Etta James disses Beyonce

It appears singer Etta James is no fan of Beyonce’s.  In fact, she said she can’t stand her.

Here’s the backstory.  Beyonce portrayed Etta James in the film “Cadillac Records” and she remade Etta’s classic song “At Last” for the movie and the soundtrack.

Beyonce has been singing “At Last” everywhere since the film was released.

When she performed that song during Barack Obama’s inaugural ball, it rubbed Etta the wrong way.

During a recent concert, she slammed Beyonce for performing her song.  She even threatened to whip her rear end.

She said “That women he had singing for him, singing my song, she gon get her (explicative) whipped.  I can’t stand Beyonce.  She had no business up there singing my song that I been singing forever.”

It sounds like Etta might be a little jealous because she wasn’t invited to sing during any of the inaugural festivities.
