My thoughts on Etta James...
JANUARY 20, 2012, 6:59 pm
Etta James was a force to be reckoned with. A true gift to music and a woman of great spirit and courage.
Her raw tone and the passion she put forth on a record spoke to me at a very young age and has continued to influence and inspire me throughout my career. She will NEVER be forgotten, her voice will forever live on and she will inspire talent for generations to come.

I have some of Miss James songs, and I also thought she was one of the greatest ever.
Christina, I am sorry for your loss. I know how much you love Etta James. You have always sung At Last on live shows. I love hearing you sing that song. You sing it so soulfully and very well. Always belting out 'For You Are Mine'. Miss Etta James will be dearly missed by everyone who knew her brilliant soulful voice and I hope this will make you stronger as we cannot wait to see, from you, what is coming next. Love always, thoughts with you always, your biggest fan now and forever, Daniel xxx

R.I.P ETTA! I LOVE YOU CHRISTINA <3
@GeorginaAvilez thats a genious idea!!
I saw your introduction to the entertainment industry at the Four Seasons performance and since that day, you’re the only one I know that can interrupt Etta James’ spirit . . . I wish you’d record a tribute album to Etta with the Roots Band . . . You’d introduce Etta to a new generation just like you did with Burlesque.
I'm really displeased .. rest in peace Etta!
R.I.P Miss Etta James. Christina showed me your music and you inspired me. rest in peace . from Holland
LOVE U XTINA! R.I.P Etta
The voice of the one and only Ms Etta James will continue to live in the hearts of many. At Last may be her most recognised song to the mass public, but there are so many gems that when I hear my heart flutters in a way so few singers have ever had the ablilty to have such an impact on someones emotions through song. When she sings the line 'I would rather go blind...' you hear something that is so often missing from many of the 'singers' of the charts today. The desperation that she feels is echoed in her voice, it's magical to say the least! And who could forget the deliciously sexy 'Just wanna make love to you', the upbeat and charming 'Seven day fool' or the flawless 'Sunday Kind of Love'? My prayers are with Etta she's in a happier place now and I will forever treasure her as being a gift from God. I, since the tender age of 10, had wished desperately to see this woman live and it, honestly, hurts knowing I never will. RIP to the legend that is Etta James. I love Etta like I love Christina, who will carry on her passion and legacy, and will miss such a beautiful person dearly, the world has lost a prodigy and a legend. RIP Ms Etta James.

RIP Etta James
Don't put you sad Christina
Well said.
Etta was a vital link in that great line of female jazz, soul, and blues singers that began with 'Bessie and Billie'. After them, 'Etta and Ella' kept the tradition alive during that time in the late 1950's and early 60's when it was almost drowned out by the advent of rock n' roll. I like my rock music when I'm in the mood, but I rejoice that Etta helped keep that other great line alive. I also rejoice that a newer generation of gifted artists like yourself are building on this great legacy!
etta james will greatly missed by many
The best words
Christina Aguilera you we truly pay the best tribute to Etta James and that is so kind of you,you are both legendary queens!
Etta James will be greatly missed but always loved <3
Christina will continue etta's legacy
Tru, Msj. I would have probably taken me a lot longer to come to know Ms. Etta's music. Which I love. Have you all heard The Dreamer by her/.
