Barrack Obama will have his inauguration ceremony on Tuesday 20 Jan 09 and will become the President of the United States of America. Off the scale huge event with global media coverage and the Inauguration Concert with an all star line up was held on Sunday at Washinton DC on the famous Washington National Mall.
With a whopping 500,000 people in attendance including Barrack Obama and wife Michelle Obama and the rest of his family. Performances from top names such as Beyonce and Mary J Blige amongst many others were held on the Lincoln Memorial Steps.
We’ve focused on Beyonce who was one of the performing artists in the line up and her live performance was singing “America The Beautiful”. Beyonce is also due to sing for the present Mr Obama when he finally achieves the title President Obama on Tuesday.
The pressure on this lady must have been overbearing, and performing live outside open air with pretty much zero acoustics in freezing conditions never really sounds as good as in a studio or concert hall, she is aware of this, but she did very well indeed. What to wear has got to be tricky for this sort of event, make a statement but not too wild a one, look regal, classy and elegant with just a hint of sexiness but also keep warm……….Beyonce hit the mark spot on!
Other performances included Bruce Sprinsteen singing the Obama campaign theme “The Rising” and Bono of U2 sang Pride (In the name of love). Other performances included Usher and Shakira, the pairing og Bettye LaVette and Jon Bon Jovi singing Sam Cooke’s song “A Changeis Gonna Come” changing the line to “A Change Has Come”. Others included Will.i.am, Herbie Hancock and Sheryl Crow.
Mary J Blige was given the honour of performing the right on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in front of an enormous live crowd and globally televised audience.
Top notch incredibly high security at this event with no chances being taken whatsoever with the Obama family behind a clear bullet proof shield complete with snipers on rooftops.
The main event is tomorrow where history will be made for the whole world to see. It’s a special day for the world but even more so for Americans. Footage will of course be here!
