Apparently, Etta James is alive. Big yay, because I thought she was dead, and I really love her song “At Last.”

So, Beyonce played Etta James in her movie “Cadillac Records” and performed Etta’s song “At Last” at Nobama’s inauguration.

An article from the Associated Press said:

The 71-year-old singer says in an audio clip that surfaced online Thursday that she would “whip” Beyonce for singing “her song” “At Last” at an inaugural ball for President Barack Obama.

“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.”

Spokespeople for James and Beyonce declined to comment.
