Etta James says She was Just Kidding
Etta James, who recently made a lot of noise on the internet when audio footage leaked of her making comments about Beyonce and President Obama, has apologized in an exclusive interview with the NY Daily News, saying that she was just kidding. She went on to say the only reason she kept going is because the crowd kept laughing. She said she’s still hurt she wasn’t invited to perform at any of the Inauguration Balls though.
“I didn’t really mean anything,” James said. “Even as a little child, I’ve always had that comedian kind of attitude. … That’s probably what went into it.” Still, James acknowledged being miffed she wasn’t invited to perform her signature song for Obama’s first dance with his wife on inauguration night. James said she was “feeling left out of something that was basically mine, that I had done every time you look around.” She said she liked Beyoncé’s performance, but when asked if she thought she could have done better, James answered, “I think so. That’s a shame to say that.”
