There came a sound that enters the mind
Through a door that's deep in your soul
Through every pore of your body it goes

Thanks for posting. I will try to remember to catch this for Sheila and Jose Feliciano. However, why do they have Marc Anthony pictured when his name was not listed as a performer?

Damn, Canada pops up on my Ameri-centric map once again. I live in Minnesota, aka Canada Jr, and I had no idea you guys had any reason to give thanks.

We have concert performances in The White House quite often. They generally are not private concerts for just the president, although, for obvious reasons, they are for a private, invitation only audience. The concerts are usually a way to mark a special holiday, shed light on a social cause, honor a particular person of outstanding achievement, or simply as a chance to celebrate the richness and diversity that exists in American performance and creative arts. Since the advent of television, these concerts are often shown on television via network tv or in the last few decades, PBS (the Public Broadcasting System station).

You'll probably be able to eventually view concert on the PBS website (and probably find pieces of it on youtube).

Watching this now and Sheila looks so great! She's doing a fine performance, and it's so impressive that she is the musical producer for the evening. Nice work, Sheila.

I'm extremely impressed...Our very own Sheila producing a show at the WH! Great performances so far.

Ditto! I LOVE Sheila. She looked amazing in both outfits and she held it down as musical director and performer. I was so touched by seeing her perform with her father at the White House because I know it was a big moment for them to share.

I was surprised that Carlos Santana wasn't there. Did he have a show in Vegas tonight? Other than that everyone else was very good, especially Gloria, Los Lobos and the great Jose Feliciano! The only low light was the Reggaeton guy.

Edit - Obama needs some dance classes!

Our Prez ain't got no riddim... lol

I enjoyed the show very much, Sheila outdid herself and her dad was very proud. I was disappointed that Santana wasn't there, but it was great seeing Jose Feliciano.

nod
...that reggaeton guy (whom I don't even recognize) was horrible AND he wasn't even doing a reggaeton! WTF?!?! At least give us Wilsin & Yandel or Ivy Queen for fuck's sake! Oh wait, I know! Maybe they originally had Daddy Yankee scheduled but replaced him at the last minute when they found out that D.Y. is a Republican.
lol

Yeah, and how come;
No Santana.
No Ricky Martin.
No Shakira.
question

She E. has been the musical director for so many television telecasts for so many years, though. It's not like it's her first time being in charge of the music for a concert tv filming lol. That nonwithstanding,yes she did a wonderful job...as usual lol
