.....why not just get Etta herself to do it?

I asked this son another thread. I have a question...I remember Destiny's Child performing for Bush--TWICE, right? Wasn't this on youtube and pulled lately? Didn't a bunch of you say you remembered Beyonce and the girls performing?

I'm not crazy then...right? Then why was she in tears when being interviewed by Robin Roberts about her AT LAST song and saying, "I'm just overwhelmed. You know I voted before, but I've never been a part of an inauguration ceremony...etc." I mean...wth?

Maybe she'll do a medley
Ave Maria (female version of a gangsta)

Oh yeah I forgot about Audra and Kathleen! They would've been great as well. And an instrumental piece would be really nice too.

I'm not tired of Bouncy, I actuallly think she's a good entertainer but I do feel that others are more deserving of this honor, such as Gladys Knight or Anita Baker or even Yolanda Adams.

It doesn't even have to be a female...what about Stevie?

It's cool to have her participate but she doesn't need to headline the event. I'm guessing she got the hookup because of Jayz's work during the campaign.

I was at work and missed the First dance. I saw when Obama got sworn in though.....the main thing I cared about. Beyonce did "At Last" for the first dance.....why not just get Etta herself to do it? That's so lame, man.

No, she got the hook up because the Obama's are fans of hers. In 2007, The Obama family attended her show "The Beyoncé Experience" in Chicago. Barack Obama said that Beyoncé was the only celebrity he asked to take a picture with & asked his handlers to get him a copy of it later at one of his fundraisers. In Marie Clair interview, they asked Michelle what she was playing in her ipod and she said Stevie Wonder & Beyoncé. In US Weekly, Barack says that his daughters Sasha & Malia favorite people are Miley Cyrus and Beyoncé. MSNBC reported that some members of Obama's family in Kenya that are coming out to the inauguration say they look forward to meeting Beyoncé as well. They love her - that's why she's there.

That was fun. I loved the way Barry said, What’s going on Queen? Like he knew her from around the way. How awesome that they went down the line to shake everybody’s hand. Who were the two guys John was talking to? Joe B’s sons?

Because, like the rest of today's entertainers, she has no mind of her damn own. If the public is hyped up for Obama, then she's hyped up for Obama to make herself look good. If the public is hyped up for Bush, then she's hyped up for Bush. Her stupid ass would perform for the Ku Klux Klan if she thought the public was hyped up for them. She's not the only performer like that though. Damn near all of them these days are just like her.

Holy crap. All this time I looked at that photo and thought she was on a pair of skis! I thought the leashes were poles and the alligator bodies were the skis. I never saw their mouths open. Forget about the fact that she'd be wearing a bikini in the grass on skis. I just figured that Beyonce for ya. Always trying to be provocative.
