I'm not even a Beyonce fan, but you gotta give this woman her roses for how well she portrayed Etta James in "Cadillac Records", and just for the way she absolutely murders the performance in this scene. This was such a cool story with an all-star cast, but this flick didn't get NEARLY the recognition that it deserved. Leonard Chess all but introduced the world to the blues back in the late 40's when he started pressing LP's for Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry, Howlin' Wolf, etc. and he gave a Cadillac to every artist who signed with him. Dude was a 1st generation polish immigrant with a business model that was lightyears ahead of it's time.
I don't care for her either, but she put her foot in this performance, usually some other female singer is upstaging her though. I guess she didn't have to worry about that in this movie lol but they would have to had hit gawd level to outperform her in this movie though.
She was so bad playing Etta that even Etta got angry about the casting. At that point Aretha kindly explained to B that she absolutely will not play her.
I think she's gorgeous but I don't like that hair style in any woman and she's the kind of woman that whatever hair style or clothes looks great on her, like Marilyn Monroe dressed with a sack 😂 I just don't like that hair cut.
RIP Leonard Chess (March 12, 1917 - October 16, 1969), aged 52 And RIP Etta James (January 25, 1938 - January 20, 2012), aged 73 You both will be remembered as legends.
Many years ago I was flipping through channels on the giant satellite dish and landed here a few minutes before this scene. I had no idea who or what I was watching, but damn that sure stopped my day for a while.
Falling in love is a beautiful thing. Trying to stay in love is very challenging, falling out of love hurts, because you know deep in your heart you'll always love that person.
What a emotion scene, so much love coming from her soul. I'm ordering the movie today. It's made two watch over and over again. I"ve listened to several others sing this song, but Beyonce is just amazing. The tears and expressions and beautiful face, just explodes for all of us to see. A Classic Scene. Thanks to All
I don't know why B didn't win a OSCAR for her role in Cadillac Records. Especially when she did this song. Man she Killed it! Song better than the Original with no disrespect.
DWMJr ...You don't know anything about Etta James. As for Beyonce Knowles winning an Oscar? That will never, ever happen, PERIOD!!! The original "All I Could Do Was Cry" was a hit for the late, great Etta James. Beyonce Knowles can't belt a song like Etta James, and it's documented.
Y'all are crazy if you think Beyonce can sing like Etta she's good and lawd knows bey tries so hard with her runs and all that but she jus can't match ettas range neverrrr
One Of The Most Saddest's, Turthful Scene's That Leonard Chess Could Never Let Go Of His Own Chess Recording Studio, He Didn't Deserved To Die In One Block From A Broken 💔Heart Attack. All We Do Was Cry And Pray For Leonard Chess In This Scene. But Cadillac Records Will Live On For Chess Recording Studio With Love For Him 😢🕯
She definitely not only nailed it but way beyond, I rarely cry, but this one baby, really made me think 9 times before i walk away from those who loves us this much.. 👏👏👏❣️
This is the ONLY song I’ve ever heard that I really can’t listen to without the visuals. It just hits different when I actually WATCH her sing it to him
After watching this scene, just had to find the DVD of Cadillac Records. Found it today at the record store in Campbell CA. Rasputin music one new blue ray only $3.95. Awesome Thank you RUclips.
Today was the first time I listened to Beyonce sing this song, Etta I listened bout 2 weeks ago for the first time! Both of them I quit listening after 30 seconds! Beth Hart, Live IN Amsterdam I listen to All Day Long every day! I still Cry each time I hear it!!!
This exactly how i felt when my love left. When u truly love someone it really hurts to see them leave. I guess i see why she rather go blind. Love this song❤
Something told me it was over When I saw you and her talkin' Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl' When I saw you and that girl walkin' around Whoo, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy Then to see you walk away from me, child, no Whoo, so you see, I love you so much That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no Whoo, whoo, I was just, I was just, I was just Sittin here thinkin', of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah Whoo and baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah Whoo, baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind...
She loved him but he was a married man and as painful as it was for her she had to let him go, because it's what's best for her and him An him leaving behind a legacy killed him sadly

You know When You are the Best on Top. People deny, you. Because they can't Match your Talent.!!!
She was so bad playing Etta that even Etta got angry about the casting. At that point Aretha kindly explained to B that she absolutely will not play her.
Yes, I agree she deserves an Oscar for her performance. Ms. B #1
She was a decent depiction of Ns. James, but she can't sing. She should have been lipsinging that phenomenal lady's beautiful song..
@@sandraatkins2539i see we have a hater it’s okay that you can’t sing no need to try and put everyone down cause u have no talent whatsoever
@@sandraatkins2539it’s safe to say Beyoncé can definitely sing 😂😂😂
She did an absolutely Phenomenal job singing this song. An a great job with the Etta James role
I never knew that a single scene could express so much. Truly amazing.
Is he for sale
Amen
This was my wives favorite song
I cry like a baby when I hear it
50 years wasn't enough
😢😢😢😢😢😢
I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you have peace in knowing you will see her again and that she is always with you.
So sorry for your loss 😢
❤❤
Hugs and kisses
She ate it all... No crumbs, no cookie dust... Chewed the napkins and even swallowed them too ❤
wow ha ha
Now that made me LOL! 🤭🤭 BUT NO LIES WERE DETECTED!!! 🐝🐝🤍🤍
NONE!!! Okay ❤

She did not
@@tiffanywilliams9545 true that!!!!.
EXACTLY!
just in love with her hair style and outfit she's truly beautiful
I think she's gorgeous but I don't like that hair style in any woman and she's the kind of woman that whatever hair style or clothes looks great on her, like Marilyn Monroe dressed with a sack 😂

@@reginaldwalker6027si la sua bravura è indiscutibile la dolcezza e l aggressività fi Etta James è insuperabile ❤❤❤
Love the old school music and always will ,this was and still is real music
A lot of the generation gonna miss out on this. Music has a lot pain and heart . Thank you miss Etta James.
One of my favorite movies and B should have won an Oscar or something for her role
You can tell B gave this scene/song her all. The way she sings,cries and expresses the emotions at the same time. Makes me cry all the time 😢❤
Love beyonce and this was one of my favorite movies of her ofc her singing is out this world

I love this one, but my favorite is Listen (from the movie Dream Girls).
How can you have so much power in a voice

I don't know why B didn't win a OSCAR for her role in Cadillac Records. Especially when she did this song. Man she Killed it! Song better than the Original with no disrespect.
I said the same thing it was better then the original and she should of won a Grammy
Etta really sang, this chick is all autotune, you don't know a thing.

Beth Hart, Live IN Amsterdam I listen to All Day Long every day!

Thank movieclps in 2024💕
This exactly how i felt when my love left. When u truly love someone it really hurts to see them leave. I guess i see why she rather go blind. Love this song❤
She murdered this
Bey, I'm praying u never lose ur God Giving talent. I believe you truly know the Spirit. Don't go blind..!
What a wonderful voice
To see Beyonce tears like that made me tear up. You can feel her heart in that performance.
Best song she has sang
Absolutely love this movie,have watched it several times
She is a natural woman. Beautiful song
This is not All I Could Do Was Cry it is I would Rather Go Blind.
Should be called " I'd rather go blind" scene or "heart attack" scene...
I literally laughed out loud..😅😅😅
This is true love 💕
Hell of a good movie hell of a heavy movie. 😢❤
Something told me it was over
When I saw you and her talkin'
Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl'
When I saw you and that girl walkin' around
Whoo, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy
Then to see you walk away from me, child, no
Whoo, so you see, I love you so much
That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby
Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no
Whoo, whoo, I was just, I was just, I was just
Sittin here thinkin', of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah
When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby
Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah
Whoo and baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy
Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah
Whoo, baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind...
I really think she sings this song better than Etta James and I love me at a James
No
Simply shows that song that comes from da heart is just another level💯💯👏
She loved him but he was a married man and as painful as it was for her she had to let him go, because it's what's best for her and him
An him leaving behind a legacy killed him sadly
