I NOTICE SHE DIDN’T TAKE ANY OF HER STATEMENT BACK…LOL!!! SHE MEANT IT…

MY MAMA TOLD ME EVERYTIME SOMEBODY MAKES A JOKE, A PERCENTAGE OF IT IS THAT PERSON’S TRUTH….IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN A PERSON MAKE A JOKE, A PART OF THEM REALLY BELIEVES AND FEELS THAT WAY….

SHE MEANT IT! LOL!!!! POOR THANG, THE PRESS BEEN KICKING DOWN HER DOOR AND RINGING HER PHONE OFF THE HOOK OVER THIS SHIT…

Joke my ass.

Etta need to fall back! She should be happy and honored! And u no what?? When she dies u know they gonna mention this. I can’t stand old mean people! What a shame!

Please. She meant every single word!!! Lmao. poor beyonce was prolly crying those eyes out. Lmao

Hhmmmm…she wasn’t playing quit telling tales Etta. lol

I thought is was a jokey joke in the first place. In fact, I thought what she said was funny as hell!!!

In fact the only thing Ms. James forgot to mention in her “joke” was how Beyonce’s areolas were showing during her performance, lol!!!

Why is Etta backsliding on this one? If you said it, stand by it.

i dont at all give too hoots about a beyonce…but etta james gon’ have to sit her decrepit ass down somewhere nobody was thought about u ms. james until beyonce got in that movie and dug that ish back up so be grateful you get to get 5 mins of fame for her and hush..plus the song is shitty and has never been all that great

She wasn’t joking. Etta, girl, please. If you’re gonna talk smack about people, don’t backpedal. You better woman up and OWN that shyt you said. Point Blank.

Beyonce is very professional. There probably wasn’t any love lost. Beyonce and Ms James know what’s up! I do think that Etta James was a little upset about not being able to sing “her song”, however, couldn’t have chosen a better candidate. Beyonce sounded like Ms. James herself. Can’t be mad at that! Well Ms James can. LOL

Guys, she is a former heroin addict and obvious attention whore.

Why anyone would take anything she says seriously is beyond me. She was popping off at the mouth when news first broke that Beyonce was cast to play her. She should have thanked God Beyonce made her relevant to younger audiences.

Also, this goes to show how irresponsible “blog journalism” is. This story was on every damn black gossip blog on the internet only because it is so “in” to hate Beyonce.

If Etta had only made the comments about Obama everyone would have laughed her off as some crazy old kook. But because she defamed Beyonce everyone was all of a sudden an Etta James fan and took her seriously.

LMAO.

……she meant every word lolol
……..she didnt say she was sorry either lolol bey
…..prolly somewhere crying just
….. stop tryna take over the music bizness
……your not god bey.. some folks will whoop dat ass
…… messing with their money lolol daddy didnt teach you that

Stand by what u say, cause CLEARLY, u were not joking.

LMFAO Okay Etta..Sure..

Poor Etta…When People Get Old They’re Rude & Angry At the World One Minute and Babies And Need Your Help the Next….She’s Senile…I Understand….

Beyonce needed to be taken down off that pedal stool she put her fat ass on!

Oh well who caresz anywaysz.

She did mean it, and I don’t blame her. Im sure her camp advised her to say it was a joke for damage control. She probably realized she went a little too far after she sobered up. Notice she didn’t apologize.

Beyonce is not God, although a lot of her hypnotized, mindless, borderline psychotic fans think she is. If Etta was upset with her singing that song at the ball, she has every right to be. Its not that serious. Beyonce would have a fit if someone sang one of her ghetto nursery rhyme sounding songs to an important couple at an historic event. It’s natural. Get over it people.

She was serious. She was a little BITTER because she felt like she should have been asked to sing the song by the President, much like Aretha Franklin was asked personally to sing at the inauguration. ARETHA FRANKLIN is a LEGEND and so is ETTA JAMES. It would have been alot more tasteful if ETTA sang for the OBAMAS & not BEYONCE.

I think she had no idea her comments would end up all over the industry & news/media the way it did, thats why she is covering it up now–trying to sugar coat her comments.

Its okay ETTA JAMES we still love you regardless!

Shoot i commend etta for speaking her mind. Everybody isnt in love with beyonce. get over it

Them Beyonce Stans probably tormented poor Etta til she had no choice…I WAS pissed at her, still am lol

I do believe that Ms. Etta was probably just jealous that she wasn’t asked to sing the song. It probably would have been nice, but do she still have her voice?

And to all those people on here calling her “OLD ASS” you can only hope God blesses you to live to be her age. ETTA JAMES made that song FAMOUS…not BEYONCE (who looks nothing like her, I dont know why they picked her (terrible actor) to play the part of this music LEGEND!

That movie FLOPPED BIG TIME at the box office what a disgrace!!!

Etta DOES owe Beyonce an ass whippin for the acting she did in that movie!

Lol at #’s 1 & 28.

That shit wasnt funny and if she was REALLY playing then she should have said so right after. I STILL THINK SHE’S AN OLD BATTLE AX! And she needs to fall back!

Agree with # 24.. So right. So true.

@FLYONE

Your a hater hun! Beyonce did the damn thang in that movie. Thats the best acting Ive ever seen Beyonce do. Etta wasnt playing she owes Beyonce and Obama apology! Wit her old ass! Yea I said it!

WOW THE WOMEN JUST SAID WASN’T TRYING TO BE MEAN , AND U PPL STILL WANTING SOMEONE TO SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BEYONCE U PPL HATE HER THAT MUCH?? THAT IS JUST SAD!!!!! BEE IS STILL THE QUEEN!!!!! BUT SHE STILL MAKES IT ON TOP GO BEE!!!

FUCC THIS OLD LADY MAN. ENOUGH ABOUT HER! Beyonce aint worried about this old tramp.

Etta went on stage in Seattle last week and told the crowd she’s gonna lay the smack down on B for “singin’ my song” at Obama’s Inauguration Ball. But not only did the 71-year-old not write the song, she wasn’t even the first — or second — to record it!

Glenn Miller did it first in 1942, followed by Nat King Cole in 1957. Etta got around to recording it in 1961. In fact, Glenn’s version ranked higher on the Billboard Pop Singles chart than Etta’s ever did.

Etta is the same as she’s always been. I don’t see why anyone is surprised by her comments.

@Lady C.

That is so Tru !!

The beyonce stands that are women, Are Single Ladies with no man and ya will never find ya Jay-z losers.

The only true Stans are gay.

Females and males that go hard for beyonce are really why get a life damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway i knew she was joking but people like to make everything so big. Where were ya when Beyonce was poping off about the jacksons

Etta covered the song, just like Beyonce. Point.Blank.Period.

The fact that Etta and her people are having to do all of the explaining shows that Beyonce did nothing wrong in all of this, and anybody trying to blame her for anything is just being hateful

Jealousy. That’s the core of this entire thing. Etta was jealous and she’s probably ashamed to admit it now, so she’s beating around the bush.

The previous story on this stated that Ms. James couldn’t attend the Inauguration festivities because of her health…which means, she may have been invited and MAY even have been asked to sing the song but couldn’t because of her health.

Etta - you’re a legend, but relax…you sounding like B stole your song and you were kept away by others from attending and singing in the first place.

We do have to remember that the administration requested that B sing the song in the for the occasion.

If anyone has the right to be upset, it should be the original singer of the damn song, not Etta.

I DONT BELIEVE THIS BULLSHIT… WHAT ABOUT WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT MY BOI OBAMA … MS.ETTA YOU GOT SOME SERIOUS ISSUES MAMA

Backtracking to save face. She must have realized what an azz she made of herself. She is upset that she was not asked to sing the song, but her own son told the world she was too sick to sing it. For all she knows she was asked and he said “Nah momma too drunk for that.” Plus the Obamas picked that as one of their theme songs before the election. And they along with the inaugeration commitee asked Beyonce to sing that song, not the other way around. Besides Barack and Michelle did not need to see her rubbing on her old wrinkled cooch, spewing profanities and slurring like a drunkard at their big event.

LETS BE FOR REAL….BEYONCE does steal songs, & choreography. So can you really blame Ms. JAMES for being a little upset or feeling a little threatened over this BEYONCE singing the song she made a HIT?

BEYONCE is like the BIGGEST “COPY-CAT” in the industry right now! are yall serious about saying ETTA wasn’t the original artist of the AT LAST song? Lets not go there when the queen of STEALING other artists work (BEYONCE is involved in this story–lets not forget).

And yall also on here talking “CLASS” & ETTA needs to be CLASSY & she too old not to be more CLASSY!

Okay wait, & since when is BEYONCE’s uneducated ass ever “CLASSY”? NEVER–PUH-LEEEZE!

LOL @ #48

I seriously got a mental image of Etta crawling around on the floor singing and using the mic as a phallic device, LOL.

OMG #! 48 u runied my brain, i can see that

and #49 get over it yall been saying it for years, dont yall get tired of this. GET A LIFE

Etta obviously forgot to take her medication..

LIES!!!!

She meant EVERY damn word she said, she didn’t even apologise!!! so dont be fooled!!

etta james your time is up and has been up your old ass needs to go away let the young and sexy replace your jelous ass!

@ #18

Shut the hell up, the story was on Perez and TMZ aswell

Etta is an idiot . she said Obama is not her president, yet she would have like to sing for him. pure hypocrite. Also ,its not Etta’s song Glenn Miller did it first in 1942, followed by Nat King Cole in 1957. Etta got around to recording it in 1961. In fact, Glenn’s version ranked higher on the Billboard Pop Singles chart than Etta’s ever did.

Etta had too much Gin. if you see Cadillac records you will understand

Aretha puts B in Check = $25 million

Janet Jackson puts B in Check = $25 million

Etta Checkmates B = Priceless (Worth more than $80 million)

Well at least Etta is kinda witty…in a way.

I actually consider the stuff Aretha said about her and Tina Turner more annoying as the whole thing was so childish (who is the Queen).

Etta James is obviously jealous, Beyonce Obviously has more money than anyone commenting on this blog who cares get over it point blank

Its kewl Etta I got your back! LOL

Even if Etta wasn’t joking, I don’t understand why she should have to explain herself. If that was really how she felt, then folks should have just let that shyt ride.

But Etta needs to learn she can’t joke about queen B, LOL! She gonna end up wit a slit throat! LMAO! Cause these stans don’t play about their boo!

Ms. James came off as bitter, angry, and classless to me. I am embarrassed for her. I think she meant it, but even if it was a joke it was in poor taste.

WHATEVER WHO THE HELL IS ETTA, I DON’T EVEN CARE ABOUT THE STUPID DAMN SONG “AT LAST” IF NOT CAUSE BEYONCE SANG IT. BEYONCE GAVE SONG ATTENTION. SO THIS OLD UGLY LADY NEED TO SIT HER ASS DOWN SOMEWHERE AND ACCEPT BEING GRANNY. NO ONE CARES ABOUT HER

LMAO @ #58

Ms. James, please girl before you start trying to bad mouth someone, you might want to pick your face up sweetie, granted you might be a legend but lets get one thing write you didn’t even write “AT LAST” nor do you have copyrights to it. Maybe if you wasnt so fucked up and methed out of your head and busy fucking your way to a record deal you would of had rights to the song. Sit your jealous ass down your just pressed because you didnt even get to sing your own song. Now take that shit to the bank and cash that fraudulant check!!!!

I still believe that it was disrespectful to ETTA…they should’ve asked her first, point blank….ms. bee was only to sing the “signature song” for the soundtrack, not to make it her own….let the lady say what she feel, at least she didn’t hide it! still lmao….goody for bee!!

So many comments about how “old” Etta is. Yet I’m certain that at least half of those folks posting that sh!t won’t live as long as Etta because UNLIKE Etta, they haven’t kept their weight under reasonable control. So, I’d rather be like Etta who looks great for her age, than “young, overwieght, and DEAD!!

# 58

janet jackson did not put bey in check, it was made, b4 u hate get your info str8

SShoot I’m just in shock over the fact that The Press Enterprise got a comment from her well gone on PE ya’ll are steppin it up lol

Etta has no Class

and she’s jealous of Beyonce

lol @ Etta and her camp trying to save face

CNN basically put the broad on blast. Showing clips of the CR Red Carpet, her performance at Fashion Rocks and Etta clapping with admiration, and Beyonce being nothing but gracious and kind to Etta, they even had a Rolling Stone rep blantantly say that Etta was clearly jealous of Beyonce!!!

Its like Etta did Beyonce a favor, this incident will AFFIRM Beyonce’s classy reputation, while it affirmed Etta’s tacky ass reputation! She is so dumb trying to save face by saying she was joking, because clearly the majority of us NON-HATERS aint laughing with that old dusty broad.

i really cant say anything because all of the TRUE bee fans have said it for me. the reality is that ETTA is jealous and she’s mad that bee resurrected that song and will be known in history for singing THAT SONG for the first black president. ETTA is too old to be acting like a jealous GIRL. BEYONCE put that bag of bones back on the map so she should be grateful. And where the hell did janet come in? Beyonce never said ne thing bad about janet.People just interpreted it the wrong way.

@ 25 Toons

LMAO co-sign 100%

Aww, poor Etta lol. If the President wanted her to sing it, he would have let her know. Obviously, he wanted Beyonce.

&& while all this is going down, Beyonce is laughing her way all to the bank! Haha. And don’t expect any statements from Beyonce. She does not entertain this type of stuff. Now Mama Tina is another story…lol.
