Yesterday was truly surreal. I watched it ALL DAY LONG. Could not get enough of our new President and First Lady. I thought Michelle looked AMAZING both in her day/swearing in outfit and in her inaugural ball gown. Simply stunning. And the first dance was just beautiful. They are so in love and for them to conclude this long journey with “At Last” was very fitting. That moment brought me to tears. And no, it wasn’t a Beyonce momemt. As much as I love Bey, NOTHING could have taken the shine off the first couple last night. They were radiant.

rihanna is on tour with chris around europe guys… ,meet and greet last week wed 14 th woop woop

You’re right. I remember them saying she was going to attend the “official after party” on CNN. I saw pick of her at the RIAA Ball and she looked noce, though people said she dressed inappropriate.

I say for 2009 you all stop with this hate/love for Beyonce.

Whatever she does or didn’t do just get over it already. She’s a perfomer. She’s not God. Cut it out already.

Why do you care whether she’s singing the first dance, or not singing the inaguration song or whatever. It’s really none of your business.

All of you who thinks she walks on water and the one’s who are constantly putting her down: GET A LIFE!

every looked and sounded great…Alicia did just fine & looked Amazing…Beyonce did good as well…

@ KMNILES

I didn’t like the dress, but her event was at a club….so….hey

80

So are we supposed to show indifference? That wouldn’t be any fun, lol. Besides…since you’re present and reading all this love/hate for Beyonce that means you’re here often, so DO YOU HAVE A LIFE?

I’m just saying…do you and be happy and satisfied.

qick qyuestion guys.im from the UK i was tuned on all day yday from the swearing in to the parade to the ball.everything.but ovbviously because of tv rights.we were only aloowed to catch the first few minutes of the dance.then it was cut short. did you guys see it full?? and if so is there anywhere online i can catch the performances and Mr president and first lady’s dance

i thought they picked the perfect person to dance too last night. it was a beautiful moment. but yet the haters never fail to make this about bee. im a bee stan and i wasnt even gonna make this about her. the haters fail to realize they keep her relevant. she did good last night but ppl always have somethen to say about her. if it isnt her dress, then its her begging to perform, or her not respecting etta. ppl get over your jealousy and hate and give props where they are due

LOVE’D BEYONCE AND MARIAH.

Please leave your hate in 2008. The focus is supposed to be on Barack and Michelle. They asked Beyonce to perform and she did a great job! 2009 is supposed to be a year for change. So why don’t you stop hating and channel your negative energy into something positive..like volunteering.

Anyway yesterday’s events were amazing and history was made

i was tuned in all day yesterday from the swearing in to the parade - the ball - everything!!!

truely inspirational.

but because of tv rights we could only catch the first few moments of the dance, did you guys see it full? i guess so, and if anybody does know. would i be able to see the performances and dance online? thanks xx

President Obama genuinely loves that woman and his family…you can see it in their interactions. He is always holding her hand and they always have something to exchange between one another. I hear some people say they are faking and all that other nonsense, well if they are they are some damn good actors.

There were so many people from different backgrounds, music genres and whatnot there on their behalf, and I’m sure the Obamas had something to do with that….I thought that was so wonderful.

@ UK

Have you checked YouTube? I’m sure it’s on there, or try Toya’s World, she has it

ITS NOT ABOUT BEYONCE SWEETIES, ITS ABOUT THE NEW PRESIDENT AND OUR FIRST LADY! GIVE BEYONCE A BREAK YA’LL! QUIT THINKING ABOUT THAT WOMAN SO MUCH SHE NOT WORRYING ABOUT YALL COME ON NA’! BUTANYWAY, MY GURL MARY J KILLED ALL OF THEM WITH THAT DRESS SHE HAD ON, GO MARY THAT DRESS DID IT!!!!!!!!

WTH are ya’ll talking about Beyonce for? The only people taking attention away from the Obamas are the same people complaining about Beyonce taking attention away from the Obamas.

Seriously, no reason to ruin a beautiful occasion by complaining about the person singing.

It was a beautiful, inspiring historical event all about unity and possibilities. There is no reason to make a fuss about petty sh*t.

Anyways, I thought it was beautiful. The unity and heart on display that day was amazing. I do fear that people will turn on him though. I’ not looking forward to that day, and I honestly hope it doesn’t happen, but people are people.

You people kill me.So now its something wrong with saying Beyonce did a good job??? WTH?? Anyway, she did a GREAT job. The OBAMA’s looked PERFECT.

I love the whole ball except for…Jay-z. Whackest performance of the night. Didn’t think he should have done that song (didn’t eve know the song). He should have do “Show Me What You Got” that would have been more appropriate for me.

Mr. President and First Lady Obama looks so beautiful together. I love that they are the new poster couple for black love. He truly loves his wife. I want a husband like he someday. Did you see the way he was dancing OoOo la la. He is so SEXY.

Beyonce killed it! Love her, love her, love her. So sick of people acting like she ain’t shit. No one right now can hold a flippin’ candle to Beyonce. No one else could sing that song like she did. Rihanna…no….Keyshia…no….Alicia (might have)….but no! Beyonce is the best. You go BEE!!!

Mariah….wow…..girl I don’t know what to say. That wasn’t a good job at all. I mean I could tell it was Mariah but if I had closed my eyes I couldn’t, My mom says she’s pregnant and she most have not have been feeling well that night. I say she’s older and just had a bad preformance.

Over all it was wonderful OoO and Stevie Wonder was good too. Will. I. Am was good too. Loved it all. (sorry so long)

@ Kelvin

It’s always the ones that show so much disdain for Bey, that constantly bring her up. I don’t get it. Let that ish go in, 09. PLEASE DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT!

thanks for the heads up Lola, i’ll try Toya’s world x

Come on people! Give Puffy, Jayz, Beyonce and Solange a break. They have had a pretty rough year. Especially Beyonce and Solange. They both just came off of major flops. The Obama’s are know for helping people out. Besides, Jayz, Beyonce and Puffy helped campaign. Solange, she just does what she always does; ride her sister’s fame. I’m sure Matthew tried like hell to get them to let her perform too. So lay off, there are some perks to being Beyonce’s sister. So much for not wanting to be tied to them.

91

I see your point. It was all about Mary, lol.

At least Beyonce was all covered up. Give her credit people.

Now seriously, somebody need to be honest with Stevie Wonder with his uneven hairline at the center of his head. Why they let him go out looking like that.
Thr inauguration is something to remember.

LOVED MARIAH’S HAIR, DRESS AND SONG, SO APPROPRIATE. MARIAH IS GROWIN ON ME AGAIN

Mariah VOCALS was very POOR on “HERO” whoever states differently is CLEARLY in DENIAL.

What is it Beyawnce is suppose to do for our nation other than annoy the hell out of us by every where we turn ther she is!! I’m sorry but everybody ain’t jumping up and down over her, she is a average singer she appears only to be on hand if it means money, fortune and fame! As Martin Luther King said it is not about how many awards and wealth you achieve in life it is how you serve that will equate to greatness this man gave his life to serve and improve our lives which is why we have the rights we have today show me what Beyonce has contributed to better my life or My childrens lives and I will gladly hail her as a Hero until then I will praise whom I choose worthy!!!!

Wow.. beyonce did that.. she was amazing.. The Obamas, they are so glorious. i love them.. Perfect song, for the perfect couple, with the perfect songstress. wow.. perfect moment in history..

Still tearing up… I LOVE the love Barack and Michelle have! You can just see it!
Beyone did not over do the song like she normally does..she was great!

I heard that Beyonce was invited to attend the inauguration, the same with the ball.
I also heard she selected what song she wanted to sing. And there was more meaning to the song then the original meaning.

Anyways, Michelle and Obama are so freaking cute together. LOL! I was cooing over them the whole time they were dancing. I love to see black people in love, truely and genuinely. I’m proud of myself. At first, I wasn’t going to vote for him because of his name, so I sided with Hilary. Then, when it came down to it, I sat my butt down and listened to his speeches and studied his platform. This was my first time voting and I hope that the decision I made will help change our world, not just our country, for the better

Ok why is everyone trying to make this into a Beyonce thing! UNBELIEVABLE even when we get the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT people are still praising Beyonce more it’s so sad! I’m not hating at all, but for 1 yaw do realize she wasn’t the only celebrity there don’t yaw and for two it’s not about her it’s about the OBAMA’s so recognize THE REAL DEAL!!!!!!!! This is exactly the reason why people can’t even be in the same room with Beyonced because yaw always making into some stupid competition or making it seem like it’s about her! Hey even Beyonce knows it wasn’t her time!!!

am i the only person that think some aspect of the neighborhood ball was ghetto, come on now jay-z wtf!

Hey a lot of celebrities will be remembered for singing there that night!!!!

@ 96 get a life please, lol. It’s so funny when did we get so many Etta James fans in here? So just because Etta sung the song before Bee, they should have gone and hassled a 70 plus or 80 plus year old woman to come sing it herself?! And the reasoning behind this logic is because she is still alive? LMFAO

@107, please ain’t nobody praising Bee and NO last night was NOT about her. But some people make it seem like it is a crime to say that she did good! Talk about all the other performers but don’t dare mention Bee. Pathetic

Let me make this clear I praise God and God only! I thinK Obama, Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman and people like them are heroes so someone tell me why are people on here arguing over Beyonce acting like little kids like she is the President or like she changed the world I mean she’s a good entertainer, but that’s all so when this becomes a music post then yaw can talk about her, but for now it’s about the OBAMA’s so please stop!!!!!

@ 111 Yeah well sweetie as much as I would love to argue with you and say hey you’re right I’m not going to you’re not even seeing the point and as far as the other performers I don’t even see them being mentioned as much as her! WTH do they even have to do with what I said I don’t care if people liked her performance or not, but encase you haven’t noticed there are people on here arguing over her who didn’t even mention the OBAMA’s so stfu!!!!!! Peace!!!!

loved the dance. it was so beautiful. I also loved that they are always so real, and true to themself.

Damn the Beyonce stans are so sensitive just because there are people on here who recognize it’s about the Obama’s and not about Beyonce, Mary, A.Keys, or the other performers and now all of a sudden they’re haters and all that other crap! GTFOOH!!!!!!! I mean yes she did an amazing job and so did the others, but it’s not a crime to say that it wasn’t about her because it wasn’t!!!!!!!

Chayna, what did I say in my previous post. Only the uneducated will focus on Beyonce……

Love at it best. Get it Barack and Michelle. Queen Bee keep doing u, bump da haters. /-)

@116 You’re right I said what I needed to say I’ll let GOD take care of them!!!!

Can somebody please inform me how there can be a debate over Beyonce please because I don’t see any videos posted anywhere are see new music posted they all did amazing, but shouldn’t people be atleast debating over the actual President. Maybe I missed something… crickets!!!!! I’m serious too!!!!!!

IM ALSO A BLOGGER, SUP BRAINNNN LOL BUT EVERYONE LOVED THIS PART.. BEYONCE CLEARLY IN TEARS NAILED THE EVENT…

The whole day was overwhelming for me. Stil is today when I think back on it. I did not like Beyonce version of At Last never did, she seemed kind of fake about it to me. Why in the hell did they tear up Stevie’s song, I wanted it to be over with way before they ended that mess.

@108 yeah yeah you know the salty white folks thats still pissed he’s their President thats the first thing they pointed out….they said for them to be so “classy” he turned the celebration into a “ghetto Fab” affair Jay Z rapping, Beyonce singing, Diddy , Mary J, Nick Cannon DJing ect. .. … of course they didn’t mention the other hundred thousands that were there like Oprah and Stedman or Denzel Washington, or Medgar Evans’ widow, Dr. Kings grandchildren the list can go forever ……..but I knew that that was gonna be said one way or the other!

It was a great day. The Obamas are a model of what black love should be. I do however, find it ignorant that Etta James was not asked to sing her own song. And the media whore was so pressed for the spotlight that homeboy had to come and escort her offstage.

It’s not about Beyonce versus the Obamas…DAMN. All people said was Beyonce did a great job. There will never be a debate over the Obamas because we all agree (beyonce stans and haters alike) that The Obama’s RULE. I jus don’t understand how someone could watch an event like this and the first thing they say is beyonce over sang, or beyonce was trying to steal the spotlight….its like we were watching to different events.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Beyonce, but my focus was on the Obama’s. Afterwards I looked back and realized that Beyonce did an amazing job.

NOW THAT’S HOW A MAN IS SUPPOSE TO LOOK @ HIS WOMAN!!!! MEN PLEASE TAKE NOTE!!!! IF YOUR SWAG IS NOT UP THERE WITH BARACK THEN YOU NEED TO TAKE HIS CLASS! I wanted them together and it RENEWS my faith that MEN can LOVE their women the right way!!! They are a great EXAMPLE of LOVE!!!

Everyone who is getting mad at Bee saying that it was not her moment, it was the Obamas, should not blame her. Blame everyone on this post that keeps bringing up her name more than the Obamas. It is not her fault that she is talked about so much. Also if she was asked to perform the song by the family, why wouldn’t she take the honor and opportunity? So she should have turned it down and said “no i’m going to let someone else do it because people on blogsites think I do too much. Or no, Etta is still alive so I’m going to let her sing it?” It’s a huge moment and honor and anyone who had the priveledge to be apart of it I am sure would not have turned it down. Beyonce does not have the godly power to make her name come off the tongues of everyone, unfortunately her success and drive forces that to happen (apparently). Should she apologize? Let’s just knock it all off. What a beautiful moment last night, for the country, for the Obamas, for Beyonce, and for everyone else who was apart of it and got to experience it. So what.

The ceremony couldn’t be hampered by the celebrities who were so obviously and blantantly attempting to get their shine by seating near the President. They were invited , they had to pay extra. But, if making themselves look important is a need they have to fulfill why hate. I’m not impressed because those celebtrities just made themselves look stupid as far as I’m concern and it’s obvious that their charitable deeds are meant to glorify themselves and not God or humanity. Even, Oprah had the decency and class to sit with the every day people. Denzel and Magic Johnson, Cusak, Hoffman, are they serious? Even Steven Spielberg? And if they listen to or read anything Obama has said, he makes a point to tell people that he doesn’t watch t.v. and he’s not impressed by superficial garbage. Our President is about being authentic. If you pay attention, Obama seems more relax around everyday people. I highly doubt Washington D.C. will turn into Hollywood 2.0 like it was under the Clinton Admin.

As far as Michelle and Obama, I am truly in love with this couple. lol. He has to be the most sexiest husband in the world. The way President Obama looks at his wife, whispers in her ear, constantly has to be near her, is just so awe. The cutiest moment of the day was when they were dancing at the Parade, love that. But the sexiest moment was at the Celebration that aired on ABC 7. That was so hot, when they began dancing and he was kissing her, looking into her eyes, and he really started to “enjoy being close to her”, she had to pull him away. That was hot. And where is this that he can’t dance, I don’t see that, but I do see a sophisticated man, that isn’t going to make himself look like an uncivilized man, grinding on his wife in front of the world, that would be tacky. And that little dance he does, well he’s playing around. I’m sure that when the Obamas are in private, he really dances with her. I loved and was moved by the honesty and real emotion when Kerry Washington and MJB cried as the Obamas were dancing. As a black woman , watching a black President dance with his black wife, had to be moving , especially for two black women in the entertainment industry.

The whole Beyonce thing , well she did an excellent job, I was focused on the Obamas. But, Jay Z made me upset, he could have atleast wrote a rap about them, and not talk about his girl.

LEAVE THE WORD ‘HATE’ IN 08′ ! Tired of that stupid use of this word. Want to find the person or persons who started using this word INCORRECTLY & grab them by the neck!!!!!!! Uggg!!! No one ‘hates’(correct definition) your beloved Beyonce!!!

Obviously yesterday was one that will never be forgotten. But when it comes to the “Beyonce Factor” I can see why everyone talks about her from time to time. I do indeed like Beyonce…I can’t deny her talent, energy and goal of being an icon someday, however I am definetley getting to the point some of these “haters” are at. I admire the talent but I’m starting to feel like she is a big enough star to not have to have the spotlight everywhere… I mean whether or not she sang At Last. she would still be beyonce… It just seems like she is a bit greedy and I think it is ashamed that no one sees her lime light as maybe, overdone. She is just turning into that person in class that is constantly kissing the teachers ass to pass out papers, or watch the class when they leave. Yes she is one of the most talented female vocalist for our generation, but that doesn’t mean that the “game” has to become just Beyonce… U will sell regardless, so why hogg the lime light from the artist who need the exposure?

Not a big fan of beyonce so i tried not to make the night about her, but enjoy the entertainers i do like and watch as the world’s most beautiful couple the new PRESIDENT AND HIS FIRST LADY. that is what last night was all about to me not bad singing b and her fam.

BEYONCE did a TERRIFIC job singing for the Obamas’ first dance as POTUS and TFL.

People are just mad that Beyonce actually DID perform AMAZINGLY and for something OH SO SPECIAL that will be remembered years AND YEARS to come and RIHANNA was NO WHERE to be SEEN. Don’t be mad because you went full out and way out of your way to create a petition, the ‘dislikers’ FAIL yet AGAIN.

Mariah was a terrible mess. I still love her though.

@130..

I hope and pray that you’re joking. It is not Beyonce’s fault that she appeals to many people causing her to be exposed everywhere. Obama invited her to sing for them, she didn’t pay her way to the top. How can you say she’s hogging the lime light? Is it her fault all these other artists are just played out or just straight up unappealing? Beyonce has many fan, and a ginormous fan base, you may not want to see her every step you take but that is you darling. Your feelings don’t apply to everyone around you. Beyonce doesn’t run into blog posts and insist on everyone to talk about her when Obama gets elected, that is our decision. You can choose to reply, following along, or just ignore it. People want to talk about Beyonce whether it is out of love/hate or “I just don’t care”. If people are really tired of Beyonce like they claim they are, they would stop addressing her fans, stop entering her posts, AND HUST STOP TALKING ABOUT HER.

If they claim not to like her, why is it so hard to not mention her? I don’t get it, I really don’t.

This definitely aint about Bey. I did enjoy her singing but my focus is on the President and First Lady. Talk to the hand…lol

Lmao. I dont believe at all that the obama’s would ask beyonce to perform the song for the first dance. If you believe it then u r MADD CRAZY. I am way young and i have more class than to pick Beyonce to sing at such an important event.

bey know she needed to put a bra on with that dress… and when did she get all them titties lol … that hair sucked but she sounded good for the most part lolol …. michelle dress was ugly to me… barack was so handsome lolol IMO

Beyonce asked to be there…..the Obamas didn’t ask her

Words can’t describe how beautiful this all is, from Obama beating Hilliary and winning the Democratic nomination to his swearing in. It is all truly overwhelming in the most amazing way. I know that President Obama will lead the nation like no other American President has ever, while upholding a positive perception of African Americans. I’m truly blessed to have witnessed this.

On the other hand, I KNEW that as soon as he won the nomination, Beyonce would somehow be involved. Someone mentioned earlier that the Obama’s asked her to perform, but I heard that she offered. Either way, we’re oversaturated with her and I was very dissapointed to see her up there. In reading the news today, I think I have read more about her singing the song of their first dance then the first dance itself. I don’t think she tried on purpose to make the moment about her, but that’s what happened. She sang well, yes. But it should not have been about her. And that interview only proved how volunerable and illiterate she is! Now we know why she does not do more candid interviews. I wish she would go retire or something. Lastly, someone should have told her not to wear such a formal dress (loooog train). Again, you don’t go to someone else’s ball, dressed as if its your own (JLo did it too.) UGH! Away with Beyonce.

The entire Inauguration Day was monumental and awe-inspiring! And the Obamas make a wonderful couple. Barack and Michelle Obama are clearly very much in love, and the obvious affection between them is real (not just a “put-on” for the cameras). This is what you call “Black Love at its finest.”

I love both of Michelle’s Inauguration Day dresses. Her ball gown is just beautiful. Alot of the intricate detailing on the dress didn’t show up over the TV cameras, but when you see photos of the dress up-close, you realize just how gorgeous it is! And Michelle Obama has the perfect stature and presence to carry of this type of gown.

Overall, an absolutely wonderful day (and evening), from start to finish!

When you see pictures of Michelle’s dress
It’s actually cute. When I was watching
it in video it didn’t look that good. It’s cute

Oh and Mariah lost her voice.
I think others can sing her classics better
than her now. That’s what you get when
you don’t live to your full potential.
She purposely stopped singing strong and
bold like she use to and stuck to singing
whispery. All in the process she lost the
ability to sing her powerful songs. Even
the whispery ones. Smh. If you don’t
use it you’ll LOSE it.

It was beautiful.

To be honest, for the people talking crap about Beyonce saying she was trying to steal their shine and blah blah blah. I just think YOU are the ones so focused on her that even something as beautiful as the dance between Obama and Michelle couldn’t take your mind off of her. Im not a huge Bey fan nor am I a hater but in NO WAY did she overshadow the pres and the first lady. The emotion and true love in their eyes when you saw their faces, if Beyonce overshadowed that for you then obviously your hate for her is TRULY extreme. I thought she did a good job and she seemed more real than I had ever seen her because you could really see the emotion on her face, didnt same fake at all. I think at last was an appropriate song. I know some people said thats a wedding song but considering AT LAST we have a black president, well I think that is why the song was picked.

Beyonce needed to put a dam bra on because nipples aren’t in vogue at such an occasion. Truly tastless!!

I also just want to add that maybe the reason why Etta didnt sing her own song was because isn’t she like 70 years old? I highly doubt she sounds the way she use to. I personally think Aretha buthered her song at the inaguaration. Once you get a certain age, your voice is not gonna be what it use to be. I dont care how good of a singer you were in your day. Beyonce like her or not, was the best choice to sing that. Even Mariah Carey doesn’t sound the way she use to.

I would like to read more about the actual dance than Beyonce’s performance. I also noticed that most artist sung their own songs except for Beyonce, I think the reason is Beyonce does not have any classics to sing or something that would have fit that occassion. Beyonce is being mentioned because this blog chose to also highlight Beyonce as if it was her night. I do think that she asked to be apart of the celebration, Obama’s committee chose Beyonce because he once talked about being a fan……Obama cant insult Beyonce by saying “I didnt choose her the committee did” so he went along with it. Beyonce made this event about her by requesting to perform during most of her interviews, if Obama really liked her or if they were friends then she would have gone straight to him and not the media to put the bug in their ears. Visual she is tiring us out! Beyonce rode the train into the city like Obama, Beyonce got her dress made for the event and it ended up looking a mess with her nipples hanging out, and she revealed the song she was singing for the dance after the committee wanted to keep it tight lipped….Attention go getter.

@144
I feel you on that, when you reach a certain age you voice changes especially if your not keeping it trained. On the other hand I feel like it was their moment, and if Etta would have sang it still would have been nice. I also get how others feel that maybe a more seasoned artist that went through the struggle should have performed, lets say Yolanda Adams, Gladys Knight, Patti, Anita Baker, Stephanie Mills could have sang HOME…..its already past but I wanted to see some old school up in there. I think many think that Beyonce was the best choice because the media makes it seem like she is the one black artist that we have. They could have even chosen Jill Scott, Angie Stone, Jennifer Hudson and so on. Most forget that their were artist before Beyonce, Beyonce is not the only artist who can sing.

BEYONCE SANG.. GET OVER IT.. ITS HISTORY.. ITS DONE.. BEYONCE SANG AND NOW ALL YOU CAN DO IS TALK AND HATE.. SHE SANG . HA HA HATERS.. SHE SNAG WHILE YOU WERE ON THE SIDELINE.

YALL SOUND SO STUPID..

People need to get a grip. This ball was a celebration of the youth who came together to get him elected. He could not have done it it if we hadn’t come out to vote, and this was their way of saying thanks. They went to something like 10 Inaugural balls last night. I’m sure they had one where the stuffy, old white people could enjoy themselves (not that they would).

Everyone looked and sounded great last night except Mariah..
