That's because you are too young, or you know nothing about music. Beyonce has been in this industry for a bit over a decade, famous finally after " Survivor" with D.C, there were other artist before her. I don't know where on my video I stated that Beyonce wasn't a great artist, she just shouldn't sing every song. You may not know Etta, but unless you are under the age of 16, you have heard AT LAST before. You need to learn more about the history of black musicians to understand my take.

are you kiddin me right now do you know that most songs out came from music from back in the day. do your homework! and Etta James should be honored to have someone like BEYONCE singing her song. Beyonce is putting Etta James back into the spot light by bringing back her music and doing that movie. Etta James had her day when she was young she needs to stop hateing on Beyonce and you should do the same!!! GOS BLESS!

[envy0521]

You're kidding me right? Why on earth would you be honer, if you're not dead yet, that someone else sang your song, when you clearly could have done it yourself? That like, for example your an artist, a painter or writer, and someone decides to redo your work. You are lying to me and yourself when you say that. I will be okay with that. Even if it were someone Famous.

oh yeah by the way our The President Of The United States requested her and that song to be sung...it was a beautiful moment...

[envy0521]

No his staff did. He wanted Jennifer Hudson to perform.

[xxxihattpolxxx]

She didnt change the song at all......stop hating....they paid etta james for the rights to that song and to use her name in the movies and she didnt make the sone nate king cole did sweety.......BEYONCE ROCKED IT!!!

[envy0521]

You my dear, clearly have no idea what a hater is. I said nothing disdainful about her. I stated an opinion, and your comment is funny because Etta doesn't have the rights to the Song, so she isn't getting paid... think about it... You sang a song for over 40 years, only get paid when you version is on, no the only one on the radio is Beyonce, the checks stop... people are not thinking clearly. WHAT ETTA said was wrong, her words tasteless, but her reasons were not.

I have to totally disagree with u Rucka! Beyonce is a very classy woman and yes she has songs that are club "bangers" but she also has songs that show her softer side which makes her such a great arist, her ability to do both styles. Now on the Etta James situation she was totally out of line which I won't comment on! But it's the same situation with Jennifer Hudson performing Jennifer Holiday's song. No one made any fuss but because it BEYONCE it's a different story.... Totally Hypocitcal!!!

I respect both beyonce and Ms. Etta James. I feel Beyonce didn't mean to be disrespectful in any way but it may have come off that way. It is right that they should have at least performed the song together to signify Etta's importance to that song that she made famous. I'm sure all of this was just miscommunication and a misunderstanding.

[Annazayla]

I love Beyonce, but I won't go so far as to say she sang the song better than Etta James because, she did not. In addition, Etta James was wrong in the way she conducted herself. She is old enough to be Bey's grandmother--Etta shold be ashamed of herself.

[sosexynbeautiful]

first of all u dumb bitch, beyonce song that song better than the original, second of all beyonce is very classy she's one of the most classy out there, and third of all that old bitch and whoever else should be greatful she played her in the movie, etta james sounds like she's just upset because her career is over and beyonce looks and sings better than she ever will, BITCH YOU KNOW BEYONCE YOU SEE WHAT ALL SHE ACCOMPLISHED SO DON'T GO THERE BITCH. im sorri im hella mad let me calm down BITCH

and bitch u write some10

[soulfulCJ]

I agree with you 100% . . . as many times as people have covered that song. that song has been recorded millions of times before beyonce sang it and nobody said nothing. Why now? Plus beyonce wasnt doing nothing but honoring etta james legacy, get off her back an give beyonce the props that she deserves.
