Rap-Up.com || Beyoncé to Release Charity Single ‘God Bless the U.S.A.’

Beyoncé is proudly wearing her stars and stripes. With renewed patriotism sweeping across the country following the demise of Osama bin Laden, the singing sensation has recorded a studio version of “God Bless the U.S.A.”

The song will air on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight,” with proceeds benefitting 9/11 charities. “#Beyonce is releasing a new song, a cover of ‘God Bless the USA’, and it will get 1st TV airing on @PiersTonight CNN 9pm ET,” wrote Morgan. “All proceeds from #Beyonce song will go to New York Police and Fire Widows’ and Children’s Benefit Fund.”

Bey first performed the Lee Greenwood cover in 2008 for Barack Obama’s campaign and it arrives the same day as the President’s visit to Ground Zero to honor those lost on 9/11. “#Beyonce first recorded ‘God Bless The USA’ in 2008 for Pres Obama campaign but never released it,” added the British host, while showering praise on her rendition. “I just listened to the #Beyonce song – and it’s stunning.”

The patriotic single will become available on iTunes shortly after. “Fans should be able to buy #Beyonce song as soon as Friday on iTunes and from her website beyonce.com.”

Funny thing is, the First Lady openly said that she was never proud to be an American until her husband won the election…

Sorry Bey Iam the new Queen.I thinks it’s time for you to settle down and have some kids.You had your reign but it’s over now.Your new album is going to flop.Loud debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 207,000 copies in the United States.It is the highest first-week sales in the US.It also entered at number one on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.As of March 4, 2011, the album was certified four-times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry.

I was actually watching the show last night not knowing about it and it caught me off guard when he said the song was going to premiere at the end of the show. It’s a good tune and Beyonce sounds awesome on it. I really don’t care what singer covers this song, the lyrics are what matters most.

LMFAO! LMMFAO! Okay. Jay-Z manages Rihanna,
right?
Jay-Z is married to Beyonce, right?
If B and J are married their funds are probably shared, right?
So Rihanna and Beyonce are gettin money and you are just…right. Please, for the love of God…get a life.
