| (EZ-Tracks) - The music stars shone brightly at last night’s Democratic Convention finale, in which Barak Obama officially accepted his party’s nomination for president, according to an Associated Press report.
During the event, the Black Eyed Peas’ will.i.am performed his speech-song "Yes We Can" with John Legend during the lead-up to Obama's speech. Susan Sarandon and Anne Hathaway sang along in the stands as Sheryl Crow performed "Change is Gonna Come," and crooner Michael McDonald prompted a burst of flag waving with his take on "America the Beautiful." Other celebrities in attendance included George Lucas with girlfriend Mellody Hardon and his daughter, Forest Whitaker with wife Keisha and Star Jones, and Daniel Dae Kim of "Lost," who posed for pictures with the Hawaii delegation. “What I hope happens is the country doesn't forget the jubilation and excitement that's been generated here," Kim said. "And I hope it turns into something that changes the world." | ||||||||||||
