Oh and it looks like all is not well in Beyonceland. Check out this audio from a recent Etta James concert in Seattle (courtesy Destiny's Child Rumors):



Not cool at all. Talking smack about Obama??? Way too much drama for your mama.

I agree with Etta!
Making the band will be interesting to watch.

WTF!?!?
Wasnt she just quoted in the New York Daily News saying she loved Obama and was happy Beyonce sung her song as the Ball?
Now she hates them both? Something aint adding up.
Loved Danity Kane. Too bad they didnt last.

Making the Band just needs to end. I mean how many seasons is P.Diddy going to ruined. He just took this show over and forgot the reason why it was started.

Is anybody else cringing at the thought of Rihanna butchering Vision of love? Omg my ears! And Etta James needs to go sit down somewhere and be happy she is getting some shine. Lets be honest, At last was never a worldwide smash hit, many people out there now had never heard of it and even less knew who Etta James is, many thought she was dead. Plus it's not even her song to begin with. She's mad that Beyonce is a bigger star, who's sold more records, has more #1's and grammys, and is more famous. The truth hurts.

Senile old hag!!! She's probably doing drugs again!!!

I feel u nicdraw,why the heck does she gots 2 go and butcher 'Vision of Love'!?!!....GOSH!!!....and what the HECK is wrong with Etta!?!....we all know that for Bey to have sung her song,she(Etta) must have given her her permission....how come she wasn't sayin nothing when Bey played her in the movies but now she wanna talk trash!!!....nicdraw is right...if it wasn't for Bey and that movie,NO ONE in our generaton would have really known about her....

Fine,Bey's actin skills aint that great but i think y'all will agree with me when i say that,Cadillac Records was the best form of acting that she's EVER done,so far....i still don't understand HOW!?! she got a GG nom for Dreamgirls but got snubbed for Cadillac Records....but anyways,back on topic....Etta needs to SIT DOWN and stop DISRESPECTIN people who tryin to keep her story alive and make her relevant....and HOW the HECK she go hate on OBAMA?!!!...actin like she got perfect ears...nuhh woman,that's def NOT a good look!!!!....

and it's really sad that Danity Kane broke up...i really liked them...they were SOOO talented!!!...it's all Diddy's fault....he's always on about HIS VISION and shit!!!..HE ALSO NEEDS TO CONSIDER THEIR VISION!!!...they the ones in the group....it's really sad,he made a GREAT group but ended up destroyin it cause of HIS VISION!!....

Most people agree that Beyonce nailed that song at the inauguration; Etta's just jealous
