"'The great Beyonce ... I can't stand Beyonce,' James said in the clip from a Jan. 31 concert at the Boulevard Casino in Coquitlam, British Columbia. 'She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day, gonna be singing my song that I've been singing forever.'"I agree. Having Beyonce sing - well, lip-sync - the forever classic Etta James song, 'At Last' at the inaugural shindig, well, that's just cold not having James sing it herself." Why was Beyonce selected over James, anyway? Beyonce played James in a movie, that's why.
Etta says it stung to be not invited to the inauguration to sing "her song." You gotta agree, no matter whom you voted for, that's pretty low down and dirty.
Here's more from MTV news:
Ouch.During the gig, she criticized the singer's performance at the inauguration. "You guys know your president, right? You know the one with the big ears?" began her rant, a recording of which was obtained by TMZ. "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 a-- whipped.
"The great Beyoncé," James went on. "Like I said, she ain't mine. ... I can't stand Beyoncé. She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day, gonna be singing my song that I've been singing forever."
