First of all -- I'm excited about all the emails (and Facebook comments on my profile page) about me hosting the stars of the Chicago production of "Xanadu" today (Max von Essen and Elizabeth Stanley). ... Glad everyone is excited about seeing them and hearing about the show at the Drury Lane Water Tower Place.

Also -- there sure are a lot of opinions about Etta James being angry with Beyonce and President and Mrs. Obama -- about having Beyonce and not Etta sing "At Last" for that first inaugural dance.

I think Etta over-reacted and, in fact, I agree with several people who have emailed me -- or commented on Facebook -- that Beyonce's beautiful rendition of the song was a great tribute to Etta and the song!

Wonder what the rest of you think???
