Etta James and Jane Agree about Beyonce

Sasha Frere-Jones' extended wet kiss of Beyonce's behind aside, I've been telling anyone who will listen that Beyonce is the most supremely mediocre superstar we've got. Anyone with ears can hear that the woman can't sing her way out of a paper bag, at least not without serious mechanical assistance.

Note to Sasha Frere-Jones: Beyonce will never fuck you, so writing a review that makes her sound as if she is the second coming of Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, and Whitney Houston all rolled into one was really just a waste of your time. Aren't you embarrassed to have called this middling-talent pop star "brilliant" and a "genius?"

Apparently, Etta James agrees with me.
