Live Performance by Etta James:

Hard to compare today's artists and their success to artists of the past. If Beyonce was ugly she wouldn't have 1 single hit out there. Not even close.

Damn... that last vid was fuck'n awesome... and that Etta James version sucked IMO Quote:
Beyonce... well I'm not a fan of her either... she's like Britney Spears... not all that talented of a singer... but sells records because of her looks and pop appeal. |

Fuck both Etta and Beyonce. A white man using a puppet sings that song better than either of them.
Etta needs to stfu. She doesn't have any room to talk, IMO.

I love Beyonce. The way she sings and the way that she moves her body.
My daughter loves Single Ladies and Diva. She dances to it. James

You know sometimes people can say some stupid shit. Is it really anyone's contention that "popular appeal" wasn't a factor in the past. Are you saying that Elvis was an incredible song writer and entertainer and that his "gyrations" had nothing to do with his popularity? That at least some of the Beatles' popularity wasn't do to "marketing". Shirley Temple had dozens of albums and movies...oh yea,no other little girl could have managed those "inspired" performances! Fuck,I bet even Mozart had to thank looks and stage presence for at least some of his success. It always kills me when people act as if hype never had a place in the world until now.

What are Beyounce's biggest hits? I have no clue but every single one of them became big AFTER she made a music video. And with internet and TV channels decicated to nothing but celebrity gossip. Looking good is the only way to make it today.

And do you have facts to back up your statement that each song only went up the charts after the video was launched? If so do you have stats for someone who jumps to the top of the charts before hand? James
