Mariah Carey sings

Mariah Carey and Shakira also performed at the same Inaugural Ball, the coveted Neighbourhood Ball held in Washington DC and followed in Beyonce’s footsteps ( see previous post) in performing live on this historical occasion.

The Mariah Carey performance and the song “Hero”  in particular is relevant to the night and we chose in preference to the Shakira performance and it is rumoured that President Obama played this song “Hero” to motivate himself throughout his campaign. The rest as they say is history.

Mariah according to a news source was feeling a bit of pre performance terror and had to be calmed down. Before she sang Mariah made a little speech:

“I wrote this song to inspire people that anything is possible. Tonight I think we all believe that a whole lot more,” Mariah said.

“This is for everyone out there with a dream, and of course, I have to dedicate it to our new president,” she added.
