Beyonce Sings "At Last" for President Obama and First Lady's Dance

[JoniseLovesYouu]

Why everybody say she song the song horrible. Beyonce did a great job. Every one sings differently.

[carla31brown]

That bucking horse had no right to sing that song

[tonykmbrgh]

they might hate her or dont like her or envey her but thouth all of that they never never ever say she cant sing she can sing. good job beyonce.they probably was saying who could pull it off etta james at last the first person that poped in to there mind was i bet you beyonce can do it.

[bass2themax2]

yeah cool to see the prez and first lady GROOVE while they dancin'... awesome..

[viper1970025]

[pinoysoul]

sigh*

[Aaril88Cicak]

The Queen of POP & R&B and for our decades, Beyonce Knowles! :) The legendary stars... Love u, B!

[fizzymelody]

Dude, I would so get Beyonce to sing at my inaugural ball.

I don't know what Etta James is so mad about, man.

Beyonce is a force to be reckoned with.

[2012thedevil]

I'm glad that Mariah didn't sing for Obama!!!

Beyonce#1

[MiizSiimplydaBest]

Beyonce iis number one she sung da shyt out off dat sung

[Kenandave]

Etta need to surrender and forever shut her ass up, cause Beoncye brought on the soul. That is that and it is now over.

[Thkmra]

NOT!!!! If anything her version lacks the soul that Etta who is eternally libked to this song brought! Beyonce once again made a classic into pop jig..........//

[CPereiraa]

BEYONCE YOU ARE THE BEST :D

[Lindow]

It's so sweet to see how touched she is being a black girl singing for the first African-American President in history. I'm so happy for all of them! It must feel to them like they can finally forget about what they have been through just because of the colour of their skin. About time I say!!

[DIMPSISSEXY]

I AGREE WITH maddywebster95 BUT HE'S NOT 100% BLACK THATS THE THING..HE'S HALF WHITE SO THE HYPE IS 4 NOTHING...BUT HE'S GOOD SO FAR!!!

[maddywebster95]

people are only so proud to have obama as president cause hes black...if he were white u would all be complaining about him by now.

[issieeexo]

yea he is the FIRST black president and by far the nicest, and dont be such a bitch!

[maddywebster95]

i'm not argueing that hes not "nice", or that he shouldn't have been elected. all i'm saying is that if mccain were black, he would have won,

[issieeexo]

well everybody loves him sooooo, nothing you can do about it sweet cheeks. get a life.

[maddywebster95]

ur such a tool "sweet cheeks"? if u weren't so fucking defensive you would have read what i said and seen that i wanted him to win, all i'm saying is i think that some people voted for him just because he is black.

[HollywoodAman]

thank u mr.president for everyday nd forever

[nicks1bbdoll]

beyonce gives me chills too ... but not the good kind it's like scratching nails on a chalkboard!

[JoelPopcountertenor]

christina's version on her first dvd at a party was better. But oh well there is the original Etta James too :)

[grandmascrappie]

what an honor to sing for them, im getnn all choked up, thats a brave man right there...go boy go, its about time we bot a man with some cahones to lead us into gooidness. and a good strong women to have his back, right on

[cherd1971]

simply amazing :)

[nicks1bbdoll]

she can't hold a candle to etta james! they should have got someone real to sing this song she sounded like shit!

[BrasilianJ]

you sir are either simply bias towards etta or just deaf.

[BrasilianJ]

although, I will admit etta is brilliant with this song also

[roxasroks]

Nah she was fine. She can certainly sing better than most of the mainstream artists these days.

[bassbassbass38]

Ok. After thinking, maybe I should give Beyonce the benefit of the doubt. This performance was pretty canned, with out any real reaction with other musicians like Etta always has. Maybe Beyonce would sound better with a real band, who knows?

...but I doubt she would know what to do...

[bassbassbass38]

Hey, Beyonce, have you ever heard of using space? Why do you have to fill up every moment with those annoying runs up and down scales, and... why do you sing at the same volume all the time...not sexy. That doesn't make me want you...

...I'll take Etta James over this any day. She sings it way, WAY sexier. :-)

I think a lot of people just like Beyonce cuz she looks good. Close your eyes, listen to Beyonce, then listen to Etta. Etta knew how to use space and inflection.

[sixfobrutha]

Yea well they didnt ask Etta. And they shouldn't have. Beyonce' was perfect.

[DuhPinayPrincezz]

DAMN, BEY0NCE'S V0iCE GiVES ME CHiLSS WHEN SHE SiNGS ME THiS S0NG! HER V0iCE iS BY000TiFULL!!

[aminuk23]

i bet mr oba! wana fuck the shit of beyonce ass maybe three some with his wife, lol

[sixfobrutha]

And no disrespect to Etta, but this was SUPPOSED to be sung by Beyonce. It wouldnt have been as magical, otherwise.

[sixfobrutha]

This will always be one of American Television's greatest musical moments.

[LadieFl]

Damn dude. Beyonce ceases to shock me. Whenever you think she can't go any harder she does.

She brought me to tears for real.

I see why Etta James was upset Beyonce sang her song for the president, she did a HELL OF A JOB!!!

BEAUTIFUL! JUS BEAUTIFUL!!

[AlbaMayo]

that made me tear up.

[Urlittlebabi]

wow what a honor for beyonce

shes a goddess!

[bltrnnicole]

Obama wants to bang Beyonce.

[sixfobrutha]

Lmao U crazy as hell!!!!!!!!!

[NativeStar21]

beyonce rocked this song!!!! i love her... Im so happy for Obama and the 1st lady!!! whooooooooo awesome!!!!

[Danniika91]

just amazing..tear

[SexySasha2000]

I would be jealous if I was etta as well..that's ETTA'S song...but Beyonce did WONDERFUL..I love the riffs at the end absolutely beautiful and I normally cant stand Beyonce but I give props when it's due

[sterries]

LOL!! Did u guys see Barack sneak a look at Beyonce @ 2:36?? LOL!!!! Then Michelle looked up at him like what the FUCK are you looking at?!?

[SexySasha2000]

Thats not true...Michelle had her head down she did not see him open his eyes. Michelle is totally confident in her marriage. Are you kidding ? Did you not see them looking so lovingly at each other ? Beyonce is nice to look at but the prettiest woman on earth wont tempt a husband that TRULY loves his wife...Beyonce looked GORGEOUS btw

[sterries]

Watch it again. Notice they are dancing in a circle. Everytime Barack's direction is facing Beyonce, Michelle looks up at him so he doesnt look at Bey. The one time Michelle dont look up, Barack sneaks a look at Bey. Right afetr he does that, Michelle looks at Barack mad HARD because she new what just went on behind her back. Notice, that's when she looked at him the longest! She looked at him like "I gotta smile now because these cameras in my face, but when we get home Ima f@ck you up!

[Danniika91]

LMAO!!!!

[betterrylol]

lol nice vid...eyonce is so pretty but is she wearing a wig in this vid?

[ShahrilAhad]

Christina Aguilera can't hit high and low notes like Beyonce Knowles do.. so she is the only female singer that is honoured to sing this songs and able to do it.. I bet Etta James would love her songs sang by Beyonce. =p Beyonce looks remarkable gorgeous and angel, the powerful nature of her voice makes millions hearts admired her soo much.

[GETTHATJUMPROPE]

Is it just me or does beyonce sound way better than etta james?

[marija073]

it would have been much better if christina aguilera sang this song.

[hamiltoncj]

Smooth Obama Operator!

[starsturck]

beyonce is an angle i love her

[tygereyez5909]

Etta James Rules. . . Lol the lady is a joker She's gonna Woop B. . .ha hah ah ah ah lmao imagine that sorry no offence to any one. . .

[nemesis8818]

etta was obviously jealous ,,,,,,

[HotChocolate0817]

um, Beyonce, is the shit, she kelt that song, and if it would of been anyone else, she wouldn't never had gotten mad, but just because it was BEYONCE, she got a fit. But u can tell, all in Beyonce face, she really didn't want to sing that lady's song, but she still killed that shit, that;s my nigga, u dig.

[zecnobot]

That's right!

[hankbluvr]

beyonce looks like a monkey

[rasv01]

well, Etta James doesn't deserve to sign her own song in this inauguration, she never supported Obama. and now that he won, Etta wanted to be there, sing there, and cheer them.

beside I understand Etta for her anger, but now nagging would only make Etta look like a mad whiner.

[salia3939]

NO! NO! NO! and again NO! beyonce' has no range in her voice. They shouldv'e let etta sing her own song. She would have sang her song waaaaaaaaayyyyyy better

[mike45014]

Its not ettas song go do your homework

[wnaza21]

Etta James Should Sing This Song..!! Etta Always Have Her Own Classic Voice And More Original ...Or People In White House Don't Know Who Is Etta James..?? But I Have Nothing Againts Beyonce..She's Great Too..

[monicarwells2]

Didnt I tell ya'll????? Etta coulve sang her own damn song. lol. told ya'll she would snap and she did. Etta aint no joke. say that beyonce gone get her ass whooped. Gotta love B. with her no comment.. so classy.

[nicks1bbdoll]

she will never be as good as etta james ,they should have had whitney houston sing it!

[dnickiec]

Whitney can't sing anymore - you know crack is wack. I love Whitney and I wish she could have sang - I told my husband that it shoudl be Whitney

[VinnyChambers]

i wanna see obama dancing to hip hop. :D that'd be brilliant. lol nah, but this was cool.

[daneishababyd]

Man tharts kerry washington

[itsMauriceCassidy]

so emotional :)

Made me cry

[skelotan]

So proud to claim you as our First Family!

[ridgeracer77]

Her voice really isn't that great. Her sister actually has a much better voice.

[HALLA25]

naw chill beyonce aLL DAY EVERYONE KNOWS THAT SHE SINGS BETTER THAN SOLANGE

[christinechantel11]

Singing for the president must be amazing !!

[tdottle246]

beyonce did an amazing job, im suprised nerves and emotions did not take over

[Mrben0130]

Beyonce really sang with heart in this performance as anyone can see she got a little emotional at the end... This was really great!!

[jasonqueue]

is that anne hathaway on the right at 1:45 ???

[cchenactor]

I think that is actually singer Rihanna standing to the right of Vanessa Williams (and crying) ... anyone else able to confirm that?

[500070]

i cried...at last...

[jasonqueue]

ha! wow, i think you're right! well, they're both wonderfully beautiful ladies... my mistake :)

[br1baby]

@cchenactor I think that might be the actress Kerry Washington. Not positive though.

[zackthedumbone99]

@cchenactor noo. it's neither anne hathaway or rihanna. idk who it is. i don't think she's famous

[roxursox22]

i dont think so... think its rihanna

[beaufornillos]

@jasonqueue It's Kerry Washington

[Sunshine24co2003]

@jasonqueue that looks like kelly rowland next to vanessa williams

[Sunshine24co2003]

@jasonqueue actually it just may be kerry washington...

[SHAWTiiSzATEN]

they are sucha beautifull couple:))

cute...excited!!

[gohatto203]

Fantastique, finaly a president dats gonna be great!!!! i love the fact that OBAMA is president!! Its a big inprouvment for the world!!! OBAMA ruls!! hell yeah... and beyonce has a fantastique voice!!!

Its all wonderfull!!!! i do not have enough words to express how great that all is!!!! safe to all of yah!!

[lightacandle5]

Fabulous performance by a fabulous singer! What a glorious way to close out a momentous day in our country's history!!! My prayers are with you, President Obama!!! You have my full support!!!

[jessimie]

Sooo Beautiful ! OMG ! :D

[qtwilly]

Miss B blew this song apart, and how fitting.

Peace to President Obama! And a stance he's made for black people all over the world.

Proud Black Indigenous Aussie~!

[bevmuzzy]

Beyonce you sing so beautiful and I can not get the song out of my head. Beautifully done girl. You brought tears to my eyes. Such class.

bevmuzzy

[SupremeQueen11]

So Beautiful.... Brought Tears To My Eyes!

[MARIAHTHEBABYGIRL]

it's an INCREDIBLE Couple, they seems to be so IN LOVE !!!

GOD BLESS THEM !!!

[gdtimay]

YES!!!!

[Hermione6201]

I may not agree with democrats on social issues but no one can deny Obama is just a cool guy and I just love seeing him and Michelle together. You can tell they are truly happy to be together and are wonderful parents. Its so much fun just watching them together because you can tell they are in love. And Beyonce sang the heck out of this, man she has some pipes!!!

[lboseman]

Simply beautiful to see this couple model for us what true marital bliss can be. The moment was intimate, yet shared with each of us!!! The song was song beautifully by Beyonce who appeared to be honored and touched. What a wonderful example, at last...

[samcooke2000]

Strange to see Beyonce on stage with the cameras pointing AWAY from her.

[BJR101]

That shit was Nice, made me tear!!!!!

[livi51592]

Beyonce is simply a classy singer who is honored to be singing for two classy people. Simple as that!

[BrasilianJ]

I never thought id see someone as famous as her look so... well honored I guess is the word. I mean you always think about how great it would be if you met a star or got to do something like sing or perform for them, and to see Beyonce look so honored to be in front of this man was just something good to see. Embrace this feeling of hope America because we've been longing for it for quite some time.

[monicarwells2]

Of course beyonce was in complete AWW. She had to be honored to be asked to sing.. Beyonce is not a hoochie I wish ppl would stop saying that she has THEME AND STYLE DUH. HER OUTFITS MATCH THE MUSIC..

[beatbodega21]

I have to admit that my Mom never really liked Beyonce' because she thought she was a hoochie. She kept saying that she hopes she's respectful and doesn't try to steal the spot light from Michelle Obama. After she witnessed this she was crying and saying that she couldn't believe how humble she was. She could see the awe ans respect on Beyonce's face and now she is a huge fan!!!!!!

[jennie7272]

Love it! How beautiful! I just broke into tears when I saw how beautiful they look dancing together, you can see how much they love each other and you can tell they are really happy!!! Beyonce was a perfect touch as well! Just love her voice, wonderful beautiful voice.

[SHORTISPRINCESS]

One of the world's most beautiful couple, our 1st couple yay!!!! Beyonce sang the heck out of that song

[got2bjab]

A truly beautiful thang. God bless this country, God bless the world.....

[missfashionista2]

WOW....she sang sooo GOOD....beyonce feels soooOO Honoured...it shows on her face and she is quite happy with the president.That shows!!

[coledmarie]

The honor Beyonce felt showed on her face and it made me cry. Absolutely beautiful.

[CptBlkAmerica]

For all those who still think Beyonce can't blow... behold greatness, she is a vision of beauty in too many ways to describe.

[MrDistinction]

Amen

[CptBlkAmerica]

I have only one word for Beyonce... Wow!

And only a few words for the first couple... This was one of the most amazing moments I've ever seen on film, better than any movie dance scene I ever witnessed

[germyw]

I just can't see it enough times. It takes me waaay back. I am so proud of them. This is my big paycheck for the two years that I worked in the campaign

[melharrison06]

this was very nice! obama is very suave

[TBro278]

its like they are a celebrity couple almost as much as they are the President and First Lady....I remember thinking Clinton had some Hollywood might at his first inaugural...Nothing like this year

[diamondofdistinction]

what an amazing honor to be asked to sing for the President and first lady. Wow! Once in a lifetime.

[ShipperChick]

OK, even this die-hard Republican thinks this is probably one of the sweetest, neatest moments I've seen in a long long time..........

[Spg69200]

SO CUTE. michelle's dress is so stunning. don't love beyonces but damn she can sing that song was amazing! That was so cuteeee

[mz1nnocent]

Beyonce gave me goosebumps...her voice is amazing!

[haydemunch]

jesus that was emotional

[BrokeredHeart]

what a defining moment for both of them! Kudos to Beyonce for keeping it together. Watching this at a friend's party, we were ALL in tears last night. And then mowed down on brownies.

[1helluvawomen]

LOL

[monicarwells2]

What a tear jerker omg!! I cldnt stop the tears. what an amazing choice of song...

[AimeeViolette]

[3SG413]

[vanessam631]

Obama is the only one who can solve the global economic problem, I hope so. This time the U.S. has to choose the best option. Congratulations and greetings from Spain.

This was a beautiful moment that will be historic

[smd46]

she really did enjoy singing for them..she started 2 cry at the end.

[COCKY011]

im so happy they picked beyonce to sing i did drop a tear well a few and truthfully u feel close to the obamas like they are real and like u can talk to them and be yourself around them like they dont judge .. this is love class and a true leaded usa has never seen a leader with this kind of spirit we shall over come and i just hope that people that are racist open there hearts to this man and all of us lets all get along and make this a better world

[38Amal]

You can tell Beyonce was just so so happy and proud to be singing the song to them. Beautiful moment!

[flip2485]

this moment is amazing and here's why. beyonce knows it's not about her. she knocked it out of the park and gave me chills, but she is so humbled just to be in their presence and doesn't take it for granted. true class from an incredible talent. love her, love them.

[horus1971]

What a classical/historical moment this was.  America chose well this time!

[Carmensbabii]

THIS is love :)

[huggybobo88]

I really think obama will be one of our best presidents!

[carenkaganevans]

Beyonce is totally amazing. And last night she totally out did herself! What an honor for her and what a treat for all of us!

[rufus317]

[Aarikaisinlove]

Obamas Rocks! I love Beyonce! I love you Mr. President! You do your thing im so proud of each every moment of 1/20/09 omg this beautiful we are blessed!

[peacestarchild]

[Pinkonly09]

This is very classic. The first African- American President and his First Lady. The song is very appropriate and Mrs. Carter "B" sang this song with purpose, emotion, & so much conviction. It is so perfect for both situations hers and The Obamas Congratulations America, AT LAST!

[mizznene]

[jarrell1e]

If they would have kissed I would have fell out and cried!

Beyonce did an excellent job! I like Beyonce's music, but this (and her comments after) really made me like her even more. It is surreal to see such beautyful brown people in places where so much sacrifice has been made. Thank's for posting this, I missed it last night. At Last...that's baby making music!

[jarrell1e]

I meant beautiful. I know how to spell!

[barriner88]

I was never a big beyonce fan either, but she killed it. For once she didn't over due it and it wasn't all about her. I loved this dance the most out of all of them. Congrats to Mr. President :-)

[charmagne2]

not a Beyonce fan but have to admit...She sang the hell outta that song and she looked beautiful.... love the part when she sings the part... "for you are mine at last"...At Last indeed=)

[iriesister]

Beyonce Killed it!! Go Beyonce!

[sweetab24]
