Aretha Franklin Singing at Barack Obama's historic inauguration

[PedroViaud]

You and I will never be presidents of a nation, nevertheless we can influence the destiny of human beeings through our example if Jesus is indeed living in us

[kbf1]

Barack was sitting there probably in awe that he has reached the point that the queen of soul was singing at his inauguration. She is incredible!

[johnrocker69]

What was singing about her cunt for?

[xrohanx]

You guys are assholes. Do you know who she is?! Give the woman some respect! She's done her time and she has nothing to prove. She has a beautiful aged voice and it was perfect for that moment..

[tulleymatthew]

i agree with you man shes got the most soul out of most the singers nowadays

and the only reason you couldn't understand what she was singing was because you don't understand soul

[xanamae]

i couldnt understand a word she said, all i got was YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAADEEEEDEEEEE­YEEEEEEE

[franktoney51]

that's because you don't know what soul is about, you have to have walked in the footsteps of some one who have been through the struggle, until you have been there then you wouldn't understand

[xanamae]

im not saying shes a bad singer or anything like that. hell, shes a great singer! i was just confused on the WORDS of the song.

since when does misunderstanding of words have to do with soul?

[Tridion1]

What a way to kill a beautiful song.

[Doily131]

yeah im surprised....it wasnt as good as i thought it would be

couldve gotten someone with alot more soul
