Obama Camp Dismisses Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson Inauguration Rumors
November 14th, 2008
Obama camp dismisses Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson inauguration rumors. Beyoncé fans need not take out the claws just yet. The rumor circulating that she’s been beat out by Jennifer Hudson again isn’t true, says the Barack Obama camp. Apparently, speculation about Obama’s hometown connection to Hudson in Chicago mushroomed into word that the singer was asked to perform at Obama’s Jan. 20 presidential inauguration. Be, who was upstaged by Hudson’s Oscar win after they both appeared in the film Dreamgirls, expressed interest in singing at the White House. “An inauguration committee hasn’t even been formed yet,” says an Obama spokesman. No decision has been made about who’ll sing at the event, the rep says. Meanwhile, Hudson is still mourning the recent unsolved murders of three family members.
I hope Beyonce doesn’t sing. I just think she think she’s “owed” that opportunity or something…Jay Z’s ego been rubbing off on her already.
I like Beyonce and everything, but no one needs to see a lot of ass shaking at this classy event.
They are both very blessed and Beyonce do her thing but Jennifer has a wonderful voice and is a great actor let her shine and Beyonce should be more supportive of Jennifer she has worked ard to get where is at. stop hating BEYONCE
The choice will be the inauguration committee and of course Mr. President himself. I am sure Jennifer will have a shot at it anyway. She deserves it. Plus she is a more heart felt singer anyway. I like B but sit down somewhere and be a wife to JZ.
I’m kind of tired of Bey singing at everything, I hope Jennifer does sing instead.
I hope the renowned, internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Jessye Norman is asked to perform! This is not about booty shaking and dancing around the room, or R&B shout-outs, this is a very important and historic event, so let’s preserve it as one!
Jennifer is a better singer while Be is a better performer. For the party she can’t bring all that. Let jen sing cause that’s what she do.
Ok, Beyonce may be the “bigger” performer, but Jennifer is from Obama’s home state and they have a history together. She did perform the national anthem at the Democratic National Convention at Obama’s request….
Get over it.
