Etta James Whoops Beyonce's Ass

DailyFix
R&B and soul diva Etta James went off on Beyonce and President Obama this week, apparently upset that the youthful Beyonce sang Etta's song "At Last" during the inauguration festivities while the Obamas danced. Who would you put your money on?

    • Listen Miss Thang, unless you wrote the song, you don't have any claim on it. To diss Obama because you feel left out is stupid and declasse. You act like you are the one with the chops, but someone who has been around as long as you have should know better. I thought Etta James had died, and after seeing the clips of her, I'm not so sure I was mistaken. Sasha would whup her ass!

    • Good thing Etta James is older.

      Yep soon her feet will be below the ground.

      Then we don't have to worry about this Old Crow any longer.

      What a whiner....

    • I'd think I'd have to go with Etta on the fight. She may be old, but she'd probably slice Beyonce up like a thanksgiving dinner. But it's like I say, old age and treachery will always win out over youth and skill.

    • DOUGLAS,

      If Etta apologized, then why in the fucked can't you let it go. Stop instigating.

      I bet money the both of them could easily whip your pussy ass.

    • Etta James can whail, make no mistake about that. You have to remember that black singers back in the day got nothing for their talent, they're not even considered as they should be a national treasurer. They had hard lives. Yes, there is some anger and hurt there that most people who don't know how hard life was for black artist back in the day won't understand. Trust me if you heard Etta sing At Last Beyonce can't hold a candle to her. She outta her league. And that is Etta's signature song, it's all she has after decades of not getting the recognition she deserves. Effie

    • Etta James is an old blues singer who lives in Chicago along with the great Coco Taylor. She's been around along time. Check out her version of "At Last" and you'll understand how she might be feeling about Beyonce. Old School sister girl can sang. Beyonce can't sang.

    • Diva is right, that clip makes Etta James seem very rude, arrogant, and intolerant. It like she just wanted to insult everyone because she thinks she is the most amazing singer, no, person to ever live.

    • I have a friend Jim who lived in the same rooming house w/Etta James back in the day in Chi-Town. According to him Etta was nothing to mess around with. She Threatened to kick his you know what and he got the hell outta Dodge. He says he still afraid of her.

      My money's on Etta. Old school rules!

    • I'm sorry, but Ms. Etta needs to get over herself. "At Last" is not her song. It was recorded twice before she sang it. People ought not to underestimate Sasha Fierce. Out of respect, she would keep her cool, but Sasha would kick Etta's ass.
