This will be the song sang at the Inauguration for the first dance
for our New President and our New First Lady.

It's "hawt" and meaningful!

Personally, I love the selection!

1. I like Beyonce but NO ONE sings that like Etta

However, the song rocks and is a good choice :D

2. You're right. I read Etta James' AutoBiography a few years back.....

Watta Life!

Here is another video of Bionce paying tribute to Etta James
singing the same song! Bionce's dress is to "die for" in this one!

3. Oh my! I played Etta's version to death but Beyonce brings a whole

new meaning to it. She's absolutely gorgeous with a voice I could listen to for days non-stop. I hope Barack does some "moves" step-wise with this one. Fabulous selection. Thanks so much for posting Frenchie..

4. He and Michelle are gonna be slow dancing and "rollin'"........

ooh! :blush:

If anyone ever saw Cooley High, than you know what I'm talking about!

5. Thanks...

A pretty good performance. Beyonce is hit or miss for me. It seems fashionable for the current day artists to perform all these various 'runs' with their voices.

This Beyonce performance was a hit for me.

I think I'll go listen to the original now too. Thanks for posting...

9. Great song! Can't wait to see that dance

I'm not a big fan of Beyonce though. I would have LOVED to hear Queen Latifa sing it. She's done some wonderful covers of old songs.

There's a movie where she (Queen) plays a blues/jazz club singer. also with Danny Devito and Holly Hunger. Great movie just for her singing.

10. Very nice!

Etta's is THE best, IMHO, but I have to say, Beyonce did a fabulous job with the song.

Thanks, FrenchieCat!
