Did you hear what Etta James said. In case you missed it. Here it is:
“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 going to get her ass whipped. The Great Beyonce. I can’t stand Beyonce. She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol’ president day, singing my song that I’ve been singing forever.”
Rumor has it James couldn’t sing because she was dealing with complications from gastric bypass surgery she had in 2003.
So here, with all due respect are a few words to Miss Etta:
The bottomline, Miss Etta, is most folks didn’t know who you were, hadn’t ever heard your song and wouldnt’ have give a flip about you, unless the Great Beyonce sang your song. By singing “At Last”, Beyonce put your career back on the map, not hers; she’s flying high and definitely a DIVA. Unfortunately, Ms. Etta the comments confirm that you just have N.C. No Class At All.
Oh and by the way, Miss Etta, unless you’ve given up your passport, Barrack Obama, yes the guy with the big ears, he is your president too.
You should send them both thank you letters, for making it possible the rantings and ravings of a has been got on the front page.
sounds like Etta might be jealous of Beyonce’s face time with the new Prez
Personally, I think Etta wasn’t chosen because everybody in the industry knows that she doesn’t know how to act. She has always had the reputation for being loud, wild and obnoxious, even when she’s not drugging or drinking.
