VIDEO: PRESIDENT OBAMA & THE FIRST LADY SHARE A DANCE
Wednesday, January 21, 2009
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.

Barack and Michelle I’m so proud. This is truly a beautiful couple who clearly love each other and stand by each other in every way. Bey that’s my girl as everyone knows and she did a good job and she was so proud and excited to be there. This was a great celebration with a great group of performers all around. Good Job.

awwww, i loved it. beyonce did a good job. i cried too because, i guess, during this dance i only saw love and warmth and . . . just a beautiful dancing couple. they were so graceful and . . . oh man, i’m gonna cry again . . . i thought this first dance was lovely, absolutely lovely.
May God Bless you Barack and Michelle - Mr. President and First Lady
(and God Bless you too Malia and Sasha)
oh, moments like these make me feel so warm. it’s like my big sister Brandy says, “Warm it up (with Love)” ['Human' in stores now]. yeah, love melts the cold hearts. i say, more historic inaugurations, more first dances, more love!

It was beautiful, too bad I missed it on TV, I bet it would’ve been more touching.
Slightly off topic, but could Mariah atlease cover up even a little more during this event? Her performance actually made me cry too, =(.

This was truly a beautiful moment. One that will definitely be etched in the minds of Americans and those abroad for a long time. The love that the Obama’s have for each other and is extremely touching. Tears definitely came to my eyes tonight. The looks they gave one another, and the emotion in their faces was so so so so beautiful. It was definitely a great moment that will be in history.
And what a great choice for At Last to be the song choice. Beyonce beautifully SANG that song, and truly gave a wonderful backdrop for the Obama’s to dance to. For anyone who doubts that she can sing extremely well (a top notch vocalist at that) or that she can’t bring class to events (laughs at the petitions) then you are truly wrong. She did an INCREDIBLE rendition of At Last, and it was great to see that the Obama’s loved it. She felt that! And for a good cause. Beyonce is definitely a great artist.
It is great to At Last finally see a black man in the highest office of the land and sharing it with his beautiful wife and family. What a wonderful day for the inauguration, and a great night to cap it all off!!! Amazing.

Watching this really brought tears to my eyes. It is wonderful to have the first black president and it is also wonderful to see how so in love President Obama and Mrs. Obama are, right now they are the epitome of black love and Beyonce sang beautifully but on a side note is it just me or Mariah Carey can’t sing that well anymore her voice has really gone down Hero is such a powerful song for the occasion and her performance didn’t make me feel anything, she didn’t do her own song justice but anywho HAPPY OBAMA DAY!!!everybody

Now you can’t tell me that’s not REAL love. That man loves his wife and I adore their bond for each other. Lord willing…this will help some of these folks really realize what love and marriage really means.

Oh yes I must make a note about Beyonce. I usually don’t get involved with all this back and forth drama…but the folks out here that have something negative to say need to leave her alone. Beyonce’s performance was DEFINITELY meant for them two. Nothing was fake about that. You could even see it in Michelle’s expression when they finished dancing and (I think) it really touched Beyonce.
What do you guys expect? This is not a time for hating but a time for rejoicing.

That was awesome! ( I sound like a white dude) But seriously, what a time 2 be an African-American!!! For all the times when I was younger and faced racism @ an early age in Searcy, AR to Laredo, TX by both whites and hispanics. And now being part of one of the most historic times of my life( all 26 years)! And as a black man I must be special and prosper by way of my Black President. Yes sir!

YAAAY For Obama and Michelle…they looked sooo beautiful last night, I watched the inaugartion all day yesterday it was sooo many things going on for him last night it was just too thrilling to even stop watching. Seeing my FAVORITE SINGER sing a song for our first BLK president was truly touching, and I am soo proud of my girl and happy that she got to be apart of something so PHENEMONAL..GO BEE.
She looked amazing and song even better. A gifted inspiration to our younger sisters.
Now we have a BLK PRESIDENT FOR OUR BROTHERS AND OUR YOUNG BROTHERS TO LOOK UP TO. Words cannot express the happiness I am feeling for my people right now…
I LOVE MY BLK PEOPLE THIS IS TRULY OUR YEAR TO SHINE.
The greatest moment for me is when they walked outside during the parade and waved to everyone…thats was so touching…I know MLK is soo proud of us….this was all for you MLK….thank you for opening the door for our ppl to reach tremendous oppurtunities….

MARCUS/33 — YOU ARE DISGUSTING. THAT’S WHY BLACKS HATE GAYS SO MUCH. YOU FOCUS ON MARIAH AND BEYONCE AND THE DIVA’S AND FORGOT THAT THIS MOMENT WAS BIGGER THAN THEM.
THIS WAS OBAMA’S MOMENT, MARIAH GAVE A HEARTFELT EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCE OF HERO TO OUR HERO, AND BEYONCE AND MARY GAVE THEIR EMOTIONAL BEST.
THIS MOMENT WAS NOT A DIVA MOMENT. IT WAS AN OBAMA MOMENT. THIS WOMEN WERE NOT ON AMERICAN IDOL THEY WERE GIVING THERE HEART.

This show brought me to tears, to see Beautiful women of color, Michelle, Vanessa Willaims, Beyonce, Mariah, Mary, all different shades, just doing beautiful thangs. Mariah gave her HERO his HERO welcoming with her emotional performance. Beyonce looked AUTHENTIC for once, and natural, and she is actually very beautiful. Vanessa Williams is the personification of classy. and Mary J. loved her.
Obama was given a HERO’s welcome.

Beyonce…….. not a fan and I also thought there should have been a stronger singer… idk maybe the orginal singer of the song!? Oh how i wish Jennifer could have just hummed something but i understand. Anyway love the Obamas, very beautiful to see a black couple in love and in power.

Not to deflect from the event but why are some people nit picking Beyonces dress and her pertruding nipple when Mariah had her cantaloup cleavage exposed the whole performance, come on now, let’s not turn this into a bash beyonce thing.
I’m so proud to have been able to witness this moment in history, even though I’m young ,I can still appreciate it.

What are some of yall that blinded by hate for Beyonce. GET OVER IT. This was first dance was about President Barack Obama and The ever so lovely First Lady Michelle Obama. This is truly not the time to be nitpicking about who should have sang, who YOU dont like, what YOU dont like, so on and so on. You know why, because nobody gives a sh*t about who yall like and who you dont like. Like I said this day belong to the President and his Wife. When one of your spouses becomes President, then you can decide who should perform at the inaugural balls. Until then have a coke and a smile and shut the f*ck up.
Why do dumba** people always have to ruin it for everybody. This moment was unbelieveably beautiful. The Obamas inspire me so much and everytime I look at them, they make me want to become stronger, wiser, better. This is now the time to truly lift one another up. Leave the negativity in the gutter. Aspire to be much more than you are. That is for everybody.

{Lets be respectful yall}
PRESIDENT and FIRST LADY OBAMA looked absolutely breathtaking. President Obama is so charming and I love the fact that he points out how Beautiful our First Lady is. I have to say though Mr. President seems to have two left feet
I could not help but to become misty eyed as a read his lips telling our First Lady “I love you” with so much passion in his eyes.
You could just see and hear the Pride in Denzel’s voice as he introduced the the first family. It was so magical to see the flow of emotions that Bey was overcome with, you can not blame her, the whole evening was dazzling and one that I will never forget.
Now the work begins.

Whatever ! i love the obama’s but that song was painful (mostly played at weddings now), but Etta James does it much better. Mariah is still that chick!

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.

@ 103- on the day after we inaugurate our first African-American POTUS you wish death upon a young positive African-American woman? That’s messed up on so many levels on ANY day, actually. SICK!
The Obamas have stated in many interviews they are fans of Beyonce (as well as Stevie, Mary, etc.) and how the kids are huge Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus fans (the JBros surprised the girls after the White House scavenger hunt last night, btw). So, it’s only fitting that those singers were among the selected performers. Etta James had no problem with Bey portraying her nor remaking her song so why should anyone else? I heard the wonderful Ms. James sing her own song a few years ago and while her voice is lovely, it’s not the same as when the song was recorded. If it was good enough for the Obamas, it should be good enough for everyone else. Their joy and love was evident on their faces, as was their appreciation for Beyonce singing “their” song. All I’m saying is “It’s a NEW DAY!” so let’s just come together and be happy. Peace

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

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.

“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.

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.
