So, will she belt out "Crazy in Love," maybe "Ring the Alarm," or will she simply ask Barack Obama to "Put a Ring on It"? Actually, none of the above, according to Entertainment Tonight, she'll sing "At Last" by Etta James:
I am so honored that I will be performing for President Obama and the First Lady," Beyonce said. "To sing 'At Last' while they have their first dance is a dream come true. I could not be more honored and excited that they have asked me to be part of this moment in history." But, Beyonce won't be the only one participating in the much talked about inaugural festivities. Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Shakira, Sting and a number of other acts will join the singer for the official Neighborhood Ball.
The concert is for Washington D.C. residents and will be broadcast live and streamed online Tuesday night.
