Bing: Watch Beyoncé perform 'At Last'
The star performed a rendition of Etta James' "At Last" at the Neighborhood
Inaugural Ball when the president took office in 2009, and she has
been chosen to sing for President Obama and first lady Michelle again to mark
the beginning of his second term in the White House.
The singer will perform "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the ceremony, which
will take place in Washington, D.C. Kelly Clarkson will also sing at the event,
performing the traditional "My Country 'Tis of Thee," which Aretha Franklin
tackled for the president four years ago, and singer/songwriter James Taylor
will play "America the Beautiful."
