The Neighborhood Inauguration Ball and the MTV special "Be The Change" brought out performances by
Maroon 5,
Kanye West,
Mary J Blige,
Mariah Carey,
Stevie Wonder,
and many more. According to
various reports including
this one, all celeb performers were stun.
Kanye West and his new longer hairstyle/Afro/Mullet?? performed a medley of his hits including "Love Lockdown."
Adam Levine held it down vocally for his group
Maroon 5. (Wasn't
Songs About Jane their best album?)
Alicia Keys jumped off her piano to perform "No One" with soul. She told
MTV she was glad to be apart of history.
Mary J Blige got the crowd moving with her uplifting song, "Just Fine." ("No time for moping around...")
Nick Cannon introduced his wife Mariah Carey who performed her #1 hit "Hero" in a curve hugging (what else?) Dolce & Gabbana dress.
Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours" medley was assisted by Adam Levine, Jamie Foxx, Faith Hill, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Shakira, Sting, Mary J Blige, and Will.i.am. You can catch the President and First Lady dancing along. (Too cute!) LOL at Jamie Foxx: "You can tell he's a Black President by the way he was moving."
