17/17 Beyonce @ Barack Obama Inauguration Opening Concert 1/18/09

[gypseyes]

This was all the days before the actual inauguration, right? I think I saw all this on the t.v.- it was sooo cold out that week.

[wojo4hitz]

@gypseyes yes, it was two days before the inauguration. and yes, it was COLD!!!!

[j69d]

and a cool president if that! they chose the perfect person to sing the anthem no one else could make it better than that

[AtulRao]

I don't care if he's black, white or green... I thank God for a good decent president!~!!

[markstine01]

quadriple the national debt...yeah great president....

idiot....we have to pay back all the spending he and his idot backing in congress are doindg..

[Overst33r]

You thank jesus for a black president.. ill thank the japs for pearl harbour. what im saying is.. black or white youll still be fucked coz i think he will slowly turn alottt more white people against him / the black population due to biased decisions. thats what i think..

ps. GORDON BROWN IS A STUPID BASTARD AND I HATE MY COUNTRY FOR THAT REASON ONLY LOL

[bre615]

I still can't believe it! A black man, is the President of the United States. I just wish my Ancestors could see this! But I know that they are watching in spirit.

Thank you Jesus! Whooo~ a big burden off my shoulders.

[elyctronic]

Jesus really got nothin' to do with it, you americans are all even in stupidity thinkin' it's a god thing it's nothin' butt a good campagne and multiple million dollars invested in it. God really isn't gonna help with that... !! And after 8 years Bush it's not a very hard decission.

sorry for my English

[ytzmefrjam]

All the people who hate it that a man of color is President of "their" country I want you to know that a thank GOD for you an hope he will Keep you safe for obama's 2nd win. Becaz I know it kills you inside and thats more than actual death. Suicide is not that bad when you think of!!!! AH AH AH!!! Have a great day Ya'll

[taricka06]

To black classic and any other non believers: all those things had to happen to prove to none believers like you that there is a God! Blacks,white,mexicans or any other race wouldnt be were they are today without the all mighty, the all knowing, and the God of all hope.History happens so that a testimony can be told, and some curious mind would come running asking what must i do to know such a Person to deliever, save, and set free of all harm, shame, and unhappiness.

[blackclassics]

taricka06, I've heard that before, 'Bad things happen so god can/could prove he's god. That doesn't really make since. What if your mom or dad tried to drown you in the tub at age ten but just before you died they pulled you up then hugged and kissed you. Does that prove they are good parents or crazy people? We defend god. Funny thing, every story I've heard is god creating man but know one stops to think ,hey, 'did man ask to be made?' Maybe deep down we don't even like god.

[bre615]

it's God with a capital "G". not god with a little "g". Yes, their is a diffrence. G-o-d is the creator, Jesus Christ. g-o-d is all of the false gods like all statue gods and so fourth. If it ain't Jesus Christ, then it is god. Jesus Christ, then it is God.

God= Jeus Christ,1 and only

god= Statue gods and so fourth.

[blacktee]

African American's are just proud to see someone of our race as president. There is nothing wrong with us rejoicing and being proud of what he was able to accomplish. Anyone who has anything negative to say is just simply bitter! Those people who cant stand to see a black person get ahead & it kills them to see it happen! LOL! I thank God that this day has come & for those of you who can't stand it...Get over it, he's here damn it! It was the Lords will indeed!!!!

[jacmcnul]

This should of been given to someone else,beyonce,s voice is soo samey.

[blackclassics]

I like Beyonce but, I agree. There are singers with way better voices than she.

[bballplyr1685]

people are sheep america will change forever only god almighty is are hope

[blackclassics]

When 'katrina' happened,where was this god?When a child from a 'good' home is molested? Where is this god? When black americans were being hanged in the 20s thru the 50's,where was this god? When white business people outsourced american jobs to China,India,Pakastan,Korea and the like,where was this god? Is this god truly good? Is his name Jesus or Allah or what? Is he a he? You can not answer me without some silly quote from the bible or torah or koran. I'm sick of this god stuff.

[jesumele]

So where was Barrack in all this? Is easier to make a man god then? You are pathetic don't even know why don't u believe

[blackclassics]

What the hell are you talking about ? I never said Pres Obama was a god to me. Clean your crusty eyes, okay. And I absolutely know why I don't believe. It's because Jews have one god, Christians another, Buddhist believe their way. If there is a god then he or she or it is the most uncaring mass of muck around. You're only claiming a god because of some book. Nobody's definitively MET god to say IT exist. U believe by faith. Shit I have faith in cars and  elevators but I don't worship them.

[blackclassics]

And another thing some of the most inhumane acts in history was done by people saying it was god's will. It would've been nice if god intervened but according to the bible 'his ways or not our ways'. What a crock of crap and how convenient. Oh and I like Pres Obama and he's christian. Figure that out, Mr or Miss goddy!

[jesumele]

Christianity comes from Jewish roots, hence the same God. I neither have crusty eyes or consider myself very religious, but the fact is that there is a God. Obama's christianity is ver questionable, I don't buy it! Now don't divert from the theme and all I am just asking is for our democracy and the right to debate and to questions this guy who is being worshipped by celebrities and people alike, appologies for my acussations of you earlier.

[blackclassics]

George Bush was once asked whom did he admire. He said, Jesus. Yet this same man and his crew lied about weapons of destruction. And he's a christian so though the faith is the most popular here in the US (and believe it or not I used to be one but just got tired of it) you'd be hard pressed to find any politician whose christianity isn't shaky to someone. And as for our democracy it is a source of sadness to me.

[wojo4hitz2]

The Lincoln Memorial? On the National Mall in Washington DC?

[nanunkimm]

my, she's beautiful <3

amazing performance! seriously wish i couldve been there.

[00ripe]

I agree with you, a lot of racist people as what all consider as greatest nation on earth! to think a lot of ignorant people too.

[shan374]

p.s my comment was after reading all of the previous comments.....and beyonce is great!

[shan374]

Eurgh americans are so racist...no wonder every other country in the world hates america....although it's evidently not the all americans...there is alot that seem to be stuck in the 18th century...greatest nation on earth haha whatever makes u feel better!! i don't think the 'greatest nation on earth' would hold so many negative and ignorant views

[TexasNette]

it is only beginning.....

[liljuel10]

omfg hold the damn camera right -.-

[zenlenz]

Wow, you're really ungrateful.

[wojo4hitz2]

Thanks Zen. :) I mean, it was the end of a two hour show... my arms were about to fall off trying to hold that camera up over my head so other people's heads weren't in the way. They're STILL sore, actually...

[Atheist2007]

I love Negroes. They are so sweet, plus they can sing so much better than us Aryans.

[mohsenbergane]

there is no us and them...

[faridass]

u hav no idea how much wat u wrote touched me. it means a LOT. thank you

[Atheist2007]

You're welcome. :)

[everkor]

bush curse is over

now what?

[lonelydeviant]

3000 Year Age Of Ignorance is OVER

[gabriellus018]

awsome... thank god we have a new president :D ... after the retarded one...

[konman001]

You will be saying the same thing in four years ;)

[faridass]

thank you. really i mean it.

[briogorman11]

i second that haha.

[laynadean]

To all you shit heads out there saying beyonce cnt sing (WAT CAN U!!!!!)just coz she has more money than u cud even imagine u fuken assholes i believe she is the one with all those grammies and awards and wat du u have bsydes no life.. u fuken crakhed..

piece of trash............HOLLAH

[markstine01]

It shows you are the expert in verifying talent..

Lets see...because you have money, then you will be a great singer...There will be alot of great singers in hell too....

I am sure the Lord will just invite her in the kingdom because she a great singer...hahahahahaha yeah right!

[Lordfinese19]

the lord will invite her in his kingdom bcuz she's a child of GOD and he have her the talent that she has n thats 2 perform 2 sing which she is doing n she's damn good..yo if u have nothing 2 say postive don't say nothing at all real talk this is supposed to be a special moment n ur talking about some one 4 no reason at all..

[salimmontreal]

GO GO GO OBAMA

[ForrestGump57]

tom hanks has gained weight!!

hahaah

[iLikeGoodMusak]

This is a Great Video. You all should check out Vthov's music. Finally someone speakin some real shit. Search "Vthov Obama Inauguration Song" He makes great music.

[cArNiVal015]

you don't know how much i know about the bible or not.

that's not the offensive thing anyway. your emphasis of his middle name is, because it has no relevance to anything. it's just a scare tactic for ignorant people

[lovelyalona]

first Obama did not mess up the oath the gentleman that was stating the oath to President Obama was saying too many sentences at one time. How about you get your ass up there and say it then oh I forgot your ass aint President so shut the hell up.

[baekkh]

You talk about change but then again remain with the status quo and are showing actions of divisiveness.

STFU and honor the new President. I'm glad he is President. No more playing the race card.

[zedpz]

when i was watching obama live today, i kept waiting for a bullet to enter the frame and shoot him.. all that security just built up the tension lol..

glad hes ok though..

[belagiorgo]

shall we end united states agian propanda shit, GOD IS JUSTIES FOR ALL people human kind its sheep forever for the goverments and religions this not freedom wake up you will see .

[popjink]

fallout 3!

[stuckdale]

beyonce is amazing, she gave me goosebumps, wat r u beyonce haters going to say now? she stole this song, shes lip syncing, she has no talent? haha stfu all of u

[MrSabre11]

im glad she didnt burst into "all the single ladies" and kept her clothes on. :o)

[alieco]

Read your Bibles people. Stop going based off your own assumption on what Christianity is and what the media portrays us as. How do you know me just from one comment? That's the most arrogant thing I could've heard from someone. Many people around the globe are turning to believe in Christianity because they know its right. Did you know people around the world are still dieing for their belief in Christianity? So don't tell me what I can and can't say....

[chronic00]

the black girl behind beyonce smiling is creeping the shit out of me!

[res7evil]

if obama is a puppet, who is the master? care to explain yourself before you make absurd comments?

[41elliott]

I would say the puppet master would be big business ans special interest lobby groups. If youre not aware of those two elements in government then you certainly are not enlightened about how this country REALLY works. Havivg said that, I hope that Barack will stay true{most dont} and at least try to compromise between the master and the people.

[res7evil]

i know about big businesses and special interest groups; ive studied a bit about marijuana in the u.s. i thought lobby groups only influenced politics to better their private sectors, which im guessing are minor compared to the country as a whole. i didnt think theyd be so powerful as to having an impact such as wholly controlling a presidency.

[wojo4hitz2]

So what do you have to say about Obama's mandates his first day in office about ethics reform and seriously restricting lobbyists?

[jlionroar1]

your a idiot to compare hilter

[jlionroar1]

Please lets just boycott Fox

People that speak hate have a dark spot and they can see the world in color

[fordatude]

obama now that your the man , i hope you can fix this counrty...........

[bnprenaissance]

He couldn't even get a few words right.

[RZ3Productions]

Actually, if you were an intelligent person, you would realize that the Chief Justice who swore him in actually made the mistake and for fear of being sworn in correctly, Barack corrected him.

[trusteveryone123]

I <3 This song so much i grabbed the ringer at GetEveryRingTone . Com i freakin love that place! Let's all take a moment to thank the millions of White Crackers, who came out to vote for Obama, thereby making this moment possible.

[LUVwyreRox]

Great job, Beyonce!!!!!

[Sumetra]

Whats most amazing about these posts, is that they show exactly how senseless both sides to an argument can be. People that claim that care about "religion" end up being pushed into an "unloving" tone, by someone that damns relgions... So from a distance, the two sound identical. That is the problem with ideologies, people do as they're told and refuse to think from the moral goodness that lies within each individual. I'm saddened that being American doesn't call people to a higher ground.

[StinkFingerr]

41elliot, I pity you. I'd explain but I'd be wasting my time & this isn't the forum for it. BTW, The only thing you will tell him, is how sorry you are.

[wojo4hitz2]

Yeah, I often realize I'm wasting my time too... good call.

[Heatseeker92]

awesome

[StinkFingerr]

BigWhite, " Planet of the Apes"? Well, do you feature Obama as being more like cornillius & Zira, or like Dr. Zaeus ?

[alieco]

Look man... People from around the world are converting to true Christianity because they realize their religion is not right. I never said they didn't have freedom. I just said people who don't know God shouldn't be singing about Him.

[41elliott]

And what God would that be???...The celestial thug/extortionist of the desert. The only reason you're a Christian is because of where you grew up and what you were taught. Bet you wouldnt think "Christi-insanity" would be so "right" if you grew up in Iran. And if so then youd be DEAD. If you happen to see God, tell him I said to fuck off, and if he doesnt like it, he can come see me. But then, we both know thats not going to happen, dont we.

[StinkFingerr]

41elliot, Don't worry. You, already have an appointment with him.

[wojo4hitz2]

Errrr... I don't even know what to do with this comment thread.

[StinkFingerr]

Let's all take a moment to thank the millions of White Crackers, who came out to vote for Obama, thereby making this moment possible.

[41elliott]

As a whits cracker myself, I thought Barack was the best guy for the job. But let's remember, he IS half white, so I think we should be able to claim him as ours at least 3 days a week....yall can have him the other 4...(you get that extra day for that little slavery thing)...PEACE to ALL races.

[wojo4hitz2]

Hahahaha... good answer.

[bewise08]

Beyonce did a wonderful job singing this song. She has the best voice. What are all u idiots off of the topic, and Criticizing Obama again LIke sore losers, still upset McCain lost the election, u guys are a disgrace and Not American, U belong in Iraq or Cuba OR with Chavez from Venezuela.

[DozleZabi]

So it's unamerican to favour one candidate over another? Your an idiot.

I'm not even American and I know that.

[XxXTwilightFan001XxX]

Obama is awesome! I'd rather see him be president than George Bush, he fucked up America and left Obama to sort it out!!

[nbggirl92]

obama is cool

[oldskoolchomp]

funny how some of you old racist ass republicans can hate somebody while the rest of America is more optimistic about the future than ever.

[GunsNRoses11]

I respect that poeple can have their own beliefs and have their freedom of choice, that is what makes this country so great, but the fact remains that God, christianity, and its teachings were a key component to the creation of our nation...

[wojo4hitz2]

Yes, and so was religious freedom and the separation of church and state. :)

[islamacros]

George W. Bush was the worst prensident in US??

[sacchiuy2008]

Yes, according to surveys of popularity.

[atlhoe123]

Im just glad ole George W is out!

[alieco]

You people sing about God but we have lost touch of who God is.

[CaRamElbEauTy94]

why watch if ur juss gunna critizie it rudely

give obama a chance he juss got in the white house and hez going to do great things for this country

[JJYazzie73]

Cant we all get along???

[bucksycpt6]

all u fucker who making the bad comments i can tell u all is fucking races no wonder america cant get no better give the man a fucking chance

[StinkFingerr]

More seriously, the weakest part of the ceremony was the poem. It boarded on babble.

[thewseshow]

George Washington is turning in his grave

[SafiyaOniTV]

yes he is overjoyed

[ybyainc]

Cookie monster for president!!!!!

[TadRapidly]

get your gas masks, America. order now. Avoid the rush.

[mokaljordan]

damn her voice is annoying when she try to hit those high notes. I would enjoy it alot better if she avoids certain high notes

[wawo2212]

Go Obama Go Bee RULES!!!

[CaptainRidley]

Regardless of your political stance. Obama is now the president. If this country ever hopes of becoming what it once was then everyone needs to shutup and support him.

[jesumele]

That's not democracy..

[Rosanja]

i thought another song was better and i dont get why usher is performing:( instead of usher they must take another artist

[atarikg]

Tom Hanks,I wish he could be president :)

[modaddymo]

Good looking out, Wojo!! People overseas appreciate your contributions to this site, myself included! Stay good over here!

[wojo4hitz2]

Thank you! I really appreciate it! And I definitely will. :D

[insut07]

[cherylyn914]

[almamatters2471]

can someone please tell Beyonce that she is NOT Aretha.

And she never will be.

[crysta2k2]

Who cares....  LOL

[ceecee17]

DID SHE CLAIM THAT?

[asianpersuasion08]

patti labelle will never be aretha as well, but would you say she's untalented.

[goddessworshipper]

YES, thank you so much for posting! America, please don't forget the good feelings, even if it takes a while for change to come. And when Obama's administration inevitably has its first, second and third set back, please remember to be patient. Don't be fair weather friends of America and Obama!

[wojo4hitz2]

You're welcome! :-D And I totally agree with you, I hope people are patient.

[spleko68]

[idetached]

[vixitrixalina]

[Rosannasfriend]

not bad. I tried to hold off watching this until I saw the rest of the videos, but since it will take awhile for the other videos to be uploaded I came here anyway. I don't like Beyonce much, so I wanted to enjoy the other performers first, lol. She did decent. She didn't kill the song too much, didn't overo anything. Nice. I can't believe Barack will be President!!!

[wojo4hitz2]

Hope you enjoyed the rest! :-D

[sxb5551]

awesome!!
