If you missed the inauguration, these two performances perfectly captured the overwhelming emotion of this momentous occasion.
Aretha Franklin's gospel rendition of "My Country Tis of Thee" left me speechless. Utterly breath-taking. The chord arrangements at 1:42 would make anyone shed a tear (except maybe Dick Cheney) And maybe its just me, but it sounds like she tells someone to shut up at 2:16 haha
Beyonce's cover of Etta James' "At Last" while the Obama's had their first dance at the Neighborhood Ball was also quite moving, and it definately raised Barack to ultimate G status. Beyonce seemed like she was doing all she could just to keep from crying during the song..
