Etta James didn't sing only blues, so no, it would not necessarily be blues if she sang it.

You are concerning yourself too much with lyrical content. If Etta had sung it, it would have been played in a Bluesy manner.
'Hurt' by NIN is 'blues', as far as you're argument is concerned.

It really depends on your definition of the blues, doesn't it? If you got a musical slide rule in your pocket then maybe Joplin wasn't singing the Blues. On the other hand, if the Blues has something to do with a sensibility.... the conveyance of existential angst ....then maybe she was singing the blues. Kurt Cobain's unplugged performance of that Leadbelly song (My Girl My Girl Where have You Been) is one of the most riviting Blues performances I ever heard.

EMO sings about a bunch of "angst." Does that make EMO blues?
By the way, the song is In the Pines, and on the Unplugged Nirvana album it's listed as "Where Did You Sleep Last Night."

Regarding EMO..I don't know. I never heard 'em. What do you think? WERE THEY SINGING THE BLUES?...and what I mean by that is not chord progressions...not what the current "experts " have to say...not what the catalogue casanovas decree...., not the pencil-pushing clydes....what I mean by that is HOW DID IT FRIGGING TOUCH YOUR FRIGGING SOUL?

I meant emo, THE GENRE.  And how exactly did my precision on the Nirvana bit prove your point?
