Etta James Wants Beyonce's Ass Whopped!
Move over Faye Dunaway and Hillary Duff!
There's another (better) old vs. new cat fight in town.
Beyonce just can't get Etta James out of her system after portraying the legend in the movie Cadillac Records.
B has been singing Etta's famous song, At Last, all over the place since the movie, most notably for President Barackand First Lady Michelle Obama's first dance on inauguration eve.
The inauguration crooning finally pushed the old gal over the edge! She said the following about Mrs. Jay-Z and her inauguration snub:
"You guys know your president, right? You know the one with the big ears? Wait a minute, he ain't my president, he might be yours, he ain't my president. You know that woman he had singing for him, singing my song — she's gonna get her ass whipped. The great Beyoncé … But I can't stand Beyoncé. She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day … singing my song that I've been singing forever."
There's been no comment from the Beyonce camp about this diss.
Dramz!

Jennifer Holliday did just about the same thing to Jennifer Hudson….these old women are making asses of themself y aren't they happy somebody looked up to them or even still cares abt they ass…Etta sounds like she still on that stuff….lol damn i just lost respect for her
.
.
.
LG BELIEVES BEYONCE TO BE A PROPER YOUNG LADY WHO WAS RAISED TO RESPECT HER ELDERS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO HELPED PAVE THE WAY FOR HER STELLAR CAREER.
.
BEYONCE WILL NOT GO ON THE COUNTER-ATTACK BUT IF SHE DID LG WOULD BE TERRIBLY DISAPPOINTED!!! B WILL HANDLES THIS SITUATION GRACIOUSLY, LIKE THE PROPER YOUNG LADY SHE IS!!!
.
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The one and ONLY Etta James should have been serenading the President with the Big Ears!!!!
Beyonce is whack…Etta gave birth to that song!!!!
hmm i wonder how beyonce feels about this :S
Re: BBBoricua loves Angels & Demons… –
Cause these girls are WHACK….there's LOTS of whack alleged "talent" out there.
Questionable "talent" And these ladies "old" or whatever you want to call them…ought to know.
.
.
.
PALIN WOULD JUST AS SOON SHOOT ETTA JAMES FROM A HELICOPTER AS LOOK AT HER!
.
How rude and classless! What is it with these legends getting such pissy attitudes publicly lately?
I don't like Beyonce either. But DAMN. Get a grip, old girl.
It's very clear that the older you get, the more the dementia sets in. I just lost all respect for the old hag. I don't really care all that much about her bashing Beyonce. IT'S NOT HER SONG. She didn't write the song, she just covered it, so I don't see how she can justify any claim on the song. But the thing I am pissed off at is her denying Obama as "her president". If she is a citizen of the USA, her president is Barack Obama. Get over it!
LOL…ETTA JAMES IS FUNNY, BUT SHE IS RIGHT, I THINK BEYONCE IS JUST A ATTENTION WHORE, SHE LOVES THAT MONEY AND FAME. SHE SINGS PRETTY BUT SHE AIN'T GOT SOUL LIKE ETTA JAMES
YEAH, Etta James!
Who owns the rights, anyway?
Well, yeah…why did they have the imitation sing when they could've had the original (who does it better anyway). Makes sense to me. You go Etta!
what does she mean by, he's not her president?
Well she's right, they probably should have asked her if Beyonce could sing the song. But if they have the rights to the song then she can't really complain. Because the president chose Beyonce, so get over it.
BEyonce needs to retired already.. I agree with Etta, beyonce can't even sing the song right. she can't sing..
DATS WTF I'M TALKIN 'BOUT!!! Finally a BLACK artist….a LEGENDARY BLACK ARTIST telling it like it IS!! YOU GO ETTA!! I GOT YO BACK!
Wow, Etta sounds REALLY intelligent.
whoa, she's still alive?!
I dont like Beyonce either. In Houston (where I'm from) she runs around town bumping into all the locals. She has quite the reputation of being a snob amongst other things. Ive had a few encounters myself…..its ALL true. I'm with Etta on this one!
HHHAHAHAAH thems fightin words! i would soooo pay to see that fight!
*ding ding*
I didn't even know Etta was still alive- learned something new.
•
OMG!!!
•
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!
•
THANK YOU MISS. ETTA JAMES!!!!!!!!
•
it is about time someone valid called beyonce and her no talent ass out!!!
•
and to think the Great Lady - Miss Etta James was the one to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
•
i have always loved , and respected Miss Etta James' voice…
•
but now…i have an even GREATER RESPECT for the woman!!!!!!
•
Well Done Miss james!!!
•
I thought Etta was dead!
"At Last" is not YOUR song, Etta, you didn't write it, and it wasn't even written for you (it was written for Glenn Miller!). Music is for everyone, so stop trying to lay claim to a piece of the art that is the birthright of all human beings.
OH DEAR ETTA has just TOTALLY embarrased herself here! She was respected as a ledgendary singer + has shown herself as a petty old woman who is jelous of a very talented Beyonce who actually looked up to her! She's totaly ruined her reputation now……..it's quite sad if you think about it. Bitterness doesn't suit ANYONE!
what a jealous old hag…..how can someone as old at etta be so jealous of another singer in her 20's?, she should be embarrassed by her comments. B's got it honey and you don't, get over it and shut up before you embarrass yourself even more.
Sour grapes!! Someone needs to remind Etta James that it's not "her" song - she didn't even write it!! In fact, it was written 20 years before she recorded it. Lots of other people sang it before her, including Nat King Cole, so why can't anyone sing it after her? You weren't asked to sing at the inauguration - get over it. I did. What a cenile old bag who needs to quit sippin the Haterade!
ETTA JAMES IS A DUMB OLD HO - SHE SAID THIS TO A CANADIAN AUDIENCE!!!
BARACK OBAMA IS NOT THE PRESIDENT OF CANADA, BITCH!!!!
Last I checked Ms. James was an American citizen, so President Obama IS her president, whether she voted for him or not. I agree with her sentiments and I would've preferred her singing over Beyonce, but she could've gone about it in a classier manner, saying something like "let me show you how it's really done."
LMAO…i heard this on the radio this morning and Bey better watch her back…they say that Etta was drunk and pissed….and you know her mother was a prostitute and her father a card shark john, so she was born with anger issues…too funny…
whats her problem
Thank you, Etta James!
I absolutely agree that it was a major, major diss of Etta not to be asked to sing the legendary song. IT IS HER SONG! SHE made it famous, SHE made it a classic, SHE'S the legend, the classic, the heart and soul. Why the Obamas didn't ask Etta is mind-boggling. It's like (if you could) asking the Fine Young Cannibals to sing Can't Help Falling in Love over Elvis Presley …
That said, I hope Etta whoops Beyonce's narcissistic, spoiled-rotten, ignorant, uneducated, conceited, self-righteous, dimwitted, materialistic, superficial, pretentious, laughable, plastic-surgery loving ass.
Isn't imitation the sincerest form of flattery????
To Etta James:
#1 - If you live in this country Barack Obama IS your president.
#2 - Beyonce did a fantastic job of singing your song!
#3 - You should be thanking Beyonce and not acting like a jealous lunatic!
beyonce better watch out
I bet Beyonce's father–Mathew Knowles will have something to say about this.
And Etta was in Vancouver, which is in Canada–a different country. I guess she was offended Obama didn't invite her to sing at the Inauguration. But I doubt Obama had anythign to do with this.
Ignore her, Beyonce, she was relevant about a million years ago.
Maybe Etta is on dope again. Beyonce did that song justice and before B played Etta in the movie people thought she was dead. She should be happy Beyonce brought her back into the limelight. She needs to get a clue. Beyonce introduced her at last year's fashion rocks concert and was extremely sincere with Etta. All those people who don't like Beyonce are just jealous and thier time has passed. Tina Turner loves Beyonce. Tina is touring the world to sold out houses. What is Etta doing? Etta has talent, but once a junkie….
Anyone seen Etta live? There's no way she could be trusted to behave
Another psycho menopausal bitch heard from!
this shiz is hilarious, this old ass person, tryna pick a figt with Beyonce, sure Beyonce needs to get her ass kicked, but is this old bitch really gonna do it?, that would be fuckin comical!
I told everyone this was going to happen and they didn't believe me. HA HA! Beyonce knows she sang that song all f'd up. Ghetto sounding. If 2Pac were alive he would've kicked her and Jay-Z's az for that remake of Me and My Girlfriend. You can't go around f'n up classics biatch.
Lol I just can't have enough of old people gone bad… I am sure B's camp won't issue a statement… B is too good for that!
Etta can blow Beyonce outta the water with her voice.
Get over yourself, old lady. There will always be someone younger, sexier and more marketable who will move in and take over! That's the WAY IT IS in the industry.
You didn't write the song, Etta, and it doesn't belong to YOU… so go take your dentures out, drink your Metamucil and have a nap.
beyonce finally gets called out for stealing
Etta, move over!!! You were bumped ages ago!!!!! Now be a nice little girl and grow old gracefully!
I would be really pissed off too if some random stupid wannabe bitch started singing my song. Think about it, that song is Etta and will always be. Just because Beyonce portrayed her in a movie doesn't mean she owned the song. Why can't Beyonce sing her own songs? Etta when you see that bitch I hope you tear that wig/weave whatever it is and kick her ass.
Etta should have sung it. She's a living legend and Beyonce is a wannabe. Beyonce had already sung the day before and they should have let Etta have this one.
Besides Beyonce is way overexposed, she is EVERYWHERE, maybe it's time to take a long break.
Wait a minute… I agree with: BBBoruica….what's with the old hags?
1. Even if one doesn't vote for a particular president, and he wins, then he is still EVERYONE's president, right?
Otherwise, that's TREASON!
2. Etta James obviously isn't relevant anymore, otherwise they would've asked her.
3. Maybe they didn't ask her, b/c as Etta said it: He AIN'T her President.
so after all that, email this post to her and tell her to Shut the Eff Up, you old hag!
I've noticed people calling Etta and even Arethra old bitches, but you have to think about it. These women earned they're way to the top, especially being black back in those days. Not like today where all you need is a good manager and looks/sex to get ahead. So, in fact these old bitches people call deserve to be called Divas because they worked their butt off. Peace!
Hey Barrack, that's a big "faus pax" to have Beyonce sing the legendary song of Etta James at your inauguration. Etta is not in a grave and she could've done it. Big mistake. I prefer a thousand times Etta's version of the classic. Who made this decision to choose Beyonce? I understand why Etta is pissed. She should be.

Team Etta is right, B. isn't all that and she needs to step back and recognize.
Also, what's with all the trash talkin' on the old folk? That s!t is gonna come back and bite you when you're in your walker and your kids won't visit you because you're mean and you won't take a bath.
Go Etta!!!!! You get on with your bad self girl!!!!
You gotta love the fact that she's not afraid to speak her mind and could give 2 shits about what people might think about her dissing the "GREAT" [sic] Beyonce and that black man in the White House!
I love her more now and just for the record, Etta sings it better!
It would have been classier to have Etta sing at the Inauguration. Oh well…class isn't what this presidency's about is it?
Oh, snap! This is drama.
Re: LG sez Drug Test PALIN Now! – Oh, lord so true! LG you are so right!
xo!
Sheba
Etta James isn't even relivent. If it weren't for Beyonce I wouldn't even know who she is. Maybe that makes me sound ignorant but who cares. If you live in the U.S. then Barack Obama is your prersident so stop being such a crusty bitch and get behind America or leave!
I may not agree with her on what she had to say about Barack, but I LOVES me some Jamesetta Hawkins! I knew she wouldn't approve of Beyonce who bitched and moaned about gaining a whole 15 pounds to play Etta. Boo-fucking-hoo! Team Etta!!!!
well, not the best way to word it…but I actually hear where she's coming from. i mean, why ask for beyonce when you got the original live and well…other than perhaps he wants those that are more "it" right now….and i hate to admit it but the new prez does seem to have a thing for the spotlight and a-list celebs….i know a lot of it he can't control, but he should really make a conscious effort to distance himself from all that now that he's won
lol! TEAM JAMES!!!
i thought she was dead?
I totally understand hating Beyonce but Obama? What is her problem with our President? I really really wish Beyonce will go away. She is boring, stupid, mean, untalented, egotistical, insecure and her style is atrocious. I just saw her hideous clothes in a ghetto store for 90% off and that shit still ain't selling. Her husband is probably the most hideous person I've ever seen and he'll probably cheat on her smelly ass anyway.
OMG! Etta James is BAD ASS! Love her and totally agree. Beyonce is SO overrated!
Shouldn't she be gald a new generation is hearing her song? Crusty old freak.
What a bitter old jealous woman.
celeb death match anyone?
Etta needs to calm down…it's just a song. Not like B's claiming it as her own or anything.
Well she's right. Her whole rendition of the song was totally copied by B. It's one thing to do it for a movie, another to do it over and over like you created it yourself when you didn't, and when the person who did, is still alive. These older women had more talent and went through a whole lot more to get the recognition they did, whereas the younger women have basically been manufactured, stamped out, based more on looks than on talent, and yet they claim to be so original.
This is some ignorant bullshit. Yeah Etta, no one else is allowed to sing "At Last"? Its not your song. Your not the first one to sing it. You didnt write it. You didnt have a problem with Beyonce when you were hugging her on the red carpet at the movie preimere of Cadalliac records. Or when she sang it ALL OF THE OTHER TIMES. As soon as she sings the song for the president, its all of a sudden "your song"? This is some major hating at work people. Your not young anymore. People sing other artist's songs all of the time. Get over it, and move on. First Aretha was hating, and not Etta. WTF
Sounds like the legendary Etta James is a bit bitter!! Don't hate ’cause your glory days are over, while Beyonce is currently living hers. This is how legends can ruin their own legacies. Taking digs at the President? Not classy. Be a little gracious, it goes far.
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
ETTA JAMES ROCKS!!!!!!!
MS ETTA WAS JOKING YOU KNOW,BUT SHE IS TELLING THE TRUTH.THIS IS HER SIGNATURE SONG THE SAME WAY "I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU " IS WHITNEY HOUSTON'S .MS ETTA IS ENTITLED TO HER OPINION.BEYONCE WAS THERE JUST TO PROMOTE HER DAMN SELF.NEXT TIME YOU ARE INVITED TO AN EVENT DEAR BEYONCE SING YOUR OWN CLASSICS:DIL,FREAKUM DRESS,NAUGHTY GIRL,SINGLE LADIES(EVEN IF JAY-Z PUT A RING ON IT 6 YEARS LATER!),SUGA MAMA,KITTY KAT OR DIVA.YOU HAVE YOUR OWN REPERTOIRE. IT REPRESENTS YOU AND YOUR WORK.USE IT.AND TO MS ETTA ,BE SURE TO REMOVE THOSE BUTT PADS OF HERS BEFORE WHIPPING ; SHE NEEDS TO FEEL THE PAIN"AT LAST"
ette, considering u are not the songwriter but another singer, please hush…. oh, your mad cuz beyonce is "erasing" ur legacy and putting her stamp on "your song"
Good, Beyonce thinks her shit dont stink, she needs to be be reminded that she aint nothing. Go Etta
Re: WALE – i will alway luv u is ms dolly partons song she wrote it as well
etta did not write at last so she needs to get over herself and her legacy. she too old to act like a kid
daaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyuuuuummmmmnnnnnnn i bet b had to have her bodyguards come help her pick her jaw off the ground when she heard about this! They'll work it out.
Dude, I guarantee Etta has a glock in her bedroom. No fuckin doubt about it. And if not, her bodyguard does. But then again, why mess with Hov's b'otch? That dude has plenty of homies that have killed people.
Wow, how jealous can this old hag be? She's ancient and you would think that she would take pride in the fact that hollywood wants to make a movie with her likeness in it, honoring her and her music. What, she thinks she should have played herself? ha! I don't think she could get away with being that young anymore…lol. GET OVER IT! Plus Beyonce did a great job on that song. Haven't seen the movie yet but can't wait!
Ridiculous. I would think Etta James would have more respect being an elder. Beyonce might sing like she wants but you dont go around threatening to physically abuse someone. Get over it Etta your time is up.
good for etta, i can't STAND beyonce let her have it
I love Etta James and own "At Last!" her first album and I can't say that I would EVER own anything from the overhyped, marginally talented but very pretty Beyonce. To the fool who thinks Etta is only known for the song "At Last"; clearly you haven't attempted to make yourself familiar with Etta's other material so how can you marginalize Etta knowing absolutely nothing about her music? "Stormy Weather" and "A Sunday Kind of Love" are such great songs.
LoL I didnt even know that she was still alive! hahahaha. Ok, I by no means am a Beyonce fan but damn! Real Classy Etta….real classy.
wowzer's! HATERRRRR! She's a junkie what do you expect! I love B!
Whoop, there it is!!
That old feisty fucker can kick Beyonce ass, no doubt about it. Etta should have sang, it's "her" song, but the prez has the hots for B! LOL
Well, it IS Etta james' song. She made that song. Beyonce ain't got nothing on her. Etta James IS "At Last." The original one beats the rest!
that old hoe needs to fall bk … she is just madd cos beyonce sings her song better than she ever could arrrrr bless lol x
That's right, You go Etta
I'd like to wish a big congratulations to Etta James, because now when she dies, not only will they say that James is best remembered for her amazing song "At Last", but her rant at Beyonce and President Obama.
Way to tarnish a lifetime of work, by opening your mouth and spitting out bile WEEKS after the inauguration. Brilliant!
1st off: Etta didn't write the song
2nd: Beyonce offered to sing soon after Election Day , She wasn't invited
3rd: After hearing Etta's comments about the president its a good thing she wasn't invited to sing
4th: She obviously has no business in front of a microphone because she has proven just how unprofessional she is.
Finally: can the girl even sing after so much smack and ect.? maybe shes just hard up for a fix and thought it was a paying gig .
fuck etta james old ass
nd fuck yall rascist bytches on here!
Re: JET –
