  • i thot alicia keys said OOo it stinks after mariah carey sang her part LOL

  • Mariah Carey is crap

  • I'm sorry but that BABY at 3:11 just killed me! MC!!!!

  • 3:11 Beyonce like "danngg who dat" its MC BITTCCH! LOL

  • Shakira did very well here. Just because her voice is different, doesn't make it worse. Her contralto vocal range didn't suit the song but she did very well with her abilities. To be honest, I loved her run at the end, made me wanna go 'fuck yeah, this song has powahhh' I think I'm the only one who found Beyonces part so boring despite the fact she's a wicked belter. Don't hate, appreciate. Peace.

  • No matter what, Alicia Keys and Beyoncé are the greatest singers of all the time. In this video, Beyoncé is doing just the basic, the simple, cause she doesn't need to show nothing, we all know what she can do, and Alicia is giving us a little demonstration of her power. The rest, we'll, you're very good [Stevie Wonder is faboulous]. ((Sorry for my english, i'm brazilian))

  • what IS it about THIS song? MOTOWN, as ALWAYS, AHEAD of its time. i began RE-LOVING it, appreciating its MAGNIFICENCE long before it became PRESIDENT OBAMA's theme song. who would have known, who could have guessed it, when first DELIVERED back in the 70's? i wish he could be PRESIDENT forever! HATERS making themselves so obvious. PURE jealousy!

  • Stevie Wonder should have sang the whole thing. fuck them i know i'm an asshole . whatever i accept it

  • Some people here are overdoing the song..Beyonce, Mary J, Mariah and few others are good. Rest are all trying too hard... Especially Shakira and Alicia Keys, we all know you can sing, but please don't show off here...

  • Mariah in 3:13 amazing babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­

  • Poor Adam Levine, he had to go after Alicia Keys. He must've picked the short straw :/

  • I loved how Beyonce and Alicia's attention was at Mariah when she started singing.

  • alicia keys has weak vocals..fact!!

  • @huluvzcousinbenson Wrong Alicia Keys was the best part of this performance. Mariah Carey was better back in the day, but none of them compare to A.K. vocally. Just go to 3:32, that's power my friend!!!

  • @diggymayne91 I agree, Alicia was on point at 3:32. She's probably the most underappreciated singer in the business. I guess it's because she doesn't take her clothes off when she performs lol

  • @darria6 I wouldn't say that she's the most underappreciated singer in the music. She's a very successful singer and many people praised her for her incredible artistry and including her vocals. Her vocals on Songs in A Minor was highly praised. It's just jackasses who are not fans of hers that says that. They are the haters.

  • @huluvzcousinbenson No she doesn't! Her vocals were on point and her F5 in chest voice was powerful. The only weak thing was your statement! #FAIL

  • : I like when Alica & Beyonce were getting their groove on together at 2:43... it was very cute! They can totally be related!

  • what the hell was shakira singing??? she sounded a hot mess lol and that other white dude lol

  • LMAO at Jamie Foxx:Beyonce!!!(turns and stares)

  • mary j blidge and alicia toe this part up..i felt they did the best..that yell alicia did was on point and marys flow with the song was perfect

  • @markknize Beyonce did better as always!!!!

  • Loved Beyonce c:

  • Mariah showed them all who has the legendary voice! Mariah Carey! What a D5, out of this world!

  • yes we can, yes we will and baby yes we did.

  • what cave did Sting come out of?

  • what is mariah carey? the background singer?

  • Why they didn't like shakira all i know she had a great performance there

  • autsch .,

  • This seems like a competition of "who shouts louder"

    Shakira was invited because she is able to sing. She is a contralto singer.This kinda music (and unfortunatelly her commercial music) is not for her POTENT voice.

    I don't understand why almost all american female singers have shrilly voices.

    They love shouting heyyy or yeahhhh xD, beautiful, but sometimes funny.

  • Obama looks so fucking cool here, loved it!!

  • Well that was wack. Did they forget Jaimie Foxx can sing?

  • Shakira -.-

  • Faith Hill? Way to take all the soul right out of it... And Shakira... well... antisemites are terrible at everything.,

  • Shakira should sing the hole song LOVE HER VIOCE

  • PFFFFFF!!! What a bunch a gay shit! lol! :D

  • they got all dumped by MARIAH CAREY!!! thats our MC... BY the way the maroon 5 is so hot :))

  • they got all dumped by MARIAH CAREY!!! thats our MC

  • @blahblah0614 LMAO!! agreed!! Good Lord all that yodaling lol

  • that note alicia hit at 3:32 was amazing!

  • @blahblah0614....LMAO,

  • Ma boy OBEEZY GOT RHYTHM!LOL

  • I know Alicia was happy Stevie is her favorite artist. Love this!!

  • at LEAST this GROUP looks like what AMERICA SHOULD LOOK LIKE. if this was a REP party or GOD forbid...TEEE PARTY----it would look like 'EUROPE.'

  • The Obama's are sooooo COOL!!!!

  • It's not really Faith's song. ;)

  • 0.0 didnt they have rehearsals before this? that song should have not came out sounding like that

  • OMGGG i CANT w/ Shakira that run was a mess!

  • this looked like a whole lot of fun i wish i were there too

    Mr. President do you wanna do the bump? @ 4:28 lol

  • this looked like a whole lot of fun i wish i were there too

  • Mccain & palin should of won...stevie wonder ftw! <33

  • all hail queen mariah.

  • @applmac2009 she act like she dont no what to do

  • @tae392 she is trying to not steal the show with her whistle register

  • @applmac2009 she cant steal the show with beyonce an alicia there

  • @tae392 yea you think that

  • @applmac2009 i no it

  • @tae392 the fact is mariah did'nt show off. Because if she did she would have overtaken everybody

  • @applmac2009 she cant take over cause the queen was in the house

  • @tae392 mariah is the queen

  • @applmac2009 of

  • @tae392 octaves, melisma, hits, whistle register, the 90's, songwriting, pop, hip-pop(Fantasy Remix with odb) must i continue.

  • @tae392 EVERYTHING fuckstick...if you haven't noticed Mariah doesn't show boat when doing roup ensembles because she has some tact.

  • @ACsingsBlues2010 fuck u an mariah

  • alicia and beyonce was bout too break out in that electric slide right at the neighborhood ball lol ... MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK!

  • Only reason Nick got this gig was his wife was taking part

  • shakira sounded a MESS!!!!

  • shakira...booo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! boooo booo boo, her part made me just as mad today as it did that night!

  • mariah carey sounded great on this performance!! loud and clear notes from her!!! the best!!!

  • beyonce and alicia

    are the best

    hate mariah carey though

  • well, to be fair, none of them sounded amazing, I guess it was because they were standing so close together and "dancing". Mary and Mariah were great though. Alicia was good, but not all that. Everybody else (besides Beyonce maybe) was just...blah.

  • Maroon's 5 voice cracked...

  • Shakira a mess!

  • of course they are all good singers (exept shakira that sucks),but STEVIE "wonda" wonder is THE boss.absolutely.

  • How was Shakira allowed to perform, was Enrique Iglesias not available?

  • @utterbullspit whats wrong with being different...?

  • @MrGhettown If by different you mean horrendous, then there is a lot wrong with being different.

  • Nice to know Obama and his wife are blessed. Thank you lord one of my dreams come true......I Believe I have Faith. Hope Love Joy.

  • Beyonce and Alicia Keys was amazing!!! :D <3 Shakira sounded so weird... :P

  • Comment removed

  • WOW..Beyonce and Alicia rock!!!

  • For a black president he doesent have much rytm in himself :D

  • woww still think about that day YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEES­SSSSS

    we did

  • Alicia killed that note at 3:30! only she can do that!

  • What's the song that starts at 5:02 ???

  • @bade34 'Do I Do' Stevie Wonder

  • @maggypro i didnt even say faith hill could sing anyways so wat u going on about :/ Mariah Carey has gone shit...end off

  • i hate alicia keys...i feel like the only reason she screamed like her cooch was on fire was too try and out do everyone. she has deff lost some brownie point since she first came out. her voice sounds terrible now. but when mariah belted out that note she killed the whole thing ( in a good way ) i feel like they didnt let her sing at all...shes the best singer on there. i hate mary too, she doesnt sing she screams her ass off...and its annoying.

  • @daven688 what are you talking about? Mariah practically ruined the song! Alicia saved her from epically failing.....

  • @dnt124 omg r u serious? alicia keys is soo raspy andd her control is based on yelling and hoping for the best. mariah soo so in control of her voice and when she belted alicia felt she had too try and out do her and just sounded like an complete idiot.

  • @daven688 if you saw Mariah's performance of "Hero", her voice awan't at her best. I do love Mariah but I don't think her voice was good that night. Now Alicia did great and Mariah did not belt out any good notes during this performance. you really don't know who was singign well that night if You said Mary and Alicia did horrible. shut the hell up you know nothing. Im glad they didn't let maraih song a huge part because she wasn't at her best.

  • @dnt124 ok did u hear the note right b4 the camera went too mariah it was crazy and hero ill admit wasnt her best but honestly mary doesnt sing anymore her voice has gotten scratchy and beyond pitchy. and alicia has already peaked at whatever is she was gonna do. her songs are soo tired thats why u barely hear them anymore. i why dont u shut up..thats why mariah is known as the voice and those two r wannabes.

  • Faith Hill looked like Olivia Newton John when she first started singing! Beyonce and Alicia keys just amazing :) Shakira and Mariah Carey i think kinda ruined the song

  • @jellytots2008 well youre wrong .

    mariah kicked ass

  • im not gonna lie, i was a little sad that the obamas didnt start daggering

  • loved it but mariah carey looks so cheap!

  • What a wonderful country I live in.

    USA USA USA USA !!!!!!

  • lol at the lady in the white dress dancing behind the Obama's at 1:53 bahahah i honestly cannot contain myself.

    STEEEEVIE, Alicia Keys & Beyonce make this ;)

  • @KungFuKlee LMFAO AGREEEDDDD :L

  • lol at the lady in the white dress dancing behind the Obama's at 1:53 bahahah i honestly cannot contain myself.

    STEEEEVIE, Alicia Keys & Beyonce make this ;)

  • mariah killed it! shes great on harmonizing.

  • @ghettoclaw mariah did nothing here ...

  • Comment removed

  • alicia keys was awesome man, the best

  • alicia, mariah, shakira

    why are you even at the ball bey? you were the only US celeb on world tour until 3 months before the election?

  • I LOVE U STEVIE WONDERRRR!

  • Maybe this isnt the best song for some of the people on stage

  • Shakira amazing!!!

  • shakira fucked it up...mary did her thing, and adam levine is fine, and can sing...of beyonce can blow them out the box

  • This was a fun performance, but the two performances with Stevie later that night were much better. Sting and Stevie killed it on "Brand New Day".

  • Shakiraaaaaaaaaaaa

  • they all were amazing except Shakira and Mariah :S beyonce, alicia keys, MJB <3

  • Notice how modest most of the ladies are dressed. Did they forget to send the memo to Mariah?

  • thank God they didn't have shakira sing this whole song by herself :/

  • @blahblah0614 why??.... do you say that!!..

  • @cjp21023 lol she's talented, but she's ruining stevie's song

  • The beginning of Mariah's part was awesome, then it kinda...fell apart. It seemed that the others overpowered her part and the camera wasn't focused on her too...

  • I know this is really irrelevant, but it's kind of cool to see a president and first lady who can actually dance. Plus they are both smart individuals.

  • 3:13 and 3:19 Mariah hit those notes dead on.

  • Only one to match the high pitch of Stevie..... : Alicia Keys...

  • Bee, Stevie, MJB ;-)

  • kinda sucks they didn't show mariah hitting her notes, she stood her man between the rest, still the voice

  • Shakira Sounds Awful and since when did Sting decide to grow a beard?

  • @jellytots2008  that's Sting?! i didn't recognize him. i kept calling him "that old dude."

  • i know it's sting haha i was just saying like when did he decide to grow facial hair?

  • shakira really shouldn't be singing this song.

    and faith hill, for the loss.

    where was the high note? ha

  • @bangimaoutlaw why??

  • @cjp21023 her voice just doesn't lend to funk music, not to mention the fact that her runs were out of key at the end.

    and faith hill completely skipped the high note that stevie wonder did in the original, and it just felt like a cop-out. mary j blige was the only one who killed it.

  • shakira really shouldnt have been der...she messed dat part up so bad...mariah should have sang her part.. honestly...shakira can dance her butt off but she cant sing to save her life....sorry but i speak da ruth...

  • Beyonceee love youu!! you killed it that fresh voice!!!

  • It seems like Faith rushed through her verse and didn't inflect at all. And what did Mariah do? She got stuck on background chorus? lol

  • Gotta love the president doing the bump with the girl at 4:32!

  • I liked Shakira's part. It was really powerful and picked up the song. Got me into it! =D They were all fantastic!

  • Alicia and Beyonce always bring it home :)

  • @2legit2quit13 an mary j

  • @tae392

    Definitely Mary J too! I agree

  • @2legit2quit13 don't forget mary!!!

  • Mariah && Beyonce 4eva!!

  • shakira sounds like a goat

  • NOPE.. more like a horse!..lol

  • Shakira shouldnt have been there,,, she sucks at singing.. i hate her soo much

  • shakira sounded like hell!!!

  • Shakira and Mary J have powerful voices. I love them. Damn

  • they should have all shut up and let Stevie sing the song. cause they all looked realyl confused....

  • LOve it!!

  • Stevie , Alicia and Mary had the soul of the song really goin' on!

  • Mariah seems to be struggling. Is something wrong with her voice. She still sings beautifully though.

  • yes there is something wrong - she's had vocal nodules for many years. Although, I thought when she sang "here I am baby", she did really well.

  • 2:13 very nice!!

  • SHAKIRA THE BESSSSSSSSST

  • almost 6 months later and this still gives me chills....they did reeeeeeeeeal good, this is MUCH BETTER than soul train if I say so myself

  • could you ever see republicans putting on a celebration this cool?

  • There should have been more of Alicia Keys.. She is a goddess and a talented artist....

    Her talent was god given, and that was a beautiful performance!

  • AMAZING!!!!!!!

  • wish they had included sting more

    but awesome performance by all artists!

  • Wow Mariah hit D5 chestvoice here...Others are not high as Mariah...I hope Mariah did some multi octave whistle register here...to make some poor minded haters shut their mouth

  • Yes Mariah hit the high note then forgot the words to the song? :(

  • Well I think you need to hear the track STEVIE ft. BLUE...Mariah's part was just (You got my future in your hands)...She didn't forgot here line...That part is repeating...Bother to hear the original version before you criticize

  • How about you replay Mariah's part and read what you wrote. Her mouth was NOT saying

    "You got my future in your hands". Only part audible was hands. Her mouth didnt match up with the other part and she wasn't even audible between Baby and Hands.She is a great singer but she clearly goofed here.

  • Wow are you sub kind a def???...repeat Mariah's part...Its clear that she sang "You got my future in your hands"...I want you to think that this is singing not reading

  • "Sub kind a def?

    I'm sorry sweetie you are right. I won't argue with you anymore. I hear it now. You are one of those special kids that ride on a compact yellow bus. Had I known it previously, I would have just played along and agreed. =)

  • erm Alicia hit an F5/E5in chest voice here

  • Oww really???...But though...I didn't say all...I said OTHERS...

  • oh by other's i thought u meant all the others in this song, lol never mind

  • wow beyonce is awesome ...they're all great

  • Thanks, but I mean the music in the first five seconds....

  • Can somebody tell me, what song the upbeat tune is?

  • signed sealed deliver by stevie wonder

  • Shakira, oh my god O_o

  • Greatful Greetings from Germany!!

  • Wow Shakira I love u, great performance

  • Adam def has some black in him, lol

  • Shakira is the sexiest girl in the stage captain!, and shes from my land! What a thrill to have her sing in honor of a great man :)

  • I love that Beyonce and Alicia Keys respect each other. When Beyonce is singing you can hear Alicia Keys saying "Sing it, girl!" And then you can see them dancing together later in the video. It's nice to see the two ladies on top of the music industry not fighting each other.

  • I would love that MJ was there,but he wasn't at that time in music,but he is back
