Who could upstage Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers? At Monday night's Kids Inaugural concert, that would be Michelle Obama.
Entering Washington, D.C.'s Verizon Center on the eve of her husband's inauguration, the soon-to-be first lady – accompanying daughters Sasha and Malia – was greeted by a crowd of 14,000 going wild and screaming: "We love you Michelle!"
Before calling upon the nation's youth to serve their country, Mrs. Obama pumped up her audience, many of whom were military families invited to attend the concert for free.
"Barack and I are so thankful for the military sacrifice that helps make our nation safe," she told them. "We join you all today and every day in praying for your loved ones and their safety."
As a beaming Sasha and Malia took photos of their mom on stage, Mrs. Obama said, "You kids are the future of this great nation. And at this extraordinary moment in our nation's history, we wanted you to be able to join in on this celebration and share this incredible journey with us."
