Etta James Got Jokes…

Ole’ Biddy James says her Beyonce comments were jokes but I know damn well she’d kill to get her hands on Bey’s lacefront.

Singer Etta James says she was just joking when she told a Seattle concert crowd she “can’t stand” Beyoncé and poked fun of President Obama. James tells New York’s Daily News, “I didn’t really mean anything. Even as a little child, I’ve always had that comedian kind of attitude. …That’s probably what went into it.”

She added that the crowd liked it, so she kept on rolling. “Nobody was getting mad at me in Seattle. They were all laughing, and it was funny.” She said the jokes were “not from a vicious place.”

But James did admit she was miffed about not being invited to perform her signature song for Obama’s first dance with his wife on inauguration night. James was “feeling left out of something that was basically mine, that I had done every time you look around,” she said. And while she said she liked Beyoncé’s performance, when asked if she thought she could have done better, James answered, “I think so. That’s a shame to say that.

Without further ado….. Etta James
