Etta James is pissed off at Beyonce, The President, and probably anyone else in her way. At a recent performance held in Seattle, Etta held nothing back….saying:
“You guys know your president, right? You know the one with the big ears? Wait a minute, he ain’t my president, he might be yours, he ain’t my president. You know that woman he had singing for him, singing my song — she’s gonna get her ass whipped. The great Beyoncé … But I can’t stand Beyoncé. She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol’ president day … singing my song that I’ve been singing forever.”
You can hear the audio for yourself below. I think it’s unclassy of her to do all this, but at the same time you can’t be mad at a woman, who keeps it real. As Beyonce should know (she played her in a movie) Etta is a sassy lil’ number, and I’m quite sure with age, she’s obviously only gotten sassier. She’s just trying to get some new found attention, I guess…We’ll see how this one turns out, soon enough. Poor Beyonce…(snicker)
