Ms. James is one of my favorite singers, and not only for her music:
“Etta James: I’m gonna whup Beyoncé’s ass
The soul legend has slammed Beyoncé Knowles for her rendition of At Last at Barack Obama’s inauguration ball
If the election of Barack Obama was to usher in a new age of respect, generosity and cooperation, someone may want to pass on the memo to Etta James. The soul legend has ripped into Beyoncé, threatening to “whup [the singer’s] ass” for her inauguration ball rendition of At Last.
Beyoncé performed the song for Barack and Michelle Obama’s first dance, which took place at the ball on 20 January.
“You guys know your president, right? You know the one with the big ears?” James asked from the stage of Seattle’s Paramount Theatre. “Wait a minute, he ain’t my president. He might be yours; he ain’t my president. But I tell you that woman he had singing for him, singing my song — she’s going to get her ass whupped.””
