@@angelawilliams1451it's funny how just because of her age she is being mean. Give the same words to younger women of today and they are just sassy and confident. Women like this invented that sassy and confident thing for ladies... Etta James is the original bad girl of r&b and a vocal powerhouse
April West I agree. Died shortly after tho? Hmmm, she looked so well. M.A. Arch, people don’t consult those they are not willing and wanting to pay. The hate is misplaced tho. Not like Beyoncé wrote her storyline. How it is when you’re in the public eye. They make up their own story up about you.Sonetimes it stick, sometimes it don’t. RIP Etta.
This woman been through alot, She paved the way for people like Beyonce, during the Jim Crow area, pioneer of the game she deserves the right to say what she feels...
@@blc1595 She shouldn't do no such a thing! Beyoncé played her in while she was still alive and didn't have the decency to talk to her, she had every right to be upset. If it was the other way I'm sure Beyoncé wouldn't like it either and neither would her fans, if you are going to play somebody who's alive the least you can do is talk to them even if you choose not to use the things said to you by that person in your interpretation, it's the respteful thing to do!
Beyoncé is not perfect. (Although I like to believe!)And I get you on the respect Part! But we don’t know all what transpired for Beyoncé to feel comfortable to portray Etta without “her consent” Beyoncé did a Great Job! And kept Ettas Legacy alive! My generation wouldn’t even know Etta without Beyoncé! So yes she should be proud!
@@blc1595 As you've said is a matter of respect not consent, I'm sure Etta was happy a movie was being made about her but imagine her disappointment when she discovers the person who's going to portray her isn't even going to ask her questions about herself and her life (a life with many ups and downs that only Etta herself could describe). You only know of Etta because of Beyoncé, I'm 25 and my sister is 20 and we grew up listening to Etta James, she is a legend and her music will live forever, the fact that Beyoncé (or any other person who would've portrayed her) played her doesn't mean anything to the legacy that is Etta James. Just imagine if it was the other way around and in a few years somebody does a film about Beyoncé and the actress doesn't even talk to her and somebody goes and tells you "Beyoncé should shut up and just be happy because she is keeping her legacy alive". That's some bulshit right there, if you are important enough to have a movie about you (the movie is about Etta and other legends) I would say that your legacy is secure enough.
Beyoncé and the films production team really should have talked to Etta about making the film and what they should have included in the movie. If they did not contact Etta about the films production, then how do we know that the movie tells the true story, or if its not just a made-up thing. Etta James is shady because it should have been her that should sing for Barrack Obama. She recorded the song originally and had sang that song for over 40-50 years. So I think she has the right to be irritated and a little angry. Thats just my opinion though, so take it for what it is. :)
She was absolutely right and I cringed for her knowing Beyonce didn't even consult her about her own life. Wondering what she'll say when it happens to her in the future.
Her voice was much deeper than I thought. The old age recordings quality didn’t do her voice justice.If it was recorded in high quality studio today i think it would show off the power in her voice better.
Hahahahaha so true. Sick of people saying bey don’t do the song justice. Every time I hear the song from Cadillac records I feel some type of way. Love to hear bey sing the song.
I understand what yall saying but honestly I wouldn't want anyone telling my life story without my approval. That's still disrespectful no matter how people try to make it seem. You have to respect other people's legacies humble or not. Just like that "Notorious movie" ( Charli Baltimore and Foxy ) played a big part in Biggie's life as well not just Lil Kim but they left a hugh portion of the movie and switched the story around & "Straight Outta Compton" did the same.
..the GOAT🥀 ..she was definitely providing the shade to Humble them all ..how you gon play me in a movie & not even go above & beyond to get to know me in REAL life when im STILL here ..make it make sense🤔💭

Inasmuch as we all knew Beyonce did wrong for not consulting "her", She would have still kept her cool, moreover she is a Goddess of music, and she has seen it all these years, and beyonce is like a baby to her
AMEN!!! Etta James!!! Etta James, you said it and it's true she don't sing as good as you!!! Whatever she sings I don't pay no attention to because "REAL" music lovers stick with what's real and you ........ I feel your blues, love you 🌹
Yep, sure won't. The fact that Beyonce never asked Etta james for any permission, or included her just shows how little Beyonce appreciates Etta and most of all music. Completely rude.
You're an angel ,Jamesetta. Like you said "that bitch can't sing my song" ☺. Now I love Beyonce,but did you see her on the court when she waves her head left-right-left-right? That is some bad shit going on inside. THAT'S WHY ETTA IS LIKE LITTLE (and I do mean BIG) golden star you wanna put on your Christmas tree. And simply keep it there all year!
beyonce won shit not oiscar. she complained she couldn't growl in the movies. well, Bey, if you had enough soul you'd not be needing growls. I think it was a bad decision to have bey doing her. If christina would be black, that'd be the first and only choice
Etta was telling it like it is. Y'all think its cool to have someone be you in a movie without speak with you? No one would like that beyonce cant sing like Etta
I think everybody has their own opinion when it comes to which voice they like more and sometimes it isnt about how good the voice is technically. It is just about what sound better peronally! I think Beyoncé is better than Etta James, from the voice to the vocals. And in MY opinion Etta was pretty shady here. Yeah, they all shouldt have talked to her, but still not everybody gets a movie of their lives. And i am sure they all knew what to do. I mean the movie was really good. But i am still a huge fan of Etta James and her music. I think her voice is amazing!
Etta was good Beyonce is great and she was a power house and I liked her music but I prefer Beyonce voice and looks and to be honest she is the whole package I just thought it was tacky of her to say such harsh words when they hand pick the greatest living entertainer of our generation to play her it's not just some random girl she should have been honerd and not jaded!
did she start that shit after a jesus christ comercial for anybody else? then they werelike christ shes like yeah well isnt that great yeah im like 70 yrs old! i like just really even seen and listened to her tonight. good for you etta james.
I love me some Etta and always will. I also agree with Etta that Beyonce is not as good as Etta was in her prime. Put both ladies at the same age and Etta would vocally kill Beyonce.
why didn't they use etta james real voice in cadillac records? It's weird can't imagine Jennifer Hudson using her own vocals instead of Aretha franklin or Jennifer Lopez using her own voice instead of Selenas
She was very elderly, maybe she had early dementia at that time, hence her saying somewhat outrageous things that she probably wouldn’t have said in her youth
bro why she sound like my grandma throwing shade😂😂
Fredericka Shanks cause she is a Savage
@B K yo that's one of queens of soul. Show some respect.
She’s mean that’s for sure. Old heifer 😆
Cause she was a grandma throwing shade lol

"Thank you for living all these years"💀💀💀💀
And people called Aretha Franklin shady. No Etta was blunt baby😂😂😂😂😂😂
Etta James is REAL! They did a movie about her life without consulting/talking to her?!
M.A. Arch something tells me she would had been very hard to work with. I think she died shortly after this.
April West I agree. Died shortly after tho? Hmmm, she looked so well. M.A. Arch, people don’t consult those they are not willing and wanting to pay. The hate is misplaced tho.

Died 3+ years after. The movie was released in December ‘08 but she didn’t die until February ‘12.
She was a trip... she said she doesn’t sing as good as me wow. Not a bit of humbleness in her...smh.
@@vibe2248 well it is fucking true! Beyonce couldn't sing as good as Ms. Etta James. What the fuck does being humble have to do with this!?

Etta deserves her own biopic called Miss Peaches, the Etta James story.
Awesome short interview of R&B Queen Etta James!

Jacob Patrick Poulsen You have a valid point , but... the president wantrd Beyonce not Etta. James.
Jacob Patrick Poulsen that song was written and recorded originally 20 years before Etta James sang it.
It’s a biopic,. It’s dramatized for the screen lmao obviously won’t be 100% accurate but that’s Hollywood!
It’s not her song
i love b, and i'am a part of the beyhive, but man u are totally right
A true legend.. A real diva...
Wow! She's so shady
I think Etta James is real & down to earth...love her!
In 08 she been killing the game for 52 year she's not shady just confident
Shady like Beyonce. we love Beyonce but she's shady too
wiltu dardcard barely
She’s not being shady
She’s being honest on the way she feels
Her life and her story and those songs are REAL EMOTIONS
Beyoncé had a right to ask
She was absolutely right and I cringed for her knowing Beyonce didn't even consult her about her own life. Wondering what she'll say when it happens to her in the future.
She didn’t want to be contacted.
@@TronTheTramp if it's like that, why even make the movie?
Her voice was much deeper than I thought. The old age recordings quality didn’t do her voice justice.If it was recorded in high quality studio today i think it would show off the power in her voice better.
She was 70 here. Her voice wasn’t as deep when she recorded tho songs, not even close.
Well hell her voice was deep back then too lol especially her speaking voice. I don’t see much difference
She was so real and DTE! Sound like she'll fight in a minute too! Lol
she'd whip a bitch in a heart beat. etta james did not mess around
lmfao, etta; she sings goid, but not as good as me. damn I wish she were still living.
RIP to One of the Greats!!!!!!!
Etta is a true legend
Etta baby! Rip to you. But Beyoncé sung the hell out of your songs, & did them justice be greatful

All machine and no quality. But yes, on top nevertheless lol.
That dumbass comment didn't age well because her and Jay z are in trouble the diddler got them boxed in
