Beyonce Knowles, who is scheduled to perform at the Inaugural Ball on Tuesday night, has revealed to Entertainment Tonight what she'll be singing for Barack and Michelle Obama's first dance. "To sing 'At Last' while they have their first dance is a dream come true," Beyonce said. "I could not be more honored and excited that they have asked me to be part of this moment in history." The pop star should have plenty of practice with the song, having portrayed "At Last" singer Etta James in the film Cadillac Records.

Beyonce won't be the only performer hitting the stage on Inauguration Day. Bruce Springsteen, will.i.am, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Shakira, Sting, Faith Hill, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder and more are all scheduled to take part.
