Etta James is speaking out against President Barack Obama and Beyonce, after learning Beyonce performed the legendary blues singer’s song “At Last” at the President’s inaugural ball. You may remember Beyonce first sang the untimely track during her portrayal of Etta James in the movie “Cadillac Records.”
Here’s what 73-year-old Etta James had to say:
“You know, Your President, the one with the big ears-he ain’t my President- had that women singing for him at his Inaugural. She’s going to get her ass whooped. How dare Beyonce sing my song that I been singing forever.”I’ve heard this type of talk from so many legendary artists complaining that today’s artists have stole their image, essence, concepts and style. It’s no secret that Etta James feels disrespected because she believes she received a low-ball paycheck for Beyonce to transform into her. But, if Beyonce were to call Etta James to record a a duet together, Etta would probably forget all about this Beyonce beef.
Sometimes all it takes is a little bit of love to make the pain go away. Don’t you agree?
