ICYMI: Beyonce And Kelly Clarkson At The Inauguration

Above is President Obama's #1 fangirl waaaaah-awwwww-eeeeee-waaaaah-ing her way through the Star Spangled Banner at the Inauguration today. Beyonce pulled her earpiece out halfway through, because if you really want to look like you're seriously singing, pull your earpiece out halfway through. Beyonce also pulled it out, because she was yodeling so damn much that it was about to pop out of her ear anyway.

Below is Ron Paul's #1 fangirl Kelly Clarkson singing My Country 'Tis Of Thee. Kelly sang the skin on her tonsils off, but just like stars on the American flag and a single tear drop on an eagle's cheek, this song is not complete without Aretha Franklin's national treasure of a hat. Kelly definitely needed to put a bow on it.

For why is someone like Beyoncé given this privilege? She is so lame.

I didn't see Beyonce sing, I HEARD it on the radio and the very first thing I thought of was that Beyonce didn't even bother to change the arrangement from Whitney Houston's classic. Beyonce sang the song fine, just didn't make it her own. Whitney is still the standard that no one can reach.

She sound just like Whitney, just not as epic.

Kelly is a fine singer. And I don't think she's gay either. Just a devote singer and musician.

Eh Beyonce didn't fuck up the song, but I've heard a hella lot better esp Whitney was the best singer, and on top of her game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS-R7SM_-M4 Bitch put a hella of a lot more pazzaz! I thought Kelly was way better, and has a much more original, beautiful voice. And you can see that she was much more humbling than that faketard B.

My friend had to get dental work while this was playing above his head. I'm thinking he may be a terrorist because no one should endure such torture.

I went to an Aspen Dental Chain office to have my tooth pulled. They have little tvs/x-ray viewers at every station. I got to have The View playing during my extraction. Pretty much felt the same way lol.

I thought both were excellent, and I'm hard to please. But Kelly really nailed it. And of course the pic afterward of Clinton ogling her ass is hilarious.

I didn't watch any of it because I think spending millions on a second inauguration is completely ridiculous and stupid. I mean come on, our economy sucks!

Call me a hater if you will, but the fact that the Obamas love Beyonce so much really knocks them down a few pegs in my opinion. Can't stand how entitled she's become over the years, and nonsense like this just feeds into it.

*********************************

Looking at the video and the way Michelle Obama looks at Beyonce, it's hard for me to believe she is as enchanted with her as the President is.

And I usually HATE Beyonce's singing but I thought she did great and she looked gorgeous. But her walking around like fucking royalty was ridiculous.

Kelly strikes me as a real, honest to goodness, down to earth hor. Not afraid to toss back a few beers at the lake, get sand in her ass and sweat in her hair playing beach volleyball, and tossing DOWN some BBQ. Gotta like that.

I am no Beyonce fan. And I hate caterwauling. But I think she had a really good arrangement (minus the vocal loop-dee-loops) for her range.
She did a good job. Not bad, not great. Good.
Same goes for Kelly, who I think has a wider vocal range than Beyonce, but less star quality.

As for whether we should or shouldn't "do it up" as a nation for the President's Inauguration, FUCKING A! People need food for their spirits as well as for their stomachs.

What were they supposed to do? Stay at home and send out for pizza?

I'm sipping champagne and waving my flag and am hopeful for all of us.

Kelly Clarkson is 10x is the singer B is, in fact, she's prob the best contemporary US pop singer. Too bad all the good songs go to the blow-up fuck doll Katy Perry. I'd love to hear Kelly kills some of those songs.

TrashyWilma's picture

If you can't sing the National Anthem correctly, why the fuck are you allowed to sing it when the leader of the free world is on the international stage? Seriously. Yes, it's a difficult song, which is why it really demonstrates that Beyonce is not talented enough to do it.

Somebody should have resurrected Whitney.

Buy-Once's caterwauling wasn't as bad as usual but she still burped out too many verbal luge runs. Did BIC make her earrings??? Those be some cheap-looking objects. She probably got them at some fancy joo'ree store and doesn't realize they're made of construction paper and Elmer's Wood Glue.

I wonder how much that bitch Beyonce got paid for this? Maybe she can put it toward her baby's diamond encrusted baby bottle.

I also like how they got this token white person in there, just to show that Obama doesnt have a preference for Beyonce and black people everywhere (I really do think Obama doesnt like white folks. Not hate of course, just not like).

Don't care. Why do we need an inaugeration anyway? Just an epic waste of money.

____________________________________________

This! Amen
Agree! with both of you. I have never watched one my entire life and I've seen a few presidents.
Plus---why so long???? Geez

Agree 100%. Celebs at inaugurations cheapen the event, unless you have achieved legendary status and your talent is an indisputable fact.

Having said that, Kelly Clarkson rarely disappoints. Her voice is amazing.

Whitney in her prime vs. Beyonce in hers = no contest.

The way she looks around at all the common folk you can tell she's thinking " I am more powerful than my mind can comprehend."

Kelly Clarkson was great. just great. i wouldn't know what to say about beyonce however because i left the room when she started howling. but history dictates that her signing has always been god awful so i guess its safe to conclude that she was just as unbearable today
as she was at any other time.

That said, Congrats again on your win Mr. Obama.

Beyonce has gone from annoying to disgusting in my estimation. I knew she was a selfish soulless human being, but her and Joe Camel wangling their way into political favor is downright terrifying to me.

Also, can they get someone with vocal talents BESIDES strangling every last drop of blood from every vowel? Kelly and Beyawnce just yodeled too much.

And yeah, it pisses me off that the FUCKING INAUGURATION has turned into a celebrity event where celebrities sit around masturbating their egos. It's turning into another fucking award show.

Then again, Obama DID tell the celebs that they were the "arbiters" of the country's future direction (and then basically added "oh yeah, those common people too"), so who's surprised that he's filling it up with celebutards instead of leaders, innovators and military?

Next time I almost hope a Republican wins just so the celebs will stay home and shut the fuck up.

I'm here to kick ass and drink tea. And I'm all out of tea.

Little known fact -- Beyonce has won 3 consecutive Grammy's for Best Yodelling performance. She is going to record this on her next album to go for a record 4 in a row!

among other things, she did not publicize her "personal" letters to both obamas just to show off her penmanship ... ;-) she herself put those up on her instatwit or whatever the kids are using these days to famewhore. iirc she and Mr. Carter held a nyc campaign fundraiser at their home?

after appearing four years ago she could have politely declined the invitation. or not actively manipulated her way into it. either of those.

Luci, you know she campaigned hard to get that invite, not to mention they (Carters) probably donated millions to the campaign itself.

Thanks for the props Esteem! :) Beyonce WANTS to be as big and as beloved as the late, great Michael Jackson (her husband even tried comparing the two), but MJ had qualities that she is too self-absorbed to cultivate and, despite her PR and over-inflated sense of entitlement, will NEVER achieve. Payola and plagiarism can only get you so far....

Good job..both? Kelly still killed it. Who cares if it wasn't as well as Aretha. Kelly just does her performances how she wants and doesn't really seem to care about comparisons. I think she is happy that she get's to sing. Something tells me if her and Beyonce became irrelevant at the same time, we would be seeing lots of Beyonce's crotch and Kelly would be singing in a bar in Texas happy as a clam.

Well said. I used to LOVE her, but years of hearing/seeing bad things have jaded the opinion, much like a ton of 'stars' out there.

I'm mostly stupefied about her apparent self-proclaimed icon status. No dear, you haven't earned that yet. Diva maybe. Work harder or sit down, and have the grace to let some new talent shine at events like this. You know she used the fact that Michelle Obama and her girls like her music to get this invite for the second time.

No coconut I didn't see that I'm watching the after show which is only about Michelle Obama's outfit Beyonce and Michele Obama's bangs. What's your response to the payola comment? Are you suggesting that Beyonce is not getting better treatment than she deserves? It's not equal there's nothing equal about it.

I'm ashamed of the president for not giving equal chances to Americans to be a part of everything and being in the payola pocket. Nothing says land of opportunity like using the most over exposed pop-star on the planet to perform at both your inaugurations. Not to mention the fact that she isn't a very good singer and there are millions of people who would have done a better job. I think everyone should go back to talking about Michele's lady and the tramp dog bangs. Why was Clarkson a Ron Paul supporter chosen to perform. PAYOLA PAYOLA PAYOLA. It's disgusting.

Did you know they chose a young, unknown poet of Cuban descent -and a gay one to boot- to write/read the poem today?
If that's not equal opportunity I don't know what is.

Motherofcolor's picture

She's a talented performer, I just think she's ruthlessly opportunistic and perpetually over-exposed. And of course she donated big to get face time with the Prez----for all of their hob-knobbing though, you don't see the Carters trying to affect serious change or advocate too much beyond themselves, and that's a true waste IMO. I'm still salty about how she blocked Etta James from singing her own signature song for the Obamas at the last inauguration when Etta could've at least accompanied her for a verse (out of respect). She just doesn't seem to have any grace or class and her welcome is getting thinner and thinner by the minute because, unlike Sade and other icons, Beyonce doesn't know when to pull back and sit down so others can have a chance to shine. It's pitiful.
