Christina Aguilera - At Last [Etta James Funeral]

Christina Aguilera sings Etta James' signature song "At Last" Saturday at the funeral in Gardena, California.

Gardena, California (CNN) -- About 300 mourners remembered legendary singer Etta James on Saturday as an authentic voice whose velvety vocals bridged genres from blues to rock.

Another legendary singer, Stevie Wonder, gave a musical tribute to James at her funeral: He played the electronic keyboard and sang his "Shelter in the Rain." He then performed on the harmonica and sang The Lord's Prayer.

Also performing at the service was Christina Aguilera, who sang James' signature song "At Last" and ended her rendition to a standing audience with a farewell directed at James' casket: "May you rest in peace."

After the service, Aguilera told CNN that James was her idol.

"It was so emotional," Aguilera said. "I went through the lyrics last night, and I did rehearsal ... and it took on a whole new meaning having been invited by her close friends and family to sing that classic song at her service. And I started crying every time I started to sing it, and I thought, 'My gosh, what if that happens tomorrow? I just want to do justice to Etta James. She meant the whole world to me, and it was a huge honor to be here today."

Time To Fly Abroad

Hello everyone today is the 24th day of January in 2012, and as you know from my last post; i purchased my Passport, at the Passport Facility in Downtown Atlanta. My trip is not until March 30 2012 but i wanted to make sure i had everything in place; so that when it was time for vacation i would not be stressed. As i stated in the last post on G.N.B. i went directly to the facility, therefore i paid for an expedited service. So My Passport came today i will Add A Couple of Pictures so that the Authenticity will not be in question. Im Just So Surprised it came so fast. If your in the market to get a Passport and can wait 4-6 weeks then be my guest, for me i chose to pay $195 so it wasn't a big deal,

This might be the Best Spring Break Ever!

So whats so funny about it is that, they're certain steps you must take in order to proceed to the window where you fill out your info. so first lets talk about where the Passport facility is located. Now if your in a rush to get your Passport you can go to the Facility down town and go to the tenth floor to apply for it. which will add a extra $35 fee for their expedited services.

Steps in order to apply
