GOD BLESS AMERICA!

o geez i had the tv on and heard her sing while i was cooking but I didn’t know they were doing they first dance to this…missed it

I love it!!

That man loves that woman. I was so happy to see black love on national t.v like that .

An absolutely beautiful moment. It warms my heart to see the love that this Black man and woman have for one another and the fact that they are our new President/First Lady is icing on the cake. I could say more, but I’ma just reflect on the Obama’s and NOT who was singing the song.

This was absolutely breathtaking watching them dance. The look in their eyes when they look at each other, is just priceless. I admire them greatly!

Damn you Bossip, don’t you make me cry this early in the morning!

YES we did and yes we will!

They looked so in love! It was truly a beautiful moment….and Bey sounded good too.

THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR AMERICANS….ALL!!! OUR FOREFATHERS WOULD BE PROUD!!!

at last our forty-acres and a mule. Hold it up MR.+Mrs. Obama

Yes, this was a beautiful, beautiful moment. . .And it was cute how they jumped from ball to ball, and after Obama gave his remarks to the audience, he would say, “Now, excuse me while I dance with my wife.” They looked so good together.

Can someone tell me when did “At Last” become Beyonce’s song? I bet Etta James would have gladly sung for the president. I mean she did achieve fame in Chicago. I ain’t hating on Bey but dang, can someone recognize the music industry did not start when she got here?

test

that was awesome, Michelle looked so happy. Beyonce sounded great!

@WWOD my sentiments exactly. who did matthew pay or beyonce suck to pull this off

This was amoung the sexiest moments I’ve ever seen on TV. Now, excuse me while I gush…again.

My favorite part was at the end with President Obama (just love saying that) said “thats old school”-YES!! He has got to be the coolest president ever~swagger through the roof! All Monica L. followers need to fall back b/c Michelle aint having it! Black love is such a beautiful thing.

Can someone tell me when did “At Last” become Beyonce’s song? I bet Etta James would have gladly sung for the president.
*****************************************
THANK YOU!

And Etta James original song is 10 times better, Beyonce sounds a hot mess. I guess after you hear the real version it’s hard to listen to her. I personally felt like they could have found a more veteren style talent to sing at the ball as oppose to Bey.

WWOD, apparently your life started when she got here. That has to be why you feel the need to start with the Beyonce bashing when this thread is about Barack and Michelle. What you said doesn’t even make sense so please try to stay on topic.

I absolutely love this black man, loving his black woman… his wife, the mother of his children and love of life like this.

*sigh*

I was crying, they are so cute together—i was crying and all–beyonce did her thang– Yesterday was a Beautiful day from morning to night–loved everything– I love my President!! (smile)…so excited, its just hitting me, i will be seeing alot of this man and his family–lovin it!

I was wondering why they didnt get Etta to sing her own song too.

Y cant it be nice comments on this post? dont hate on Bey! she did her thang, give props where its due hatas! damn!!

Awwwww…He truly loves his black queen and shows it!!!

apparently there’s no hope for you losers. I’m off to find a site that can talk about Barack and Michelle on a Barack and michelle thread. I don’t have the energy or the patience for another Beyonce debate. You fags really need to get over her.

@WOW..You are so ontime they need to spring they clocks forward to keep up about who sang the song…Ima just reflect on how beautiful these twoo look together you can tell its real its not for the camera, or the media This MAN and WOman LOVE each other! they are an inspiration to me and my husband we strive to be this in 10, 20, Lord willing 50 years from now. Just the way they look at each other in a room full of people and nobody is there but the two of them. Black, White, or Polka Dot THATS TRUE LOVE!

@ WWOD

I was wondering the same thing about ‘At Last’. I guess she’s gonna try to swagga jack Etta now. smh Since Beyodel doesn’t have any songs in her catalogue that would have been appropriate for this moment, it stands to reason that she would have to sing someone else’s, but there are PLENTY other female artists who DO have songs that would have been fitting. Why the committee chose Beyodel over the more talented folks in beyond me. smh

@ Scooter
I feel you. I’m not married, but I hope that one day I will find a man who looks at me the way President Obama looks at Michelle. *swoon*

You people are pathetic. We are talking about one of the greatest moments in history, and you are still hating on Beyonce and the whole At Last song…the girl sounded good, looked good and it was a great moment…some people will never get it together…so sad.

Thank You…AT LAST!!!…some people on this post agree that they could’ve gotten Etta James to sing her own song….bey was all over the place. Ugh!!! Make me so sick!

I agree with Butterfly girl…Black love that is not based in negativity – man and woman standing by each other’s side…what is so evident to me is how much they are a TEAM…Brothas and Sistas stand up take a lesson from Barack and Michelle – we can only accomplish so much without each other! Look what we can do together!!

What if Beyonce would have started singing Freakum Dress? That would be so…. um…. gross.

Beyonce was beautiful. Please leave her alone.

@ DimePiece..

Aight…you right…Barack and Diva Michelle had their swag on hard last night. It was a magical moment.

They make a great couple. It was an emotional and amazing evening. I must admit, B. did the damn thang.

Just stunning words can’t explain yesterday
I will never forget it
for as long as I live

When should negativity end?
NOW

The unrentless hate for Beyonce is sad and pitiful.
What we saw last night was a beautiful moment and Beyonce stepped up.
Barack and Michelle symbolize many things, but one thing many of the HATERS need to learn from them is CLASS. The name calling, tearing people down is very immature. I know first graders with more maturity then what some of you display.

There were so many pivotal moments of the day, but this was my absolute favorite. It was very endearing and you can tell that they are so in love. Got to give hats off to Beyonce too, she sang a beautiful renditon of “At Last”. It was nice to see her actually showing some real emotion too, Robin interviewed her right after and she could barely keep her composure. It was a beautiful day all around.

Simply lovely!

This was very nice last night. Michelle and Barack looked great.

Well Beyoncé definitly did a great job, and as long as the president and his wife looked happy that’s all that matters.

I love Bee, but this is about OBAMA!!! Not Beyonce!!!

THAT WAS JUST OH SOO BEAUTIFUL I LOVED IT AND BEY WAS BEAUTIFUL ALSO.

Just beautiful…I’m so happy n I’m sure everyone that supported this lovely couple is feeling the same way….:-)

Well unlike most of ya beautiful just beautiful… i could say so much more … but wont i could never imagine dancing in front of millions to a beautiful song lik that , thanks etta and beyonce that whole moment will b burned in my mind for years to come simply perfect

I stayed home yesterday, took a personal day!!! When President Barack H. Obama was sworn in. YOu could just see the PRIDE and LOVE just overflowing from Michelle!!! It was a great moment. One I will never forget!

A moment that makes me still beleive in love!! a moment that makes me still believe in marriage and happily-ever-after!!

I watched NBC and supposedly the full concerts were on cnl 7 which I NEVER wacth!!!
I stayed up until almost midnight trying to catch the First Dance.. while the Reporters talked over
Beyonce’s singing.. but what I can say is that most reporters started by saying Beyonce sang the REMAKE to Etta James song, “At Last” from the movie Cadillac records.. so I think it was pretty clear to who’s song it was!

But anyway!!! sooooo Happy! God bless the Obamas and all those brave folks who stood out in the cold!!!

HE WONT LAST LONG, BUT CONGRATS…

FACTS

1. We have a great new president and Michelle looked great!
2. Beyonce sounded great!
3. The Obamas personally chose Beyonce to serenade them.
4. At Last was not originally done by Etta. She covered it just like Bey.

So what’s the problem in Bey singing it? She has the most recent recording, and the Obamas are fans.

I dont think Beyonce did that song any justice. her voice is a disappointment. I would have liked to hear someone with a much more soulful voice sing that for their first dance.

Judging from the comments, ain’t a damn thing going to change. New president, same ol’ bullshit

The fact that she used another living musician’s song just to get in the spotlight speaks volumes about Beyonce’s being a shameless media whore: why didn’t she request that Etta do a duet with her, would that have cut too much into her face time?!? Pitiful!!!

But aside from her desperate attempts to hog the moment, our President and First lady brought tears to my eyes…I’m SO thankful that my new baby will grow up under an OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, HALLELUJAH!!!

Yesterday was one of the most memorable days of my life. Barack and Michelle Obama are top-notch, first-rate. Class, beauty, and love personified.

I love it.

AWWWWW they r a inspiration to all of us…

the last time I can remember that tears came down my face was when I had an accident 10 years ago. but seeing those two doing their thang and Beyoncé singing like that- that just made a grown a$$ man cry. I’m so proud of how great everything has been so far.

THE MOMENT WAS EXPERIENCED BY ALL, LOVED BY ALL EMBRACED BY ALL…..ETTA WASN’T INVITED, ASKED OR THOUGHT OF….BEYONCE LOOKED GREAT AND CLASSY AND EVERYONE EXCEPT A CERTAIN % OF THE BLACK FEMALE POPULATION LOVED IT! THAT MOMENT WAS HISTORY!
SO BEAUTIFUL…I WILL NOT LET THE HATE ON THIS POST FOR BEY TAKE IT FROM ME!

THEY SHOULD HAVE REPLACED BEYONCE WITH PATTI LABELLE OR MARY J. BLIGE…

BEY SOUNDED GREAT….MARY WAS OFF KEY IF U REALLY WANT TO BE PETTY…..KEEP IT REAL!

NAW, BEYONCE WAS HORRIBLE…

WHY REPLACE BEY…SHE WAS REALLY GOOD…..
MARY CANNOT OUTSING HER COME ON……

OK, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER WOMEN WHO CAN OUT SING BEYONCE…

This is the never ending selective critisism debate…..i really am thru….
Everyone in America loved Beyonce’s serinade to our first couple…she is friends with them worked on the campaigne and what…..she wsa good…it doesnt matter..the history is made and u loose!

I JUST LOVE OBAMA , HE IS DEFINATELY WHAT ALL WOMEN NEEDS, AND THAT IS A LOVING AND CARING-FATHER AND HUSBAND. I LIKED WHEN THE WOMEN AT THE BALL YELLED OUT “I LOVE YOU” TO OBAMA, AND HIS RESPONSE WAS “I LOVE YOU TOO AND MICHELLE LOVES U TOO.” THAT JUST TOLD ME SOMETHING DEEPER ABOUT HIM. (MAYBE IT’S JUST ME) I JUST PRAY YEARS FROM NOW NOTHING DIRTY COMES ABOUT HIM.

I see u JU JU…i thought that was my butt!

I thought Beyonce sounded great. It was a lovely moment. Yes, having Etta there would probably have been even better but thats clearly not what they wanted..so drop it!

WHO CARES, BEYONCE SUCKS AND EVERYONE HERE ONLY VOTED FOR BARACK BECUZ HE IS HALF BLACK, SMH…SHAME ON EVERYONE!

@LAST…..our black president………….LMAO …..!

YEAH MR. AND MRS. PRESIDENT DANCING YESTERDAY WAS ABSOLUTELY A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT, BUT I’M SORRY LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD, Y DO WE SEE SO MUCH OF BEYONCE, I USE TO REALLY LIKE HER, BUT IT’S LIKE EVERYWHERE YOU TURN SHE’S THERE,MOVIES, TALK SHOWS, VIDEOES, SPECIAL PERFORMANCES, LIKE A BUG A BOO HER DAM SELF, IT’S LIKE HER TEAM IS FORCIN HER DOWN FOLK’S THROAT , IT’S SO MANY OTHER TALENTED FEMALE SINGERS OUT THERE TAKEN SOME OF THE SPOTLIGHT, AND YEAH ETTA COULDA SUNG HER OWN ISH CUZ BEY AIN’T EFFIN WITH HER FA REAL, BUT YEAH OLE GURL IS TOO OVEREXPOSED FA ME, BUT I COULD NEVER GET ENOUGH OF MY BOY OBAMA, I MEAN REALLY DID YAW HEAR HIS INAUGURAL SPEECH, THAT IS ONE INTELLIGENT, COOL AZZ BLACK MAN

Hannibal:

there are allot of folks who can outsing allot of hte entertainers on stage, she was requested by Barack and Michelle…..i mean Shakira litterally YODDLED on stage and girated her cooch…NO ONE said anything to that ish! the selective critisim is so annoying! GEEEEESH!

NO IT WASNT BARACK OR MICHELLE WHO REQUESTED HER, IT WAS THEIR TWO BAD ASS KIDS THAT WANTED HER!

@ SOULWRITER

MAYBE BEY DID REQUEST FOR ETTA TO SING ALONG SIDE HER AND ETTA TOLD BEY TO SING INSTEAD. I’M SURE YOU, AS WELL AS EVERYONE ELSE HAS NO CLUE HOW THAT WENT DOWN. MAYBE YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT ALL POSSIBILITIES BEFORE YOU ASSUME THINGS YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT…

JUST ENJOY THE MOMMENT AND DROP THE JUDGEMENTS

To Cee:

Do Bee come on your job and tell you to quit or critisize u…get over it …the song was 2 min at most and she was great….it was about barack and michelle….enjoy the moment boo! mary and alicia perform at the same amount of stuff…again selective critisism!

I wonder if we will start seeing a change in the stuff that our young people put out, since we have new inspiration now. They were PERFECT!(tears).

BEING AFRICAN AMERICAN IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL THING AND THANK GOD IT BRINGS A SENSE OF PRIDE TO OUR HERITAGE AGAIN!

FOR ALL YOU DARKSKINNED BLACK WOMEN…MICHELLE SHOULD BE A REASON TO KEEP YOUR HEADS UP AND NEVER FEEL INFERIOR TO ANYONE!!!

@LITTLE BEY

I DISAGREE, ALL DARK SKINNED WOMEN ARE INFERIOR AND SHOULD NOT GO OUTSIDE WHEN THE SUN IS OUT

HOLD UP! NEWSFLASH: The reason Ms. Knowles sang the song is that she recently starred as Etta James in the movie entitled “Cadillac Records”. She also had been nominated for an award and was the executive producer of the movie. CAN WE ALL JUST GET ALONG? YESTERDAY WAS PHENOMENAL AND THE PRESIDENT WOULD NEVER BE SO CRUEL AS THE MAJORITY OF YOU BLOGGERS HAVE BEEN TODAY. CHANGE STARTS WITH US…ITS NOT JUST ABOUT A CHARISMATIC LEADER. WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE OUR NASTY AND OFFENSIVE PERSONAES IN THE REAL WORLD. READ YOUR BIBLE MORE OFTEN AND STOP BASHING OTHER PEOPLE. You are being hateful! STOP THE MADNESS. GOD BLESS AND HAVE A PEACEFUL LIFE.

JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!! This is the epitome of True Black Love.. Perfect example of FAMILY! I LOVE MY PRESIDENT AND THE FIRST FAMILY!!!

@HANNIBAL

Nigga please. LOL.

This has been my initial visit on this site and it is abominably sad how this audience carries on. YOU NEED TO WORK ON YOURSELVES AND GET A LIFE!

@ AT LAST…OUR BLACK PRESIDENT,

LOOK, I’M JUST TIRED OF SEEIN THE B## THAT’S ALL I’M SAYIN, AND I ALSO FEEL THAT SHE FAKE AS HELL, SHE WANT TO SING FOR THE PREZ FOR THE EXPOSURE AND NOT FOR THE SINCERE GRACIOUSNESS

JUST BEAUTIFUL, THE 1ST FAMILY IS ELEGANT, CLASSY, BEAUTIFUL, WELL DRESSED. THANK YOU GOD.

quick prayer: lord bless this beautiful black family, protect them and their daughters from the evils of world. Grant them direction, balance and your loving kindness.

It was a beautiful moment and I was great to see postive black people. Maybe this will help motivate our black community to do something postive and helpful to each other insted of tearing each other down with our small mindedness and hateful ways> Why cant everyone just say the song was beautiful? why do you have to say I hate the song because Beyonce sang it? Beyonce has been working hard since she was sixteen and became a millionare before she was 25. How can you hate on someone is doing it? As for overexposure , you can only blamae yourselfs the ones who buy her albums and make her rich.

@ LITLE BEY That shit is old and wont work on the black community any more. You need to look up the word Inferior. and look in the mirror to get get the definition of stupid.

Hannibal :

You are hillarious…..Being as though those two adorable little princesses were not at the ball …I am assuming Barack and Michelle chose exactly who they were interested in singing the first song! And it was Bee….

THE ONLY REASON BEYONCE GOT TO SING IS BECUZ SHE IS BARACK’S UNDERCOVER MONICA LEWINSKI…

Gotta hop on this one as well…….The President and First Lady looked wonderful and Beyonce did a wonderful job. That being said, for such a historic occassion, the real thang, despite how talented and having just portrayed her in the movie, would have been the icing on that beautiful dress Michelle wore. But, Beyonce did it, so be it….she did do it well. I would feel slighted though if I were Etta James, but she musta been okay with it. This was so historic, keeping it with the oldtimers but bringing in the new hot ones woulda been great if Beyonce did a different song. She did appear truly honored. Everyone’s intentions must be great, but many were not on point with their singing/rapping. Shakira with playing with that hair,,,,,ahm…this is what we expect them to lapse into because of their age I guess. Jay Z has no excuse….should have used the opportunity to communicate to our youth the importance of leaving the weapons alone, of not killing each other and hating on each other and getting an education so we CAN REALLY SHOW the WORLD and ourselves….YES WE CAN. More substance. Don’t know…A. Keys would have been great doing Superwoman with pics of Michelle and Obama’s mom and grandma and Biden’s wife going across the screen. I am not all that, but I coulda gave them pointers from our perspective. Great they allowed the public to schmooze, though. Blessings to everyone and their great intentions. Congrats to the Obamas and to the world for putting this racist shit aside and voting with common sense and not with Jim Crow. Let us get ourselves together and show our babies and the world……..We are a beautiful people. Not just ass shaking rapping about cars and chicks and gold and shoot em up bang bang drive bys. Come on….we can start by putting our jealousy aside when the devil wants to incite it as well as anger. Beyonce is beautiful and did a great job…..go away devil……stop making me think i am sick of this broad…

P.S. What happened to J-Hud singing?

EXPOSURE, LIKE I SAID, THAT’S WHY SHE LEAKED TO THE MEDIA THAT SHE WAS SINGING TO THEIR FIRST DANCE LIKE….. NA NA NA NA NA BEOTHCHES

And to comment to Hannibal’s comment about darkskinned woman being inferior. You need to do your research sweetheart. Most succesful rich black woman are darker skinne woman. Oprah, Star Jones, Iman, Noami Campbell etc. Dark skinned woman were the only black woman in the supermodel game with the white woman. so buy a clue before you decided to open you mouth with some stupidity like that. And for the record Im not darkskinned but my mother is and my father is white so get it together

Little Bey, I can assume and have opinions all I want to: the FACTS are that Etta is the orginator and the innovator, and if she had been presented the invite, she would’ve likely taken advantage of it. I saw her perform last fall and, even approaching 70, she was GREAT. Picking B over E to sing E’s song wasn’t logical and only proved that B begged publicly for the pot so much that they gave in. Etta probably had too much dignity to do that.

Cee:

You have your right to have your opinion…I aint mad at u. But I am sure most would agree, the moment was so elegant and beautiful….Maybe next time Britney Spears can do it….At least a sista was chosen. Embrace the moment dont let the fact that the performer of YOUR choice wasnt asked to sing at the biggest moment in HISTORY….MINE WAS!

@Hannibal .. I think you mean Marilyn Monroe

Obama is the man, Michelle looked beautiful. And all you haters get off Bey’s nuts, she doing her 1,2 thing. She sounded great last night. Besides her little areolas showing thru her shirts it was ahhight.

Of course Queen Beyaki HAD to be the one to sing, Iam sick of her overexposed ass

Michelle and Barrack look sexy

Now if we can only incarcerate all the thugs in the world for 10 years to rehabilatate them. YOU ARE NOT A THUG, YOU ARE NOT A THUG, YOU ARE NOT A THUG, YOU ARE A PRODUCTIVE CITIZEN OF THE USA, YOU ARE A PRODUCTIVE CITIZEN OF THE USA.

@LYRIC

WRONG AGAIN, THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WOMEN ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE WHITE, THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS MCDONALD’S FAVORITE CUSTOMER, OPRAH, THE REST OF THE WOMEN U STATED ARE IRRELEVANT.

good grief!!! i never thought we were so damn needy as a people! im so tired of people moaning over this man like he’s the new playstation!! maybe if we had gotten this involved a long time ago things never wouldve gotten so bad. So what the pres is black &…….??????

history is done! it is in hte record books stop the complaints….

The Queen Bey sang for our new King!

apparently, a few of you didn’t HEAR
a thing Pres. Obama said(paraphrasing);
GROW THE ***** UP !!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S TIME
TO PUT AWAY CHILDISH THINGS !!!!!!!!!!
now, if you are a child, enough said; if
you’re grown & still have nothing better to do
than espouse nasty, hateful rhetoric that won’t
solve not one damned problem, i’ll pray for you..
God knows you need all the help you can get!
the obamas were beautiful, miss B. sounded fantastic…….now to get this country right-
for the first time in history !

LOL at 6:00

Michelle is a BLACK WOMAN indeed. Did you see how she started giving that head shake when Beyonce ripped that song???

That was so good. Bey sung her ass off and they looked so happy.

@ SOULWRITER!

YOU ARE TOO MUCH…DID YOU TALK TO ETTA OR BEY SINCE YOU KNOW SO MUCH????

IF SO, I WANT TO TALK TO BEY TOO SO TELL HER TO HIT ME UP!

This is what’s wrong with Black America, WE CANT FOCUS. My father in Heaven!!! This post isnt even about Beyonce, it is about Michelle and Barack and their first dance, which was a reflection of true beauty! Who cares if this was Etta’s song, damn, did you not realize she remade it for the track????? Did you even stop for a second to think that maybe Barack and Michelle requested this song?? I am sure they had a part in it.

Grow up Black People, Please, for your sake and mine. Can you take a moment to reflect positively without being so negative, I know its hard coming where you from, but every once in a while, you should give it a try.

God Bless America and Please help those who are so negative in their everyday life!

I AM LEAVING THIS SITE…I NEED TO BLOG WITH PEOPLE THAT ENJOYED LAST NIGHT!

HATERS!

I don’t think our president would like us bashing Beyonce. LOL Seriously can we just support each other. Brother hasn’t been President for 24 hours and we’re back to the same ole same ole.

are some of you people serious about Etta coming through to perform her song ‘At Last’. Etta is over 70 and has weight, knee and back issues which limited her performing abilities. I bet she was honored that Bey rocked the song for her. She could of did one of 9 Top 10 singles or countless other joints, but she went with the classic joint. Its some real Bey haters in the building today, lmao.

I have just decided from now on i will only read the titles and look at the pictures. I am so tired of the negativity. And don’t say it is your opinion, because if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem . I CAN’T STAND NEGATIVE ASS PEOPLE. MAYBE THEY DIDN’T WON’T ETTA JAMES TO SING.

Michelle is the opposite of Beyaki

She doesn’t wear frontlaces, she is well educated, she didn’t use a sexy image to get attention, she didn’t marry a ex-drug dealer who wears saggy pants

Beyaki represents stereotypes..

Michelle represents the future of black women

@ Hannibal

HI HATER!!!!

@ NANNETTE

I WAS TRYING TO GIVE A COMPLIMENT TO BLACK WOMEN. I NEVER KNEW COMPLIMENTS WERE STUPID.

SO MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE

@OCTAVIA

HELLO DARK BUTT!

@Sugar &Spice: you’re right,it would only make sense for Beyonce to sing another song because she doesn’t have any songs in her repertoire that would have been appropriate for the occasion. I’m not a big fan of her, but I’ll admit she did sound really good last night.

Who cares?? Etta,Bey,Mariah or Alicia in 10-20-30 years from now no one will remember the 1st dance!!!
The highlight of the day was at the Capitol= that’s what the whole world watched

beautiful night…

I knew people were going to make this post about Bey and this shouldn’t be about her. Honestly I don’t think the “At LAst” was the best choice period for the occasion. Something like “sweetest love” or “overjoyed” would’ve been better. Besides that I didn’t pay too much to the singing anyways because I was more focused on the Obamas looking wonderful and in love. That brought tears to my eyes.

Beautiful couple, God bless them as they start their new journey…

SOME MOTIVATION FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CANT SEEM TO HAVE THE POSITIVE DRIVE TO NOT BE NEGATIVE:

“Keep on going and the chances are that you will stumble on something, perhaps when you are least expecting it. I have never heard of anyone stumbling on something sitting down.”
-Charles F. Kettering

@ I Didn’t Kill the Dream

This bears repeating:

“…Black love that is not based in negativity – man and woman standing by each other’s side…what is so evident to me is how much they are a TEAM…Brothas and Sistas stand up take a lesson from Barack and Michelle – we can only accomplish so much without each other! Look what we can do together!!”

The part about being a TEAM is definitely on point, and it is my sincere hope that Black folks all over this country will look at our new President and his beautiful wife and see that their apparent love and affection for one another is a testament as to how truly great Black love is.

Amazing

negative/positive
sun/moon
good/bad
up/down

its life. the sooner yall get used to that fact the sooner youll recognize ur wanting everyone to be positive aint happening, in a ways thats kinda negative to nature itself.

Poverty breeds ignorance so its apparent where many are from or still are. I feel sorry for you and any of your offsprings because you will only continue to mold the same type of children as yourself. PUN intended.

I’ve just finished watching this and I have to see it again. Not a Bey fan but she did a good job. Etta’s voice has more soul than Beyonce’s. But nevertheless I just have to comment on how I felt the love between these two people. I don’t like Bey but I could actually feel her emotion with this song. Never better than the legend but it was good. I hope I can find a man that will love me like that. Michelle is one lucky woman.

Hello All!! It was a beautiful day in DC yesterday! God Bless America. Obama and his family are the best example of black people and they broaden other peoples’ view of us. To be so intelligent and so loving and respectful of each other…The concern for the common man…it makes me cry every time I think about it. I am grateful I was able to be there. You and old, people of all colors-we can do anything…I cant wait to have kids and let them know what they are capable of-ANYTHING!!!!

The Obamas were so beautiful together, and I am not a beyonce fan, but she did a beautiful job last night, coodos, she seemed to get emotional singing it, but we all were. They really do love each other, and you can see it every time they’re together.

You could see what the Prezzz had in mind. Yeah its going down in the oval office tonight!

UHHH maybe Beyonce sang “At Last” because it was the same song they danced to AT EVERY BALL!!!! Jesus Christ what bus did you morons teeter off from? Every ball they attended played a version of “At Last”, I guess it was thier official dance song, or something. And please with the “Beyonce begged her way on stage”, you may find this shocking but THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND BEYONCE!!!, maybe thier fans of hers *gasp*, but they are not obligated to do a damn thing, if its not what they want to do. But to say they planned the whole thing around Beyonce, just to fufill her wish is plain ole disturbing and retarded, maybe you hopeless heffas, go to sleep everynight cursing her name, but to the rest of society she’s just a entertainer, not the center of our thoughts, nor is she a source of any passionate emotions. That being said I thought she did a great job, and out of all the dances, TO THE SAME SONG!!, it seems they enjoyed that one the best. It was really a special moment.

Mathematically its IMPOSSIBLE to recouperate this monetary system. IT IS A PYRAMID SCHEME THAT HAS TO COLLAPSE. Make way for the second coming DEPRESSION, it’s part of capitalistic cycles. Obama has ALREADY succeeded by pacifying and hypnotizing the underclass and working class which (includes all shades of people). Obama was chosen years ago to be president by bankers because they knew the inevitability of failure. You dummies fell for the stunt because you rarely see a “successful black man”. Stop being neighborhood, baby daddy petty and investigate globalization on your own instead of staring at that idiot box all day. THE PRESIDENCY, THE NEW DRUG.

Yesterday in a hick town about 40 minutes outside of St. Louis,MO. the town had it’s first black mayor sworn into office…i couldn’t believe it, the only thing left is for a black grand dragon of the KKK to be elected, us BROTHAS can’t blame it on the WHITE MAN

…ANYMORE

IGNORANCE = Hannibal…GROW UP DUDE! SSDD!!!

Where is the LOVE?????

“DUDE”!!! STFU

I think Beyonce did an amazing job, i also think Barak and Michelle looked amazing I love them!! Beautiful night I wish them the best of luck over the next 8 years!!!! Stop hatin on Beyonce this is about our first family!!!

Can’t be mad at Beyonce for being about her business. Performing makes her happy and u ask me that’s what its about is your happiness…So all the people downing Beyonce…ask yourself…do u have what it takes to get out there and follow your Dreams and your Destiny…well obviously Beyonce does.

Love, Peace and All the HAPPINESS

First all, all you Bey haters need to calm down. Only speak about her when you know you’re facts. Bey was asked to perform, and it was her decision to sing At Last. That’s why they didn’t ask Etta to sing. Why wouldn’t they asked Bey to sing. You can love her or hate her, but the bottom line here is. She always has and always wiill be at the top of her game. That’s why they asked her to perform. Matthew nor Beyonce had to pull anything off, or pay anybody. She’s an international superstar, that represents success and hard work. She will always be asked to participate in events like this because of all her hard work and accomplishments. So haters GET A LIFE and GET A CLUE!!!! Take a page from her book, instead of hating learn something from it.

I see nothing has changed with some black women. The same hateful venom and jealously you spew will be passed on to your children. And then some you hateful sista’s wonder why you can’t find a man? We don’t want to deal with your negativity, just sad.

@MARKH320

I got the remedy bro.
YOU find YOUR own planet,and elect YOURSELF president. Then you can make the new world to your liking! I think that you would be a great president.

You know. The type that wouldn’t ever have conspiracies,or lack of judgement.

Can i come live on your planet?

think

Ya’ll Negros are crazy!

Bossip you have been repen for President Obama and First Lady Michelle since the beginning big ups! They are a Beautiful Blessed couple with a wonderful family and truly protray what alot of Black america really looks like!! For that I will always be grateful to them! They looked AMAZING last night and I was overwhelmed with Joy, excitement and happiness! I appreciate all who were willing to give and share their stories it made the whole day yesterday just that much better!! I was beside myself at work left for a two hour lunch to be with “family” and enjoy the best damn couple to ever grace the White house!! No matter what anyone says from this day forward I will pray for them always!!

Bey good look her parents should be proud. Jamie was funny. Mary was dynamic……hell I don’t have anything bad to say about yesterday! Sorry! ;p

barack has a smile out of this world!

LMAO @proudblackman, you’re right. I’m laughing how every black woman now thinks she’s a Michelle Obama sitting in her section 8 apartment, with her multi color weave, three inch acrylic nails and four baby daddies. I’m sorry but a black couple in the white house doesn’t mean every black man is going to turn into Bill Cosby and leave their non black girlfriends to wife up black chicks. The same no good thugs on the corner who don’t take care of their kids now aren’t going to have this sudden epiphany and start doing right by their children. But go ahead ladies, keep dreaming.

Taking this moment to be postive and happy for this country. Peace to you and yours.

IF YOU MAD ABOUT BEYONE SINGING……..go talk to our NEW PRESIDENT! He and michelle HAND SELECTED HER THEMSELVES. If you watched the news you would know something. She did amazing. Barack is of a new generation, beyonce is of our generation. He’s keeping thins young n youthful and relevant, this will go down in HISTORY! Get over it…our president is amazing and so is beyonce.

“I see nothing has changed with some black women. The same hateful venom and jealously you spew will be passed on to your children. And then some you hateful sista’s wonder why you can’t find a man? We don’t want to deal with your negativity, just sad.”

This is why, for the most part, a woman cannot raise a man. Haven’t you noticed how a lot of men these days act just like women? Hell, look at hip hop. Niggas with silk LV scarfs talking about SWAG. LOL

I remember watching my parents lovingly dance together when I was a girl. I’m sure Malia and Sasha will have a difficult task finding a great man like their father.

Haterz’ eat your HEART OUT!

Awww…they looked so cute dancing together…Bey tore it down, haters fall back!

How I loooove black love. The Obamas give me hope that black love is not dead and I can find it…Beyonce did a wonderful job and Michelle looked stunning!

@ AL B SURE LOOKIN BOY

LMAO!! On TV they were talking about how far Michelle inspires african american females (fashion style,education,ect) and the journalist said that Michelle Obama is a bit the “anti Beyonce”, she also said that Obama assumes her blackness, no hair extension and far from the rnb singers stereotypes so they say that’s why black females see her as a role model.
Speak the truth…

This is the prototype of the black family, PERIOD! They are the epitome of class & still very down to earth. If Michelle was WHITE, Barack would not be our President, PERIOD! We accepted her before we accepted HIM as she appeared to look like a SISTER and with his road travelled, she could definitely be of another race but again, i don’t think he would be President cuz if wee keepin it real, he would come off “not as down” with the black community!! I soooo embrace MICHELLE as MICHELLE IS ME!!

this is for YOU,bossip, and perez,etc.:
JOB WELL DONE !! your bloggospheres has accomplished so much more than ricky lake,maury povich,jerry springer— you allow ALL the ignorance,vindictiveness & just plain b.s.
come on out ! even the fools on these shows realized that they were there to do just that- act a fool ! these buttheads that frequent your sites
are serious in their hatefulness due to annonymity.
pat yourselves on the back, cash your blood monied
checks & tell yourselves ALL that you brought to the table to help pick this country up !

That’s exactly what they said “she is a sister” so black women can recognize themselves trough her

To all the haters…..Grow up and bask in the glory of the moment beyonce sounded great and who cares who sang the song first it was a moment of aww to see our president and first lady enjoing imprinting history and stop all the petty nit picking and give props where props are due.

In front of the whole world, our President and First Lady danced to a beautiful rendition of, “At Last.” Beyonce tore it up. You can tell the night was electric and filled with emotion. The way our president looked at her – how could anyone doubt the love between this man and his beautiful queen.

@BigDee, who said we wanted them to? Take your negative, black female hating behind somewhere else, loser. If you are dating outside your race, you are a credit to black women, so please knock that chip off your shoulder and get a life. The last time I checked, black women were about business, not in the streets killing one another like SOME of your arrogant, self-righteous “brothas” do, so please. Thank God President Obama’s mentality has surpassed those of uneducated Negroes like you.

NOW THERE ARE GONNA BE BARBECUES AT THE WHITE HOUSE, BASKETBALL GAMES, COUSINS RUNNIN ALL OVER THE WHITE HOUSE, KOOL-AID AND DU-RAGS LEFT ALL OVER THE PLACE, SMH…

I swore I was going to turn over a new leaf and not respond to brain dead posters, but I’ve fallen. Forgive me. This is a happy occasion in spite of the anti-Beyonce sentiment. This isn’t even about Beyonce.

Why does everyone dislike her so?

Two Harvard educated lawyers are in the white house

And blacks still using the word “Haters” cause people are upset that their favorite front lace wearing R&B singer is considered overexposed too many people

What a joke black folks are..

The Dawn of a NEW DAY!

-Jaye

@ Hannibal , that’s okay you still have A BLACK MAN AS YOUR PRESIDENT, SMART GOOD LOOKING BLACK MAN.

I WILL NEVER FORGET ALL OF U PEOPLE WHO HAD THE AUDACITY TO VOTE FOR HIM, HILARY WAS BY FAR A BETTER CHOICE…

@ Hannibal, Oh yeah not only do you have a BLACK PRESIDENT, to show you how great of a man he is. He is not only down for the black race, He is for every race all people no matter what color. Let’s not forget a black man and a white woman produced a great man. Your President, IF you don’t like it leave the United States of America, nobody is holding you hostage.

@ hannibal,Hillary is in the past, she will have to wait eight years until Obama leaves. Then she can run again. But look at this great black man, he gave Hillary a job. would she have done the same for him? I remember how her a Bill thought this was a joke. Obama is not perfect but nobody could stop what was suppose to happen.

I just read that Muhammad Ali was at the inauguration..

That’s great

Beautiful, classy couple. No doubt they’re absolutely into each other.

@NANETTE

NO, I LOVE THE U.S., I JUST THINK THE WORST THING AMERICA COULD DO WAS VOTE A BLACK MAN FOR PRESIDENT, KNOWING WE ARE THE RACIST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. I MEAN DAMN, DONT U PEOPLE REALIZE THE KKK WILL BE ON HIS ASS LIKE NBA PLAYERS ON WHITE WOMEN.

I’m black, but often I wonder what it would be like to be a member of a race known for expecting/applauding/pushing excellence and success. A race who will help out another member because they feel a kinship and allegiance with them. A race who realizes and acts like they can stick together and do great things!

Because obviously even with such a great example (the Obamas), most black people don’t and I guess WON’T EVER get it. Ridiculous!

@ Hannibal

Clinton/Bush dynasties, no matter how good Hillary can be as a president, it’s bad sign for a democracy when a few families “confiscate” the power.

@DAVINA

HILARY HAS WAY MORE EXPERIENCE THAN BARACK, AND WHAT EXACTLY IS BARACK GONNA CHANGE?

Now that’s a beautiful strong black couple! President Barack Obama!

@ Hannibal, you don’t know his future, what world are you living in That was yesterday. The KKK don’t have it like that no more. They ass in some damn back of the woods talking shit, cause aint nothing they can do about it in 2009. The cops have a better chance at it then the damn KKK. Hell Obama will be okay, holla back at me in four years, Let’s give the man a chance since it;s a done deal. look at Oprha the KKK did not touch her. They ass don’t have the money like they use too. You gotta come better than that. Why complain over spoiled milk. The people have spoken. Like white families before him we gave them respect, it works two ways. People are people there is not a nickel worth of difference. Poor white people, dumb white people, you just don’t see it on TV. Yall see that beautiful black color on that TV and like most can’t handle the truth. A lie will not hold. The cream always rises to the TOP.

@ SMDH aka SEXY CHOCOLATE SYRUP SAUCE – tell ‘em

Last night was a beautiful moment in American & World history. I find it sad but true that some people are allowing a talented singer to over shadow a legendary time. Small minds exist & it’s poison. The common theme was “making
“it” happen”. Working hard & staying focused will enable you to accomplish all of your goals & raise the bar. Most people that posted probably did not attend any of the balls!

The Obamas looked great together!!!!!!!!

As far as Beyonce, now ya’ll are takin it too damn far.

Why didn’t they get Etta James to sing the song? Maybe because she’s a 71 year old woman that ain’t been in the spotlight in what 30-40 years????

Damn, what part of her being asked to perform don’t you haters understand?

Bey gets a chance to sing for the first african american president of the United States and she’s gonna turn it down because of what you haters think?

Get a freakin life

Of course she has more experience but my point is not “who is the best”. But if some powerful families keep/exchange the power that’s not a democary anymore! It’s an oligarchy

HE WONT LAST LONG, BUT CONGRATS…

LOL – I just LOVE to rub this mans win in the face of his haters!! Whats wrong you couldn’t stop him from winning?!?! LOL!! Get over it!! He’s in and he’ll do the whole 8 years!! Deal with it!!!

I love it! I cried again watching it. They love each other sooo much and support each other…you can see it. Do u c they way they look at each other??? That is real love.

I’LL GIVE HIM 2 YEARS…AND THEN JOE BIDEN WILL BE THE RIGHTFUL PRESIDENT

That was beautiful. There was a moment when he was looking deeply into her eyes and I was like, “Damn..he REALLY really loves her!”

We have two Black Harvard Elite Graduates in the Whitehouse, yet the most overused word throughout this blog is HATER, SWAG, and the typical, defamation of the character of BEYONCE.

PULL IT TOGETHER BLACK PEOPLE, LEARN TO TAKE PRIDE IN THOSE WHO EXCEL, I KNOW IT WILL BE HARD, BUT JUST TRY IT.

BEFORE YOU CAST A STONE ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE IN LIFE, PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO EXAMINE THE BRICK ON WHICH YOU STAND

They looked beautiful together! They ooze sexy! Obama was putting it on Mitchell (pulling her close, nestling her neck, I loved it), I shouldn’t imagine how they capped the night off, but I bet the jumped on the good foot and did the bad thing LOL! I love seeing healthy, positive, African American love. Priceless, I want this to be an example of the type of respect, strength, courage, intelligence etc. we all have the power to attain. Beyonce did an interview with Robin from the Good Morning show and that was the most honest/real I’ve ever seen her. I’m glad she wasn’t on stage with The First couple, it wasn’t about her, it was about them, but I think she gets that, respects that and admires that. No hating on B for that one! They’re beautiful inside and out!

I think that the people tearing down the people tearing down beyonce are just as bad get off of your high horse. I didnt see any comments directed toward me and I didnt take offense to the comments about said “haterz” because that shoe does not fit me. However I did understand the post one person said about Etta reppin Chi town and The President reps Chi-town to the fullest..who knows why they chose her..she did do a great job. I have extra volume and or lithium..relax open your eyes and pay attention to what really matters and whats really going on.

@ WWOD and suger &spice,

1st off this post is about Barack &Michelle Obama,why do you have to start hating on Beyonce. 2nd,”At Last” isnt Etta James’ song,is didnt even write it. That song was covered 2 or 3 times and was released 20yrs before she recorded it.”At Last!” is a 1941 song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren. research before you hate!!

@ SMDH aka SEXY CHOCOLATE SYRUP SAUCE-
I 100% co-sign with ur last 2 post. Speak the truth girl!

BEYONCE KILLED IT!!!!!!!! GET IT B!!!!!

Obama was dancing with Michelle but thinking about getting Bey in that oval office.

Hannibal is such a Puss*. Everytime his dumb ass wants to start shi* he takes his gravy down. What a stupid uncle tom. He is a black man who hates his own skin. He stated that on previous threads

@ANONIMISS

I HAVE AN UNCLE NAMED TOM. ANYWAYS, HOP OFF MY DICK AND GO READ A BOOK OR SOMETHIN.

Beyonce did a geat job last night singing for the president.

@ Hannibal.

You stupid dumb cunt. Instead of trying to start shit you need to examine yourself and why you hate being black. You are an asshol* .your mother should of aborted your dumb black ass

@Hannibal

Killer, you didn’t comment on Scarface thread? Face da shit.

The dance was beautiful and Beyonce did a great job. Wasn’t an over-the-top Beyonce signature performance and that was good because it wasn’t about her and I love that she figured that out. Mr. President and his First Lady looked amazing. They’re such a stunning couple and I truly admire them, their love and family values.
GOD BLESS THEM

@ANONIMISS

WHY DO U HATE ME SO MUCH, IS IT BECUZ I DIDNT VOTE FOR BARACK BECUZ HE IS BLACK, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

It is like a dream. Obama (that’s my dog).

@Hannibal….shut up! Anyway, Beyonce did a fabulous job last night… she genuinely was touched and it was such a pleasure seeing her with real emotions for a change.. Of course, the President & First Lady was beautiful…. so glad that being in love, expressing love and showing open affection for the one you love is back in style!!

Wow

that seemed like a wonderful moment!!
as for beyonce, man who cares! Im from France and I have the feeling that there is only one singer over there! lol! its like no one else can have the chance to do something and shine! is it me or is it really like that?! well, we should be proud of our peopl doing good by them, but we should not support a systm that allow only very few of us (symbolic) to succeed and keep the others quiet because of the so called faith that they will make it one day! Its BS! There are a lot of talented people out there but they don’t want to see them! beyonce wont help them since she wants to do everyting by herself,and be the center of the world! but we can pray that things will change one day cause right now, its BORING!!!!

@LADY J

BITCH, U HAVE NO RIGHT TALKIN TO ME LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY BECUZ U ARE A LADY, NOW APOLOGIZE!

btw,barack and michelle are the perfect couple!
I wish i had the same ability as michelle to spot the greatest man!!! And no, im sure barack is not thinking about banging Bey! If he wanted that kind of woman, maybe he would be with someone like her by now?!
Obviously, he likes his woman natural, and EDUCATED! I know many men don’t care about their women having an education and a bangin body is enough for them but some actually DO care!

beyonce look like angel though!

@ I’m black, but often I wonder what it would be like to be a member of a race known for expecting/applauding/pushing excellence and success. A race who will help out another member because they feel a kinship and allegiance with them. A race who realizes and acts like they can stick together and do great things!

Because obviously even with such a great example (the Obamas), most black people don’t and I guess WON’T EVER get it. Ridiculous!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I sure hope you are not letting anonymous retards on a gossip site (e.g. hannibal)make you think that black people agree with them. This is the internet… where maldapted misfits hide amongst normal people and seek attention (again, e.g. hannibal). There is no way to even know if the people who post here ARE black. I have doubts about quite a few of em. Trust and believe, the vast majority of blacks in America are very proud of has happened in our nation.

^ the previous comment was in response to “me”.

OCTAVIA, THE WAY U TALK ABOUT ME, ITS TURNIN ME ON…

test

Despite Beyonce warbling through one of my all-time favorite songs, the first dance was very beautiful.

I, too, hope that my future husband one day looks at me with as much love as our President looks at Michelle — truly inspiring.

What a slap in the face to the LEGENDARY ETTA JAMES. She is such an incredible singer.

Beowulf is such a media whore. I wonder how many people she had so suck of to get that chance. For every deperate woman (and this slut was very desperate) there is someone to take advantage of her. Dumb bitch.

I hope Blue Hippo comes along and repossess some of your computers.

Both your site and MTO have headlines about Beyonce singing at the ball. Can you please put up Aretha Franklin singing at the Inaguration.

“WHY DO U HATE ME SO MUCH, IS IT BECUZ I DIDNT VOTE FOR BARACK BECUZ HE IS BLACK, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE”

Well seeing that he won without your vote, that would make you IRRELEVANT as so many black males are, huh?!?!?

Much respect to the President and First Lady.

It’s wonderful to know and see that Black Love is still strong and representing. On a lighter note….President Swag can’t dance….the walk overcomes that though.

Why does every section have people hating blackmen/women?

Remedy: DON’T LOOK FOR RUIN. Are YOU GUYS that BRAIN DEAD, to find people that will bring you down,enough to hate your own? QUESS SO!

I guess that some people are born,looking for the worst,or they can’t distinguish between right or wrong! HENCE THE BLACKWOMAN/BLACKMAN ATTACKING,NAMECALLING ET.AL.

Maybe you guys are trolls, working for BOSSIP,so that the site can get hits! (PROBABLY!) lol!

getting on a site,talking about how bad the blackman/woman is won’t fix ANY situation, but it makes people question YOUR MINDSET!

think

It’s wonderful to know and see that Black Love is still strong and representing. On a lighter note….President Swag can’t dance….the walk overcomes that though.

Watch out… There are self hating white ass chasing coons out there who feel like anyone who supports black love is being racist and living in the past…. There are literally ignorant apes out there who think if you’re not uplifting black and white love thensomething is wrong with you…..

SMDH!!

The Obamas were the bomb! Makes you wanna do the right things. As a matter of fact,with the amount of people that showed up,it SHOULD make us realize that BLACKS DO STICK TOGETHER,AND THAT THE TYPICAL HATER JUST MAY BE THE MINORITY!!!

Hip,hip,hooray!

PS.Obama, at this very moment is in the process of cutting white house salaries!

think

@SMDH aka SEXY CHOCOLATE SYRUP SAUCE… good to see your holding back how u really feel.

that was simply beautiful.

@SMDH,

You know its more likely to expirience a fake domestic violence arrest and bastard children than black love when dealing with an American black female.

They are just too high risk for brothers who have it together.

@ Anonimiss

I don’t understand your post to Hannibal. I mean, don’t you KNOW that this guy is a troll? He just wants to get noticed.

It’s your fault that he even exists. If you wouldn’t respond he’d go away.

think

@SMDH,

What happened to your other gravies? I know 6am Ho was always wondering about your ever changing gravies.

@ Tiray

That is true. The other internet troll Kigali just came on too. That won’t stop anyone from arguing with her idiotic notions. On your mark get set go!!…………………….

Actually,i’m on such a high from last night, that can’t even THINK about hate!

Ready,set, LET’S ALL GO GET A MARGARITA FROM EL TORITO!!

think

THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY. OUR FIRST AFRICAN AMERICAN PRESIDENT & FIRST LADY (THEY ARE EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE, WELL EDUCATED, CLASSY, AND IN LOVE) THANK GOD! I LIVED TO SEE THIS MOMENT.

You big girls just LOVE hatin on Beyonce don’t you? LOL

This first dance brought tears to my eyes last!
Un-freakin believable!

i rather have beyonce

BEYONCE’S PERFORMANCE WAS FLAWLESS & THE SONG WAS VERY APPROPRIATE FOR THE OCCASION. BEY LOOKED AMAZING (HAIR, MAKEUP & DRESS)SHOWS SHE SHE IS A FIRST CLASS PERFORMER. CONGRATS!

Devigne
Isn’t it something? I really feel you.
If you’re over, ah,ahm,er, 40!~You’ve seen some things,that alot of these bloggers can’t even dream about! That’s why i’m so happy.
(9mm’s being pulled on me by 10 cops my my OWN house,cause some white kat had his wallet stolen.And the cops said that they would shoot,if i blinked or scratched. The cops even said that ,they could do this because they won’t have problems if they killed a n!gger!!

So coming from my world, this is the bomb!!

think

umm, beyonce have no soul and she shouldntve samg this song. some of yall was/is bigging her up like it was awesome and it wasnt. lawd have mercy anything this chick do some of yall praise her for it.

BEYONCE’S PERFORMANCE WAS FLAWLESS & THE SONG WAS VERY APPROPRIATE FOR THE OCCASION. BEY LOOKED AMAZING (HAIR, MAKEUP & DRESS)SHOWS SHE IS A FIRST CLASS PERFORMER. CONGRATS!

I’m tired of people Jacking my screen name.

Everyone has flaws. I am not going to comment on their marriage. I don’t know what it entails. I refuse to put people on a pedestal. They have a great public image and I hope they uphold to it.

I am glad Barack won the presidency but some people are reaching with this black love speech. You can’t possibly know how 2 people feel for one in a marriage because they are in the public light.

Anyone can smile for the camera and behave in a dignified manner when in a public setting. Humans are not perfect, Everyone has flaws.

It is nice that they are both college educated and waited for marriage to have children.

@Bossipkeepshitgoing

Contrary:

Anything ANY black person does talent wise gets BIG UPS FROM ME!

@Treasure

Are you upset because they seem flawless? Can’t you see that you have HATER tendencies?

Try to see BEYOND your mindset!

possible?

think

I was soooooooooo glad to see a happy black couple truly in love……neither of them were cutting and rolling their eyes at each other or anything………THEY REALLY SEEM HAPPY AND IN LOVE !!!

Big upS to the OBAMA FAMILY ( THE FIRST FAMILY )

This was absolutely breath taking!!!

I don’t know why so much focus on Beyonce. She sang well. It is annoying.

Mary j performed twice why not hate her? Oh yeah, Mary is not a stunning Beauty like Beyonce so you have to find something negative to say about beyonce out of jealousy. Aretha Franklin didn’t sound her best last night. I think she had throat issues from the cold. Mariah was off key and struggling. The quality of her voice seems to be diminishing. Why so much focus on Beyonce? She did well and looked great. Trying to discredit her makes you look envious. I’m no Beyonce Stan but I give credit where it is due. I have enough self confidence to compliment someone instead of trying to find flaws to make myself feel better.

Okay besides the hate going on in this post (some of you really need to just take a deep breath and step away from the post), this first dance was so beautiful. Michelle and Barack looked so in love with each other, I thought they were gonna start passionate kissing right there lol. The love was SO apparent. I have nothin’ but love for these two!

P.S.: Yes I would have preferred someone else sang besides Beyonce, but she did alright. The presidential couple seemed to like it. It’s THEIR dance so end of story.

——————————————————————————————————–

I’m no hater. I just don’t like to see people putting celebs and politicians on a pedestal. Every Marriage is not perfect. Everyone has imperfections. The only one perfect is god. I don’t praise humans. That is not being a hater.

I’m not acquainted with these people. I don’t know about their relationship. You can see your next door neighbors smiling and happy everday but you dont know what goes on behind closed doors. I don’t look at celebs and politicians as role models. We only see an image that they try to maintain. Not the real person and their character. That is not being a hater. That is not have obscured ideas about people I don’t know.

Typo:

Not having obscured ideas about people I don’t know.

Kiggali is a self hating person full of lies and half truths. Kigali you never add anything useful to any dialogue. YOu remind me of one of these hate filled beyonce hatin bitches always talking out of the side of your neck making massive generalizations acting as the lead bossip therapist and you don’t know sh!t. Your life has to be miserable. You and sucksauce are the polar opposites with the exception of the vicious venom she spews against ALL black men. You two would make a f**ked up couple, but I’m sure you both know that once a person gets to know the real you they’re outta the picture anyway. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again your negativity is only destroying you because all you do is b1tch on a gossip site like a desperate lonely attention wh0re seeking to destroy instead of build. You hold no medical license and I’m sure you are aware that if you have not been bestowed either by a specified government-approved professional association or a government agency you are not authorized to practice medicine or issue diagnosis. Yes you have the right of free speech but your ignorant azz is never talking about anything other than the awful female role models in your household. Seek therapy because its obvious that you’re talking about yourself each time you type.

Hate your emotion of choice. Pathetic!

@Treasure, you’re right. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors, and I’m sure they’d be the first to admit they’ve had their issues just like any other couple, but for me, the way they looked at each other last night – there was no denying that they are truly in love and dedicated to each other. Until I hear the contrary (i.e., he cheated on her, he has other children outside their marriage or they are splitting up), I’m going to believe what I see. I do hear what you’re saying though.

@ Word to the wise

Thank you. I don’t want to make disparaging remarks about their relationship. But I certainly don’t want to have on rose colored glasses.

I don’t give a DAMN what nobody says!! So shit you just can’t fake!!! If The Obamas had problems in their marraige don’t you think for a minute them hound dogs of the media wouldn’t be on top of it!! You don’t have to be all up in there behind the scence to see it……..Hell it’s apparent! Well let me just say apparent to those who KNOW what real LOVE is anyway…..so you right you can’t see it cause you so full of HATE……SMDH too bad so SAD for you!

Tiray I’m with you…….THINK!

It was a beautiful night for all, so much pride for all people, lay off of Beyonce she did a beautiful job. When will we learn just to be positive.

This is a new day!

@ DimePiece

You people are pathetic. We are talking about one of the greatest moments in history, and you are still hating on Beyonce and the whole At Last song…the girl sounded good, looked good and it was a great moment…some people will never get it together…so sad.

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

Okay wait, you say some ppl will never get it together but you refer to yourself as “change”?!!! WTF?! Are you serious? Mama take a look at yourself in the mirror, go over your goals, re-evaluate your priorities & tell me what man in his right, eva’ lovin’ mind would wife a broad that refers to herself a “dime piece” (besides someone w/ their own selfish motives)- girl, get over the videos and reconsider your motives. Your a queen my dear, whether you believe it or not & remember YOU ARE WHAT YOU SAY YOU ARE!

I am just about to be done with Bossip. Some of ya’ll just let yesterday come and leave and have taken no time to reflect or really cultivate what Obama is all about. Beyonce isn’t my favorite artist, but she is talented as hell and it’s about time some of ya’ll start looking at the big picture and seeing and understanding what being a good and successful artist is about. The Obamas chose B to sing…why are ya’ll hung up about Etta James? It was one of the most beautiful moments I have ever witnessed and it’s a shame some of you uncompromising people are trying to take away from it with cliche Beyonce bashing…and rhetoric over things that just don’t matter. Obama has inspired me to believe in myself so much more, but last night he made me believe in love again. Here it is a couple of days after MLK day and some of you just choose to down your own people. In the words of Lawrence Fishburnes character in “School Daze” WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BEY WAS GORGEOUS AND SHE’S HERE TO STAY…DEAL WITH IT!

@ Treasure

Everyone has imperfections. The only one perfect is god. I don’t praise humans. That is not being a hater.
********************

Damn, you really hit my heart! It’s very very rare that you hear ppl sayn stuff like that. I’m sure you mean well but ppl will take things & read into things they wanna hear or see – I understand what your sayn but let ppl have their moment of joy … save face & leave them be (for now).

Beautiful!

@Detroiter4Life

I don’t appreciate you back handed comments about me. I’m not full of hate because I don’t make assumptions about people through images on photos and how they conduct themselves on TV. I am not some 20 year old girl with childish views about love. I can look at someone adoringly and be affectionate with them in public and loathe their soul inside. I have been around long enough to know everything that glitters is not indeed gold. I’m not being negative, I’m just not going to be misled into ideas about true love. I hope they are truly happy. Their relationship is really none of my business. As long as he does a good job I really don’t care.

@ okay wait …

Hey I’m not miss kill joy. That’s Kigali’s job

They are so beautiful!

Why is beyonce the worst? Lord help her, she couldn’t even give up Sasha for the first dance?

I watched at least 20 news programs since last night’s ball and not one of them mentioned that Beyonce sang the first song.

Not one. I think they also have Beyonce overload.

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL MOMENT, DAMN HE IS SEXY…

LMAO @ da Beyonce comments already…

***bout 2 grab a snack, cause ya’ll be buggin but ya’ll be funny as hell***

WRONG AGAIN, THE MOST SUCCESSFUL WOMEN ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE WHITE, THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS MCDONALD’S FAVORITE CUSTOMER, OPRAH, THE REST OF THE WOMEN U STATED ARE IRRELEVANT.

Barack is not the father of that second child. The first one is his, I guess he just “accepts” the second one.

GOD IS GOOD

first of let me give praise to my beyonce! she did a wonderful job nobody was ment for that spot but her people hatein on her cause she on top of her game more then any one women and a gay ass fag boy in here. moveing on to diss………

I see nothing has changed with some black women. The same hateful venom and jealously you spew will be passed on to your children. And then some you hateful sista’s wonder why you can’t find a man? We don’t want to deal with your negativity, just sad.

you and that other black bitch man…. black men are so jealoussssssssssssss cause obama is a better black men then a 100% shity ass black man it dont matter you aint got to be a thug you still not shit as a black man u and you wont be shit by the way black men are ugly i date out my race. any who black men are mad cause they really cant say obama is a full black man haha BUT WE GOTTA FULL BLACK WOMAN WHO IS THE FIRST LADY WE CAN SAY THAT life is good. black men so jealous smh lol we ahead of you. obama white ass ugly bitch ass mother is dead like she belong and his grandama is dead god killed them off haha lol his dad was african and left his ho ass mother they was not even married she was an ho. black men are mad cause obama married A BLACK WOMAN thats why yall jealous. keep on hateing bitches the man is black his white side dont count.

@ “da darkness”

In what way is this your 40 acres and a mule? It ain’t mine and I definitely don’t get that. Black folks thinkin the struggle has now disappeared/is irrelevant/no longer needed…is that what u mean? Are you thinking it’s all good now? Cause just last more than one of us made national news by being murdered by pigs.

yall need to stop hating on Bey. If you were here you would take that amazing oppurtunity given to you as well. stop being to negative. anyway obama looks so smooth with his lil bo tie! I love black love. this is wonderful!

I love black love. Let’s keep them lifted in prayer.

Beyonce’ is my bitch – and im sorry – but vocally, she did that! Her voice control is awesome and she always strives for perfection.

Word will never express the pride I feel. GOD is good.

I aint hating on bey cos she did her thing and all but… i think it would have been just that little bit more special if Etta would’ve preformed it.

I just love it every part of it beyonce was good president obama and first lady made me cry they so beautiful black love is the best

To the poster that said one of the girls wasn’t Obamas get off of Bossip. That is so disrepectful and hateful. Don’t say anything about anybody’s child.

Getting back to the first couple. Michelle made amends after that black widow fiasco. She was simply gorgeous. Her dresses were so chic, pretty and so was she. She is really pretty and both of them looked “slammin”.

Gorgeous. Just Gorgeous ! Much love to the President and his Queen. BLACK WOMEN STAND UP ! I’ve always known you are beautiful (Black women) now the whole knows it! BLACK WOMEN STAND UP !

Bossip, you really need to clean up your site. For all the promotion that you consistently did for Obama and his family throughout the election, I’m sure it wouldn’t be that much of a stretch for you to at least ONE day, control your own site. For once, have a site where positivity, harmony and unity are evident throughout the portion of the black race that frequents your site. Its 2009, its a new day. Let’s do better people.

With that said, as is its been mentioned before, words can not express all the emotions that I feel! The pride, the confidence, the hope. And although I am young, I can not WAIT to tell my children and grandchildren about this day. And God’s willing, I’ll be able to have a love, like they have, to share those future moments with.

Mr. President keep up the good work. Continue to show Black men and the world what a Black man is suppose to be…Taking care of Black women and children and esteeming the beauty of Black women; a beauty that is imitated but can’t be duplicated.
BLACK WOMEN STAND UP !

Black men stand up and take notice! This man truly is in love with his wife. I hope that all of the rappers who supported Mr. President will look at the love he has for his wife and the respect that he has for women in general. This is a lesson learned. My brothers, take note and I promise you that your relationships with your loved one will be sooo much better! Also, look at the way he shower love love onto his girls as well. Great father!

Beautiful

bwahahahaha
*dead* @

“I hope Blue Hippo comes along and repossess some of your computers.”

My favorite part of the ball is when he said something to the effect of ‘first of all how good-looking is my wife’. That’s what I’m talking about…Esteem…Esteem…It was BEAUTIFUL ! Black women all over the world stand up !

AT LAST – Something we can all be proud of – 2 million people converge upon Washington DC and not a single arrest = Free At Last!

WE have waited so long for this. I was in tears watching it.. We love to MR. ANd mRs. Obama

p.s. – Can we PLEASE not make the Obama presidency nor the first dance or inauguration about bey – who was not selected by Obama nor Michelle but the Inaugural Committee in conjunction with the advertising stations who are all about dollars and who can pull in the biggest audience. Everyone wanted Jennifer (who declined) then bey went on a national tour about the honor it would be if she could sing for the Obama’s making it difficult for the committee to decline her (whatever they want me to do speech) w/o it looking like she had been snubbed personally by the Obama’s. matthew knew what he was doing when he had her to that.

So lets stay focused and not make this presidency nor inaugural about bey which is what she and her father wants. It goes w/o saying Bey sung At Last trying to drum up interests in her movie which bombed.

Stay focused America – it won’t be about Bey if we choose AT LAST not to make this another year about her – our kids should have better role models – like Obama/Michelle.

Jane Doe

I aint hating on bey cos she did her thing and all but… i think it would have been just that little bit more special if Etta would’ve preformed it.

—————————————————————————————————–

Oh please Etta is damn near 80 years old. I’m sick of this B.S. Beyonce is on top of her game and she is relevant and she is the top choice. Not no damn Etta james. If it werent for the movie most of yall making comments wishing to see ETTA don’t even know who the hell she is. You just want to try to discredit Beyonce’s talent.

uuuh, where was Etta.

Beyonce did okay, but her performance of this song instantly question where the heck is Etta James.

@WWOD & Me

At such an amazingly profound moment, why is it that Black people (our own) have to be so hateful! Where does that comment even come into play, you tasteless tacky MF’as!!!

The First couple requested that Beyonce sing the song, because she sang her ass off at the Fashion Rocks show singing Etta James’ song! No one said it was Beyonce’s song, because the world recognizes Etta James as the originator/innovator of Divadom!!

Whether you like her or not, Beyonce Knowles is a talented woman, who is successful, because she is TALENTED! It was a beautiful performance at an amazing occassion for an awe inspiring President & First Lady!

@ Hannibal,

Being older and sleeping next to a former President does not make you qualified or experience and the last time I checked, she is Sec .of State and BARACK OBAMA is President! HALLELUJAH!! Thank you Jesus!!

When whitney houston was singing I’m every woman Everybody wasn’t begging for Chaka Kahn. People make other peoples songs over all the time.

These Beyonce haters is getting to be annoying. I’m no stan but she is talented and the hate is unpleasant.

Like someone previously stated before, it’s NOT EVEN ETTA’S SONG!!!!!! Some of you people’s idiocy never ceases. She was like the third person to do a cover of the song. Idiots.

The Obamas know that they are changing history and the fact that they are doing it together is the icing on the cake! Love is definitely not lost.

Plus, 99% of you mofos have never even bought an Etta James album or supported ANY of her work. Now ya’ll wanna bitch and moan about someone doing a cover of a song that SHE covered herself.

It never seems to amaze me of how many people hate Beyonce but woulfd devote their time to even typing some shit about her pleez believe me when i tell ya there are plenty of people on this site who sy the most foul unbeleivable crap out of their mouths and i skip right over it. Some of you need to do the same when it comes to Beyonce.
(((((mumbles to self……. So sick of these asses bringing her in every post they are making me tired of her!))))

@ Juice

Thank you. my point exactly. Whitney houston did I will always love you after Dolly parton sang it first . Nobody wasn’t asking for Dolly to do it again. They are a bunch of haters who want to see Beyonce fail. Why i don’t know. It is just sickening and pathetic.

@ Flawdargurl

They even brought up Beyonce in the thread about Nas and kelis having a baby. They are so stupid. They have Beyonce on their mind no matter what the occasion. I’m tired of it. If she was just an average looking girl those haters wouldn’t be so quick to seize the moment to make negative statments about her.

they both can dance. i think they are cool.

Tired of Bey Haters

Half of them know if they could sing and was asked by the Obamas to do this they would jump on it singing anybody’s song, hell most of yall who cant sing wouldn’t have turned that down. She must have felt overjoyed singing to them b/c i’ getting butterflys just watching the whole scene. Now this is priceless.

Where the heck are Michelle and Kelly, I bet they
were both somewhere saying it was not supposed to be
like this-we were all supposed to make it

Oh Dolly actually performed that song numerous times after Whitney blew that sucker off the charts but nobody noticed b/c she is country.

lol@ Cassie

OMGoodnessgracious!! Lord have mercy! Somebody get me a tissue! That chiffon gown by Jason Wu was fabulous with the hand applied appliques and crystals, very modern chic, laid back and smooth like the first lady! They are the most beautiful couple and they are so in love and have so much respect for one another. Chivalry ain’t dead and black men, my black men, a shout out to all the ones like Obama, who still represent the true gentleman. And Ms. Beyonce – you work girl!!!!! Etta James is a fierce diva, you handled her song well.

The President and The First Lady are a gorgeous couple. Their love for one another is so real, you can touch it. Their daughters are beautiful and intelligent young ladies. I wish them all infinite blessings, longevity, light and love.
God Bless our Commander-in-Chief, his family, and all of us, American and non.

Black folks, do you see now, why we were so oppressed at a time? We come from Kings and Queens. We are the original Homo Sapien Sapien. Our greatness is immeasurable. Now, let’s do some great things, people!!!!!!!!

@ Hannibal
normally, I would not even acknowledge your presence, but I am compelled to tell you that you are truly a waste of semen. I bet you don’t have any friends.

Self-hatred & low self-esteem is deeply reflected in the black community. I’m talking black-on-black hating, jealousy, killing, and relentless denigrating of each other. Enough already…time is of the essence. Real ladies know to look past the hood or thugs to get a man of Barack Obama’s status. The king found his queen and she (Michelle) can hold her own as well. This has to do with personal values/morals and self-worth, which is often missing in most fatherless homes of the black community. Ladies has to start with each of us instilling values in sons that will one day become men so that we can regenerate worthwhile black men in the community. “F” a thug…losers!

Can I just add that Michelle O.’s bone structure is gorgeous. She’s absolutely stunning. 100% Puro~

Did you all see the pic of him on his first day in the Oval Office?? My favorite pic of him so far.

Hannibal, Jesus is watching and listening. Didn’t you hear your president yesterday? This is an new era of responsiblity and accountability. You will be accountable for everything you do and say. There is absolutely no doubt about it.

To Mr. President and the new First Lady,

Your black love is universal love. God bless protect and keep you and your family. Give our new president wisdom that can only come from You, Lord.

Keep this family strong and may they be an example to our community about what it means to be young, gifted and black. May our men see the love our President has for his family and follow suit. May our women exude the class, intelligence and dignity of our First lady and show the world that we as a people are better than what we were told to believe. Thank you Lord, that I am living in this time, in this moment when I can say we have a African American president of the United States of America.

In Your Son’s Name, Amen

<<<<<<<< THIS MONUMENTAL COUPLE SHOWS THE ENTIRE WORLD WHAT THE ‘COSBY SHOW TRIED TO RELAY IN THE 80′S AND 90′S; AND THAT’S INTELLECTUAL LOVING BLACK FAMILIES EXIST!!!!!!!!!! MANY FOLKS ARE NOW LOOKING AT ALL THE YEARS BLACK PEOPLE HAVE BEEN STEREOTYPED AS BEING LAZY, UNEDUCATED, THUGS ETC. BUT NOW THEY SEE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO TELL THEM FOR SO MAN YEARS,tHIS COUPLE IS BRINGING ALL PEOPLE OF ALL COLORS AROUND THE WORLD TOGETHER AS ONE!!!!!! YES THEY DID!!!!!

HI TO sASHA AND MALIA SOOOOO CUTE AND PROUD OF THEIR LOVING PARENTS!!!! :}

@ Lee:

I was thinking the same thing. The lady IS 71!! i mean really. Half these guys would not even know her if Beyonce didn’t ressurrect her memory. Etta is a legend for sure, but come on! People saying they would have felt ‘slighted’ if they were Etta? Give me a break!! Stop looking for reasons to hate. Why do women constantly feel the need to compete with other women. Beyonce IS a succcess. So What. Be happy for her and DO YOU!

GROW UP!!

ugh!

So funny: ” how good looking is my wife”

Michelle: clap clap clap…realises what he said…
stops clapping…embarrased blush…shakes her head “no no no”

hahahah sooooo flipping cute!!!!

…

Why couldn’t Etta James sing her own damn song?

I KNOW REALLY DEBBIE

Yeah, not some black lady gloating about her white grandfather, creole whatever GO MICHELLE, RE PRE SENT!!!!!!

@Debbie & Theme

“At Last” is not Etta’s song. Once again, IT’S NOT HER SONG. She covered the song herself. It was written in 1942. She covered it in 1960. Please know your facts before you open your mouth and reveal your ignorance.

He sayin that they from the hood, hood niggas show up like some gangstas watch out. Did one get loose in the chicken coup? Jungle Jane look a mess as usual no cigar ugly mama your face look like your ass but its good you finally out the projects at least. She ugly tonight Ima scared of this mess already.

I cried!

All you thin skinned Beyonce lovers…ease up. this is bossip not the ny times site. folks come here to talk trash and yes she looked good and she did er best but she is still lacking that thing that aretha and patti got. she is gettin better, but shoot even her daddy said theres tons of broads who sing better than her, so why cant we say it. i thought a vet would been hotter too. patti woulda smashed it with if only u knew or or mary with something classic not this new disco shit. or Brian mcknight or take it back…james ingram…word!

and i am really hype that michelle is bringing sistas back, yung berg, polow, the whole nfl and nba been doin a disservice to us hard…sistas stand up!!!

I just want to say…. Amen!

You joy-snatching crabs kill me. It was a beautiful moment. Like a dream. Bey was beautiful and put her heart into that song. The moment was so about Barack and Michelle, but it was also beautiful to see how moved Beyonce was. She understood even if all you crabs don’t.

By the way, have you seen Etta lately. I really don’t think she is up to it.

How beautiful! The little girl with a dream grew up to sing to the first African American President. She will forever be cemented in History, and for that reason alone, she has established her ICON status.

Hey, Bossip, stop sleeping at the wheel. President Obama took the oath a second time when he got wind that there was a rumbling controversy as to whether or not the snaffu with the Chief Justice affects the authenticity of his Head of State title. That’s news worthy, isn’t it?

Even though I love that pic, I’m still tryin’ to find out where Michelle found my grandmommas old curtains from….

http://www.yeahisaiditworld.wordpress.com

when one keeps one’s mouth shut, no-one will
know your ignorance;open it, EVERYONE will…
this,too, is applicable on these sites! no, we don’t know your faces/names, but realize this:
WE KNOW THAT YOU NOW KNOW WE KNOW YOU’RE IGNORANT
AS HELL!!! GOT THAT?!!? God bless our president in
his judgement; God bless him that we as a people can come together for the sake of our country!
can’t you realize that it take ALL of us to make a
change-not just one person? do you realize that we will all fail if we don’t stop this inane self-
destructiveness?!!?
i’m personally taking a stance on divisiveness &
NEVER RETURNING TO ANY OF THESE SITES AGAIN !
hopefully, others will pick up the banner… need something to do? VOLUNTEER !!

the good life

Such a wonderful sight to behold

It makes sooo many angry in so many ways on soooo many levels.
LUVIN’ IT!

It was a priceless and memorable moment…loved it.

Who brought up Bey? Lord.

As for her…thank God for her vibrato, impeccable tailoring & weave. She has sold that vibrato to the world in a handbasket.

I’m glad that 2 educated, hardworking (Black) people have been thrust into the limelight & forefront of America for Change…

Looking forward to a great 4 years and then some.

LOL @ everyone that entertained Hannibal’s hatin’ ass!!

Don’t you know this dumb muhphucka is the thriving off of your energy. I bet money he’s a McCain the Maverick supporter. Talking about we only voted for Barack because he’s half Black. I guess white people only voted for him because he’s half-white. Hannibal you need to take a gun, put it to your temple, pull the trigger and kil yourself!! CHI-TOWN’S IN THE BUILDING…THE WHITE HOUSE TO BE EXACT!!! Stop hatin’ Barack and his family and appreciate the fact that America is ready for change…you probably wanted to suck Clinton’s dick instead of Monica, didn’t you?? I should treat your ass like Jesse Jackson and cut your balls off…IF you got any…bitch!!

To all the damn Bey haters…. This thread was about Barack and Michelle not Bey. They took my breath away, just the sight of them.. And if they wanted Etta to sing At Last they would have got her. We all know that Bey did not sing that song originally.. but who cares!!! Fall back and stop being haters. My girl been in this game and she not going anywhere!!! But back to the thread….. That was beautiful.. Real Black love is what im talking about.. Other than God, they are prefect role models!! I love them!!!

Beautiful…

I have criticized Beyonce’s music before, but this time, I have to give my lady respect. It was not for the song, but the interview. This lady was crying the entire time! She actually showed who she is, and associated herself with the first black president of the United States along with Aretha Franklin, and for that-her status as a diva along with Aretha has been established.

Now, to the balls-
I don’t like being nosy, but I have never seen any evidence of a real sexual/love life between any of the presidents and their respective first ladies-until I saw these two together. Anyone who has ever experience what it feels like to love like that can tell when other people have that chemistry. Barack and Michelle have that, and it is proof that people can love each other through time, and in particular-black people! They are my role models! Joy!

They were dancing to some of everything! I saw Barack do the electric slide and the bump! I wish I was there!

The only time I want to hear her sing that song is when she singing about her last gig

they look great this night was about him,not the celebrities

At Last says it all

Also, that’s going to be my wedding song oone day, if god is willing.

Yea i kinda agreed with some people. I was much as i dig me some B. They should got Ms. Etta James. Being that is her song and that she was the First Black Female Artist to cross over. That would of been something to watch. And who knews maybe thay did ask her. And she decline. But it would of been something to watch. Still it was a beautiful moment and lets not lose sight of that. Stay out of harm ‘s way yall.
