President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama danced their way through 10 official inaugural balls Tuesday night, after a historic day in American history.
The Obamas were serenaded by Beyoncé during their first dance at the Neighborhood Ball, where she sang Etta James’ “At Last,” from her role in the movie “Cadillac Records.”
Before the dance, Obama addressed the crowd, which erupted in applause when he entered the room.
“First of all, how good-looking is my wife?” Obama beemed.
Beautiful and fitting song! Beyonce did a great job.
SIMPLY LOVELY. IT FILLS ME WITH JOY TO SEE A BLACK COUPLE SO IN LOVE. IT’S ALMOST LIKE A FAIRY TALE
THE REASON THEY CHOSE BEYONCE INSTEAD OF A MORE “POWERFUL” SINGER AS SOME OF YOU PEOPLE CALL IT IS BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T WANT ANYONE SCREAMING FOR THE FIRST COUPLES DANCE. IT WAS SUCH A SOFT AND SERENE MOMENT, THEY DIDN’T WANT ANY OVERBARING VOCALIST PERFORMING. I THINK SHE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. THE WHOLE EVENT WAS BEAUTIFUL
LOVE IT! LOVE B love it!
Sidenote: Yah need to leave Beyonce alone! WTF? I mean her last album was not the best but one thing homegirl never fails is a performance! She sang perfectly for the President and First-Lady…It was nice and initimate! She made the spotlight just for them and out herself in the shadow…She did her job! Point blank, nobody in our generation does it better!!! Beyonce= Best performer alive! She works hard for that title!
‘”Aside from that Beyonce looked nice and did ok I think that they could have chosen a much better vocalist though. Hey that’s just an oservation and my opinion!”
Agreed!! As usual she oversung. I hate vocal gymnastics.
@TIA…you call people ignorant and then go use the n word. Please.
“so magical to see the flow of emotions that Bey was overcome with, you can not blame her, ”
That is the best I’ve seen Beyonce act. Goodness knows how long she stood infront the mirror practising that one. Then again,she cries at all her shows at the exact same time. Nothing new. She may finally get her Oscar.
“This was sweet, but why didn’t they ask Etta James? I mean it’s her song and she’s still alive. No one does it like her.”
Because people are fickle…

A truly beautiful and timeless moment in history. The Obama’s are an inspiration on so many levels. An inspiration to not only work harder in life, but to love harder also. Proud doesn’t even begin to explain what I feel watching this!

That was an amazingly beautiful moment. Barack and Michelle are so lovely.
And Beyonce? She sang her heart out and it’s pretty apparent she was
moved by such a momentuous occasion.
