another somebody that feels like theyre owed something. for real. I don’t know nothin about this, but I read that Beyonce is portraying her in that movie Cadillac Records. it’s a very bad look on Etta James. better to be humble on things like this. you already got people making a movie about you. guess that ain’t enough.
“he ain’t my president”
all yall need to shut the fuck up with that shit already. it’s just sounds stupid hearing it again and again. just accept the mothafucker already. you “also” can’t even have your own kind to accept the new fuckin president. fuckin pitiful. shit is irritating.

people just can’t appreciate the moment that happen that day can they? first it was the dress that Michelle Obama wore and saying it wasn’t designed by an “black” designer and now this….
are you FUCKIN kidding me? where is the love? guess we ain’t there yet…we still got a long road to achieve that…
yes, it was Etta’s song, but Bee just did a cover of your song and PLUS she just did a movie about you? Beyonce was paying homage.

But Bee would tear here a new one if they got into it. She don’t look like that just from sitting on the couch eating ho ho’s. Bee works out. You can definitely believe she can go 12 rounds.

She may have took it too far but I kinda agree with Etta. They got someone else to sing her most famous song even though she’s still alive and singing. It would be like having Jamie Fox singing one of Ray’s hits at the ball if he was still around and singing.
02.05.09 at 8:44 am

Kudos to Beyonce for doing her thing at the Inauguration, she looked beautiful, as did our President and First Lady!!

#1 it’s not even Ms. James’ song, Nat King Cole sang it before her & she didn’t even write it (look it up) she’s just famous for doing the same thing Beyonce did,I f Ms. James wants to vent on someone she should start with her FANS! They are the ones who left her high & dry, no one is questioning that “At Last” is her song, but to feed into the hatred for Beyonce’ is not a good look, especially when we’re always being taught to mind & respect our elders. If u don’t like her that’s cool, if you don’t like the president, that’s cool too, but blame yourself & your fans for the downfall of your career, you don’t see Chaka Kahn getting upset everytime someone ask Mary J. to sing “Sweet Thing”! people cover people’s songs all the time & that’s the nature of the business, I’m sure Ms. James signed off in some way whether it was her likeness or music. I won’t say she needs to grow up cause she is a legend & deserves respect but the thing that our “legends” need to do is stop being so insecure about being forgotten! After all if it wasn’t for Beyonce’ many young folk (who have very short attention spans BTW) wouldn’t even know who you are, so lighten up
Oh yeah I know she’ll probably take the high road, but just once I’d like for B to address the haters by letting them know she ain’t no punk or pushover! lol

@ 23 I agree with your last paragraph, but going at a 71 year old two wrong heartbeats away from death is not the right situation. She should just let this one go, she can’t win this.
02.05.09 at 12:34 pm
WTF...etta put that heroine down!
What eva! Etta is DEAD WRONG! President Obama didn’t ask her to sing the song cause she is high as hell all the time…Etta back away from hte HEROINE! She (ETTA) has voiced that she doesn’t like him anyway! Beyonce was ASKED to sing the song, “AT LAST”….
President obama had the song as the first dance at his wedding, so he wanted that song AGAIN!Wow…..she (ETTA) is a hot mess…Beyonce did a great job, and has shown her TONS of respect and PAID that wrinkled ass to use her story in the movie which was actually GOOD…get hte DVD when it comes out. No one is trippin except people that dislike Bey for what ever reason…haters come in all ages i see…..pitiful!

someone else already said it, but it warrants repeating. Haters come in all age groups. Older people always have negative things to say about the younger generations, and in a lot of cases, maybe they should… But then you have those older folks that want all the respect in the world, without giving any in return, and that’s just not the way the world works..

I’m not saying not pay homage and not sing the song at all, I actually like Beyonce’s version. I was talking about singing it at the inaugural ball. I would feel the same about Chaka Khan, if they were singing I’m Every Woman at the inauguration, I could understand if she was a lil bitter that they picked Whitney.
02.05.09 at 2:44 pm

I just think older people went through a lot with racism….and I think she would have been honored to sing a song that she has been singing for years….just like Aretha sang…she probably feels left out of that historic event like he should have had more older people who went through the struggles given a chance to represent that moment….but taking it out on Beyonce might have been too much unless there is more to this story besides the song….maybe she Beyonce portraying her in that movie was the ignited how she feels today…like Beyonce stealing her legacy somehow LOL……Get her Eta! She sure is SPUNKY!
