In Soul Swagger News: President Barack Obama Invited to American Idol

This is long overdue but we’ve always thought President Barack Obama has a true soul in him and finally it leaked for the good of the people.  Although he once joined famous singers like Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson et cetera in singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” at the Civil Rights Concert back in 2010, this one particular time is when he really let his soulful voice shine.

Recently the president spoke in front of his supporters at Harlem’s Apollo Theater and spilled a bit of Al Green’s legendary hit “Let’s Stay Together” and the crowd went wild.  Check the video below:

Apparently this caught the attention of American Idol’s head honcho, Nigel Lythgoe who immediately took on Twitter and invited the president to perform the song in a duet with the original singer on the reality talent search show.

There’s no response from Obama’s Twitter account yet, but it sounds like a good idea both for the president in this election season and also American Idol which has not been great in recent television ratings.

Do you want to see the president singing a duet with Al Green?
