Obama Camp Dismisses Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson Inauguration Rumors

November 14th, 2008

Beyonce and Jennifer Hudson

 

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.

Wow!!! Why is everybody hating on Beyonce???? And I am sure everyone of you out there hating on her have EVERY SINGLE ON OF HER ALBUMS!!! It doesnt matter who sings, its gonna be Obamas choice……he may not want either one of them to sing so what in the world is the point of getting all worked up about it. This is going to be a historic event and all you all can do is worry about who is gonna sing. Get over yourselves!!!

If I’m looking at a singer at the event I want to be thinking class.If Beyonce sings I’ll be remembering her raunchy videos. While I believe Beyonce is classy in her personal time, she’s not classy on stage or in SOME of her videos. For some of her videos she is classy. I would like to see the Obama’s have people who conjure up the thought of class to sing at this event. People such as Celine Dion, Diana Ross, Alicia Keys (maybe cause most of the videos I’ve seen of hers are classy and soulful).

Beyonce is nothing but classy….Beyonce knows when to pull out her freakum dress and Oscar dress. If she did perform she would probably due this new patriotic song she covered!



Cool Col Said on

Ya know what…why can’t John Legend perform? I think we are all thinking so “inside the box” that we are forgetting what is important, the election. There is no one else that I would love to hear besides JHud, but let’s keep it real, there are others who are good and qualified to sing. I think this is much bigger than 2 chicks, we are talking about the whole US of A!!!! That’s what’s up!!

I feel that Jenifer would be a better choice for the type of event that is going to happen. She is a very classy young lady and worked hard to get where she is. There is nothing classy about Beyonce, I think that she only wants to shake her but. Do not get me wrong she has great songs, but sometimes you need a pause from shaking your but all the time. The reality sets in that there is a time and place for everything. Beyonce displays that she will be nothing w/o the body that she has. She pretends to be confindent but take away her but and hips and shape her like the AVERAGE person and see how many people admire her then . I think on a small level that she a a fake. I do not know that Jenifer feels as insecure a Be, Jenifer like any ohter person that made it to the top lost weight(yes), but she also shows that she did this to boost her confidence and be able to get into her performances more. After what she has been through she will probablt write a inspirational song that so many ordinary people can relate to.

I THINK SOMEONE WHO HAS PAVED A WAY IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY WHO HAS FOUGHT ADVERSITY ON ALL LEVELS, COLOR BARRIERS, ETC TO ACHIEVE FAME……DIANNA ROSS. ………A TRUE LADY WHO HAS REPRESENTED THE BLACK WOMAN FOR A LONGGGGGGG TIME. RAISED SUCCESSFUL CHILDREN AND HAS CROSSED THE RACE BARRIER. SHE DESERVE TO BE THE ONE TO SING AT THIS ‘HISTORICAL’ EVENT.



SRW Said on

I think it should be Alicia Keyes or some true jazz diva, someone with class like Erykah Badu or Lizz Wright. These singers all have class, have built long, respectable careers. I am tired of ghetto and that’s what both of these Diva’s are. They are both very excellent in their said genre’s, but this is a new Era, we want intelligent African Americans with class and ethics. Keyes has several charities, she is a genius, her lyrics could be poems, unlike Beyonce’s.

II am so happy that Bush is finally geting out the way and we have Obama.
I love to say ‘ MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK.” We are so glad to get sorry Bush
(the sorriest President we have ever had out of office) therefore let’s focus on our new President and I know who ever is chosen to sing at the Inauguration, it doesn’t matter because I ‘m still so, so, happy that Obama won until whatever goes on now will be so much better than what our sorry President Bush did while he was in office. (Nothing). Let’s focus on our new elect-President Obama and focus on the changes that he is going to make, so our life will be better. I know there’s always going to be someone to sing at the Inauguration, but still remember, “Our President is Black” and he is going to make a lot of changes in in the United States, because Bush never did one thing for us so let’s worry about how life is going to be without Bush, and how it’s gonna be with Obama. The 5 minute song will be alright but our life is going to be alright too, since ‘BUSH WILL BE GONE”. If they can’t figure out who is going to sing, I can sing, what difference do it make. Let’s watch our new President and watch our sorry ass President Bush go out. That’s all that matter. We all put Obama in and he is going to make a CHANGE so that’s all that matter. Enjoy whoever sing and let’s all sit and be happy and cry happy tears of joy for our new PRESIDENT “OBAMA.” The song will be alright , I promise you. Don’t Worry, let’s be happy.

We will finally have a real ‘PRESIDENT’ so let’s keep being happy like we’ve been since the Election on November 4, 2008. I know so many good singers so after the song is over with it’s all about our new “President so let’s not worry about who’s going to sing and be happy about our new President “OBAMA. We will enjoy the Inauguration no matter who sing. “GO OBAMA.” We finally did it.

Clearly Jennifer should be the one to grace the stages of the inauguration. Her voice and her presence is more fitting for the ceremony than Beyonce’s.

I think JHud should get the job

Everybody can have their own opionion. Remember that it was by the DEMOCRATIC process that Obama got into office. MY opinion is that Jennifer Hudson should sing. Even though the Obama’s have a young daughter whose nickname is Sasha, I don’t think “Sasha Fierce” is someone they would want to introduce their daughters to. They represent the refreshing and more meaningful side of the American Dream, especially for the African American race – where education and hard work are in the forefront. Beyonce says she has worked hard, but at the end of the day, dancing, booty shakin, half-dressin does nothing for our society. We should all teach our children a better way. Jennifer would bring MUCH more class. Her singing has meaning, and she knows who God is. He is the one that should get the glory, and I think Jennifer would give it to Him. Beyonce is just trying to add more to her millions. It’s not all about her.



Tricia Said on

Beyonce needs to fall back and sit down. Jennifer is the better singer and actress. The only thing beyonce has on her is the dancing. I’m sick of Beyonce, maybe now is the time for her to focus on sterting a family and chillin out.

Beyonce attended the funeral so what more do you people want…And you need to stop believing all of these reidculous rivalry rumors…LOL! It further proves your stupidity…Beyonce said she would not talk about the issue out of respect for J.Hud and she did say she was in her prayers…I do not blame Beyonce for not issuing a public statement…All you haters would have done was twisted the words around or said it was not sincere…blah blah blah… Till the point of “idiocracy”…And I do not see you all checking up on Jamie, Anika, Eddie, or anybody else Hudson has worked with…You all just want to spread more stupidity and fuel the media created animosity between them and further have a reason to carry out your jealousy for B because she is talented, rich, and she still here and keeps getting better and better… As for Beyonce being cast last…Good one…We all know B was the first person to be cast in Dreamgirls…Get over yourselves…And you people cannot stand that B handled the rumor situation with grace…LOL…It pisses you off that she has way more class, talent, motivation, determination, and humility then you want to give her credit for…If you want to be respectful then I advise you all to stop spreading all these rumors. I am sure J.Hud would appreciate that more…If you do not believe Beyonce attended the funeral, go to MTV.com, or OK…And “read” like the rest of us…Jeez…And stop Hating on B dang…She expressed interest in singing…she did not demand it…And I am pretty sure she does not care if J.Hud gets the chance..But what does it matter anyways, there is still going to be dumb rumors anyway…
