President Barack Obama revealed his singing skills for the first time during a fundraiser at the Apollo Theater in New York last month. Belting out a verse of Al Green’s ‘Let’s Stay Together’, Obama drew raves from those in attendance and from millions who saw it later via YouTube. Apparently, Nigel Lythgoe was similarly impressed.
“@BarackObama we loved your vocal performance so much we’d love to invite you on to #AmericanIdol this Season for a duet with Al Green,” Lythgoe posted on Twitter.
Michelle Obama revealed that Obama really can sing. In fact, the president often sings to her and, although she is impressed, this is not shared by their daughters who are embarrassed by their dad’s singing. Typical kids’ reaction. This, Michelle revealed when she appeared on the ‘Tonight Show with Jay Leno’ recently.
No word yet if the president will accept the invitation. Normally, this will be declined. But since this is a campaign year, Obama might accept the invitation especially since American Idol, by virtue of being the number 1 TV show of the season, reaches millions of voters viewers.
