The 2013 Inaugal Ceremony to officially re-establish Obama’s position into office has been revealed in its entirety. In tradition, the list is filled with A-list artists, all who have shown their support for the Democratic campaign this past November. Performers include:
Marc Anthony
Beyonce’
Nick Cannon
Kelly Clarkson
Far East Movement
fun.
The Cast of “Glee”
Alicia Keys
John Legend
Mindless Behavior
Brad Paisley
Katy Perry
Smokey Robinson
James Taylor
Usher
Soul Children of Chicago
Stevie Wonder
While I’m excited that so many great artists are supporting Obama through their own artistic craft, there are a few on the list above that are somewhat questionable. In terms of relevance, I’m seriously wondering who invited Nick Cannon – someone who hasn’t had a hit song in…forever. In terms of #pityinvites, Mindless Behavior were only invited to appease the First Children, as with Alicia Keys for the First Lady. Stevie Wonder is a staple at every major musical show – with just reasons. Clearly, Katy and Beyonce’ are the stand-out artists at this year’s ceremony, and there’s no denying that the two will deliver greatly heralded performances for years to come.
