I certainly hope Jennifer gets the job because she is a better singer. Beyonce has a voice that does not sound mature, but rather more of a soulful crossover from Pop. I also think Beyonce’s voice is enhanced by the musical arrangements but just her voice alone, she can’t compare to Jennifer. Whereby Jennifer has a more soulful sound, kinda like that of Aretha, Gladys and Patti Labelle, old skool sounds!

@CARMELLO Idk how old u are but if that rats nest none singing no soul havin sellout pop star little girl aint payn ur bills or giving U the best oragasims of some kind…wtf r u fighting her battles for??? She’s part of the propaganda that has prevented a WHOLE generation from having SOUL. She represents a sellout mentality. Make white people happy w/ur music just to make money. Some people respect music for what it is and not JUST for the money or NOT for the money AT ALL. She gets no respect from RESPECTABLE people.

Why cant they both sing sometime throughout the inauguration week, lets not forget that the real star here is Barack Obama. I think that is what everybody should be concerned with instead of arguing whose classier or the better singer, they both are good in their own style and they both GET MONEY!!

No younger singers please any seasoned singer over 50 would be the right choice who have witnessed real struggle not any 20 or 30 something singer who make real money and hasn;t seen the struggles of yesteryear.who ever wasn’t around in the 60’s/70’s shouldn’t sing

I wish they would let me sing rahnanthoni.net please get the song I wrote for free called I believe… Let me know if I can sing at the Ball…

please people get over it. After reading approximately 5 – 6 of your responses, it clearly shows there’s a lot of jealously where Beyonce’ is concerned. Lok, both have worked hard and they’re both accomplished singers. As far as the booty shaking, it has been proven when it’s time for Beyonce’ to perfrom at an affiar which requires calls and dignity, she’s proven she can measure up. i love Jennifer and when she sings she can bring it so stop the hating and get over it! They both might be asked and just becasue Jeniffer performed already for Obama, doesn’t mean she’s a shoe-in for the innaguration! We will see who God selects to perform that honor. Again, there should not be any hating on any one of these young ladies. they’ve both proven they can measure up and get in where they fit in when the ocassion calls for it. But as one person put it, to place the opera star in there would be a great idea as well, but as we all know, God has the last word. People; don’t sweat the small stuff!

I think Jennifer hudson should sing the event held outside, and Beyonce should sing at the white house. why? because jennifer needs to bout out a songsso loud that her love ones feel it in Heaven. and Beyonce should rise the roof off the New White House. why? because then jennifer would be surround by love and safe inside. It’s room for everybody it’s time for people to come together.

” all da single ladies…..not!!!!!”….u mean all da voting ladies….lol

To much druma
why can’t they both sing remember We The People. That’s the problem everyone want to shine solo sometime we have to do things together. This country has come a long way, we have to stop being one, and be together.
Together we stand, do I have to tell you the rest

I’M TIRED OF THE BEYONCE FANS CALL-N ANYBODY WE DON’T AGREE WITH HER FAKE AZ HATERS, I JUST VALUE, RESPECT & APPRECIATE QUALITY! NOT BOOTY! WE DON’T NEED BOOTYLICIOUS IN THE WHITE HOUSE USE A MORE SEASONED SINGERS SUCH AS ANITA BAKER OR PATTI. WE ALL KNOW ‘B’ HAS A BODY B-CUZ HER MOMMA & DADDY LEGALLY PIMPED HER WHEN SHE WAS 16,17, & 18 MARKETING HER BY HER NICE SHAPEYOUNG. ENUF IS ENUF GROW UP BEYONCE WE TIRED OF U & YO BOOTY BESIDES AIN’T U MARRIED? IF U CAN’Y HAVE RESPECT FOR UR SELF AT LEAST HAVE SUM 4 YO HUSBAND ‘JAY” & 4 THOSE OF U WHO DON’T THINK SHE JEALOUS OF -HUD YAL NEED 2 GO BACK & WATCH WHEN THEY TURNED THE CAMERA ON HER AT THE OSCARS AFTER JENNIFER WON, NOT 2 MENTION ‘BEY DIN’T EVEN PUT J-HUD NAME ON THE GUEST LIST FOR THE DREAM GIRLS PARTY, WHEN JENNIFER ASKED 4 THEM 2 CALL ‘B’ 2 THE DOOR 2 GET HER IN ‘B’ PLAYED HER LIKE SHREE PLAYED NENE OFF THE REAL HOUSE WIFES OF ATL. ‘B’ NEEDS 2 SIT HER OLD WORN OUT TIRED AZZ DOOOWWN

I believe both ladies have beautiful voices!
But I think Jennifer Hudson should be the one to grace her voice at this event.
It’s her time to shine now. I think Jennifer sings from her heart and sole.

I feel, jennifer should sing, she deserves it and she is a lady of class, like jay z says, college can’t by you class, u can dress up but that still doesn’t define class. By the way jennifer has a way better voice then beyonce, that’s real talk!

I like both singers and i wish good luck to both of them,but however i think Fantasia,maria carey,alicia keys or even brandy.

The comments some of you sister’s have made on this site is embarrassing and disgusting. Why do we always have to put somebody down? Some women are just mean and nasty. Yuck!

i love both singers and i wish both of them good luck,but however i think they should have Fantasia,Alicia Keys,Brandy,or even Mariah Carey.

Some of you ladies are just jealous and negative!

You know, not taking away from Beyonce or anything because she is a good performer, but has anyone heard of overkill, or better yet OVEREXPOSURE???? To be honest, I would like to the “Best” of us perform. How about Patti, Stevie,Aretha, Al jarreau, and the like?? And yes Jennifer. She is a class act, and that was shown in her performance in dream girls, and in her videos. She doesn’t show all of her body and dance as if – well I don’t know what. I really don’t have that much respect for Beyonce because of that. You can be classy and keep your clothes on.

LET GOD DO WITH IT AS HE WILLS.
I APPROVE JENNIFER HUDSON TO SING.
BUT BEYONCE SHE SING GOOD TOO .
BUT ON THIS PARTICULAR CASE JENNIFER MUST SING.
LET GOD DO WITH IT AS HE WILLS.
NO ONE CAN DEFEAT GOD BECAUSE GOD IS GOD.
STOP TO COMMENT ON BEYONCE. SHE DON’T NEED THAT.
BEYONCE SHE IS OK.
BUT THIS CIRCONTANCE IS DIFFERENT.
LET GOD DO WITH IT AS HE WILLS. CECILE…………

This is a historical event not a time for bootylishus people to shake. Jennifer has a great voice and it is fitting for this event. Let “B” shake at one of the other Hotel event not in the White House.

WOW!!!!!THEY ARE VERY BOTH TALENTED I THINK THAT THEY SHOULD BOTH SING.RIGHT NOW BOTH OF THEM ARE DOING THEIR THING BUT I WOULD LET BEYONCE SING BECAUSE JENNIFER IS GOING THROUGH HER ROUGH TIMES NOW.OVERALL I LOVE BOTH JENNIFER HUDSON AND BEYONCE(NO BEEF …..PLEASE!):)
