Beyonce Shoves It Down Etta's Throat

Posted Feb 23rd 2009 12:32PM by TMZ Staff

With just two little words, Beyonce re-ignited the world's biggest cat fight at the Oscars last night -- belting out the same song Etta James threatened to "whip Beyonce's ass" over just a few weeks ago.

Completely ignoring the verbal attack and physical threats Etta unleashed when B sang "At Last" at Obama's Inauguration, Knowles busted out the song AGAIN during last night's Oscar telecast -- as the most dramatic moment of an absolutely horrendous musical number.

B had to know it'd make James pissed, so we gotta ask ...

17. I'm sure that Beyonce didn't "diss" her on purpose. There was a song-writer who came up with that piece, not her. and i know that for a fact because they gave him credit after the performance was over. and i didn't think it was "horrendous" as you say, i thought the mix of songs was kind of interesting.

24. Great song.....but the drama surrounding it right now is stupid.

Etta is a legend and Beyonce can only hope to be.

And, just for the record, that black & gold dress Beyonce was wearing?
T-A-C-K-Y and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too tight.....
