Oh snap! Just when we thought Etta James may have been happy about Beyonce singing her song “At Last” for the Prez and First Ladies’ First Dance on Inauguration night, we were thoroughly wrong. Fierce Kitty Etta showed who the real Diva was and popped off extra hard on Beyonce during her concert in Seattle a few nights ago. She told the crowd: “You know, YOUR President, the one with the big ears-he ain’t MY President–had that woman singing for him at his Inauguration. She’s going to get her ass whooped….Beyonce…I can’t stand Beyonce.”
She went on asking “How dare Beyonce sing MY song that I been singing forever. Now I’m going to sing it for y’all….” I wonder if she whispered something in Beyonce’s ear during the Cadillac Records premiere.
Chick even popped off on President Obama. I would ask if she smoked something before she hopped on stage, but that would be inappropriate. Even the Seattle papers were shocked. I always knew Ms. Etta was feisty, but damn. Somebody no likey Beyonce–at all. Check the audio here. EDIT: Yes, it is really Etta, not a comedian. The Seattle newspapers and others were at said concert and they wrote a review, including Etta going off about Beyonce. A link to one of the reviews from the Seattle Times is included above.

Etta’s tripping. She clearly doesn’t own the rights to the song, so it’s not really hers. She wasn’t even the first to perform it, so…
And I’m not even a Beyonce stan…

Im not liking the way she is trying B or Obama!!! Heck, if anything-B brought to her name! :evil:
Wed, February 4, 2009 4:01 PM
I don’t care what Etta says about Bey, but don’t you dare say anything negative about President Obama.
Wed, February 4, 2009 4:02 PM
I respect my elders, but Etta please sit down.
Wed, February 4, 2009 4:02 PM
Wow…Etta needs to learn some class. She didn’t have a problem with Beyonce serenading her with “At Last” at the Fashion Rocks concert so now is a funny time to start acting brand new about Beyonce singing the song. Her ignorant comments about Pres. Obama show just how unworthy and terrible of a choice she would’ve been to sing the song to the first couple. Grow Up Etta!
Wed, February 4, 2009 4:03 PM
I love B — but I did wonder why if they wanted to hear “At last” have the original singer sing the song. My family was all confused …I had to convince my family that Etta was still alive she just got snubbed.
Wed, February 4, 2009 4:03 PM
Dead Ass is Etta back on drugs?? The Prez
Wed, February 4, 2009 4:03 PM
Fucc Etta James old HEROIN smoking azz!!! She was in a recent interview saying how happy she was for Bey to sing her song for the president and that she was in tears. She’s just mad Bey sang it 10 times better then her old azz! OLD BYTCH!
Wed, February 4, 2009 4:04 PM
OMG THANK UUUUUUUUUUUUU.
Wed, February 4, 2009 4:04 PM
Give me a damn break. what is up with these grown ass women acting like school yard children?
Seems to me that Etta’s been hitting the bottle again.
In the beginning you had no issue with Bey singing your song. Oh, I get it…Aretha was asked to sing and now your pissed that weren’t asked. Get over it.
Wed, February 4, 2009 4:04 PM
LOL…old people say the darndest things
Wed, February 4, 2009 4:04 PM
Wow Etta is just mad because nobody wanted her old wrinkled ass to sing. How is it ok for B to play her in a movie but not sing that damn song to the Prez she is very childish and all that she was saying was uncalled for.
Wed, February 4, 2009 4:04 PM
whoa..i’m in class, can’t wait to hear this !!
Wed, February 4, 2009 4:04 PM
Well, it looks like someone’s salty. Ms. James needs to calm it down, it’s not even that deep.
Wed, February 4, 2009 4:04 PM
LMAO this shit made my day. Funny as hell! I agree, tho, that’s like somebody hittin up Usher or somethin to sing Stevie Wonders greatest hits…its like um excuse me I am still alive you know..
But for real Etta, I don’t give a damn how old you are or who you are, you do NOT talk about the greatness that is Barack Obama like that!

Wed, February 4, 2009 4:07 PM
Anytime you use someone’s song, and/or trademark song for your own purposes, you still have to follow proper protocol. Regardless if Miss James is pissy or not, Beyonce doesn’t own that ish either!! Beyonce’ has been known to use other songs without asking first. Not a good rep to have.

Etta James GTFO. Better get over the fact that apparently people want to hear and see beyonce doing yo songs and not you anymore. Your career died a century ago and above all, it was up in the news she would be singing that song. If you didn’t like it, you should have made a statement to beyonce about it then, but going public and making beef for nuttin’ makes you look foolish.

****************************************************
Yeah, but I also think there’s some jealousy and hurt feelings going on there. I wondered why they didn’t invite her to sing the song since she does still concerts and can still tear it up! She didn’t write the song, so she really has no claim to it. Beyonce’ did that rendition in front of her, in her honor and she didn’t have any qualms with it. Etta gave her a kiss and a hug. I love Etta but I can’t get with ignorance. And there’s enough folks tearing OUR President down she doesn’t have to add her voice..
Wed, February 4, 2009 4:15 PM
Etta mustve hit that bottle HARD before her interview. She needs to STFU b/c no one really even knew who she was until that movie came out.
P.S. Either you didnt age very well, or you shouldve been honored to have someone as beautiful as Bey portray you on screen. GO SAT YO A$$ DOWN!

Woooooowwwwwwwwww!!! Etta calm down Auntie!
How come she ain’t say nothing when Christina Tranny Aguilera was singing “At Last” at every one of her private events and anywhere else they’d let her the last 2 years? Hmmm…
On the flip side – I’m a B fan – but sometimes she annoys me. I don’t know what it is! I think it’s all her alter egos. It’s cute when a man does it (ie, Kanye, Dwayne Carter, TI, Jamie Foxx), but when a woman does it… not so much???
I don’t know …

My question is…how is she ’stealing’ her song? The woman played Etta in a movie and resang the song to promote the movie. And was then asked to sing at the ball. How in bloody hell is that stealing? Please explain it to me?

On the flip side – I’m a B fan – but sometimes she annoys me. I don’t know what it is! I think it’s all her alter egos. It’s cute when a man does it (ie, Kanye, Dwayne Carter, TI, Jamie Foxx), but when a woman does it… not so much???

Awww sukie sukie now! I knew Miss Etta did like Beyonce back when she was pissed that B did not even speak to her for Cadillac Records. And even I felt it was a little insulting for Etta not to be asked to sing HER song. Etta James speaks her mind and I am so glad she did not disappoint me.
And didn’t nobody ask Bey to the Inauguration…y’all know there was some kind of pay off. She goes from no role whatsoever to singing at the Neighborhood Ball (twice!) and serenading the couple’s first dance – which just so happens to be connected to the single that B is promoting. Puh-leeze. That has Matt Knowles’ pawprints all over it.

About damn time someone put Beyonce in her place. An Beyonce won’t reply out of respect for her ELDER. Etta is just like my late great grand mother whom died at age 98 in 2003. She didn’t mix words or apologize for anything she ever did including shooting her first husband in the late 30’s whe she caught him cheating on her at a juke joint in the southern Louisiana. So Beyonce just needs too learn too step back and stop thinking shes the GREATEST ICON in the world. Time too shut ya mouth and fall back and RESPECT your ELDERS. An black folk raised old school know exactly what I’m talking about.

I know Wikipedia isnt always correct but according to that site AT LAST was COVERED by Etta James.
“At Last” is a 1941 song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical film Orchestra Wives, starring George Montgomery and Ann Rutherford. It was first performed in the film and on record by Glenn Miller and his orchestra, vocal by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday. The song was a major hit for Miller, reaching number 14 on the Billboard pop charts in 1942, and it soon became a standard. Nat King Cole recorded it in 1957 on his number one album Love Is the Thing. In 1960, it was covered by blues singer Etta James in a performance that improvised on Warren’s melody. James was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 for her rendition of the song.[1]

There is a youtube video of Etta James talking about how Beyonce never engaged her to play her in cadillac records. My question is, how are you supposed to be playing someone in a movie who is alive…and you’ve never engaged them??
The youtube video is called bey12.
Truthfully it wasn’t Etta’s song. At Last” is a 1941 song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical film Orchestra Wives, starring George Montgomery and Ann Rutherford.

But James’ rendition made the song unforgetable and a classic. LOL let her have it James.

I heard Etta James stated she cried and was so happy when she sang at last at the InAuguration…see below
Blues singer Etta James was overcome with pride watching Beyonce Knowles covering her classic song At Last for new U.S. President Barack Obama.
Her son, Donto James, tells the New York Daily News, “She was looking forward to seeing it. She was honored (and) she thought it was great. She’s gotten emotional, just like everybody else.”

[quote comment="412578"][quote comment="412566"]I know Wikipedia isnt always correct but according to that site AT LAST was COVERED by Etta James.
“At Last” is a 1941 song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical film Orchestra Wives, starring George Montgomery and Ann Rutherford. It was first performed in the film and on record by Glenn Miller and his orchestra, vocal by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday. The song was a major hit for Miller, reaching number 14 on the Billboard pop charts in 1942, and it soon became a standard. Nat King Cole recorded it in 1957 on his number one album Love Is the Thing. In 1960, it was covered by blues singer Etta James in a performance that improvised on Warren’s melody. James was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 for her rendition of the song.[1][/quote]

Be real….And of course Etta was cool with Bey singing ‘At last’ to her cause it was a tribute, but when you go ‘tributing’ my shit to someone else, that’s when Im’ma have to cut yo ass. The End!

Bey had to sing someone else’s song to the president because she doesn’t own a classic song of her own. Name 1 song off of any of Beyonce’s CD that would have been appropriate to sing for the Obamas? *In my best Katt Williams voice* Don’t worry, I’ll wait……..[/quote]
Why are U arguing….If she had sang Freakum’ Dress or If I were a boy!! Who cares!! It wasn’t about Beyonce it was about our President and First Lady. She doesn’t need her own classic song, but that’s not to say she won’t!!!

[quote comment="412607"][quote comment="412585"][quote comment="412566"]I know Wikipedia isnt always correct but according to that site AT LAST was COVERED by Etta James.
“At Last” is a 1941 song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical film Orchestra Wives, starring George Montgomery and Ann Rutherford. It was first performed in the film and on record by Glenn Miller and his orchestra, vocal by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday. The song was a major hit for Miller, reaching number 14 on the Billboard pop charts in 1942, and it soon became a standard. Nat King Cole recorded it in 1957 on his number one album Love Is the Thing. In 1960, it was covered by blues singer Etta James in a performance that improvised on Warren’s melody. James was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 for her rendition of the song.[1][/quote]

[quote comment="412630"][quote comment="412606"][quote comment="412582"]There is a youtube video of Etta James talking about how Beyonce never engaged her to play her in cadillac records. My question is, how are you supposed to be playing someone in a movie who is alive…and you’ve never engaged them??
The youtube video is called bey12.
Truthfully it wasn’t Etta’s song. At Last” is a 1941 song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical film Orchestra Wives, starring George Montgomery and Ann Rutherford. It was first performed in the film and on record by Glenn Miller and his orchestra, vocal by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday. The song was a major hit for Miller, reaching number 14 on the Billboard pop charts in 1942, and it soon became a standard. Nat King Cole recorded it in 1957 on his number one album Love Is the Thing. In 1960, it was covered by blues singer Etta James in a performance that improvised on Warren’s melody
But James’ rendition made the song unforgetable and a classic. LOL let her have it James.[/quote]
Engaged them? Is that the right word? Just wondering….LOL[/quote]
prosecute: carry out or participate in an activity; be involved in; “She pursued many activities”; “They engaged in a discussion”
absorb: consume all of one’s attention or time; “Her interest in butterflies absorbs her completely”
hire: engage or hire for work; “They hired two new secretaries in the department”; “How many people has she employed?”
ask to represent; of legal counsel; “I’m retaining a lawyer”
betroth: give to in marriage
get caught; “make sure the gear is engaged”
carry on (wars, battles, or campaigns); “Napoleon and Hitler waged war against all of Europe”
hire for work or assistance; “engage aid, help, services, or support”
lease: engage for service under a term of contract; “We took an apartment on a quiet street”; “Let’s rent a car”; “Shall we take a guide in Rome?”[/quote]

Pay homage and Bey would not have pulled that shit with certain other artist and let somebody perform any of Bey’s songs at a huge event and see how Papa Knowles and the gang react!
People kill me……Beyonce need to sit down, grow a personality, and develop some acting skills. Stop playing other people in movies or how about this play somebody other than a singer from the 50’s and 60’s
Beyonce stans I don’t give a shit so save it!

NIKKI we on the same page. Yall buggin out for real now!!! So if after the movie Jamaal decides to go around singing Biggies songs this is cool too?? Or only because it’s Beyonce?? You really think her pops would’ve let someone else get away with this bullshit?? And about the fact that she’s singing for the President after her ass ranted whined and wailed to perform she couldve requested to sing something else to…GTFOH!!!![/quote]
I don’t think it’s that , she could address it in another manner.I understand where she coming from.Isaac Hayes (maybe Curtis Mayfield) before he died said that musicians today sample music so much they don’t take the time to acknowledge them.So I see where Etta coming from, but she could of been humbled about it and not attack The President either.Which makes me think she salty as hell![/quote]
Talk about Bey how you wanna..but don’t you come at my President son, lmao…[/quote]
That’s for real levae President Obama out of that!
I think Etta was a little jealous….LOL but anyhoo I don’t think she liked Bey from the jump because she said and her son said that he had to do some major convincing to Ms Etta that Bey could play her because Etta didn’t want Bey for the role!

Exactly. She wasnt complaining at Fashion Rocks either. So whats the big deal. “Yeah you can play me in a movie and sing my ish sometimes. But not for the president that isnt mine” WTF? Shut up Etta…seriously.[/quote]
But at Fashion Rocks wasn’t she in the wig like promoting the movie or some shit????? IDK I tend to agree with Etta…..I mean (not with the Obama thing) but I mean Bey had to DO something than DO your own song…….
It was a SNUB!!!! Point Blank Period![/quote]
Bey had to sing someone else’s song to the president because she doesn’t own a classic song of her own. Name 1 song off of any of Beyonce’s CD that would have been appropriate to sing for the Obamas? *In my best Katt Williams voice* Don’t worry, I’ll wait……..[/quote]

Hater – Envious prick. Shit, I don’t know. I just find that people use it to damn much. Example: Girl walking around looking like a damn fool (outfit). You look at her like she’s lost her mind, and now she wants to call you a hater. No chick, you just look like a fool.

My question is, how are you supposed to be playing someone in a movie who is alive…and you’ve never engaged them??
The youtube video is called bey12.
Truthfully it wasn’t Etta’s song. At Last” is a 1941 song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical film Orchestra Wives, starring George Montgomery and Ann Rutherford. It was first performed in the film and on record by Glenn Miller and his orchestra, vocal by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday. The song was a major hit for Miller, reaching number 14 on the Billboard pop charts in 1942, and it soon became a standard. Nat King Cole recorded it in 1957 on his number one album Love Is the Thing. In 1960, it was covered by blues singer Etta James in a performance that improvised on Warren’s melody
But James’ rendition made the song unforgetable and a classic. LOL let her have it James.[/quote]

This was oh-so-classless of Etta. Sounds to me like someone’s mad they weren’t asked to sing it, instead. And Etta, you’re a US citizen, so Barack is your president, boo!
Bey didn’t do a damn thing wrong, Miss Etta. She was asked by the President and his First Lady to sing that song for them. However, it ain’t YOUR song, honey. You may be remembered for it–and I can understand why you’d be mad since that’s ALL you’ll be remembered for musically–but you RE-MADE IT 19 YEARS AFTER IT WAS ORIGINALLY WRITTEN/RECORDED. That does not make it yours because you didn’t write it, arrange it, nor record it first. Honey, bye. Now, please sat your old, hating ass down somewhere and try to act like you have some sort of class.

The Obama’s had Beyonce sing “At Last” because Etta is an old, senile ex-heroin addict. She has done heroin so long that it has permanently screwed up her brain. She is basically a hater. Honestly, why would anyone want to see her half-drunk butt sitting in a chair on stage trying to hack out that song? Gimme a break.

As you can see Miss James made it hers through her improvisation – Beyonce does it the same way as Miss James and it does not have the same soul. And as you can see Miss James was recognized for her rendition – not the other folks that sang it.
And some people need to do their research – At Last is danced to by all the presidents. You don’t remember the Clintons dancing to Unforgettable.

Wed, February 4, 2009 5:15 PM
She’s need to shut her old ass up and let Beyonce do her thing. If she didn’t know Beyonce can do whatever and whenever she wants to.

[quote comment="412717"]The Obama’s had Beyonce sing “At Last” because Etta is an old, senile ex-heroin addict. She has done heroin so long that it has permanently screwed up her brain. She is basically a hater. Honestly, why would anyone want to see her half-drunk butt sitting in a chair on stage trying to hack out that song? Gimme a break. You know you a bad B when you got the ladies old enough to be your great grandma hating on you. Go, Beyonce![/quote]

MISS CQ: UNLIKE BEYONCE…I KNOW MY HISTORY AND I WOULDN’T SPIT IN THE FACE OF ELDER JUST TO GET A LITTLE BIT MORE SHINE…BEYONCE PROBABLY DIDN’T EVEN KNOW WHO ETTA JAMES WAS UNTIL SHE HEARD CHRISTINA AGUILERA’S COVER OF AT LAST..(WHICH IS BETTER THAN BEYONCE’S BY THE WAY..BECAUSE AGUILERA HAS MORE HEART AND SOUL WHEN SHE’S SINGING)…
WHY DIDN’T BEYONCE SING ONE OF HER OWN SONGS…WHY NOT DANGERLOUSLY IN LOVE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT…I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU BEYONCE STANS SAY IT WAS DISRESPECTFUL WHAT SHE DID…IT WAS VERY INSOLENT OF BEYONCE.

My question is, how are you supposed to be playing someone in a movie who is alive…and you’ve never engaged them??
The youtube video is called bey12.
Truthfully it wasn’t Etta’s song. At Last” is a 1941 song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical film Orchestra Wives, starring George Montgomery and Ann Rutherford. It was first performed in the film and on record by Glenn Miller and his orchestra, vocal by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday. The song was a major hit for Miller, reaching number 14 on the Billboard pop charts in 1942, and it soon became a standard. Nat King Cole recorded it in 1957 on his number one album Love Is the Thing. In 1960, it was covered by blues singer Etta James in a performance that improvised on Warren’s melody
But James’ rendition made the song unforgetable and a classic. LOL let her have it James.[/quote]
Engaged them? Is that the right word? Just wondering….LOL[/quote]
prosecute: carry out or participate in an activity; be involved in; “She pursued many activities”; “They engaged in a discussion”
absorb: consume all of one’s attention or time; “Her interest in butterflies absorbs her completely”
hire: engage or hire for work; “They hired two new secretaries in the department”; “How many people has she employed?”
ask to represent; of legal counsel; “I’m retaining a lawyer”
betroth: give to in marriage
get caught; “make sure the gear is engaged”
carry on (wars, battles, or campaigns); “Napoleon and Hitler waged war against all of Europe”
hire for work or assistance; “engage aid, help, services, or support”
lease: engage for service under a term of contract; “We took an apartment on a quiet street”; “Let’s rent a car”; “Shall we take a guide in Rome?”[/quote]
LMAOOOOOOOOOO!! U posted synonyms dearie! It still doesn’t fit in ur sentences[/quote]
OMG are you really riding my clit on this? Get off my clit already. Yes that is the appropriate word you obsessed fuck face cunt bitch. Why don’t you look it up in webster dictionary and tell me what the fuck you see as a definition of “engaged”….you will see that I used the word correctly. Every fuckin time I post something your young dumb can’t see 5 minutes pass beyowolf ass has to say something. You are on permanent nig-nore.[/quote]
LMFAOOOOOO! I’m in tears laughing!! Boo, boo, it’s not that SERIOUS!!! And on ur clit, I’ve never seen you on here a DAY in my life. I’m glad I could be of assistance and boost your moral for a moment. U got in 3 good posts within an hour!!! MAJOR KUDOS! I love to help others out, it’s what I do.

You need better things to do than stalk my comments for “alleged” grammatical errors…because we all know that everyone who posts in this forum form their sentences properly.

LMAO! WOOOOOOW. I don’t even have the energy to read through all these comments but some of ya’ll are tripping SOOOOOOOO hard. So quick to hate on Bey, you look past all the facts. What exactly makes it Etta’s song? She made it famous, but she didn’t write it, nor was it written for her…
And what you all keep missing is that all Beyonce did was what was asked of her. At Last was a perfect song for the moment, and the Obama’s wanted her to sing it so she did.
That whole “She asked to be in it they didn’t ask her. Spotlight stealing Beyonce” talk is crazy. When did it become wrong to say “If there’s anything you need me to do, let me know and I’ll be glad to do it.” which is basically what she did.
Get a grip. It has nothing to do with disrespect towards Etta. SMH @ ya’ll.

I swear this madness has got to stop! Even I’m tired of all this Beyonce drama and I’m a semi-stan. This is nothing but a crabs in a barrel mentality. Just like Aretha was pissy that Beyonce called Tina Turner the Queen, Etta is now pissy that Beyonce sung her signature song at an historic event. It’s a classic case of the old school realizing they are no longer as relevant as they used to be. You don’t see real legends like Patti lashing out like that because she knows when she steps on stage NO ONE can put it down like her!
I agree that Beyonce has not made any classic songs, but what female artist has in the past 10 years? I think her new album has some potential classics but she overshadows them with that Sasha Fierce crap.

how hard is it to get permission to sing someone else’s song?
Wed, February 4, 2009 5:36 PM
It is a shame how some people are on here cosigning what Etta has to say, even when she’s down right disrespecting the President. There are so many reasons why Etta James is wrong it’s not even funny.
1) Though she made the song popular it is NOT HERS. She did not write the song, arrange it, or anything. That’s all fine and dandy because alot of artists do that, however, she was not the first person to record it, so why is she going all crazy on Beyonce about doing a rendition of it?
2) Wasn’t she just giving Beyonce hugs, and saying that she was glad that Beyonce portrayed her in Cadillac Records. Not only did she go to the premiere but she was all smiles in front of Beyonce when she performed At Last at Fashion Rocks. She didn’t want to whoop Beyonce’s a.ss then…why now? So fake.
3) You can clearly tell that the President and his team asked Beyonce to perform At Last. She not only sang it for them, to their much broadcast approval and love, they also danced to the song the rest of the night. They danced to the instrumental of the song, WHICH WAS OUT DECADES BEFORE ETTA EVEN SUNG THE SONG.
I mean I could go on and on about why this is pure bullshyt, and pure stupidity. But those who can’t stand Beyonce wouldn’t listen. Etta must either be really senile right now, or taking a couple of drugs or two. It is not Beyonce’s fault that Obama chose her, not only that, she adores Etta and has payed tribute to her. Not only that Beyonce donated her entire Cadillac Records salary to charity. WTF is she doing now, but disrespecting the President?? It’s a shame, and I truly hope she sees the fault in this.

My question is, how are you supposed to be playing someone in a movie who is alive…and you’ve never engaged them??
The youtube video is called bey12.
Truthfully it wasn’t Etta’s song. At Last” is a 1941 song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical film Orchestra Wives, starring George Montgomery and Ann Rutherford. It was first performed in the film and on record by Glenn Miller and his orchestra, vocal by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday. The song was a major hit for Miller, reaching number 14 on the Billboard pop charts in 1942, and it soon became a standard. Nat King Cole recorded it in 1957 on his number one album Love Is the Thing. In 1960, it was covered by blues singer Etta James in a performance that improvised on Warren’s melody
But James’ rendition made the song unforgetable and a classic. LOL let her have it James.[/quote]
Engaged them? Is that the right word? Just wondering….LOL[/quote]
prosecute: carry out or participate in an activity; be involved in; “She pursued many activities”; “They engaged in a discussion”
absorb: consume all of one’s attention or time; “Her interest in butterflies absorbs her completely”
hire: engage or hire for work; “They hired two new secretaries in the department”; “How many people has she employed?”
ask to represent; of legal counsel; “I’m retaining a lawyer”
betroth: give to in marriage
get caught; “make sure the gear is engaged”
carry on (wars, battles, or campaigns); “Napoleon and Hitler waged war against all of Europe”
hire for work or assistance; “engage aid, help, services, or support”
lease: engage for service under a term of contract; “We took an apartment on a quiet street”; “Let’s rent a car”; “Shall we take a guide in Rome?”[/quote]
LMAOOOOOOOOOO!! U posted synonyms dearie! It still doesn’t fit in ur sentences[/quote]
OMG are you really riding my clit on this? Get off my clit already. Yes that is the appropriate word you obsessed fuck face cunt bitch. Why don’t you look it up in webster dictionary and tell me what the fuck you see as a definition of “engaged”….you will see that I used the word correctly. Every fuckin time I post something your young dumb can’t see 5 minutes pass beyowolf ass has to say something. You are on permanent nig-nore.[/quote]
LMFAOOOOOO! I’m in tears laughing!! Boo, boo, it’s not that SERIOUS!!! And on ur clit, I’ve never seen you on here a DAY in my life. I’m glad I could be of assistance and boost your moral for a moment. U got in 3 good posts within an hour!!! MAJOR KUDOS! I love to help others out, it’s what I do. U didn’t form ur sentence properly if that’s the word you wanted to use POINT BLANK, that is all I said. Name-calling is sooooo beneath me, so I will not reciprocate it. Comprende??? Have blessed day!![/quote]
I don’t care what you do all day…you just need to stop stalking my posts like you usually do. You need better things to do than stalk my comments for “alleged” grammatical errors…because we all know that everyone who posts in this forum form their sentences properly. By the way, did you look up the word engaged? Lol do you feel stupid now that you know I was correct? Little girl, the word “engage” means more than putting a ring on it my dear.[/quote]
LMAOOOOO Where do u get this I “usually do” from?? I don’t know who u are, never seen you in here before. Ur a NOBODY to me! (hmm, that’s kinda mean to say Cherish, stop! LOL) If ur happy saying I’m stalking you then by all means honey be happy! I don’t have to look up the word “engage”, know what it means. I will continue to stand by what the I said, YOUR SENTENCE DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!! “Beyonce never engaged her” That’s like saying Beyonce never secured her (doesn’t make sense) or Beyonce never pledged her or better yet Beyonce never gotta a contract. Plain and simple I understand what you were trying to say, but you didn’t say it right. Young or not, I gotta BA in this shit. We can go back and forth if you want. I’ve earned it! :)

You stay in a Beyonce post.More than any other on this site. So it’s clear who interests you the most. Beyonce.
Get off her d.amn. We clearly see where your mind is focused. During the inaugural dance, instead of taking in the beauty of the moment between the Obamas, you’re wondering about what nasty things Michelle was saying in Barack’s ear, or noticing Beyonce’s nipples through her dress just so you can comment out of hate. Which the camera’s rarely ever did anything more than a wide shot of the whole event, or a head shot from above the shoulders. So you had to be looking at Beyonce pictures after the event. Things fans do.
Instead of focusing on irrelevant ish in the post, focus on how it wasn’t originally Etta’s song. Wasn’t written, produced, or copywrighted by her. She made it her own, she is a legend, and it was beautifully done by her. But this hypocricsy can’t be pointed out, and instead Beyonce is ridiculed by some.

Nope. I would never go against Jesus for anyone. I think the folks who don’t like Beyonce confuse people with common sense as Beyonce stans. Basically….if that was Jennifer Hudson up there signing Jennifer Holiday’s song…..would there be such a scandal? Nope. People would be saying how wonderful Jennifer Hudson did and blah blah. Even if Jennifer Holiday came out and pulled an Etta, you same folks would be defending her because, to you, she (Jennifer Hudson) is the opposite of Beyonce so you love her. My point is…..this happens all the dang on time. People sing other folks songs. And for all of you who said why didn’t they let Etta sing it. Please got to youtube, do a search on Etta James, pick any of the live performances she has done within the last 15 to 20 years and you will see EXACTLY why they didn’t ask her to sing. LMAO!
Wed, February 4, 2009 5:51 PM
I SO AGREE WITH ETTA JAMES. I’m not hating or nothing like that but it is too many Celebrities and artist in the world that could of did performance and I felt like for one, Beyonce did too much. Begging to be apart of the inauguration, and not only was she apart of the Free concert, and the group song with Stevie Wonder, She still felt the need to push for singing the first song for the President and First Lady, First dance. All I’m saying is this, she could of still sung for them, but if At Last is what they wanted to hear, Etta James is still alive and could of very well song her own song.
Beyonce stay trying to that her Character off screen and perform it as her own. SMH you just can’t do that!. U were Etta in the Movie, not in Reality.

So people are insane/delusional for stating facts about the situation, yet Etta is perfectly fine for calling out the President of the United States disrespectfully, and saying she would kick Beyonce’s a.ss even though she just hugged up on Beyonce and praised her for bringing her to the movie screen??
That makes no sense at all. But of course it is those who are called “stans”, who are crazy. That is pure foolishness if I’ve ever seen it in my life. Come on, I don’t care how much you dislike a certain artist, it doesn’t take a stan or rocket sciencist to see how petty and stupid this whole thing is. And to even cosign Etta on this would be of disrepect to Obama and his people, one because of the way she went in on him as well. Smh.

I even joked with my sister and told her if I was michelle dancing with Obama, I’d whisper to him “you are soo getting laid tonight”lol. I am just telling you what I noticed…and I am not the only one who noticed.[/quote]
You stay in a Beyonce post.More than any other on this site. So it’s clear who interests you the most. Beyonce.
Get off her d.amn. We clearly see where your mind is focused. During the inaugural dance, instead of taking in the beauty of the moment between the Obamas, you’re wondering about what nasty things Michelle was saying in Barack’s ear, or noticing Beyonce’s nipples through her dress just so you can comment out of hate. Which the camera’s rarely ever did anything more than a wide shot of the whole event, or a head shot from above the shoulders. So you had to be looking at Beyonce pictures after the event. Things fans do.
Instead of focusing on irrelevant ish in the post, focus on how it wasn’t originally Etta’s song. Wasn’t written, produced, or copywrighted by her. She made it her own, she is a legend, and it was beautifully done by her. But this hypocricsy can’t be pointed out, and instead Beyonce is ridiculed by some. Facts are always ingored when it comes to Beyonce, yet somehow those who hate always seem to pick at what info they want to know about Beyonce to use against her.[/quote]
I post where I feel. Like yesterday I posted on the Obama’s visiting a DC school. I comment on other posts as well. I’ve commented on so many artists.
I’ve even skipped quit a few posts regarding you lord and savior beyonce. So what the fuck are you saying? Maybe you only noticed the beyonce posts and not the other posts that I’ve commented on because you are the one who is obsessed…not me. Truth hurts don’t it? Unlike most of you stans I am not on here every day all day making comments or correcting “alleged” grammatical errors. I have better things to do. I don’t even know how some of you do that. And obviously you are one of them. lol get life and stop living yours through a bubble gum pop artist. Some of you are just pitiful…really. There’s a whole world out there outside of ybf…go out and get some sunshine *wink*.
I’ll check back laters to see if any of you reglas replied to this comment…I’m going out to meet my girls for an afterwork drink. Really please get a life outside ybf…you so young.[/quote]
You just said you were going to check back later??? How about you get a life that doesn’t revolve around checking back on childish comments. I just read a list of comments from you that should nothing like a grown woman with a life!
Keeping thrown sunshine in the air and LET IT GO!!
Wed, February 4, 2009 6:04 PM
TSA….please spare me your rant. For one, I don’t praise anyone but the Lord. It’s people like you who, misinterpret common sense as praising someone. Matter of fact, I don’t give Beyonce that much credit. Unlike you who would think someone would foolishly worship a musical artist. Actually it’s people like you who give Beyonce way too much credit for so called ruining things, or any other negativity posted about her. She’s just a musician performing, but when it’s about her, it’s blown up beyond belief. Like others have said, let it had been Jennifer Hudson or someone else, it would have just been a regular post. But because it’s about Beyonce, it has people’s head spinning to the point, that even if you don’t like Beyonce it becomes headline news. So who is really putting Beyonce on a pedastal if you think about it?
I don’t live my life at all through a pop artist as you say. Obviously that bubble gum pop artist has something to garner YOUR ATTENTION so much, and you don’t even like her. It takes a bad bytch of anything to have someone that focused on her who claims not to endorse anything she does. I don’t know what it is about someone being a fan of Beyonce that it has people coming out the woodworks, who don’t like her to post on and on about it. So whose really obsessed? You know more facts than the so called fans and stans..TSA. I don’t talk about the artists that I don’t like, you should try the same, instead of living yours through this so called bubble gum artist who you love to “hate” on as you call it.

Alicia Keys was messing with a married man (can you say Swizz Beatz); Mariah is damn near 40 still playing with butterfly accessories and hiking her skirts up enough so you can see her cat; and although Mary is clean cut now…we all know the Mary from back in the 90’s.

FIRST I WOULD LOVE TO BACH BEYONCE TODAY BUT I CANT. LETS SEE AT LAST IS A CLASSIC SING THAT HAS BEEN PERFORMED HUNDREDS OF TIMES BY ARTISTS AND REGULAR PEOPLE. BUT I THINK THAT YOU KNOW ITS CRAZY BECAUSE BEYONCE REALLY PUT ETTA ON DA MAP CAUSE U HAVE NOT SEEN VIDEOS OF PEOPLE SINGING ETTA JAMES SONGS AND NOW HUNDREDS. BEYONCE MAY BE A FAKE ASS BITCH BUT SHE DID HER A FAVOR AND BEYONCE SANG FOR THE OBAMAS DANCE, SO YEA LETS PUT SINGLE LADIES AND HAVE MICHELLE POPPING HER COOCH AND OBAMA BOOTYCLAPPING. I THINK IT WAS THE RIGHT SONG FOR THE OCCASION, AND ETTA BO BO UMM BEYONCE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO SANG YOUR SONG, GO ON YOUTUBE BABY

Etta needs to sit her rusty, crusty, drunkened, has-been (or really never was because yous nothing but a drugged up Sister who couldn’t beat the odds) a$$ down. The only reason she is relevant today is because of Beyonce. Besides At Last is so damn old now, it a friggin public domain! Now, poof be dead and gone talking about our Pres, b*tch, OLD B*tch at that.
Wed, February 4, 2009 6:34 PM
Ok,i read random posts and i have just few quastions?
1-Is that the same beyoncé people said ,”she is so egocentric by revealing the song(they want to keep secret before the ball),and want all the spotlight?
Why Etta james,at this moment call bey team and said:”i dont to see want this bitch sing my song?”
2-Why etta is trying to destroys such a beautiful moment?
3-For sure,people pave way for bee,But like many says:bee is doing urban rnb(upgrade u,to the left,..) not blues.So etta didnt pave really much for her.
4.After aretha,janet,now her ????
it’s crazy.when someone says bee sucks ,he/she is right(even if she drink like etta) and if someone says,bee is a living legend ;everybody take that he/she is crazy (kayne …even brandy for the more recent).IT SO FUNNY :-D
5-I didnt know who Etta james was before bee portayed her!But now ,i know that she is cocaine old woman w/out any kinds of neurons dopaminergics.

Why beyawnce can’t do her own songs? Oh, I forgot her music is to poppy and hoochiefied to sing and doesn’t make any sense.
Wed, February 4, 2009 6:46 PM
my point:
-Etta didnt pave nothing for bee cause she is urban-rnb and not blues at all !!!
-bee reveals the song 2 days before the bal by error,where were she ? Drinking i guess.A simple call would be enough to stop bey.
-i didnt know who she was before CD,now i know,she is just a old senile cocain woman without Class.
Sure tina is never going into childish affair with a lil 27 singer.
-A drug user said bee sucks =everybody says Amen !!!
A young singer said bee is a living legend=he/she is becoming crazy
IT S SO FUNNU :-D

I agree with Etta, and FINALLY someone is calling out Obama. The media has given him a PASS since he announced his run for President. It’s about time some unbiased news came out. It took Etta James to point it out.

Wed, February 4, 2009 7:02 PM
People never fail to amaze me… The fact that she spoke out against our President, because of his selection of choice for the inaguration makes you realize why he didn’t select her NO CLASS self to begin with. It about our President and not her. If I am not mmistaken didn’t she just get a movie down about her…. Everyone time comes and goes, but it’s about what you do with the time
that’s makes more rememberable… Etta WHO – I only remember the one song!!!! All takers to educate me are welcome!
Wed, February 4, 2009 7:13 PM
Everyone listen up! Stop all that hatin. That why the world is what is today because people can’t mind their own damn business n stay out of everybody else. So what, beyonce sung a song that etta didn’t like! WOW!!! Damn it sing another one. And for those who talkin shit about Obama, yall gone thank him n the long run. Hell didn’t nobody else make any progress. (added by Mobile using Mippin)

I agree. That’s why I don’t understand why certain people are still saying Obama should have picked her to sing the song? Are you serious? She just said he’s NOT MY PRESIDENT, talked about his looks, and went on to say how she was going to whoop someone’s ass over a song selection. And she would have been the best choice? Not to mention the horrid reviews given by people who were there. It’s just insane that people would even defend Etta on the remarks when she clearly shows why she is IN NO RIGHT MIND to perform any songs, let alone perform for the President of the United States who she clearly despises. Get it together folks.
Wed, February 4, 2009 7:18 PM
I respect my elders also, but I will say this Etta James should not have gone off like that, whats her problem? Older women always going on bout “BACK IN MY DAY” “BACK IN MY DAY well know it is her day, she single handedly dusted off her career, and i’m sure she was not complaining when the check$ were in order, bottom line she sounded like a bitter old women drunk and probly high of herion! And she was bad mouthing President Obama WTF is she still living in the 50’s.

People come on! Do you really think that he (Obama) picked Beyonce to sing a LIVING legend’s song just b/c he wanted to? More like obligated to. The only reason why he let Beyonce sing their first song is b/c he owed Jay-Z a favor for all the work he did during his campaign. Don’t think those free Jay-Z concerts didn’t come w/a price. And did any of you see Beyonce during the campaign trail? Nope. Only until after he got elected did she say she was ready to do anything. Not being biased, just stating the obvious.

[quote comment="412590"][quote comment="412578"][quote comment="412566"]I know Wikipedia isnt always correct but according to that site AT LAST was COVERED by Etta James.
“At Last” is a 1941 song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical film Orchestra Wives, starring George Montgomery and Ann Rutherford. It was first performed in the film and on record by Glenn Miller and his orchestra, vocal by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday. The song was a major hit for Miller, reaching number 14 on the Billboard pop charts in 1942, and it soon became a standard. Nat King Cole recorded it in 1957 on his number one album Love Is the Thing. In 1960, it was covered by blues singer Etta James in a performance that improvised on Warren’s melody. James was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 for her rendition of the song.[1][/quote]

YES, THIS IS REAL FOR SOME WHO ARE QUESTIONING IT, I WAS A NON BELIEVER AS WELL, I THOUGHT IT WAS A COMEDIAN AS WELL. HERE IS AN ARTICLE ABOUT THE SHOW THAT ETTA DID.
Etta James’ set is short but so sweet
By MIKEL TOOMBS
SPECIAL TO THE P-I
Etta James has been accorded the full respect she deserves. At last.
MUSIC REVIEW
ETTA JAMES with Leroy Bell
WHEN / WHERE: Wednesday night at Paramount Theatre
SEATTLEPI.COM: Photo gallery online
Born Jamesetta Hawkins 71 years ago this week, James has just seen herself played by Beyoncé in the film “Cadillac Records,” a loving, if factually suspect, portrayal of the Chess label and its legendary roster (Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Chuck Berry). And her ‘61 hit, “At Last,” long a favorite of grateful brides and grooms, was reprised on this month’s inaugural-ball circuit.
James celebrated her successes Wednesday night at the Paramount Theatre, arriving on stage in a motorized wheelchair. The blues, R&B, soul and jazz diva’s seven-song set seemed less a concert than a victory lap around her remarkable career, and it began on an audacious note with a “Come to Mama” moment.
The song recalled the fact that James’ first recording, in 1954, was the suggestive “Roll With Me, Henry” — it surfaced the next year as “The Wallflower (Dance With Me, Henry)” — except that on the salacious “Come to Mama” she did far more than merely suggest. The sublime “I’d Rather Go Blind” and “I Want to Ta Ta You, Baby” were similarly, well, horny, mixing sex and sax (and trumpet and trombone).
The randy edge helped James over a few rough spots, as did her eight-strong Roots Band and, on a singalong version of “Piece of My Heart,” a vocally enthusiastic audience. (Both “Piece of My Heart” and James’ “Tell Mama” became staples in Janis Joplin’s short career.)
She was equally feisty in introducing “At Last,” colorfully expressing her displeasure that Beyoncé was the one performing the song for Barack and Michelle Obama at the president’s first Neighborhood Ball. James conveyed the grace of the dreamy ballad, even though her singing isn’t nearly as nimble as it once was, while her growling accents spiced up Al Green’s buoyant “Love and Happiness.”
Local favorites Leroy Bell & His Only Friends (bassist Terry Morgan and drummer Davis Martin) opened with a pleasant, leisurely set that combined his soulful vocals with hints of Bruce Springsteen, especially on “A Change Is Coming” and “20 Years From Now.”

You sound ridiculous! Barack didn’t owe Jay a damn thing! ALOT of celebs did their part for Barack, so what makes him owe Jay and not the others? All he “owed” any of those celebs were tickets to the Inauguration swearing-in ceremony and that’s what they all got. Barack himself said he was a fan of Beyonce and trust that if he didn’t want her there, she wouldn’t have been. You’re giving Bigga more clout than they have. Barack is the most powerful man in all the free world. They don’t have anything on him.
And where were you when Bey was at fundraisers for Barack giving her hard earned money to his campaign during the primaries BEFORE HE EVEN HAD THE DEM NOMINATION (let alone the presidency)? Where were you when she was seen with Jay, Mary, Diddy, and others in Miami, Philly, and other cities making sure people got registered so they could vote on Election Day? Learn your facts before you type.

Etta is a trip, somehow I think she was joking in that statement. But then again it might be true, because she did show displeasure when they said Beyonce was playing her. For all y’all going off on Etta it was her song, and she should have been asked for permission. For the person who made a connection saying it was on the soundtrack like Listen and etc, well Listen wasn’t already released by another artist so I don’t get your point. Also none of Beyonce’s songs are really first dance for a couple type of material, even “Dangerously in Love” so I guess she had to do “At Last”. A first dance is usually to a clasic. Point is as much as Beyonce can take credit for performing that night, Etta can also take credit that it was her song performed that night. Now everyone can go home happy.

That’s where you’re wrong. As stated by myself and a few others, “At Last” IS NOT Etta’s song. She recorded it 19 years after it was originally written and recorded. And she wasn’t even the first, but second person to cover it (Nat King Cole did it 3 years before she did). If she can cover the song, why does she have a problem with Beyonce doing it?
Wed, February 4, 2009 8:05 PM
THE SONG ISN’T ETTA’S TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE…HER VERSION IS THE MOST RECOGNIZED, BUT IT WAS A COVER…”AT LAST” WAS AN AMERICAN STANDARD BEFORE SHE RECORDED HER VERSION AND SHE HAS NO RIGHTS TO IT.TOTALLY CLASSLESS AND DISRESPECTFUL OF HER TO SPEAK OT THE PRESIDENT AND BEYONCE IN THAT MANNER.LOL @ THE HATERS SUPPORTING MS ETTA COMMENTS IN THE NAME OF BLATANT HATE TOWARDS BEYONCE AND NOT REALIZING SHE WAS ALSO DISSING HE PRESIDENT TOO.

Miss Etta needs to shut the heck up. Dolly Parton wrote ” I will Always Love You”. She recorded it and years later Whitney Houston was singing it everywhere she went. Not many knew Whitney had covered another song and it was a bigger hit and made Dolly Parton name out there again. Etta just mad because nobody cared the hell about her until now. She just wants attention and bitter. The typical bitter old black woman mad because she feels disrespected. Even dissing the president of the United States. I bet if this was a white president she would have kept her ass quiet.

Tisk, tisk! It’s one thing to go hard at Beyonce, its a whole nother to go hard at OUR president. If Barack is not her president, then who is? Perhaps she was delusional from all that coke. I have to forgive her though. She messed up any opportunity she had to get back on the scene. If she felt that way about Beyonce, why not express that to the big audience she had and the premier of her movie. Honestly, this is probably why she fell off, she blew (literally) her blessings. I could careless about the Beyonce statement, but to disrespect President Obama, she took it to far, and for that, hmmmmmm, well….she’ll reep what she sewed and she has herself to thank. Speaking ill about Mr. President…she must be high!

i dont get when ppl say Beyonce’s always stealing somebodies song..what song has she stolen?? many artist re-record songs becuz they like them..and Beyonce doesnt put these songs her album..its either dun in a movie or she is asked to honor the artist like always becuz she is a great singer..so name a song that she stole?? and dont say “If I were A Boy” becuz BC Jean wrote that for her and Beyonce paid her 4 that song no matter what..i can name some artist that did songs and ppl didnt say shit about them..

You sound ridiculous! Barack didn’t owe Jay a damn thing! ALOT of celebs did their part for Barack, so what makes him owe Jay and not the others?

Barack himself said he was a fan of Beyonce and trust that if he didn’t want her there, she wouldn’t have been. You’re giving Bigga more clout than they have. Barack is the most powerful man in all the free world. They don’t have anything on him.
And where were you when Bey was at fundraisers for Barack giving her hard earned money to his campaign during the primaries BEFORE HE EVEN HAD THE DEM NOMINATION (let alone the presidency)?

I love Beyonce, but during that dance I was wondering who was singing the song.I was mad at her myself. Not all old school divas think singing their song is flattering. I also think they are a little jealous that Beyonce can sing the heck out of their songs. She should stick to singing her own songs.
Wed, February 4, 2009 9:12 PM
FIRST OF ALL LET’S STATE FACTS HERE!!! “At Last” is a 1941 song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical film Orchestra Wives, starring George Montgomery and Ann Rutherford. It was first performed in the film and on record by Glenn Miller and his orchestra, vocal by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday. The song was a major hit for Miller, reaching number 14 on the Billboard pop charts in 1942, and it soon became a standard. Nat King Cole recorded it in 1957 on his number one album Love Is the Thing. Etta James did not record the song until 1960, …. IT’S NOT HER SONG!!!

If you notice Beyonce does not work with top notch writers/producers that has shaped careers of Celine, Barbara, Whitney….Beyonce chooses writers who are contracted by Sony to share writing credits with her. Where are the 70 songs she said she wrote? All the songs on her albums are written by others and Beyonce is added as the 3rd or 4th writer. How Etta is talking about Beyonce, Beyonce will be talking the same shit when some young chick remakes Single Ladies.

Wed, February 4, 2009 9:21 PM
If it was my song, I’d be pissed off as well. The Obama’s should have asked Etta but I guess they wanted someone that supported their cause and was more popular. Bey did a good job but Etta owns that shit. No one can sing it better.
I also think that Etta should calm down a lil. I’ve heard that she was a mean as woman.
Wed, February 4, 2009 9:21 PM
Etta James is not the writer or original performer of this song. She covered the song the same as Beyonce. Furthermore, an adult with any level of class could have found a more appropriate medium for hashing out her issues. It is typical of an ungrateful, unfulfilled hood rat.
She lost any opportunity to live in the glow of the gentle re-telling of her story. We can all revel in what killed her career…impulsiveness and lack of class.
Wed, February 4, 2009 9:22 PM
Ignorance has no shame!! Why does it matter if Beyonce sang her song or not. Is the problem truly that she performed the song or that Beyonce has gotten more attention with the song or perhaps because Beyonce was invited to sing and her unclassy, dense self was not invited to perform for the President. This is definitely the “Crab in the Bucket” Syndrome. Lastly, what was the purpose of her lashing out at the President he didn’t do anything to the One Hit Wonder. I guess by the time she turns 80 she will grow up.
Wed, February 4, 2009 9:24 PM
If anything Beyonce is jealous of other women, she is not creative and takes their ideas and passes the off as her own. Some of you are to young to get it though because you are being fooled. IF Etta was so bad then why did Beyonce portray her and actually pay to do so? Obviously Etta is an Icon.

Sad part is, she’s already over 80 and STILL acting like this. I though wisdom came with old age, but I guess not in Miss Etta’s case.
Wed, February 4, 2009 9:28 PM
Now that’s a fight I wanna see!
What Etta said about Obama not being her president was dumb and uncalled for. What she said about Beyonce, it came off as childish and petty but she has a right to be mad IMO. Why couldn’t Bee sing her OWN material versus singing a song that she only covered for CR. If Beyonce didn’t have any appropriate material of her own than maybe she should’ve just sat her ass down after the Inauguration concert. I also think Etta is still PO’ed about Beyonce not meeting with her at all about the role. Etta James is one of those often forgotten legends, unlike Tina Turner and Diana Ross who are constantly praised. So I think she’s a bit territorial about her story and ‘At Last’ to begin with. If you really paid attention to Etta on the CR red carpet doing the interviews she didn’t seem to fond of Bee in the first place. None the less, the whole thing is very funny to me.

Whose ideas did Beyonce steal and pass off as her own? Beyonce felt it was an important time in African American musical history that spawned legends and classic songs and thought it needed to be told (her words, not mine). Simply put, she HAD to do it because white hollywood doesn’t give a flying fig about anything in our history. She didn’t write the movie, but no one cared enough about a black movie to put their money up, so her and Mathew took over as Executive Producers and got the wheels in motion for its production.

But I gotta say that Etta ain’t right for goin’ off like that. She lookin’ real fake sittin there smillin’ ish at Fashion rocks and at the Cadillac Movie Premiere…probably cuz they were cuttin’ that cheque and hook her up with some “perks”, so she kept her mouth shut…and then she wants go after Obama? She better watch out before she catches an Audit or Tax Evasion Case…somehow that is could happen, just because.
What if the Obama’s wanted to hear that song….as much as I cringe at saying this, Beyonce is (unortunately?…fortunately?) more relevant then she is at this time.

But at that point they were only making sure people who were already registered to vote (on early voting day) were going to vote for Obama. And that was like the week before Nov. 4th. Check the posts here, if you don’t believe me. All I’m saying is it doesn’t make sense to have the person who made “At Last” famous not sing it if they’re living. And for that matter, if you’re gonna pick a younger/youthful singer, why not have them sing a song they made famous on their own?

Etta’s wasn’t the original. The original was recorded in 1941, 19 years before Etta’s rendition. She doesn’t have to like Beyonce, but I need her to stop saying it’s her song when it isn’t. She didn’t write it nor record it first (she actually recorded it 3rd). Beyonce got thrown under the bus for claiming to write a song she didn’t (Irreplaceable), so why not Etta? Because she’s a legend? She doesn’t get a pass from me, sorry. Although, I do agree Bey didn’t sing it half as beautiful or soulful as Etta did.
And in regards to her not being happy about Beyonce playing her, it had nothing to do with Bey as a performer/singer.
