Alicia Keys yells “Obama’s on Fire” live at the Commander-In-Chief Ball.

At this point we all know that Alicia Keys doesn’t really sing; she simply yells and hopes that the notes happen to land in the right key. In fact, that’s exactly what she did when she performed at the Commander-In-Chief Ball this evening and luckily, it generally worked in her favour.

Remixing her hit song “Girl on Fire” into “Obama’s on Fire”, Keys celebrated the inauguration of US President Barack Obama at the Walter Washington Convention Center. She donned all red for the historic event, threw her head back as she tackled the “big” notes and hoped for the best.

Since my television was politely set to mute halfway through Keys’ showing at the Commander-In-Chief Ball, watch it below and let us all know if she made a passing grade:
