruised her ego as an artist, an original singer of the song..

    :-D

  • etta's tryna get fame of beyonce

    sad lil attention whore

  • Etta James had her day now a new generation is here, they both erform the song really well but its like back off

  • It's not even Etta's song. It's sung by Glenn Miller and his orchestra for the musical Orchestra Wives. So, Etta, cool off !

  • Etta you justtold the truth!

  • more like bitter old bitch cuz she wasn't invited to sing!

  • @cinqoctaves omg beyonce is so much better she wasnt trying to diss etta she was just trying 2 be like her idol beyonce is amzing and etta had no buisness saying that about her. that was so rude!

  • etta is a rude old lady.beyonce did a good job she just hatin'

  • well etta was a good sing, but beyonce did her song wayy better;;;

  • well not to hate butbeyonce didnt sing that song very good anyway she messed it up so she shudnt have sung anybody elses song like that she aint no legend

  • shut the fuck up talkin bout beyonce fore you get yo ass whooped

  • I doubt Beyonce have any say in what song she can sing for the President, it was probably chosen beforehand,it's not like she so WANTED that song. her own songs are better than Etta James' anyway.

  • THUMBS UP!

  • blah blah "all the single ladies" (repeated 29792 times) is a better song?? lmao you've got to be kidding me. All of beyonces songs lately are retarded. Halo halo halo, ego ego ego......blah blah blah. You people really dont know what good music is do you?
