Aretha Franklin to sing at Obama inauguration Yo-Yo Ma will play cello, accompanied by violinist Itzhak
WASHINGTON - Aretha Franklin will sing, Pastor Rick Warren will pray and Yo-Yo Ma will play the cello during President-elect Barack Obama’s Inauguration. Congressional leaders on Wednesday announced the program, which also will feature poet Elizabeth Alexander; the Rev. Joseph Lowery, a veteran civil rights leader; and the U.S. Marine and Navy bands. The Jan. 20 event on the steps of the Capitol is expected to draw as many as four million visitors to see Obama take the noontime oath from Chief Justice John Roberts. Violinist Itzhak Perlman, pianist Gabriela Montero and clarinetist Anthony McGill will join Ma for a new work composed by John Williams. Vice President-elect Joe Biden will take his oath from Justice John Paul Stevens. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28282312/ http://www.msnbc.msn.com/...7#28285117 Harlepolis said: lastdecember said: honesty whomever is chosen to sing, i feel it should be all inclusive, and also meaning that invite some folks from back in the day, who freaking struggled, Aretha and or Patti needs to be there
Good idea(even though its redundant). But also, bring somebody young who could sing,,,REALLY sing, not fluff thier asses out. The whole theme of inauguration day is the new change, no sense of draggin' out the old without some of the young voices, some of them need their chances too, and now its the best time. | |

So is Aretha going to sing "Touch my Body" again? She is performing that HORRID song more than even Mariah did. "We went where our music was appreciated, and that was everywhere but the USA, we knew we had fans, but there is only so much of the world you can play at once" Magne F | |

How about a titty joke??? Cuz you know Re-Re loves to flash the president.  I'ma need Michelle to oversee Re-Re's wardrobe options.  Otherwise, it's gon' be a gang of titties at the inauguration. Janet's Superbowl itty bitty titty display ain't got NUTHIN on this potential debacle! | |

I would like to think she would sing "Some day we'll All Be Free". Then she lets those titties loose "BREAKING NEWS: PRESIDENT OBAMA AND THE FIRST LADY WERE NEARLY SUFFOCATED BY TWO 100 LBS BAGS OF TITTYMEAT." The culprit  "We may deify or demonize them but not ignore them. And we call them genius, because they are the people who change the world." |
