Obama Inauguration Playlist: Beyonce, Wonder, Fun.



President Barack Obama is preparing for all the musicians set to perform at his inauguration festivities by releasing an official playlist.

He released the 16-track playlist, which also includes music by some of his favorite artists, through the digital music service Spotify on Thursday. The list includes jams by Stevie Wonder, Beyonce, Usher and fun. They will all perform at different inaugural events, which start Saturday in Washington, D.C.

Obama's list also includes John Legend's "Ordinary People," ''Firework" by Katy Perry, James Taylor's "Your Smiling Face" and the "Glee" cast version of Lady Gaga's "The Edge of Glory."

Other artists include Marc Anthony, Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley, Far East Movement, Kelly Clarkson, Nick Cannon and Mindless Behavior.

Inauguration Day is Monday.

I swear to god Stevie Wonder performs at EVERYTHING. Is he really cheap or something now? Or does he just always want to perform? Idgi but I feel like I have seen him perform at stuff like 50 times in the past few years.
wheresandrae 17th-Jan-2013 08:57 pm (UTC)
well what else is he gonna do?
cityxpretty 17th-Jan-2013 08:58 pm (UTC)
IDK, he's super famous and not currently doing much.
deathbytamarind 17th-Jan-2013 10:33 pm (UTC)
If I had money I'd pay Stevie Wonder to play in my living room 24/7. I'd jam out all day and all night.
wheresandrae 17th-Jan-2013 08:56 pm (UTC)

soapboxstandoff 17th-Jan-2013 08:57 pm (UTC)
God your president is so cool. I can't even image what Stephen Harper would have on his shitty playlist.
robodromo 17th-Jan-2013 08:57 pm (UTC)
surprised with Brad Paisley being on there!
imnotasquirrel 17th-Jan-2013 08:58 pm (UTC)
my friend just emailed me to let me know that she might have an extra ticket to the inaugural ball and did i want to go. (she already got me a ticket to the ceremony.) i don't have an appropriate dress, and i hate wearing dresses to begin with, but i think the inaugural ball is worth shelling out money for a gown, y/n?
d00ditsemily 17th-Jan-2013 09:01 pm (UTC)
yes.

and i thought you were a man tbqh.

have fun!
imnotasquirrel 17th-Jan-2013 09:03 pm (UTC)

soapboxstandoff 17th-Jan-2013 09:01 pm (UTC)

cityxpretty 17th-Jan-2013 09:03 pm (UTC)
YES!
saltireflower 17th-Jan-2013 09:07 pm (UTC)
Do it!
txgirl02 17th-Jan-2013 09:58 pm (UTC)
You could borrow one. I went all out when I went, thinking I'd be surrounded by women in fabulous gowns, yet to see people wandering around in all sorts of get-ups.

I looked fantastic and regret nothing, but if you're worried about looking underdressed, you probably won't be (sad to say.)

What you will be--Cold, hungry, waiting in line forever for a drink.

Enjoy! It's one of those experiences everyone should have, but it's not really the sort of thing you need to do more than once.
howlcosmiclove 17th-Jan-2013 10:27 pm (UTC)
yes!
deathbytamarind 17th-Jan-2013 10:34 pm (UTC)
guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurl

do it
imnotasquirrel 17th-Jan-2013 09:00 pm (UTC)
also, a coworker of mine wasn't even aware that there was going to be an inauguration. she doesn't think there's a point bc obama had an inauguration ceremony 4 years ago. i just said, "yeah, but this time we can celebrate triumphing over mitt romney!"
schexyschteve 17th-Jan-2013 09:16 pm (UTC)
Ngl, I didn't know they re-inaugurated the sitting president. I was 15 when Bush was re-elected, so it's not like I paid attention.
saltireflower 17th-Jan-2013 09:06 pm (UTC)
Happy birthday Michelle <3
iodine_sky 17th-Jan-2013 09:07 pm (UTC)
