0 better watch out if he has eyes for Beyonce, Jay-z will jack his you know what!
Etta is a legend — one of the greatest blues/jazz performers ever. And even at this age (over 70) she still rocks the house all night. Old school.
Etta owns that song and it has nothing to do with zerobama.
You left out the money quote!
“Etta told the audience, “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. How dare Beyonce sing MY song that I been singing forever. Now I’m going to sing it for y’all….”
Nothin’ like ‘the one-and-only’.
Etta was dissed bigtime. Beyonce play acting Etta in a movie is one thing; but after B had sung earlier at the Immaculation...why have a repeat performer performance? Why not have the original come and do the song? They propped up Aretha hat and all...(and the chapeau is now in the Smithsonian!?!?!?!) Anywho...Ms. James should have been given her props, and invited. I (honestly) thought I had missed her passing somehow (between the movie) and then Beyonce doing the song for the 'Dance.' There are some songs that no one else should ever touch...At Last is one of them. For the current cast of Democratic characters though, I would have suggested Cher's 'Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves.' But I am sentimental like that...
The song “AT LAST” has been making a comeback on its own, well before the movie Cadillac Records, and Etta is probably justifiably pissed in a “last straw” kind of way, that she and what she made of the song are being frozen out yet again/ Has anyone noticed how many American Idol contestants have been citing and performing this song for years?
Which begs the question...who more resembles a chimp, Dubya or Zero?
I love Etta James!!!! You go girl!
