Did you see Beyonce sing "At Last" for the Obama couple's first dance at the Neighborhood Ball on Inauguration night?
OMG, do yourself and favor and watch it (again!) to hear Beyonce's breathtaking interpretation of this classic song. I'm not a fan of Beyonce's type of music, but girlfriend can sing! And her technique gets better and better as she matures.
Her performance for the President and Mrs. Obama was so sincere and heartfelt. It's as if she were singing from the conscience of the nation, with an emotional mix of pride, joy, hope, love, anticipation, and exhiliration. She was obviously thrilled to be singing for the new President -- her eyes, on the verge of tears, shone like never before.
Beyonce's voice knocked me out, not only for its clarity and accuracy of pitch, but for her dynamic and tonal range. Her last phrase displayed an impressive span from high to low, reminding me more than a little of the legendary Ella Fitzgerald. With the right material, Miss Knowles could find herself joining the pantheon of the all-time great singers.
