What is Etta James problem with Beyonce?

Man, Beyonce can sing. What an honor to perform for the PRESIDENT of the United States... she cried at the end. She's such a beautiful lady to be slammed is insult to injury. Etta should be ashamed of herself. Insulting them like that.

Whatever happened to being ladylike and gracious? Etta should keep her envy to herself. She's a has been. Out with the old and in with the new.

no person can sing "finally" like Etta James. Beyonce does no longer come close. Etta James is a legend musically conversing. I additionally consider 'the concepts of the crimson mountain' on the subject of Beyonce. Singers used to have extra classification and humility (a minimum of what they portrayed. Edit: Etta James has different universal great songs like "tell Mama" "something's Gotta carry On Me" "My Dearest Darling" and the vocals are authentic notch.

the president shouldn't have asked Etta James to perform because she doesn't even like or support Obama. Why would they ask her to sing and she doesn't even like him. Beyonce did a great job and Etta James sounds miserable and jealous.

That is strange. I thought Beyonce was good enough to be nominated for an Oscar (even though her wig was bad). Etta James should just be thankful she can walk. I saw her perform in San Francisco (2002) and she was in a wheel chair and Etta James was walking fine at the premiere of Cadillac Records.

This was so weird to me when I heard about this because Etta was actually praising Beyonce's performance now all of a sudden she wants to beat her ***. I dont know if this is a publicity stunt or what because I just can't understand how you just go from hot to cold like that. Maybe she doesn't like beyonce getting recognition for her song. Who knows

Because it was Etta James who made this song famous and timeless. Beyonce didn't have a right to sing it. The Committee should have shown the legend more respect by asking her to perform her song for the President and his First Lady. Instead, they picked Beyonce, with her no singing self.

She is probably jealous that Beyonce sang her song at the inauguration and that she didn't get to sing it instead
