i love you etta james but plz just let her have her moment you had your chance to shine maybe he couldnt reach you
I think that Beyonce just did what she was asked to do. I don’t think she “thinks she’s better than she is.” Besides, IT’S NOT ETTA JAMES’S SONG! It was written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for a musical, I believe. Many people have sung that song. Etta was just pissed that SHE didn’t get asked. She should have been more graceful.
Here’s the thing- I love etta’s songs. I do. Who doesn’t think they are classics? But it’s just so unbecoming to sit there n bash beyonce! I don’t love beyonce but she’s a great singer n dancer so I respect her! To me Etta needs to respect n appreciate that beyonce portrayed her ass in a film! I mean there’s so many important people in this world…so if u don’t appreciate a movie n actress wanting to portray u then u think to highly of urself. I will always love etta’s music. And thanks to the film that beyonce played in, tons of people will but etta’s music again! Be appreciative. Don’t b a bitch Etta! We all are bitches sometimes but be a woman a take back ur statement or apologize. Don’t have someone apologize for u! Really I respected u Etta but to me it’s childish n ungreatful to attack beyonce! Be greatful that ur song was even played at the inauguration. Etta was just pissed n I can understand that but show some class! Another thing I don’t like Obama but not because he didn’t invite Etta to song her song….stupid…but because he has destroyed our constitution and gets away with breaking the constitutional laws….bullshit. I can’t wait for a new president. Come Obama lovers…bring it on I dare ya. Give me a real arguement n I will slam ur stupid uneducated racist ass into the ground. I love black people but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna love a stupid ass black president. I’m gonna treat him equally just like I do everyone else. And obama is destroying this country so I’m gonna say it!
funny!
I didnt know beyonce was singing ettas song right away i thot it was etta,But,I was glued to the tube once those 2 songs bellowed.was beautiful,Etta.your song for sure but older an wiser u should have gotten,not cold and bitter,I am sure you got royalties,get some anger management!Beoyonce did heartwrenching job in my books! I recorded it to 2 discs and all over my computer differnt places.First time i ever heard of it!
Its in everyones nature to feel second best in such a situation. Our challenge is to recognize envy and jealousy. Etta clearly didnt care to take the higher road. Yes bey is over rated but blaming her is senseless
