When it comes to signing “Happy Birthday,” no one did a better job of belting out the tune than the late Marilyn Monroe. The rendition of the song she sang to John F. Kennedy not only piqued his interests, but also the interests of everyone watching the broadcast.
With President Barack Obama turning 48-years-old today, August 4, 2009, GIANT makes its selections as to who should serenade the Commander-In-Chief at his birthday party.
Beyonce
Obama’s already a fan of her music, and Mrs. Carter could channel Sasha Fierce for this performance and make her Presidential version the new standard.
Alicia Keys
There’s no doubt that A.Keys could deliver a splendid rendition of the song. Only we think that Michelle Obama would be in arms reach just to prevent Alicia from (possibly) wrecking the most famous home in America.
Scarlett Johansson
Say what you want about her acting skills, but we’d definitely DVR a sultry, pouty Scar-Jo purring “Happy Birthday” to El Presidente.
Lauryn Hill
Lauryn’s long overdue for a comeback and what better way to positively re-enter the public’s eye then by bringing her acoustic guitar to play for the President?
Michelle Obama
She could easily segue from “Happy Birthday” into “Birthday Sex.”
