BEYONCE At Last LIVE BARACK & MICHELLE OBAMA Sweet Dreams Halo Who Run The World Girls New Song 2011

[bycommdotnet]

Impresionante. Veo un presidente y su esposa bailando uno de los temas mas lindos que conozco. Lamentablemente aqui en Argentina tenemos una "presidente" que es PATETICA e IMPRESENTABLE. Simplemente en estas cosas envidio a los norteamericanos. // Awesome. I see a president and his wife dancing one of the most beautiful I know. Unfortunately here in Argentina we have a "president" who is pathetic and unsightly. These things just envy the Americans. I saw this video about 10 times.

[RandumDollTM]

um Beyonce Nipples are showing thru this everytime they pan to her.. BAHAHAHAH.. i guess Tina Knowles forgot to Bring Her Pasties.

[AWESMEGUY]

Lets kill all niggers

[avirazzy]

this is so cute :)

[breakawaychic07]

Beyoncé sings it best *shrugs get t'f over it.

[TheJazzalazzaling12]

Obviously the people saying Beyonce sounds better singing this than Christina Aguilera does are tone deaf and need to go listen to some Etta James and Ella Fitzgerald and then compare them to Justin Bieber and Brittany Spears to get their ear drums back in check so they know the difference between good and bad. :)

[YelloWhiteFlowers]

this is a movie where beyonce's lover is obama who just got married to michelle and she is happy for him n singing this song to him... LOL jk thats what it looks like XD

[Hairtherapist31]

Crack kills people christina is good but one style of singing beyonce comes with something different christina over does every note its like she added another 16 minutes to the song

[fepo89]

so cute :)

[CoolVideoWatcher101]

The first note I hear Christina sing is way more beautiful than Beyonce's. I'm sorry but I'll just have to say Christina sung it better for me. There was more emotion, more depth in the notes, she dared to take the song to a higher level and make it her own. Beyonce's just sound like a cover.

[TheBananaPancakees]

This performance brought tears to my eyes!! Beyonce has the power to sing in such a flawless way!! And still put her own touch in the song! Just Loved it!!

[4everPhantomslover]

How can people dislike this video? It is just a man dancing with his loving wife

[Divawithgoals]

This is a DEFINITE overcome moment for African American people. Its clearly WAY too much to look at, Beyonce performing for the Black President?! Everything in this moment is pure beauty. :)

[CiaooooBella]

It's funny that people are bashing Christina whenever Etta James herself said she didn't like Beyonce covering her song. Google it if you don't believe me.

[phillip3805]

WHY ARE THERE DIFFERENT SPOTS TO CLICK AND IT TAKES YOU SOME DORK SINGING SOME DORK SONG. WAY TO GO GOOGLE

[thabestuevahad678]

Definitely Better Than Christinas .

[spaceshipdinosaur]

whatever about beyonce singing it more smooth,christina put waaaaaaay much more feeling into it.you could feel more emotion.

[NewOrleansPharaoh]

beyonce sang it better. much more smooth.

[Takkitukki]

of course beyonce did this really well, but if fits so much better to christina. nobody beats her.

[Falln4DarkAngel]

I love how she adds so much Beyonce flair to this song.

[itsmeheyo]

This video is the bomb! Thumbs up if you think so too! Also thumbs up if you have ever ate a baked potato, masturbated, or stubbed your toe!

[CJayBoiTv]

She aint got nothing on christina

[ladyvenom86]

so much better than christina aguilera's version.....

[lylyiz2fly]

i like this becuz she sang it like its suppose it be sung

[dayg715]

Christina buried this mess.

[schuyman007]

Nobody did it like ETTA!!

[NewWorldRob]

HOW FINE IS THAT WOMAN. I WANT THAT WOMAN. STILL

[unvjass1]

I have NEVER heard Beyonce sound as beautiful as she did when she sang for the Obamas... what a FLAWLESS execution of this Etta James timeless classic! <3

[glcan56]

you voice amayzing<3<3

[tarmoul1]

I love Beyonce but Christina is more talentend really!! And I'm sure Beyonce know it!!

[emmanuel11246]

I can't believe she didn't go to the funeral!

[Kristinaprajapati]

beyonce has the greatest voice ever! n when it comes to whose cover's bettr christina or beyonce i think chistina has made the song even bettr by oversingin n beyonce has tried to keep it simple but both songs r after all the same!!

[rodrigooVEVO]

100000 times better than Christina Aguilera. Christina, watch and learn.

[tarmoul1]

Sorry Beyonce But Christina Aguilera Kick your Ass in 2 seconde!!!

[2011EMOKID]

@tarmoul1 in your dreams!!!

[MethylCompound]

I think she did a way better job than Christina. She kept it simple. Christina just OD with her ranges.

[yellowgal06]

This looks like romantic movie. Truly an incredible moment in history. !!

[MrBruceapple]

@stilinRed your right should have invited both singers..Eta could have walked out and joined in and they song it together.....

[unvjass1]

@MrBruceapple - I totally concur... just out of respect, but she did a flawless job and Etta should have been proud...

[NewWorldRob]

@MrBruceapple Yea but it wasn't about Etta James; it was about what the President wanted; well in this case Beyonce. But again I agree with you with respecting her, she was alive at the time [she popularized the song]...that was a slight not inviting her. But it was a slight to Bey what EJ said. She should've been more graceful. R.I.P. To EJ just the same.

[itsmeheyo]

@NewWorldRob ya but etta wasnt part of the illuminate. beyonce and jay-z are

[NewWorldRob]

@itsmeheyo Yes..So I've heard.

Keep in mind we have no absolute proof Beyonce is in league, or that xtina is not.

[StylinRed]

would have been better if Obama invited Etta James to sing this song... if he wanted to capture the youth crowd invite beyonce in addition to Etta

[kanyecheddar1]

@StylinRed i think having beyonce do it was his way of trying to win over more of the youth crowd. Etta should have been pissed at obama not beyonce.

[MyMusic2b]

Beyonce's version of "At Last" is much better than Christina's version. Sure Aguilera has amazing vocal abilities, as well as Beyonce, but Christina has the habit of screaming and adding compassion and anger into a sweet song, her rugged shifting through the notes takes me away from this song, Beyonce did it like it was meant to be.

[tarmoul1]

Christina Aguilera Kick Beyonce's Ass ahahaahha

[310alh]

Clearly she did a good job! Don't know why Etta didn't do it. Oh that's right, because Obama is a socialist prick! Obviously he wanted the celeb points and popularity. Either way Christina in the end is a better singer.

[Hairtherapist31]

Killed christina ....clean not too much christina did etta no justice try again ma it was wack ....b keep recruiting haters

[RCola43133]

Beyonce just sang it and christina owned it

[TheWeirdMexicans]

She obviously didn't do a good job for Etta James herself say it was horrible.

[kanyecheddar1]

@TheWeirdMexicans etta didnt say it was horrible. she was just pissed because obama didnt invite her to do it. she never said it was horrible.

[MrHirroHernan]

BEYONCE CAN KISS CHRISTINA'S ASS!

[umanchez]

CHRISTINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MirandaBubble]

Definitely cried... Lol.

[lyninoamorz]

way better than christina :D

[complexwave]

614 people can hear clearly. 13,715 are still trying to figure out what the hell they just heard and felt bad and therefore clicked the "like" button in hopes that she never sings it again.

[complexwave]

watch?v=TO7XywZSZdc

And Christina Aguilera killed Beyonce. Skip past the long speech and go to 5:34.

Besides that, I just want to say this right here is some bullshit, take that pop and shove it up your ass. Barack and Michelle deserved better. Should've let Etta or Christina sing it...they have soul. Or even Faith Evans or some damn body. They don't have to "growl" create the illusion of power. Beyonce? Get outta here with that shit. You're pop. Always will be, honey.

[Anne4278]

..."well, if I would be given an opportunity to sing to the president and his wife ofcourse I would dress nicely as to Im singing a song to the honored couple... impressive Beyonce...superlike!

[OhaiHasmeen]

I love Beyonce she doesn't try to change the song or do too much.

[kaYboi8o8]

way better than etta james version

[RWMendez01]

Kinda upset that Etta James herself didn't perform this. Obviously she woulda done an amazingly fantastic job...Idk...

[divaquana]

the QUeeN of OUR time guys!

[gracielynn6]

This makes me want to vomit, except for the Beyonce part.

[gracielynn6]

This makes me want to vomit. Except for the Beyonce part.

[sandrasandiford1]

Someone said Christina is a better singer than Beyonce, well not according to the mess up she did at the Etta James Funeral, That was a hot mess, and so was her the way she was dressed.

[complexwave]

@sandrasandiford1 watch?v=TO7XywZSZdc

watch again please. She owned that song. Or maybe you're just hating. Christina is the shit.

[sandrasandiford1]

@complexwave Watching it one time was more then enough.I have no need to be hating on her, SHE IS GREAT SINGER, but you have to admit she over sang that song in Etta James funeral, now I ask you watch Beyonce sing that song At Last , clearly you will see that she sang it better. We have different opiniums, and that should be alright, nothing to fuss over. take care.

[mlemck101]

I think she should have sung at Etta James' funeral considering that she played her in a movie

[kanyecheddar1]

@mlemck101 she couldnt because of this peformance. Etta was pissed at beyonce because she didnt get to peform the song for them.

[spazzical67]

Amazing <33

[mrsIT93]

this is like the most beautiful thing ever...! good grief!

[letmesignxj]

this isnt their wedding, is it? im so confused...

it seems like a mixture of a wedding and beyonce's tour...

[miamibabii77]

@letmesignxj it was the ball when obama became president 

[xxawsumrainbowxx]

DON'T CRY

[tarmoul1]

Christina is more talentend then beyonce! Beyonce is good but she's basic

[3seren]

@tarmoul1 LOL you must be deaf

[canelizbermo1188]

@tarmoul1 ALL

lies

[JoeyHowley98]

Why am I watching this

[AWESMEGUY]

A NIGGER SINGING FOR MUSLUMS SICK

[ShanaBeas]

@AWESMEGUY what a dupa derp you are

[micael561tico]

@AWESMEGUY you are an IDIOT, get over the color issue; DUMBASS.it's 2012.

[naturegirl56]

If I was there I would have been so confused! I wouldn't be sure which side to run to! Beyonce or the President and First Lady? LOL

[dragonlily781]

i heart these two

[tom11zz884]

Christina's version is far superior.

[stemwithswagg]

@tom11zz884 haha yea oversinging is better whatever

[Mrvidse]

Obama got swag

[gonzalete15]

Poor yonka stans

ETTA HATES beyonka

and LOVE CHRISTINA ..thats why they are mad.

Christina was the person who etta and her family would pick..and they picked her to sing in her FUNERAL.

STAY MAD biatch

Celine,whitney,etta,all the greatness prefer Christina over beyonce,they cant compite :)

[geoxby]

Christina over-sings everything live. FACT

[Self971]

@geoxby Beyonce too. ! FACT !

[solo2507]

christina over sang the song. she had too many runs. if christina would have started off and ended off the way she did but kept the middle simple it would have worked. But beyoncedoes it perfect for me.

[DoOtJuH24]

You're not allowed to look more beautiful than the bride, Beyoncé!!! Wow she sounds perfect..

[MartinaAJ]

I think both Christina and Beyonce did great with this song. Instead of comparing them, consider the difference in audience and then you may understand the reason for why they sang the way they did. Time and place make the difference...Beyonce's performance shows she knew the day wasn't about her..was all about President Obama

[MrHirroHernan]

I think Beyonce should Apologize to Etta and Christina for singing this

[itsMauriceCassidy]

XTINA (who is WHITE) showed Beyonce (who is black) how the song should have been sang. HAHAHA. XTINA is jokes

[nblonigan44]

Its such an achievement for African Americans to have a president that keeps fucking this country sideways.

[wlngmgwa2011]

@nblonigan44 Such an achievement that a human butt-plug like yourself can pull your head out of your own ass long enough to write a coherent comment. Pat yourself on the ass, troll.

[nblonigan44]

@wlngmgwa2011 Oh the sound of the ill educated liberal masses.

[zebraprinted22]

@nblonigan44 oh yeah because all the races in presidency were doing soooo much better right ?

-i am hoping you comprehend sarcasm when you see this being that your comment lacks all intellect

[nblonigan44]

@zebraprinted22 I'm pretty sure a monkey could do better than this liberal.

[thugdainty]

this is so precious<3

[2upakaveli]

i always cry when i hear it! much better than etta....she was just bitter....even when she bashed beyonce, beyonce was a lady about it and didnt hit back

[watchMEshyne]

Beyonces version is clearer and more pitch perfect than christinas or ettas.

[Music88Croatia88]

Beyonce should go whatch Xtina's version... I think after that she would never again sing this song again xD no matter it's beautiful version

[watchMEshyne]

i think etta was resentful for beyonce singing the song better than her.

[coolmike84]

i feel that both artist can definitely sing, no doubt however based on this video and the other funeral video, i think christina sung it more with depth and feeling. beyonce sound beautiful but at the same time she didn't hit those high notes and show too much emotion like etta would've sung it.christina has always been in my opinion a more powerful vocalist for her time. till this day a lot of people like her but they still praise other singers over her based on looks and not talent.

[HWhoa55]

i don't even think she's singing live here

[TheN92]

@HWhoa55 Yes she is singing live! What makes you think she's not?

[HWhoa55]

@TheN92 just bc most people don't and the way she looks when she's singing lol idk it just doesn't look like it to me and i wouldn't put it past her. that's all

[TheN92]

@HWhoa55 Well Beyonce always sings live. And she is singing with emotion. You can see it.

[HWhoa55]

@TheN92 agree to disagree. i think she's lip syncing with emotion

[purrtygirl01]

@tarmoul1 no

[purrtygirl01]

beyonce did better than christina aguilera

[jenteressa30]

How about etta's one is better...

[tarmoul1]

Christina aguilera's version is 1000000000000000000 TIMES BETTER

[RoxasC08]

@tarmoul1 christina overdoes her vocals. Beyonce kept it simple yet elegant

[tarmoul1]

@RoxasC08 Beyonce is good she's basic, Etta james and Christina Aguilera are unic

[stemwithswagg]

@tarmoul1 by better do u mean that christina oversang because if thats what u meant then yeah christina is better at oversinging a song

[tarmoul1]

@stemwithswagg no because her voice is more beautiful and more unic than beyonce! Beyonce is good but she's basic

[ltestall]

@stemwithswagg ha ha.ha. so true



[TheN92]

@tarmoul1 No!

[ArmandoEstrada333]

Aww that is so beautiful.

[rayhull5150]

Not since Clinton have we had a president with rhythm! About time!

[kaYboi8o8]

dang obama definitely got some pussy dat night

[ZaeBreezy]

I'm just happy to say I was able to be around & witness such an epic event.

[makamalu]

Beyonce did an amazing job singing her rendition of "At Last". Etta did NOT WRITE THIS SONG, but she most definitely made it famous. It was already 20 years old when Etta began singing this great song. That being said, Beyonce had every right to sing this just as Etta had. Etta doesn't own this song. Awesome job Beyonce Carter! RIP Etta James!

[TheNona2403]

Christina Aguilera has far better voice than Beyonce,but Beyonce sang this song better,with more soul...Just perfect! I love this version more than any other!

[TheShikaidou]

I like both Beyonce and Christina's version. Beyonce is more toned down and is tried to sung proper while Christina's is amped up with longer and higher notes, which is also great. But when it comes to 'for you were mine', it's Christina for me. But they're both good.

[smileeinc]

i thought beyonce and christina both did a great job



[gonzalete15]

Now i know why etta hated beyonce..

SHE IS A BASIC bitch whitout suol, and pasion... she can have control..but her toneis just so boring basic ew

[ToFierce2handle]

@gonzalete15 if beyoncé is basic then  who are you ?? go to starbucks hispter

[WingedSoulies]

@gonzalete15 if i lok at ur channal will i find somthin mind blowing

not even a song

just somthin u are good at, in life

HM!?

WHATS THAT!?!??!?!

NO!?!?!?

[stemwithswagg]

@gonzalete15 u sound like a hater

[lacouerfairy]

This was a beautiful moment that brought tears to many eyes, whether you like Obama or Beyonce or neither. It was a historic American moment.

[Mr19970317]

Amazing! I think she sang it better than Christina at Etta's Funeral

[jsgivens3]

@Mr19970317 definitely! christina's performance was too much and her attire was entirely inappropriate!

[oceanicbluepearl]

GREAT VOICE FROM THE HEAVENS

[oceanicbluepearl]

At Last... its our lovely queen beyonce..

[WhoAmI484]

so touching..makes me cry

[TheN92]

I really think people need to stop comparing both Christina's version and Beyonce's. They are both talented artists that have amazing unique voices. Personally, I love both versions:)

[RoxasC08]

@TheN92 beyonce did better

[TheN92]

@RoxasC08 I respect your opinion but I believe that there is no need for rivalries between Christina Aguilera fans and Beyonce fans. They are both very talented artists:)

[MrTwinkletoes70]

@TheN92 I am both Fan's of the Girls Bee and Miss Thing But I am sorry Christina Fuc*** that song UP! Etta James was trying to get another 6'ft to get away from whatever was comming out Christina's throat!!! My 2 Dogs burried their head as far deep into pillows!! Smart Dog's

[lorena0221]

@MrTwinkletoes70 I'm with you. I could do without all the uuuhhhh. Besides it was a funeral, not a rock concert. Did not like it.

[sublimenal23]

I hope Obama got HAMMERED on this night. I would have.

[Hofffan87]

This version is for the simple minded who can't handle strong raw emotional voices. Beyonce's a good technical singer, but if you're looking for soul, forget it! That's why Etta moves so many people because you can feel what she's singing.

[lawlinat0r]

@Hofffan87 Just because she's not straining her voice and overdoing inappropriate runs like Straintina doesn't mean she doesn't have emotion and soul in this performance. I'm so sick of people thinking yelling and straning is "soul". It's not.

[Hofffan87]

@lawlinat0r who said screaming and straining is part of soul? Christina's voice is naturally loud when she goes full voice and a little raspy when she belts. You can tell she's highly influenced by Etta. Christina's done that rendition of At Last since she came out, but as soon as this Prom Night version was performed in front of the world, Etta was not having it. By the way one of my favorite songs is Countdown. Beyonce can make people move by dancing, but emotionally? Look elsewhere.

[Self971]

@lawlinat0r totally agree. Beyonce everytime shows her emotions and she shows us music is beautiful, and I love look at her face during concerts or live performances. she's showing her emotions. Smile, love ! and she sang simpler version than Christ. but this is way better,cause Christ. didn't want to celebrate Etta at her funeral she just wanted to show us her skills.. but her version is ugly. she yelling and people think that it's soul ...it's annoying . i can't stand it love ya B.

[Hofffan87]

@Self971 People think Christina shows off, she just has a loud powerful voice. She's been doing her rendition of At Last like that since she came out, and Etta didn't mind. In fact she said this to Christina. "It's like you were here many years ago. You don't look exactly like them, but there's something about you that's like Dinah Washington, Billie Holiday, those kinds of chicks. I've never seen a girl sing as tough as you sing, as little as you are. It's like you're an old soul."

[kentan523]

this was a magical moment. it's almost cinematic.

[TheMOFOprincess]

Etta James hated Beyonce. And said Christina Aguilera was the only singer who could sing "At Last" beautifully.

[xVivirDeAmorx]

So much better than Christina's performance. Beyonce should of been the one singing this at Etta's funeral.

[cambokidd215]

@xVivirDeAmorx if beyonce sang at etta's funeral , i think she would literally Roll over and out that coffin and snatch her wig off

[intelligentbanana]

Beyonce's voice is flawless :D

[kakoVonn]

@gonzalete15 wtf, she has absoluty no control over her throat, she needs to fix her crazy rasoiness. beyonce's version was FLAWLESS

[Hyacinth600]

@kakoVonn i agree with you... she has no control @ all and there is no culturing in her voice.....is she for real?

[Mr19970317]

I don't really like Obama, but this performance was FLAW FREE. RIP Etta James we will miss you!

[adarkershadeofbrown]

It doesn't matter who sings the song. You can't please everyone. I preferred Beyonce's version because it was simple, however Christina has a more powerful voice. Both versions had elements of perfection. Nothing is ever going to be perfect, stop expecting it to be.

[gonzalete15]

BORING ,BASIC WHITOUT PASION.

Christina aguilera version>>>>

Etta loves Christina .. and beyonce please stop steal songs..this song is from etta.

[JuniorSpadeTV]

@gonzalete15  Christinas version sucked she can go fuck herself

[roach74432]

I'm still blind in one eye watchin' Christina. I guess I should've used a mirror, this darned eye patch is a nuisance..

[lawlinat0r]

Do yourself all a favor and DO NOT go watch Christina Aguilera's performance of this at Etta's funeral. One of the worst vocal performances I have ever seen.
