Today I learned of the most ridiculous feud. I could not believe that Etta James was in a tirade about Beyonce singing “her song.” First of all, Glen Miller wrote At Last in 1941. I don’t know who the song belongs to but it doesn’t belong to Etta James. This is not worth calling a feud because Beyonce doesn’t seem to be participating. A feud needs at least two participants.
What is the problem? If the White House asked Beyonce to participate in one of the most coveted events in America, was she supposed to say, “Oh no, please let Ms James sing the song.” Of course not. If I could sing and they asked me, I would have sung it too.
The only thing that this tirade has achieved is to show the ugliness of pettiness and jealousy. Ms James is too old for this foolishness.
Grow up Ms James, at last, grow up!
