Etta to Beyonce: At Last the Time to Whoop Your A** Has Come Along!

So, in the rant heard round the world, or at least the gossip columns and Fox News, Etta James totally went off on Beyonce. The reason? I guess Etta didn't like Beyonce getting the spotlight for singing the song "At Last" at the Inauguaration Ball. Oh yeah, she talked smack about the President too.

I find it curious that she waited until last week at a concert to talk about just much she can't stand Beyonce. Has she been stewing since January 20th or did she just catch the Inauguration last week? Sounds like pent up rage to me. I can picture her pacing up and down the halls of her house. Muttering revenge to herself and yelling at her manager. Does she still have a manager? Also, is Obama not her President because she didn't vote for him or because Beyonce got to sing "At Last" and not her? This whole mess raises lots of questions for me.

I believe this matter can only be resolved by a song-off. Simon Cowell can be the judge. Beyonce can start with "To the left, to the left, all the songs you own in a box to the left. You must not know 'bout me. I could be another you in a minute. Matter fact, I'll make more money than you in a minute. Don't you ever get to thinkin you're irreplaceble."

Call me ladies! I'll get it all set up for you!
