Yeah the ONLY part. Other than that he's right lol

Beyonce either in a group or solo has never made a memorable song period.

tin can albums.

she can sing and yet it is missing soul

MJ changed the course of music twice all Boreyonce has done

has changed the horse weave.


not great as a live performer. good and has had good moments.

Boreyonce kinda reminds me of kobe bryant in that she overacts and trys to create more storyline than needs to be,


considering al the hype Boreyonce gets you'd think whitney, diana ross, gladys knight,chaka khan would something to worry about?

she looks like a superstar, has pressence and charisma however most of her music wouldn't bring lisa lisa back

she has michael jackson aspiration however she is stuck with marlon jackson background tracks


fyi imo Lauyren Hill was the last closes act to run R&B,pop and hip-hop.

all the contrived grammys,etc ain't selling me on her

her music are fast food and straight drive thru without much substance. so it makes sense.

let me tell you something if Etta James was White and she is BTW half Italian, however she is also Negro, if she was all White ain't no way in Sammy Davis Jr would she dare go to the white House and Perform a signature song.

folks don't have no respect and understanding when Beyonce gets in her 60's and let somebody name Crayola get up there and perform "Crazy in Love" for that era President I bet she will act differently.


you just madd because I called Beyonce out on her fraud ways as a artist.

no Songwriting or Producing

over singing and over performing having self.

non acting self.

alot of artists give back what's your point?

bottom line she is overrated and corny.

makes cute songs and is musically limited and uneducated.

some almost 30 something married woman walking around talking about to the left, to the left,

put a ring on it

and trying to make shock videos with non singing turkeys like Lady Gaga and Shakira??

if you knew your history you would understand why Etta James was upset and rightfully so.

chick gotta over spent to sell a album and re sell that same album 99 different ways with adding 1-2 more corny tracks.

She is a Cute Act without alot of energy I'll give her that and little else.


you see I grew up on the real stuff and this chick is minor league stuff 101.

back when the labels cared and had A&R somebody would have guided her thing and told her to make some real songs. not no corny "Ring the Alarm" but wait that song rivals Angela Davis speeches and Protests right?


just because she looks good doesn't excuse wack music. she and Mariah Carey are about 5th or 6th grade Musically literate IMO.

I'm gonna post some of Mistermaxxx's responses to ?uest

@ the name Crayola, but yes Paul Mooney said the same comment about Etta James.

Had she got up there and sang a Barbra Streisand tune, you know all HOLY HELL would be raised, seen and heard

But to Bey's defence, Etta wasn't in a good condition to perform the song(according to her son).
However, singing "At Last" is a PROOF that the girl couldn't find anything worth substance from her own repertoire.

If memory serves me, didn't Etta James give a show in Canada, after the inauguration, and said Obama is not her President, and that she wanted to beat up Beyonce for singing her song

I've said before... it comes down to nobody giving a damn about Etta James, black or white...

She's not that important, its that simple. There woulda been an uproar if it was an Aretha song too...

At Last has been sung by so many ppl, nobody knows or cares who sang it first, it comes down to that.... everyone knows Aretha was the first to sing I Never Loved A Man... its not about color, its about status...

If it was about color, Aretha's fat black, croaky singin ass wouldn't have been invited to any events for the past 10 years... she's a hot ass mess in every way imaginable, with a skank attitude to match, and she gets away with it... because of her STATUS...; everythin aint about black and white...

Says who?

Just because YOU don't give a damn about her, does not mean other folks don't.

And the reason why nobody made an uproar is because folks are TOO BUSY with their own lives to be picketing outside over who SINGS what song like a bunch of no lives having, in need of a GOOD lay dumb mofos do I think its unfair to Ms.Peaches? Sure I do, but I don't think it will take anything from her legacy, because anybody who LISTENS to music with their ears instead of their eyes will tell you who OWNS this song,,,,,and it ain't and never will be "Beysus".

I don't know Harle, if that heffa tried that shit with Aretha and I'd just have to be one of those swell life having, gets laid GOOD and PLENTY, smart ass mofos picketing outside over who SINGS what song!

I don't know Harle, if that heffa tried that shit with Aretha and I'd just have to be one of those swell life having, gets laid GOOD and PLENTY, smart ass mofos picketing outside over who SINGS what song!

I wouldn't,,,,,I would sit on my couch with a having a helluva chuckle watching Aretha paying her & her daddy a "memorable" visit.

But my point wasn't "who's song she sang this time" as it was "WHY she sang other people's songs instead of choosing from her own", and the answe can be found in chickenheadville.

@ the thought of Beyonce gettin' slapped by two titties

There will NEVER be another Michael Jackson, only a fool would say that...

She might be the next Elvis though....

See, how people don't bring up the "Kang" of Rock N Roll, and compare him to recent upstarts..

Its okay with African Americans though.

F'em, and anyone else comparing MJ to lesser "artists"...

they compared Eminem to Elvis, and actually they compared MJ to Elvis on plenty of occasions, too

Bruce Springsteen and Bono have also been compared to Elvis. And believe it or not I HAVE seen the media saying "the new king of rock 'n' roll". Of course either they don't live up to the moniker or they just wither away much like the "new kings of pop".

I'm a little tried of hearing and reading that Ms. Knowles stole something from Ms. James. A lot of aristist/musicians have signature songs sung and recorded by other artist/musicians. What rock have you've been living under? Ms. James didn't even write the damn song. Mack Gordon and Harry Warren wrote the song in 1941: Nat King Cole recorded the song in 57. If the President and/or his wife wanted Ms. James to sing 'At Last" at his Inaugural Balls they would'have invited her but they didn't. The is some Negro mess. If you're going to rip the women base it on something that's tangible instead of that bullshit.
