"Your president, the one with the big ears ... he had that woman [Beyonce] singing my song. She gone get her a** whipped."

I do not think that Etta James should have made such negative comments about Beyonce. Beyonce did a fantastic job. I have lost all respect for Etta as an artist and will not be going to any more shows ever. How can someone so well respected make such negative comments. Singers are always singing each other songs and it is a tribute to the original singer. Very disappointed with Etta James as a role model.

While Beyonce did a wonderful job in the movie; it was an insult to not invite Etta to sing her signature song at the inaugural ball
