Beyonce will provide the vocal styling for Barack and Michelle Obama's first dance on inauguration night, but will she perform one of her chart topping hits?

 

According to the Associated Press the Presidential Inaugural Committee hopes to keep the song selection a mystery.

Linda Douglas, a spokeswoman for the Committee tells AP: "It is our hope that we can keep the song secret until the moment."

Beyonce has expressed her desire to be a part of the inauguration since Obama was elected and she told a reporter in November: "Whatever they want -- if they need me to volunteer, they need me to sing, I’m there, and I’m ready."

The singer and actress will also perform at the Neighborhood Ball on ABC along with Jay-Z, will.i.am, Mariah Carey,Alicia Keys, Shakira, Sting, Faith Hill, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder and Maroon 5. Jessica Alba, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Kate Walsh will be presenters at the ball.

  • Hope she shows some respect & doesn't do her usual low-paid stripper dancing.
