Beyonce has been selected to sing for the Obama’s first Inaugural dance on this coming Tuesday according to reports released on yesterday:
WASHINGTON (AP) – Beyonce will sing for Barack and Michelle Obama’s first dance on inauguration night.
And the song? “Crazy in Love?” Her version of Etta James’ “At Last?”
The Presidential Inaugural Committee isn’t saying. “It is our hope that we can keep the song secret until the moment,” said spokeswoman Linda Douglass. SOURCE
The singer will be performing along with her husband Jay-Z, Will.i.am, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Shakira, Sting, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder and Maroon 5 at the Inaugural Neighborhood Ball that is scheduled to air live on ABC Tuesday night.
RIHANNA, USHER, & BOW WOW FOR DISNEY’S CONCERT
And speaking of big Inauguration concerts next week, Rihanna, Usher, and Bow Wow are few of many entertainers to perform at Disney’s “Kids’ Inaugural: We Are The Future,” concert. The concert, which will be hosted by Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden (wife of our Vice President elect Joe Biden), will also honor military families.
The event will take place next Monday and air live from Washington, DC on the Disney channel.
HAHAHA!!!!!!! GET IT BEE!!! EAT THAT MTO!!!
YIKES! Beyonce is killing these haters! I know they’re sitting behind their computer all hot and salty.
I am so proud of her! She’s proving to us all that no matter how many hate sites on her she’s still on her grind. Only the hottest chick can do that…
I guess B got her wish. I hope this post will not turn into an I told you so post. Can we all just keep the peace.
Aww how special is that!! Beyonce is very fortunate for such an honor.
Guess that petition didn’t work.. try again next time! lol
YAYYYYY BEYONCE , THIS IS SUCH A HUGE HONOR , THIS IS BIGGER THAN ANY THING , . . I KNOW SHE CAN’T BELIEVE IT HER SELF .

Can’t wait to hear what B is gonna sing. She’ll do well. Can’t wait for all the other performances as well.
GET IT BEE! LMFAO! Once God is for you who can be against you?!
I also can’t wait to see Mariah. Beyonce and Mariah are my two favorites and to see them both perform at such a historic event….it’s going to turn me speechless. I wonder what Mariah will sing?

TIANNA YOU NEED TO ADD THIS !!! :
The 2009 Inaugural celebration begins with a star-studded concert at the Lincoln Memorial on Sunday, January 18 at 2 p.m. The event will be free and open to the public, kicking off the most open and accessible Inauguration in history. It will be presented by HBO 7:00-9:00 p.m. ET/PT for Americans to enjoy across the country.
I am proud to announce that the combined choirs from USNA (Men’s Glee Club, Women’s Glee Club, and Gospel Choir) will be participating in the concert!
The choir will be performing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” with classical artist Renee Fleming and “America the Beautiful” in a combined grand finale with a 500-voice choir and Beyonce. The event will include an incredible lineup of celebrities. Additional performers include Mary J. Blige, Bono, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow, Josh Groban, Herbie Hancock, Heather Headley, John Legend, Jennifer Nettles, John Mellencamp, Usher Raymond IV, Shakira, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, will.i.am, and Stevie Wonder. Among those reading historical passages will be Jamie Foxx, Martin Luther King III, Queen Latifah and Denzel Washington.
The President Elect, his family, staff, and an expected 1+ million people will be in attendance!
This is an incredible opportunity for our choirs and highlights the high esteem in which our ensembles are held – on a national and international level!!!
Be sure to watch your shipmates Sunday night!”
Congrats Bee. On another note, its interesting, did I see Ri-Ri as a performer? Dang, I guess her 15 minutes of fame continues to go into overtime. Congrats to Aretha who gets to sing at the actual swearing in. Man, this is history in the making…..I’m excited.
Congrats to Bey and everybody else who will be performing. I’ll definitely be watching this historic event Tuesday. Obama inauguration already setting records for costing $160 million as well opening a whole new chapter as a whole.
i love you beyonce – thats what shes performing on the hbo special on sunday, shes performing sum10 different on the 20th the actual inaug day
Good for Beyonce! Hot!
And Rihanna is still singing!? Ugh.
P.S- DID ANYONE SEE THE YOUTUBE VIDEO OF RIHANNA SINGING MARIAH CAREY’S HERO? LMAO. IT WAS TERRIBLE!!!
JUST YOUTUBE SEARCH “RIHANNA SINGING HERO BY MARIAH CAREY”
Bey’s eyes are very beautiful. I don’t know why I never picked up on them before. Anyway, good for her. I’m sure she’ll do an incredible job, one of the best performers whether ballad or a dance song.
As far as Rih, Usher and Bow Wow, okay?
RIHANNA is not singing @ no official inaug shes singing w/ the kiddys on disney channel
i knew my sista beyonce had a trick up her sleeve…
take dat for all the hatas that thought beyonce wasnt gonna shine somehow at this inaguration…the official first dance? it dont get no better than that hun…
and for all u rhi rhi fans…look where she is performing at..DISNEY..and jus so u really get into how tired that is..look who is performing with her..USHER..lol..now thats funny..how u go from bein up there wit beyonce to performin for disney?
@17. Marquies – LMAO !
HIT HATERS, HI HATERS, HI HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES, Im glad Bey got her wish, Im sure she will KILL it!! Lmao at Rhianna’s tone deaf ass performing at the DISNEY concert!!! EAT THAT BYTCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!
and for all the bey haters..
LETS KEEP IT CUTE AND PUT IT ON MUTE !!!
As much as I don’t like Beyonce but how childish is it that grown folks are acting like kids over the fact that Rihanna is singing for the kids. Some of ya’ll should seek some help. I think it is an honor for every singer actor and entertainer who will be involved in with the Inauguration. Whether they are singing reading or received an invitation to be there. I mean this is the time to come together and ya’ll are acting like singing for the kids is a bad thing. SMDH at black people.
The fact people think Beyonce is so talented is telling enough. If anything, this is just a testament to how powerful the machine that controls her career is. Apparently a lot of people can be fooled most of the time. Change a single word of someone else’s song and take credit for it? LOL.
@ VelvetJ
According to the music business….she’s allowed to do that. Blame the business.
Congrats Bey!!!! I knew she’d play a part somehow. Can’t wait to hear the song, or watch the performances!
Now that I really think about it, Bey has accomplished so much. When she has children, I’m sure she’ll have stories after stories to tell them about her life adventure. She is such a special women whether she shakes it like a salt shaker or not. Her accomplishments alone make one think of how amazing she is. I just don’t understand how someone can hate this woman. I’m sure when she has children they will be cockier than ever, like “Well my Mommy did this, and won this, and met blah blah blah” and “My Daddy won this, and did this” and “My parents get millions a day”. They would have every right to be conceited.
Just imagine that. Bey deserves a wonderful family, I hope she settles down within the next couple of years and starts one.
Glad for Beyonce, Haters are about to have a fit
Can we get a post about the heroic plane crash today in the Hudson??
lol @ 28..yea girl u need to head over to c n n or somethin…u are going OFF!!! lol
BIG UP TO MY GIRL ALICIA WHO WILL BE PERFORMING AT 2 INAUGURAL BALLS NEXT WK, EVERYBODY SAYIN BEY BEY BUT NOBODY SAYIN ALICIA..SO BIG UP
Wow, I’m going to have to stop responding in Beyonce posts because its quite obvious that some of you have an unhealthy obsession with this woman. I am a fan, but good Lord. If Beyonce were singing for our military families, which is what Ri is doing on the Disney Channel, many would swear that it was the highest honor. I guess that “hate” for some of you is a two edged sword. Congrats to Beyonce, but darn it, that Ri just remains so relevant. Man, speaking of fallin’ back..
Beyonce doesn’t surprise me. They wouldn’t let this multi-talented woman not perform at such a historic event!
Good for you Rihanna!
Go Girls!
Wow , Congrats Bey . This is so big for her !
Congrats for all them .
BTW, my picture is a pitcure of Rihanna holding up a sign that says “I LOVE SASHA”.
CONGRATS BEE!!!!!! HATERS WHERE ARE YOU AT?!? Y’ALL THOUGHT YOUR VICIOUS HATE MONGERING PETITIONS WOULD DO SOME DAMAGE?!? NEW FLASH FOR YOU, KARMA IS A B*TCH!!! GOD DOESN’T LIKE UGLY. THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU INTENTIONALLY GO OUT TO SABOTAGE SOMEBODY OUT OF BLATANT HATE. INSTEAD SHE GOT BLESSED WITH THE HONOR OF SINGING FOR THE PRESIDENT’S FIRST DANCE,AND PERFORMING AT THE OFFICIAL INAUGURAL EVENTS
Beyonce’s hair es muy bonita y perfecto.
@ Look, people are so ridiculous until they do not even realize that these girls love each other in real life. Thank you for that picture.
CONGRATS BEYONCE…I AM SOOO HAPPY FOR HER..and LMAO at RIHANNA SINGING AT THE KIDS EVENT ON THE DISNEY CHANNEL.. I GUESS SHE CANT PERFORM ON ABC WITH THE HEAVYWEIGHTS..LMAO
GOOOO BEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@36 I think they do like each other in real life. Rihanna’s Grammy campaign features 5 DC songs. I don’t think she would choose their songs if she wasn’t a fan.
@37 so performing for miltary kids is trival?? So is that less of honor??
HILLARY IS GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT CARIBBEAN TERRORIST DON’T MAKE IT TO AMERICAN SOIL. GOD BLESS HER!
Fourth man arrested in JFK terror plot
Guyanese man surrenders in Trinidad
A terror plot that could have killed millions of Americans is stopped by authorities. So far, 3 people have been arrested and authorities are looking for a 4th in this alleged terror plot on the JFK Airport in New York City. Reports show that the plot was to blow up jet fuel pipelines and tanks at JFK to create a massive explosion. One pipeline stretches nearly 40 miles from Linden, New Jersey to the airport and goes through residential neighborhoods. Authorities say one of the suspects, a U.S. citizen and a native of Guyana, once worked at the airport
Terror Plot Takedown
one a legal immigrant from Haiti and one an illegal Haitian immigrant. Federal prosecutors say the men were members of a “homegrown” terrorist cell that had pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda and was plotting deadly, 9/11-scale attacks.
The government charges they intended to blow up the FBI’s Miami headquarters and bring down the Sears Tower in Chicago.

In the United States, new AIDS patients are relatively more likely to be men who have sex with men (MSM); in Florida, they are relatively more likely to be female, heterosexual and black — ESPECIALLY AMONG IMMIGRANTS FROM HAITI, AND ELSEWHERE IN THE CARIBBEAN. In 2002, MSM comprised 46 percent of new US AIDS cases, but only 40 percent in Florida. New cases stemming from heterosexual sex were 11 percent in the United States for 2002, but 20 percent in Florida.

Ya’ll rihanna stans need 2 stop ya’ll no dang well singing for sum troops families w/ the jo hoes, slusher, and bark bark is not the same as performing at the inaug and we all kno which charts higher. not that singing for the troops isnt important but the inaug ranks WAY higher
@39 No it just shows where she stands in the music industry with the kids on the DISNEY CHANNEL!!!!! instead of performing for the PRESIDENT on ABC…
Beyonce is so awesome. I bet she could cure cancer and AIDs too just by singing Bootylicious acapella on the western coast of Africa. And that’s just one of the classic musical gems in which she graced the world with her excellent songwriting skills. I’m just not sure why they didn’t tap her to write Barack’s inauguration speech. Imbeciles. Hopefully Michelle Obama, a much less accomplished female, will look to Bey and Tina Knowles for her White House fashions. Who knows what she could accomplish in ill fitting, cheap fabrics laden with sequins and blond Yakky. It could be the White House of Dereon!!! I just love BEYONCE SO MUCH I WANT TO BE HER BEST FRIEND AND BACKUP SINGER AND I WOULD DRINK HER SWEAT SO SHE CAN BE A PART OF ME. OH MY GOD BEYONCE PLEASE READ THIS AND CALL ME BECAUSE I NEED A JOB AND I WILL MOVE IN WITH YOU AND JAY AND LICK THE FLOOR IF YOU ASK ME TO!!!!
@43 LOL..RIHANNA GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!! and STOP HATING GO GET READY FOR THE DISNEY CHANNEL!!!!!! LMAO
YES….BEY I know the haters are PISSED off..it amazes me how just a post about this woman, can bring the most hateful/physco sides out of people…i guess if people aint HATING, you aint SH*T….oh and DON’T BE ACTING ALL SHOCKED..even the HATERS knew she was gonna be CHOSEN to perform..despite the “petitions”..
Once again congrats Bey!
@ 43, YOU SOUND BITTER AS HELL! LMAO. Just give it up, you LOSE!
Congrads to every performer that will be part of this historic event.
Watch this post go to 500+, lol.
So? Hows that petition working out for you girls?
I guess when you’re throwing hints about wanting to sing for them, someone finally is worn down enough to just let you sing. I was really hoping that other choices were made, but oh well. Can’t really get away from feeding the ego of beyowulf
Go Bee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haterz where u at!!!!!!!! Beyonce fans stand up!!!!!!!!!! Go Beyonce!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Queen!!!!
Honestly, the only reason Beyonce is performing because #1 she asked and #2 Jennifer Hudson turned it down. The world knows how much she has been begging to “do something”….still not impressed! Also she performed for Bush and was not supporting Obama until it was clear that he was going to get the Nom. from the Dem. Party.
@ 18
beyonce wasnt gonna shine somehow at this inaguration…the official first dance? it dont get no better than that hun…
Seriously though, this event is not about her. Beyonce can’t take The Obama’s shine. I know you’re a stan and everything, but quit making this about her.
Beyonce and Jay are rich Republicans who got richer from Bush and his tax cuts for the wealthy. They care about themselves and being known in history rather than doing it from their hearts. I bet money once the Obama’s are in the white house they will have no association with “The Carters”.
The Keywords: Inauguration Night….not the actual inauguration.
Kenny, whatever let’s you sleep at night! lol. This is NOT about Bee, we KNOW that. It’s the haters who were making petitions and shit that were trying to make it about her. Whether she was invited or not, the same people would be on this board talking about her telling us why she wasn’t.
Yuck to all the Beyonce stans. She is one of many performers at the ceremony. The real star at the event is Obama, the first black president of the USA. I think the majority of Beyonce stans are a combination of:
1. 90′s babies.
2. Uneducated adults
and
3. Gay black men that need a female diva to emulate
and
Obama is the real star. Beyonce is one of my performers there to celebrate this event.
…Looking forward to seeing lots of performers including Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Mary J, and more. Let’s celebrate our first black president not STUPIDITY!!!!!!!
What’s wrong with you ppl the inauguration isn’t about who’s gonna sing. Its about is the American ppl getting hope, and change. A new president. Damn you ppl, you guys are missing the point. Beyonce, Rihanna and any other person is probably honored 2 even be there. You ppl need 2 get the big picture here. 2009 CHANGE!!!!!
@KENNY You sound ridiculous! Bey was wearing shirts with OBAMA on it and she cancelled a show to do a OBAMA rally! I mean im sure they asked Bey to sing for Bush….I mean was she going to SAY NO??? Also that was waaay before Bush started Fuccn up! CONGRATS TO BEY…Damn Im sure she is happy as hell! lol
