[Edited due to major flaw]JAN 19: The Huffington Post Preinauguration Ball (Fangirling to come)This is
Shakira performing with
Usher and
Stevie Wonder:
http://www.shakiramedia.com/video/detail/1494Song's called Higher ground and I love how everyone's all dressed and stuffed up cuz it was fureezin'. Must say Shakira held her own with Usher and Stevie Wonder. If you asked me, I'd say the she did good since it IS Stevie Wonder she's performing with, she sang it the right way and made a great supporting voice. Who would've known she could do such a song (Motown?) and look gorgeous at the same time. Didja see the Obamas dancing?! Ho yeah!
JAN 20: Neighbourhood Inaugural Ball (Apparently with every inaugration, there will be um, near 10 balls and galas...)You can catch We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial on HBO, Starhub Ch 60 at 7pm tomorrow and encore telecast on Wednesday at 1am
(perfect for insomniacs) or Starhub Ch 66 tmr at 10pm. Its the opening celebration for the 44th
(hmm, so number of inagurations doesn't mean number of presidents) President.
Of course it took place on Sunday evening in the U.S (Monday morning Singapore)
Mmmmm it will be a star-studded event, only the creme de la creme of music, famous persons
(eg. Martin Luther King III) and some interesting actors
(Jack Black, Denzel Washington....) Of course, all of em' have expressed their support for the Obama presidency. Yeah and the actors are giving speeches. Hope you weren't expecting them to sing. Ecletic mix of musicians and it's gonna be a lot of respectable fun!
See? Antonio De La Rua (Shakira's fiance), Obama, Shakira (pretty hair!)
Is it me or is Obama starting to resemble the guy on my toothpaste? Somebody give the man a top hat and he'll promote flouride and dental hygiene.
Here comes the good news:
If you don't subscribe to HBO, there will be a free preview for all Starhub TV customers using Hubstation, Hubstation HD, digital or HD set-top box tomorrow on HBO (Starhub Ch 60) from 7pm to 9pm.

Ah yes, for the good of the public. Watch it if you're bored or just wanna kick back to a glamorous, for-the-good-of-the-world treat. It's not everyday you get to see top-quality performances by stars who don't wanna mess up in front of the President, so they would probably make it top-notch.
