Etta & B

Remember that silly little drama about Etta James threatening to whoop Beyonce's ars? Well, that was just ridiculous. I mean, how many of our aunties, mamas, big cousins have threatened the same and followed through. I didn't think it was a big deal, but it was giggle-worthy. Anywhoo. . .as ridiculous as it was, I'm about to drag it out.
Me and my mom were house cleaning (her house, not mine) last weekend and listening to youtube videos in between vacuum blasts when my mom said (and I concur) that if Etta James wanted to be mad at Beyonce for something, it shoulda been this right here. Now, I love me some Etta. Me and moms have been playing the "At Last" album on repeat since 2000 (thats when I got introduced and she got re-introduced). But "Baby, baby" I'd rather hear Beyonce's version of this one right here. . .
