Bey is a wonderful performer but I just can't see her doing Ms. James. I could be wrong. She do look like Ms. James.Maybe that is why she was cast.Ann Brockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273380949544392923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045071721348918138.post-37042604356278302112008-01-27T15:00:00.000-06:002008-01-27T15:00:00.000-06:00Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone be...Off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone better than Beyonce' in the role of Etta James.

Also, I am not too sure about Jeffrey Wright being cast as Muddy Waters. Still like you said, it's cool that Etta James is getting some well-deserved recognition. "In the Basement" is one of those gems that doesn't get nearly enough airplay.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02065814455731328574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9045071721348918138.post-83295458204766742732008-01-26T20:03:00.000-06:002008-01-26T20:03:00.000-06:00Hi jjbrock,She is probably not the best choice, bu...Hi jjbrock,<BR/><BR/>She is probably not the best choice, but I was more interested in Ms. James getting the recognition that she deserves than who actually portrays her.
