Sure...this controversy has been on the net for a few days now, but I thought I'd post it after finding a decent YouTube link for it and her apology for the incident was weak. Beyonce in my view sang Etta James song "At Last" at Obama's inaugural ball as more of a promotional ploy for the Cadillac Records movie which I'm sure Etta co-signed her approval for seeing that she's still living (Beyonce was also one of the producers for the movie, to think Etta could have been more grateful). In stark similarity to how she's portrayed in the movie, Etta showed no class in her later years by downing Beyonce (the modern day mainstream star) for singing her classic song. The modern singer always resurrects the classic singer of older days, and she should have seen it as a compliment - instead she ashamedly had this to say...
The Incident...
Now don't get me wrong I love Etta's "music" but I did not like her weak apology...

Beyonce did an amazing job in the movie portraying her, i have etta james CD at home and I played Etta side by side with the movie comparing both singers, and Beyonce was amazing enough to sing at Obama's inaugural, whats wrong with this chick? lol
