Remember last year when Aretha got ticked at Beyonce/the Grammys?

This is much better. Least Aretha's comments were more "modest".

Timmy84 said:

Etta, don't give a FUCK! But what was that mess about Barack ain't her president??? Maybe she's having a lil arterial flow problem.

SCNDLS said:

Someone said Etta was drunk.

i knew it!!!!! it was obvious when she sang it at an awards show and etta was there, she was not hapy and at the end she clapped 4 her u could sooooo tell she wasn't happy.


and b allll i love you please!!!!!

SCNDLS said:

She might be a Republican or a PUMA but for what she said about Beyonce, she's my motherfucking girl!!!

Wait..huh?

Is that Etta James talkin'

trueiopian said:

Yes!

Timmy84 said:

Why is her voice so deep?

HatrinaHaterwitz said:

Oooh, Lawd I can't wait to see a reporter aks Bey about her comments.

trueiopian said:

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.

And you KNOW Michelle ain't playing and carries a shank in her shoe. Bey betta pump them brakes.

angel345 said:

GET OUT!

Timmy84 said:

Oh o.k. LOL!

She should never show such bitterness. There is no class in being bitter.

SCNDLS said:

I heard about this but then heard that it wasn't really Etta but a comedian.

JackieBlue said:

For real? It wasn't Etta?

Timmy84 said:

I don't think that it's real Timmy

Man... talk about a raw deal if that wasn't Etta...

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

I read it somewhere online too. That's why I had to find the video and then post it here.

banks said:

That sounds like her to me. I've seen her in concert waaay too many times and she's ALWAYS been ornery. Don't you know Etta will CUT somebody???

dreamfactory313 said:

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.

JackieBlue said:

If you get a chance, check out some of her live performances (maybe on youtube?
)...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

etta james will whoop Beyonce' AND her Daddy's ass!!!!!

AND....."ether" Jay-Z worse than Nas!!!!!
Don't f**k w/Etta James!!!!!
I just have the slightest feeling that Vera from "Harlem Nights"
was inspired (just a little) by Etta James

Actually I can't wait till Pimp Daddy Knowles unleashes his same "broken record" tirade about how his lil' girl was chosen by god as Beysus Christress
