Where Beyonce and Mary are performing is the MAIN CONCERT TELIVISED for the inauguration! THe actual ceremony on Tuesday will be Aretha and more gospel…all the POP RNB AND COUNTREY acts are at the Lincoln Memorial…..The KIDS Ball is hanna Montanna and the jonas brothers…It si going to be something for ALL THE PEOPLE!!!!! BEYONCE AND MARY are major stars so they will be TELEVISED!I am so happy for them to be a part of history! GO BEY! They cant take you boo!

I love it!

Alright now Fantasia i saw a picture of your mansion and it is fabulous.

Yeah Fantasia is singing at the inauguration on January 20th the Urban Ball , i wish i can go and see her along with Luda.

LOL! Folks are acting like she’s performing at the inauguration. Ummmm….no, and I think that was the goal of the petition. They added her at the last minute to the HBO concert at the Lincoln Memorial, and most likely, she’s the opening act. ROFLMAO.

lol…Love the list and I’m happy to see Heather Headly is on the A-List!

The unwarranted hoopla regarding Beyonce performing is just silly talk from crazies…lol.. … Obama has said himself that “a little bit of Jay and Beyonce are on his ipod.”

I’ve never been a fan of Aretha’s voice.. i just don’t get it,ya’ll.. and even tho B might be this, that and the other.. I’d prefer her performing and OVER the top singing over Areatha’s ashy voice any day! They should have put Ms. Patti, or Janet, Christina or Ms. Tina or even Prince on board! Now THEY give a Performance out of this WORLD!

I am so happy Beyonce is performing. That’s my girl!! What I really can’t believe is the hate thought. O my goodness like calm down with all of that. I think to be a performer for anything this big is a major accomplishment in itself. But, you wouldn’t understand that though because it’s her accomplishment and not yours right?

So glad Fantasia didn’t loose her home!! Prayed for her, Jesus works all the time lol. She might wanna take some finacial classes though so this dosen’t happen another time.

Good job Lil’ Wayne. God bless you, He will return it ten-fold (as the word would say).

@ Urban Chic
Beyonce is performing at two official inaugural events and the Obamas will be in attendance.

@Tiff
The Presidential Inaugural Committee selected Beyonce, along with the other artists performing at Lincoln Memorial. Beyonce was also selected to perform at the ball immediately following the swearing-in.

@Sweetthang729
J. Hud’s reps said that she was never asked and those were rumors, so your comment is incorrect. Google it and find another method of hate.

MsGreeneMba
Beyonce is performing at two official inaugural events. The Obamas will be at both

The hoopla regarding Bey performing is simply because so many didn’t want her to. There was a petition going around requesting that Bey didn’t perform, so many said she wouldn’t….and she is….twice! That’s why Bey is getting the attention…they said she couldn’t get it, and she did again

Since when did the following acts become rejects?

Beyonce, U2, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Usher, Shakira, Sheryl Crow, Josh Groban and James Taylor are among the musicians scheduled to perform Sunday afternoon. The president-elect and his family are due to attend, with Obama expected to speak.

Other performers include Stevie Wonder, Renee Fleming, Garth Brooks, Mary J. Blige, Herbie Hancock, Heather Headley, John Legend and Jennifer Nettles

BY YTHE WAY OBAMAS TEAM HAS INSTRUCTED THEM TO SING SONGS APPROPRIATE FOR THE CELEBRATION THERES ONLY ONE PERSON I CAN THINK OF WHO THAT REMARK COULDE BE REFERENCED TO PLUS THEY STILL USING BEYONCE TO SELL TO THE MEDIA BECAUSE OF THE RECESSION NOT BECAUSE OF HER TALENT SHE IS JUST A HOUSEHOLD NAME PLUS THEY ARE FREEMASONS AS GEORGE BUSH SAID YOUR EITHER WITH US OR AGAINST US LETS SEE IF BEYONCE IS GOING TO BE WITH ANY OF YOU WHEN THINGS REALLY START TO LICK MOST OF YOU STANS AND FANS WIOLL BE EATING CREDIT CRUNCH CEREAL FOR BREAKFAST DINNER AND LUNCH BIG UP WEEZY

She has no mortgage its paid for in full this house was being auction for taxes on another property where she borrowed money to pay in 2006 it can happen to anyone and the recession it will happen to those you wouldnt believe so lay off our girl Tasia she know what to do with all that negative stuff roll off her back you see so many sites had this posted now lets see how many will post now… when you dont know just leave the situation alone something just aint everybody business…..

I am happy for Bey. There are only 2 black females in her age group that is performing at the Inauguration Balls, that’s her and Alicia and they are doing it among LEGENDS. I guess much to some people chagrins, Bey is truly a legend and an icon. Along with Alicia. Peeps need to get with the program and see it for what it is.

Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers headline kids’ concert
By BRETT ZONGKER – 7 hours ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers are slated to perform on the eve of President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration at a concert for children, and a day later, the Obamas will have their first dance at a ball headlined by Beyonce, Jay-Z and Stevie Wonder.

The Presidential Inaugural Committee announced the talent lineup Tuesday for the “Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future” concert honoring military families, which will air Monday night, Jan. 19, on the Disney Channel. The Neighborhood Inaugural Ball, which will allow the Obamas to meet some of their new neighbors in the District of Columbia, will be broadcast live on ABC on Jan. 20. It also will feature Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey, Faith Hill, Alicia Keys and Shakira.

“We are bringing these exciting performances into the homes of millions of Americans to make this the most open and accessible inauguration celebration ever,” Emmett Beliveau, executive director of the inaugural committee, said in announcing the lineup.

Obama revealed during the campaign that he listens to Jay-Z on his iPod. And the president-elect’s daughters are fans of Cyrus and her Disney show, “Hannah Montana.”

Just after the election, Cyrus’ father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus invited the Obama daughters to appear on the “Hannah Montana” show. The Disney Channel issued a statement saying they’re welcome any time.

For their part, Beyonce, husband Jay-Z and Blige earned their stripes by campaigning for Obama just before the election in states like Pennsylvania, Florida and Ohio. Obama’s win brought Beyonce to tears, she said after the election, and she immediately volunteered to help on Inauguration Day.

“I’m there. I can’t wait. I feel like all of us, we’re ready to do whatever we have to do. Whatever they want — if they need me to volunteer, they need me to sing, I’m there, and I’m ready,” a giddy Beyonce told The Associated Press the day after the election.

Love to see all these people coming out to show love and support for Barack Obama.It’s a beautiful thing and it keeps getting better ha.Haters can FALLBACK like WHOA!!!

I’m pretty I’ve seen like what more than 15 artist named and people are once again trying to turn this whole post and make all about Beyonce congratulations to everybody who is going to perform it would be nice to have someone classy there like Alicia Keys, but we still got John Legend, Stevie Wonder, Mary J. Blige, and others.

Are you people serious stans and haters need help this is suposed to be about Obama becoming president and you little kids are arguing over Beyonce and Rihanna and so what if she isn’t performing that doesn’t mean Obama doesn’t like her GET A LIFE why don’t yaw!!!!!!! Oh and performing at the inaguration does not make you THE BEST!!!!!!!

Congratulations Fantasia on keeping your home! That is good news!

Yay so Alicia is performing woo hoo!

YOU IDIOTS BEYONCE IS NOT PERFORMING AT THE “REAL” INAUGUATION FOOLS. THAT HEFFA HER COKE SNORTING DADDY AND CAMEL LOOKING HUSBAND ARE PUTTING ON A CONCERT THE DAY BEFORE. SINCE THE HEFFA COULDN’T GET IN WHERE SHE WANTED TO FIT IN, HER CRAZY @SS DECIDED TO DAY A CONCERT THE DAY OF. SO YOU CRAZY STANS SHE STILL AIN’T PERFOMING AT THE ORGINAL. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

BUSH LOVING @SS. BEYACKI GO JUMP OFF A CLIFF WE KNOW YOU LOVE TO DO THAT.

Ok, its an inauguration….not a friggin’ rap/hip hop concert. I’m proud of Obama and all but someone needs to wash out these lame performances, no need to start the year off like this, they need to be classy and decent, leave that crap at the source awards…

Man, I’m just kidding. Look, I’m happy for B. Heck if I didn’t like her, I wouldn’t work out to an entire playlist with nothing but her songs on it. You all know by now, some of us just keep stuff going. I can’t wait.

Rihanna is going to be performing at one of the inagural events. She is going to be performing at the kids inagural concert, on the sunday. There are many inagural events going on around the capitol, and various artists will be headlining them.

The concrert is really for the public I doubt Obama show up to half of these shows, he might want to but he will be busy.

Anyone wanting to know what is “official” and “unofficial” they should check the Obama inaugural website its states what events are official and what he will be at. It states that Obama and Biden will be at the Kid event, but says nothing about him being at the free concert so I doubt he be there. If he is there it will to speak to the media and that’s it.

But congrats to everyone performing at an official or unofficial event it’s still apart of history.

Beyonce was not good enough to be at the REAL Innauguration, that’s a gig fit for the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin, so she gets to do a concert with other singers, but not the Innauguration bwhahahahaa! Sorry Sasha, even Rihanna got an Innauguration gig, so Sasha Fierce just fizzled, everyone is over it, sit down wide-ass beyonce lmao

NEWSFLASH:
BEYONCE STATED THAT SHE WANTED TO SING AT THE INAUGURATION. SHE WASN’T INVITED LOL

SO INSTEAD SHE GETS TO SING AT THE PRE-INAUGURATION CONCERT. AND THAT’S WHAT IS IS FOLKS. A PRE SHOW FOR ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO BE AT ONE OF THE BALLS BUT ISN’T INVITED LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

WOMP WOMP, THE INAUGURATION IS NOT WHERE BEYONCE WILL BE
JUST AT THE PRE-INAUGURATION CONCERT. BIG DIFFERENCE LMAO

Beyonce will be performing at TWO OFFICIAL events. The Lincoln Memorial concert kicks off the official inaugural events. Barack will be present.

No one ever teaches African American how to win financially its very sad.

Yes Beyonce is performing guess what so are other celebrities and it’s sad that you guys can support Beyonce ( by the way I have no problem with her) , but yaw can’t support Obama and don’t even say yaw are because if yaw were then why do most of these comments say Beyonce.

Beyonce is not invited to the inauguration, a pre concert is just that, just a concert whether Barack will be there or not, can’t spin this into being Beyonce at the Inauguration, Truthfully at the OFFICIAL inauguration WHEN BARACK IS BEING SWORN IN : ARETHA FRANKLIN NOT BEYONCE
BWAHA LOL AND WE ALL KNOW THAT IS WHAT BEYONCE MEANT WHEN SHE SAID SHE WANNA SING AT THE INAUGURATION, THERE IS ONLY ONE INAUGURATION, MANY EVENTS SURROUNDING IT BUT IT DOES NOT COUNT.
BEYONCE LOST TO QUEEN RI RI
I HOPE SHE’S READING THIS LOLOLOL
BEYONCE IS A LOSER THE PETITIONERS WON AGAIN. LMAO

Beyonce stans what is wrong with yaw?! Hmmm…Alicia Keys is performing at the inaguration, Mary J. Blige, Beyonce so on and yet the stans keep bringing up only Beyonce like she is the only one which congratulations they all deserve it, but why not be happy for everybody why are yaw only focusing on one artist I mean I understand she is yaw favorite singer hell Alicia is mine, but yaw make it seem like she is the only talented person out there! Hey notice how I mentioned more than one person! If yaw want a change and haters this goes for yaw too stop with this crap! Especially with this Ri Ri vs Beyonce crap it’s time to grow up you don’t see these two downing each other!

Beyonce at the neighborhood ball? lol so why didn’t they get her to sing Put a ring on it for the president when he’s being sworn into office? lololol you do the math folks, beyonce is too trashy to sing at the actual inauguration so she gets the neighborhood ball and a pre concert. hahahahaa
when will she learn, she’s too damn hood to be at the inauguration so they let her do the neighborhood ball lol now thats some ish right there lol yeah barack will stop through but michelle and barack are like, bish we will see yo azz at the neighborhood all but not all rump shakin at the inauguration. yeah you can do a “inauguration fsstivity” but not the real deal. that’s for the classy people!

@ 114 Nothing negative, but Beyonce’s not hood at all that DIVA song proved nothing! Any ways go Obama because it’s really all about you not Beyonce or anybody else!

BEYONCE. IS. NOT. PERFORMING. AT. THE. INAUGURATION. All the begging got her to perform at the KICKOFF concert. BEYONCE. WAS. NOT. INVITED. TO. PRESIDENTIAL. BALLS. Silly stan. BEYONCE. BEGGED. TO. PERFORM. AT. THE. INAUGURATION. AND. ISN’T. LMAO @ stans thinking “concerts” are just as important as the INAUGURATION. Guess what, the INAUGURATION will in the history books, not some wack kick off concert. BWAAHAAA @ silly stans like y’all. B LOST. Get over it.

@116

You’re damn sure not living up to your username.

Some of you are pathetic! I am quite convinced that the people who have anything negative say are Rihanna stans. She’s performing at two OFFICIAL events. It may not be the actual Inauguration, but it’s not like she got replaced by some other artist in her age group. Furthermore, she didn’t even ask specifically to sing at the actual event. LOL @ how people are downplaying this. I don’t see Rihanna’s name nowhere near this list. Riddle me that!

Congrats to all artists who are performing!

I just want to know why everytime there is a post that has to do with Beyonce you people are always bringing up Rihanna and dogging her grow up what the hell I mean I don’t even get how yaw compare the two Rihanna is a rookie she still has a long way to go. It’s not fair to her that yaw keep putting her up against Beyonce I know this girl is like ” Damn am I that much of a threat!” Lol anyways I’m happy that there’s going to be artist like Alicia Keys, Heather Headley, John Legend, and Mary J. Blige there people who make you feel their music! I’m proud of every body even Beyonce even though I’m not a stan, but that is a good line up of celebrities!

I know these celeberties have heard about the kids in Washington state ne need $20,000 to get to the ignaguation. When I saw it again on BET news
I was like Beyonce, Jay, Matthew Knowles, Kanye, R. Kelly, somebody get th these kids there, come on now. Now that would impress me.
They have been running this story for a week now on BET new.

In the midst of all this hate, Congragulations to Fantasia! Keep giving em something to talk about! Some of yall make me wanna break out into the old negro spritual “We Shall Overcome”,cuz clearly we havent overcame yet,some of us are worrying about when somebody is singing rather than concentrating on the real concept of the Inaguration. Any way looking foward to seeing Fantasia perform at the Urban ball,but my main focus is to see our new President sworn in. Peace and Love yall!

CONGRATES! TO ALL THE PERFORMERS AT THE INAUGURATION!

BLACK PEOPLE ITS TIME FOR US TO STOP PUTTING EACH OHER
