Etta... One of the best vocal performances in history.

My opinion. My thread.

Proving you don't need 97 fucking notes per line like you're on American idol! Sing for the song goddamnit!
Not to show off!

Etta James - All I Could Do Was Cry

[KPN]

1. Etta!

Interesting story: I met a Native American a few years ago while working on a wildfire. He handled the supply cache for the incident. He had a portable CD player that he played music on constantly. And it was always playing Etta. He was crazy about her. Good taste!

2. Yeah, what's with this 97 fucking notes per line and up 'n' down trilling at the end of each phrase?

If ya gotta gum it up that bad, ya just ain't got it in the first place.

If the statement can't stand on it's own, you're not gonna "enhance" it by stretching it out into roadkill.

8. I know right?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I appreciate a trill. But it's gotta have a point! You've got to be drawing attention to a lyric or a musical point.

3. Etta James has always been my favorite female singer.

She had a beautiful, powerful voice and there was so much emotion in her songs.

Wish my wife could sing!

5. You saw "Cadillac Records"?

I've always loved Etta and her music.
It makes me too emotional however.

[Glamrock]

6. Oh yeah!

Great flick! Beyonce was amazing!

9. She sure was!
