Who cares? She is so unoriginal. I can list 5 things off top that she stole from other artists. Me and a co worker were talking about this the other day. Beyonce is a biter and she has been called out by other artists before. What I don't understand is why Etta was hatin on Obama? Forget Beyonce with her boring personality having a$$. Solange is way more interesting than Beyonce and I don't like her either..LOL But why was Etta sayin Obama aint her president? Who is her president? Callin him big ears and stuff? So what? He got big ears. Etta, you weighed 300 lbs at one point and have always looked a mess. I mean I'd rather have big ears. Everyone keeps talking about Beyonce. Who cares? She is so unoriginal.

She changed it around in the 60s to make it her own, and Beyonce copied her performance almost note for note, *not* what you are supposed to do when you sing a standard.

So whenever Etta James is asked to do anything, she's asked to sing that song. Of Course she doesn't collect royalties on it because she didn't write it, but it's the song in pop culture she's forced to sing over and over again to make a living, so I'd probably be a bit territorial about it too. But, we all have opinions, I'd rather spend my time and money on people that actually have the ability to sing, or the good sense to record songs they didn't write instead of putting out crap with samples (Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" samples a Dramatics Song from the mid 1970s) and non sensical lyrics. To me Beyonce's wailing is less appealing than a old Hoover Vaccuum with a broken belt, then again people said the same things about Diana Ross 45 years ago. It's to each their own. But, if we respect Aretha and her crazy ass hat (and quite a few of her crazy ass statements, remember she want's Halle Berry to play her in her life story?) We can tolerate, and possibly understand wheh our grande dames of Soul music might say these things. If you lived the life of segregation, lack of royalty payments and lack of objective critical understanding of your art, you might say something vaguely bitter too when you're 71 years old.

How is this news? How is this important. Ok, I guess Etta had to remind people she was not dead. I thought she was. I mean, when was her last hit? What new material has she done? How is she in anyway relevant? Beyonce in my opinion is an entertainer. She can sing, dance, act...No, she is no Ms. Franklin or Ms. Fitzgerald in the singing department but neither are they like her in the dancing department. And when it comes to pipes Etta is a a mediocre singer in comparison to the greats mentioned above. Beyonce did a good job with the song IMHO. I know she has more singing talent than anyone who is responding to this QUEERTY posting. One would have an easier time comparing Beyonce to Ms. Della Reese. Ms Reese is a Grande Dame with amazing talent in the art of singing, dancing and acting. A woman whose talent kept her very busy and very popular for decades. Ms. James, your 15 minutes were up decades ago. Thank you for the 1 hit. I enjoy it every time I hear it. T. My 2 cents…WHATEVER! How is this news? How is this important.
