Justin Bieber Joins President Obama For 'Christmas In Washington'

Justin Bieber braved a cold in order to perform for President Obama and his family at the 30th annual ‘Christmas in Washington’ special on Sunday, Dec. 11. The special, which benefits the Children’s National Medical Center, will air this Friday, Dec. 16 on TNT.


The Biebs tweeted about his condition upon waking up Sunday morning, writing: “Waking up with a bad cold … weather change. but will be ready tonight for CHRISTMAS in WASHINGTON. #resting.” The Biebs felt well enough to perform by set time, so it was indeed a Christmas miracle.


According to MTV, Jennifer Hudson, the Band Perry, Victoria Justice and Cee Lo Green also performed for the leader of the free world. The Biebs performed for this particular show two years ago, and upon his return, he served up his new holiday hit ‘Mistletoe.’ He looked quite dapper in his white jacket with black piping and black tie.


Waking up with a bad cold ... weather change. but will be ready tonight for CHRISTMAS in WASHINGTON. #resting," he tweeted in the hours leading up to the show, later adding, "Feeling good. Just had some fun at rehearsals and now we r ready. Time to sing for the President. #canadianrepresenter. Seeing the fans ... being here again 2 years later. Feeling very #blessed and #grateful. Thank U! Great night! President Obama is one cool Prez. He told me he was 'chillin.' #PresidentialSWAG."


During the event, a number of Christmas classics like "This Christmas," "Silent Night," "Let It Snow" and "I'll Be Home for Christmas" were performed. The night ended with all of the performers, as well as the Obamas and host Conan O'Brien, taking the stage for "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing."


While the night was all about the holidays, O'Brien did manage to poke a little fun at Bieber during the show. "It's especially exciting to be here during this joyous season, when we celebrate the arrival of a miracle child, worshiped by millions around the world," he said. "Of course I'm talking about Justin Bieber.
