Aerosmith's Steven Tyler is a singer, although some might dispute that label, given his performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Sunday's Patriots-Ravens game. In the last few days, we've heard from a few famous folks who do not have "singer" on their resume, yet they thought enough of themselves to give it a go. Today's Gotta Watch: So you think you can sing?
Amateur night at the Apollo - The White House liked President Obama's recent musical homage to the Rev. Al Green so much, they've made it into a ringtone. [cnn-video url="http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2012/01/20/tsr-bts-obama-sings-at-apollo.cnn"%5D
Buffett the entertainer - At first glance, the curiosity factor is pretty high on this one: Warren Buffett, strumming a ukulele, singing "I've Been Working on the Railroad" on state-run Chinese television. The video of his contribution to a Chinese New Year variety show was posted on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala website.

Herman Cain believes in himself - Former GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain has sung before the National Press Club. He's even delivered an odd ode to pizza, which was an Internet favorite. Friday, the sometime gospel vocalist was at it again, belting out a bit of Diana Ross' "Believe in Yourself" at a South Carolina rally with Stephen Colbert.

And in a few months President Obama will be singing "hit the road jack" to his losing Republican contender in the general election.Hahahahaha! Obama/Biden 2012!
And which Repub contender/pretender will that be, the wife cheater, the lier, or the I'm just like you but only pay 15% taxes. Which one. Let us all know...LOL
Once again, I ask by who/whom? Can you not read, that was a question I asked...LOL
Who cares which contender will lose?
Although I would rather have (again) obama as president because none of the other clowns cut it even for the circus, I am still worried...You see, there are way too many people who are perpetually (and by choice) stupid who would even vote and ...select someone like newt ...the No 1 moral compass in the world. These same people who scream about christian values, family, and honesty are the guys who voted for newt in SC....if this is not the defition of crazy, I don't know what is...
For the author of this column piece to make the statement, "President Obama may not hold office after the upcoming election, but he sure can hold a tune" not only shows his/her's ignorance but instantly makes me want the election to happen much sooner so that we Obama supporters can finally shut these critics UP!
What makes you think that this President won't win this next election against whoever wins the Republican nomination?!? All of them are clowns, in my opinion. Just pick one: Romney? Gingrich? Paul? Santorum? Palin? Christie?
Please spare me...
@The Prince of Common Sense
Agree!
Evangelicals believe that singing is the work of the devil.
Evangelicals f@rt with their mouth closed and do not smile during the gas emission.
Okay! I just wrote a song and its called "lonesome cowboy of Crawford Ranch!" Speaking of the devil!
Oh, you're referring to the last GOP president who reads at 2nd. Grade level and F-Grade student from Yale University? The World at large doesn’t miss him one little bit. A real disgrace and buffoon he was!
When herman Cain sang the song from the first pokemon movie i was like wow, but wished he used the one that they used for the shows.
'I wanna be the very best that no one ever was...'
@ prince So when obama loses to one of these clowns,what will that make him the king of clowns?Also dont be to sure of yourself,I would really hate for you to get depressiom because you might have to go to work!
You guys always make the same assumptions; it gets kinda boring. And theres always that tiny hint of bad grammar.
You know, people who assume that all dems are welfare cases are just bad as the cons who actually are.
Guess when that cowboy president, Reagan lunched his crazy assault in the 70's to root out so-called Welfare Cheats or Queens as GOP propaganda, guess whom they caught?
A Jewish multi-millionaire, Jew who owns two Park Ave. Hotels in NYC and a single Latino woman in NJ. The GOP Welfare propaganda against Blacks in America is a pure delusional myth ............ period! All they're doing is to steer up their usual pork race-hate pot. These are the Stats of American's Welfare by Race and skin color for all who wishes to know the truth. US Welfare Stats:-
Whites: 34%
Blacks: 22%
Hispanics: 17%
Please, Keep your day jobs...Please.
When it comes to buffoonery, GW Bush doesn't even come close to Sarah Palin. She's the original 'flatulent oaf '.
When does Obama's album come out again? I really enjoyed the music that he made with his voice... I am sure that he can make more music with his voice, and it might even be better if he had other people joining him, who are also making music with their voices, and possibly even making music with other instruments such as drums, guitars, and bass guitar. Maybe even someone making music with their lips like on the trombone or saxophone. Hopefully the album will come out soon. So it can be purchased on the interwebs.
During the first Republican Presidential debate, Mitt Romney said aggressively that President Obama's stimulus bill hasn't created one single American job. Well Mitt, you're right! The stimulus bill has created not "one" but rather quarter of a million American jobs in our Auto industry alone. Hahahahaha! Then he said if he was President, he would have taken a different approach in going after OBL. Duhhhh! And perhaps OBL would still be alive today and threatening to destroy America.
Then News Gingrich said Obama is more likeable than he is but he went on to say the Presidency isn't about likeability but about the ability to do the job. Newt you lie! If our President is liked then its becase he's the best person for the job. Then Newt labeled President Obama "the foodstamp President." But you know, New is actually right on this one because if you were to google "The Stimulus Plan: How to Spend $787 Billion – The New York Times" you would discover that the stimulus bill called for billions of dollars in extended unemployment benefits to helped unemployed and struggling Americans stay afloat of the economic crisis the GOP created. God bless you President Obama!
O' and then there's Rick Santurum who criticized this administrations sanctions on Iran, stating that if he was President he would have bombed Iran's nuclear facility. But doesn't Rick know he wouldn't have gotten UN approval to do so until all alternatives to a peaceful resolution are exhausted?
Obama/Biden 2012!
A Prelude to the 2012 Election!!! Come on now, why waste time with those fools.Don't you know that RICK SANTURUM and G.W. BUSH DOESN'T NEED UN APPROVAL TO STAR A WAR... REMEMBER D. STORM. ITS IN THEIR REP BLOOD TO KILL ..BY THE WAY TEA PARTY + REP = WHITE SHEETS
Agree totally with Prince of Common sense.
Tired of silly rhetoric from known liars.
And Obama can *sing*!
Agree, Prelude.
You think that was great wait till you hear Obama belt out "I'm still in love with you", problem is that it is only reserved for goldman sachs, bp, william ayers, and rev wright, not the American people.
doug... I hear you're finally getting some of that new-fangled indoor plumbing in your trailer.
As for Goldman sachs and BP, If you do not like those companies, don't buy anything from them. I am sure that there are American alternatives that would love your business. As for William Ayers and Rev. Wright, they are American people. It takes all kinds of people to make America what it is.
Goldman-Sachs, you mean the guys that have given more money to Mitt Romney than anyone else? Hmmm, you think they love Obama and they are trying to hide that love by giving money to Romney. Yeah, that must be it.
@dough you making white folks to looks more like chronic habitual liars by birth.
Your race seem to make up constant liars, so much so it make one wonder if Satan Lucifer's blood runs in your race. The Lord God NEVER lies, Jesus NEVER lies, only the Devil Lucifer lies to his flock.
Spill it! Are you by chance the son of Satan Lucifer dwelling amongst us and making up all these lies on behalf of your evil idol Satan Lucifer?
@palintwit-lol. always glad to see your humor.
@Doug-what-huh-none of your blog makes sense. Sachs went belly up over the deregulaton of banks by Gingrich and Bush. BP was an accident which President Obama fined and they are still cleaning up and running ads to bring back tourist. And they are in court finding who is at fault still, Your darling Cheneys haliburton, or BP. So your point is?
C'mon....Obama did good. You may hate democrats, black people, or just the president, but does that mean you have hate on everything he does? Him holding a note has nothing to do with disagreeing with his policies. What's next? The way he walks or talks, or simply smiles. I hope that you are not one of those people who shed a tear every time any mention of our president comes to light. If you are, that is why we have security.
