Kelly Clarkson's support of Ron Paul during the election period didn't stop her and her angelic voice from being brought to the Inauguration of Barack Obama today

She sang a heartfelt, soulful version of "My Country Tis of Thee," proving that she can rise to any occasion. Afterwards, she shook Pres. Obama's hand, did a little goofy dance and left the stage. New York Sen. Chuck Schumer hit the podium and simply said, "Wow!"

On a much smaller scale, season 8 "American Idol" winner Kris Allen performed two shows last night at Decatur's Eddie's Attic. I chose to just relax at home last night and didn't attend the show. Fortunately, someone did send out a YouTube video of his performance of the Lumineers' "Ho Hey."
