I am not one to get all up in anothers affairs. But, this issue that Etta has against Beyonce' is absurd! Etta is upset because Beyonce' sang "At Last", at the President's Inauguration on January 20, 2009. From what was told, Beyonce' did not ask Etta's permission to sing her song. Etta felt that Beyonce' should have asked her instead of being so fast to jump for this opportunity. So, now Etta is going around saying that she wants to whoop Beyonce's ***. This is crazy. Etta also went on a concert somewhere and she said that the president with the big ears let that girl sing my song. People was shocked at Etta's words. They felt that she was out of line to disrespect the President as she did. And from what I know, Etta was pleased with Beyonce' playing her part in the movie. But, now she is mad about her singing her song. This is even messed up. I heard that Etta is not the original singer of "At Last", someone else made this song. She is not the original singer. I am sorry that this had to come to this bickering. I know that Beyonce' is a very mature young lady and I don't think that she will stoop the Etta's level. Many say that Beyonce' should have asked her about singing "At Last", at the Inauguration. Etta thought that it would be proper for her to sing the song instead of Beyonce'. But Barak Obama allowed Beyonce' to sing this song. It could be money in this deal, maybe that is why Barak let Beyonce' sing. Aretha Franklin sang her song, so I guess that Etta felt that she was the right person to sing her song "At Last", instead of Beyonce'. I really feel that Etta is taking this out of hand, but she needs to be respected. This should be handled better than it was. What do you think?

I could not believe my eyes or ears. I heard etta myself on tv say these things. I think she should have tore into Beyonce as she did. How would Beyonce like it if her sond was dealt with like that.

Hi cream97,


I don't know who Etta or Beyonce, but I think its all down to jealousy and I thought that you have to ask permission before you sing some elses song but if Etta is not the origional singer, well she reall have no say in the matter, otherwise she can sue Beyonce.Hugs.

Hi cream! I didn't know that this was still an issue. It
happened right after the Inauguration and I haven't heard
anything about it since then. I really don't think that
Etta James had the right to say what she said in the manner
that she said it. She didn't need to attack Beyonce and she
most certainly didn't and shouldn't have said what she said
about the President! I feel that she was completely out of
line in both instances! She was angry because she wasn't
invited to the Inauguration and wasn't asked to sing! So she
took it out on Beyonce and then insulted the President! Not
very becoming behavior!

I think Christina Aguilera's version of "At Last" is far more better than Beyonce's version.

Happy MyLotting!
