Etta James licks a shot

At Beyonce:

While many people thought it was a fitting touch for President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama to have their first inaugural dance to At Last, Etta James is not pleased with Beyonce's rendition.

During a concert in Seattle, James, 71, told the audience, "You know, your President, the one with the big ears - he ain't my President - had that woman singing for him at his Inauguration. She's going to get her ass whooped."

The songstress went on to say, "How dare Beyonce sing my song that I been singing forever. Now I'm going to sing it for y'all."

I guess this could be a hoax. I'm really hoping so. Here's the audio. Definitely sounds like her. The thing that makes me suspicious is she never actually sings on the audio. Anyway, it's being widely reported. I'm not quite sure why Beyonce attracts so much hate.

Peace to Black Snob for the math.

UPDATE: Closing comments for a bit. Lotta anger in the air. Will reopen later.

UPDATE#2: Back open. Nothing to the face, folks.
