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.

Please don’t call Beyonce a tramp or accuse her of not being a strong role model for a video dance,The problem is people are always putting African American women down.We are too sexy,not sexy enough,to light ,to dark,butt to big,butt not big enough ,need I go on.Let’s embrace these lovely African American women.
Since my last comment was not posted, I agree with “I GOT OBAMA’S BACK,’
Marvin Sapp would be a good choice. Also, to agree with Maritza, I too do not claim to be African American–I am American.
What makes people think that others making comments dont look like beyonce or better??? You all would really like beyonce to be the america dream girl. If anything ppl that praise her are the ones that want to look like her! beyonce aint the only pretty light skin girl in the world get a grip ppl. Praise Michelle Obama someone with class and a education that rep ALL black women,someone with a family and a good husband,who the hell cares about someone that is only good for shaking her ass and wearing little to nothing AND acts dumb as hell when she opens her mouth
i love both beyonce and jennifer singing but i think that jennifer should be offered to do it. my sympathy goes out to jennifer. jennifer keep holding on girl they r brighter days to come……. love ya beyonce
OMG PPL….why is everyone hating on Beyonce??? Dang! Both of them are blessed and talented and both are deserving. What difference does it make who sings?? OUR PRESIDENT IS BLACK!!
I THINK THEY SHOULD DO IT AS A DUO
IT WOULD BE NICE IF BEYONCE’ STEPPED UP AND SHOWED A LIL PEACE ON HER PART BY CREATING A SONG FOR HER AND JENNIFER TO SING TOGETHER FOR THE PRESIDENT. I LOVE B, BUT SHE HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH ALOT OF OUR FAVORITE SINGERS THAT IS MAKING HER LOOK BAD. JENNIFER ALREADY WON THAT BATTLE, CUZ SHE ALREADY SUNG FOR THE PRESIDENT. IM SURE THERE NOT GOING TO ASK HER TO DO IT AGAIN, ESPECIALLY DURING HER DOWN TIME. ALTHOUGH BEYONCE PUTS HERSELF OUT THERE AS BEING CLASSY/ROADMODEL, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE SOMEONE LIKE PATTI TO DO SUCH ON JANUARY 20TH. REALLY A GOSPEL SINGER, TO BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY INTO THE white HOUSE.
everybody need 2 stop tryina sh*t on my girl B yall just feel pitty for jennifer she big headed and she hasen’t even been in the game as long as B and B is the better singer and performer so get over it
I LIKE BEYONCE BUT SHE IS IN THIS THE FAM SHE NEEDS TO STOP AND THANK ABOUT BECUASE THIS ABOUT MS. HUDSON SHE IS GOING THERE RIGHT NOW. SO WE ALL NEEDS TO PARY RIGHT NOW.
all u haters need to cool ’cause ain no body need al that drama. b do r thin nd j do hers. but answer is peace
Beyonce may have offered her services, but I really hope that Jennifer Hudson sings.
Jen and Beyonce’ are very talented but President Elect Obama spoke about “CHANGE” so I feel that we should change the fact that it’s always a well known celebrity that sings the “Anthem” why not give a very talented unknown singer that chance of a lifetime. She’s a single parent like Barack’s mom was, she’s 47 yrs old like Barack, she’s from the Class of 1979 like Barack and she’s the official “Anthem” singer for the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) in Washington D.C. And “SHE” is me!!
So write a letter on my behalf to the Inaugural committee and make a request for Stephanie Hayes from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to sing the “National Anthem”. Like President Barack stated, “It’s time for Change”
Thank you!!!
As usual human nature tries to create competition, rumors, and overall mess..Which is ridiculous…Whoever sings, at the event, they sing at the event. Why would u think Beyonce would shake ass if she performed…..When she sung the Star Spangled Banner did she shake no..She was classy, sung beautifully, and exited the scene..beyonce stated she would be available to do whatever..Sing, volunteer, whatever…They always seem to leave that part out…Trying to cause confusion…
Well It’s not hattin on B that matters right now ‘ANGEL’ or whoever thinks ppl are hatin on B, It’s about the fact that everyone is tired of hearing her! Usually we have a break from an entertainer fro about two years but homegirl is nonstop! Not even that her M.O. in all her songs are the same. She has a good man…she is married to no less but she still puts out these songs of men doin wrong and can’t do this or treatin u like that! So that makes me think she only makes these songs for all u depressed azz black females that jump right on the songs when in all actuallity her life is not like that at all. I thought u write songs pretaining to what u goin through? I know I do and Mary j does!!! Only time the girl is doin something different is when she playin a role (someone else’s life) in movies. If they chose J Hud then gine if not the fine…..But B needs to go back to the drawing board and come up with some DIFFERENT songs that don’t all sound like the others. AND FOR ALL U DESTITUTE AND BARON WOMEN LISTENING TO HER MUSIC IT’S JUST ENTERTAINMENT! DANCE TO IT, BUT DON”T LIVE UR LIFE BY IT…SHE DOESN’T!!!!!!
Nver would have made it by Marvin Sapp should be song at some ppoint.
My recommendation is for the committee to select and unknown talented artist demonstrating the diversity and opportunity that President Elect Obama has shared with the American family. It does not need to be one of the many talented artist that have established themselves already, but rather an individual who has the skill, talent, and presense to reinforce the msg., CHANGE . Just like Mrs. Obama struts her stuff in affordable clothing verses the expensive garb, so too should the artist selected reflect simplicity with talent and class. The two mentioned are great and will continue to perform as professionals regardless of their “chosen” image. So if my comment matters, I vote for the unknown talented artist striving to reach stardom but still humble enough to recognize the serious honor this would be. Make history again, choose an unknown!
There are two many haters out there! Beyonce and Jennifer are both two talented beautiful black women doing there thing! Personally Jenniifer needs to rest after her curent situation ” May GOD be with her” But if she would like to sing so be it. Personally I believe they just both want to honor america and our new first african american president. They both are and know how to be classy… you and i both know that!
I like both singers, They’re both very good performers. Fortunately we heard Beyonce sing the National Athem at a Basketball event; I would like to hear Jennifers rendition. If she is mentally ready to perform again. I believe she would do very well.
I just pray to god Jennifer Hudson dont sing she think she’s all that and plus Beyonce look better any way
I think ppl should just chilli and let the ppl who are organising the event to decide….. I have faith in Obama camp that they are going to do the right thing even if it has to be Ms Jay Z or Jen… I love you Jen….sexy like an african woman
