That's the way she talks. It probably had to do with her cigarette habit, I don't know. She's a contralto and she talks like one.

Where's the rest? I was waiting for Etta to sing her song. Also, don't know how true, but the First Lady I've read somewhere, have it in for Beyonce, too because she has a thing for Obama since 2007. If she don't clean up her act, she's not allowed into the White House again, according to Mrs. Obama.

Etta James takes shots at Beyoncé and President Obama

Etta James and Beyoncé in happier times.

Beyonce sings 'At Last' for Obamas first presidential dance
Her love song makes history
Beyoncé's rendition of "At Last" at the presidential inauguration hit a sour note with at least one person - the woman who made the song famous.

At a concert last week in Seattle, legendary crooner Etta James slammed Beyoncé for serenading President Obama with her signature song.

"I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song, she gonna get her ass whupped," James told an audience at the Paramount Theatre, sarcastically calling her "The great Beyoncé."

James didn't finish there.

"I can't stand Beyoncé," she spit out on an audio clip posted on Allhiphop.com, adding that Beyoncé "had no business ... singing my song that I been singing forever."

On inauguration night, Beyoncé kicked off the Neighborhood Ball with an emotional performance of "At Last."

As Beyoncé fought back tears, Obama and his wife, Michelle, swayed cheek-to-cheek in their first dance of the night, creating one of the lasting images of the evening.

Two weeks ago, James' son told the Daily News his mom, who has suffered health setbacks after gastric bypass surgery, was moved by the performance.

And the pair didn't seem to have a problem with each other last year when they posed together at the premiere of "Cadillac Records," in which the younger singer portrayed James.

The audio clip also reveals that the 71-year-old James apparently isn't very fond of Obama, either.

"You know your President, right? You know the one with the big ears?" she asked the audience. "He ain't my President."

A spokeswoman for Beyoncé said she had no comment

Ain't chu never seen an Etta James show before?

She's not as mean and raunchy as Millie Jackson, but her shows in earlier days certainly helped set a mold of sorts for this kind of concert antic.

If you get a chance, check out some of her live performances (maybe on youtube?
confuse)...I've been listening to her concerts and going to her shows for the last 18 some years, and I swear if that's an impersonator, they're doing a FLAWLESS impression...but actually, I doubt it. It sounds TOTALLY like her to me lol
