Allegedly, Etta James is livid with President Obama, for not asking her to sing the infamous song "At Last", but instead asked Beyonce to deliver the classic rendition which was originally sung by Ms. James.
Recently, Beyonce played Etta James as a character in the film "Cadillac Records", which displayed the talented songstress singing her version of the baby making song.
Is it fair to say since Beyonce sung the song in a film, she also had the right to sing it for the President and First Lady?
Although Ms. James sang the song she didn't write it, so is it fair to reprimand individuals for paying tribute to a song that was made classic by hers truly anyway? No one can EVER sing that song like Etta James, and she should take solace in knowing this. But going on a rant rave and stating that she wants to "whoop Beyonce's a**" isn't necessarily the right way to garner public attention for her accomplishments. Just saying...
Update: Ms. James backtracked her words and apologized.
