Sorry, but Beyonce will never, NEVER, hold a candle to Ms. James. Etta did not have any help with her vocals. She could sing.

@noalittleaboutlot this is true, but a person can still like both. I wouldn't choose to listen to any of Bey's covers over Etta, but I like "Once in a Lifetime" from the movie

COME ON MS. ETTA, BEYONCE BROUGHT U BACK IN THE LIME/ LIGHT. BE PROUD THAT OTHERS WILL KEEP THESE FOGOTTIN SONGS ALIVE, U HAD UR TIME NOW ITS THEYOUNG PPL TIME, BEVERLY SUE JOHNSON

@jakeith212 I really liked Cadillac Records and think that Beyonce did a very good job. What I am sorry about it that the movie has tied Etta to Beyonce forever for people that didn't know of Etta beforehand. Both can be enjoyed, or not, on their on merit without comparison.

OH TO HEAR ARTISTS COME OUT WITH SONGS LIKE THIS AGAIN, THEY ARE THE BEST ETTA JAMES, NINA SIMONE, DINAH WASHINGTON, BILLIE HOLLIDAY, AND OF LATE ARETHA, GLADYS, DIONNE, PATTI ETC. THESE CHICKS TODAY ARE ALL SEXY BODIES AND NO SUBSTANCE TO THEIR MUSIC

@BabyK118 I feel the same way. And to your quality list I would add Ella.

@bydesign001 -Ok yes,u got me there! Etta is the legend that brought forth the stage for these others...if I said that right? And I totally agree!All I was saying is that they r ALL great! But u r right on Etta being the original sound.

[kashaherum]

@noalittleaboutlot WE MUST BE REMINDED THAT THERE ARE 4 GENERATIONS BETWEEN THE TWO..AS A MATTER OF FACT ETTA COULD NOT TOUCH PATTI LABELLE OR ARETHA. YET SAME GENERATION..BEYONCE CANNOT SING TRU BUT THEN AGAIN WHAT HIP HOP ARTIST CAN?

[XvmerrivX]

@jakeith212 the MOVIE Cadillac records brought a new generation to Etta, beyonce only played a part in the movie. bey did a good job along with sound mixers of a cover of Ettas songs. But the STORY is about Etta NOT beyonce.

This song brings romance back into life. Rip Etta!
