Beyonce Mourns the Loss of "Eternally Great" Etta James

my neighbor mr jones is sad about etta's passing too and he is mourning in his own way. he told me he wants the world to know this and asked me to write this post so everyone knew how he felt.

At Last, She's Home!

CLEARLY: THE FACT THAT ETTA DIDN'T LIKE BEYONCE' DID THAT MAKE HER A HATER TOO? Just because a person doesn't like someone doesn't make them a hater, just becausse someone dislikes a person that you obviously DO like doesn't make them a hater for having a difference opinion from YOU. We all dislike people for various reasons, and I doubt Etta was jealous of Beyonce' which is what the term "Hater" implies.

Ms. James will be missed by many - celebs included.

How can Beyonce be in "Mourning" ???? --- I'm sure she is pre occupied with her child so stop making an article about it YAHOO !!!
PLUS Etta James didn't like Beyonce singing her song so why is B making ANY KIND of statement ???
BEYONCE: next time someone asks you for a statement SHUT YOUR FACE ..you never could give an intelligent interview and work on your dance routines bc all those seizure like dance moves u have are F%^n' OLD !!

every saturday i clean my house to her music...great soulful songs...touching...inspiring...powerful...u will be greatly missed Miss Etta...R.I.P

Etta James couldn't stand Beyonce and said so.

RIP may your music inspire others!

Here's the glaring omission. It was public knowledge for at least a year that Etta James's family struggled with the cost of her medical care and almost depleted her estate paying for it. Where was Beyonce (who spent millions on a private hospital suite for her newborn daughter), Adele, Rhianna, et al? These artists were too busy spending the money they made riding on Etta James's shoulders on frivolous nonsense to even think about a tribute concert which might raise money to help her in her time of greatest need.

Another thing - this story has quickly fallen off the main entertainment page. Etta James was a pioneer, but her personal history will forever relegate her to the last page. She was ripped off her whole life. She never asked to be rich, but she did want recognition - something which didn't really come until she died. And even then, not befitting an artist of her creative stature.

~~RIP Etta James~~

Beyonce, you could've have learned how to actually sing well from Etta James. Whenever you sing, it sounds like brakes screeching or fingernails scraping a chalkboard. You, Blue Ivy and Jay-Z should go away, far far away.

Why make it all about Beyonce? I'm pretty sure Etta's family is mourning her loss more than someone who played her in a movie.

Why is that spoiled fake pregnancy Beyonce even mentioned here the spoiled brat wont even let Etta be the star of her own death. Beyonce go back and watch your nannies change a diaper

Etta James passed, on of the greatest singers of our time. Why would ANYONE be interested in how Beyonce is dealing with it? I honestly don't care. Why is she in an article about Etta Jame's passing? And to everyone saying that Beyonce is "classy": Beyonce wouldn't know class if it hit her with a hammer. Etta James, she had class. RIP.

you know opinons are like #$%$everybody has one

have any of you been to etta concerts or bought her cds ? or just hating on bey this should be about ms james

Etta couldn't stand Beyonce, fact.

RIP. U WIL BE MISSED.

When her "Dreamgirl" costar loss her mother, brother and nephew to senseless violence, I did not see any statement of sadness or mourning for Jennifer Hudson. Beyonce please stop trying to stay press worthy-you are not, no one cares that you mourn the loss of Etta James, in fact I for one couldn't care less how you feel.

R.I.P., Miss Etta! Your music has brought me much joy! I love how youpoured your very soul into the music, thank you for sharing your gift with the world!
