Christina has cited Etta as her biggest inspiration since she came onto the scene 13 years ago, got her record deal by singing 'At Last,' and there are even videos of her singing 'Sunday Kind of Love' at the ripe old age of 6 (and 8 on Star Search). She was the biggest Etta fan around, has covered 'At Last' since her career began and most recently covered several of her songs on the Burlessque soundtrack. Not only that, she did a photoshoot and interview with Etta where they sang together and Etta said Xtina was her favorite vocalist and did her favorite cover of 'At Last.' She also said she has an old soul and they were cut from the same cloth. Etta openly disliked Beyonce, so I don't see why you would post Beyonce's response, when Etta loathed her. "I can't stand Beyonce." Obama and Beyonce disrespected her and she wasn't having it. Also, Etta defied genre, just as Chrisitna has defied genre.
