    Beyonce is one of the few pop artists who can really sing. She sang the National Athem a few years ago in Texas and she really showcased her talent. I hope she gets rid of the pop stuff and graces us with that remarkable touch that she adds to ballads. Keep up the good work and you go girl!

  9. I am so glad that he's our President!!!!

    One of the most special moments of an unprecedented special inaugural celebration. I fell in love with the moment and the incredibly positive message their dance together with that historic song and singer.gives to the entire world.

Thank you ABC that you have teken these nice moments. … I cannot explain the feeling when I watch and listen to this video. … Wow!

  12. thats good and romantic

  13. This is a an absolute President and Michelle moment. Look at the love and admiration for each other…..reminds me of the song “Just the two of us”……. this is a favorite video

  14. Etta James the 71-year-old singer says in an audio clip that surfaced online Thursday that she would “whip” Beyonce for singing “her song” “At Last” at an inaugural ball for President Barack Obama. James said in the clip from a Jan. 31 concert at the Boulevard Casino in Coquitlam, British Columbia. “She has no business up there, singing up there on a big ol' president day, gonna be singing my song that I've been singing forever.”

  15. that dance with Michelle and Barack with Beyonce singing in the background was a gorgeous setup

  16. If it was only a joke by Etta James… I found it to be funny. We all know that comedy forces people to look at the truth of things though. I do believe that if Etta wasn't asked permission by Beyonce to sing the song, it would be very distasteful of Beyonce to sing a signature song by another artist that is STILL ALIVE! I wonder why Beyonce couldn't sing one of her own songs… Oh, that might be because most of her songs would be inappropriate for U.S. Presidential Inauguration. I don't believe the US citizens want to watch the president and the new first lady pop their booties. Everyone would frown at her performance… so, I suppose it fits her character that she would have the nerve to sing Etta's signature song that isn't hers to sing on a historical day in front of the entire U.S. I do believe with Etta's choice of words she was trying to be funny and that the media is taking it too far. The fact remains though that BEYONCE owes her an apology if she didn't ask her permission to do the song and Etta wasn't asked to sing her own song. This isn't about jealousy it is about ethics and moral values. If Beyonce had any values she wouldn't have sang the song even if Etta said it was okay just on principles… BEYONCE SHAME ON YOU!

  17. obmam rocks we need a “change” hopefully he keeps his promises always n for eva Beyonce sing it girl.
