Oh, I get what you're saying. I'm just saying that, as far as I'm concerned, Etta James so rules with that song, she can get just as azycray about it as she wants to and she'll still get a pass from me.

Beyonce should get her ass kicked for singing any song.

I miss the Destiny's Child Beyonce, not this one. I can't stand her.

I agree.

She was balanced in Destiny's Child. Now there's nothing to balance her out.

A man after my own heart.

I think Etta's anger is misplaced. I think she's pissed at the fact that, instead of getting to sing the song she made famous, a currently famous person got to sing it instead. She'd probably be heated no matter who was asked to sing it--especially a pretty young lady at the top of the career, not unlike Etta was when she first covered the song. That'd put a bad taste in anybody's mouth (and has many times before this).

It's like Faye Dunaway beefing with Hilary Duff over Bonnie and Clyde talking about "could you have cast a 'real actress?'" LOL

Duff was like "I would feel like that, too, if I looked like that at her age." LOL

I agree with BOTH of them.

The musical interlude did not need her.

That musical interlude did not need to be in the Oscars.

I think this is the consensus. LOL.

I feel a little embarassed for the guy who did the interlude and for Hugh.

Etta better watch out - her version is now in a Hoover commercial!

I was thinking the Oscars were SO GOOD this year.... till Beyonce took the stage. Were any of her films nominated? No? Then she had no place being there.

But she is Beyonce.....we should all bow in her presence....

As I was watching the dancing piece, I was like.... "Oh, girl....no, you didn't!"

That was such a slap in Etta's face.....it didn't belong there and it was just plain wrong...

They inserted At Last so randomly just to get a response. Ugh.

it's not like Etta James wrote the song, I really don't see where she has any grounds to stand on.

It's like if I built a racecar and then one driver drives it, and then another driver comes in and drives it in the second driver's own personal way, who is the first driver to really say anything about it? And I think her threats on beyonce are compeletly uncalled for and unprofessional.
