Beyonce does Etta, At Last.

Not as good as Etta, not bad though.

 

[bamber]

Truth is, there only ever was one Etta. Only ever will be the one.

All these covers, even Beyonce, even Jessie J, even Dua Lipa, great as they are, all fail, because they are not Etta James.

............... And...

New Adele!

 

[blutarsky]

Guess this thread is the best fit...

Found a great video of Suzanne Vega doing Tom's Diner acapella at the BBC, with a little monologue about it before hand.

 

[bamber]

The very strange thing is that Jessie J already released a track called "Easy on Me" a couple of years ago.

Did Adele:-

a. Just did not know this out of ignorance?

b. Knew but didn't care 'cos Jessie is no-where near as big, even now?

c. Did Know, but went there because she wanted to sock it Jessie J?

Answers on a Postcard.

For me, this is better song, delivered by a superior voice, any day.

And, Happy Christmas,

And, you have a very cold heart if you deny this.

Nonsense if the form of perfection and perfection in the form of nonsense.
