UNITED NATIONS, AUGUST 21, 2012
(INQUIRER) A music video by pop singer Beyoncé helped inspire one
billion messages for World Humanitarian Day on Sunday, which the United Nations
said was a social media record.

The singer recorded the music video, "I Was Here," for the UN campaign to
generate one billion messages encouraging people to do a good deed.

"The World Humanitarian Day 2012 campaign has made social media history by
sharing more than one billion messages of hope," the UN said in a statement.


The UN launched its campaign on August 2 to collect the messages, which were
distributed on Sunday in honor of humanitarian workers.

The campaign numbers around the world soared after the release of Beyoncé's
video on Saturday and the message spread rapidly among her fans.

Valerie Amos, UN undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs, praised the
"amazing work" of the singer in taking the UN's cause further.

Dressed in a white, floor-length gown, Beyoncé sang the song for the video at
the UN General Assembly. The video shows her singing at the UN headquarters and
scenes from recent disasters.

"This is our time to leave our mark on the world and show that we were here
and we care," Beyoncé said in a statement.

President Obama Admits Beyonce Has A Way With His Heart!

Posted August 18, 2012 by Evanka Williamson for Global Grind Staff
Beyonce has won over the heart of many and it looks like a major name
on that list is our very own President Obama!
In an interview with KOB-FM the president revealed that when he works out,
Queen Bey is his girl saying: "I will say right now that if I'm really trying to
get my heart rate up, Crazy In Love Is a pretty good song to work out to"
And when asked what's a super power he would love to have, Obama replied:

"This sounds, it's kind of a weird super power, but if I had something that I
could immediately wish for, I would love to be able to speak any language"
Communication is key!
He goes on to say:
"It might not come in handy to rescue folks from a burning building, but I've
always wished that whatever country I've went to... I could right away speak
their language"
A true man of the people! What a fun interview!
