sugar on the floor is one of my favorites of Ettas also,i too just redescovered etta a few years ago.she is undoubtedly one of the masters and she is timeless,rock on Etta,we love you baby!!!

I just think people need to give her(Bey) a chance. If they won't, then don't watch the movie. And as for singing, Beyonce lower register is very strong and her voice period has matured even from 2006. Will it be as good as Etta, probably not. But I don't think a professional actress could fully do it either. Unless, they dub Etta's voice. I just think people need to give her a chance, rather than saying what Bey can't do.

FemaleVocalLover1975 (December 31, 1969 at 4:59 pm)

I get what you are saying. I am a fan of both(Bey and Etta) and even Etta at first said that she had some tepidations. But I think part of the problem is how people percieve Beyoncé. I like what Stokley from Mint Condition said about her. That underneath the commericalism and image, is a real artist. I agree. And before Dorothy Dandridge was auditioning for Carmen Jones, the director didn't think she could do it because of her iamge but she blew his socks and we all know what happened later.

Everything that yall are saying about Beyonce is the same bullshit they said about Jamie Foxx. "Oh, he won't do that good", "They need to get a more experienced actor". Jamie had all of the haters looking like fools when the movie came out. As long as Etta likes it, your thoughts don't mean shit.

Larae718 (December 31, 1969 at 4:59 pm)

And that's why Beyonce HAS been working with Etta James. Beyonce's has the best teacher just like Jamie did.

All I can say is "There is a Lady..." I listened to Etta James now, what have I been missing... Miss Beyonce had better do her homework if she wants to do service to herself.
