Ugly Betty’s Vanessa Williams is going to be a part of A Capitol Fourth, the annual 4th of July Concert/Fireworks show in Washington, DC celebrating US Independence Day. She will be singing, and will no doubt include a couple of songs from her new album!
According to EOnline, Williams will be performing along with Natasha Bedingfield and the legendary Barry Manilow, along with several characters from Sesame Street.
Jimmy Smits will be hosting. Awesome!
The same EOnline report mentions the lineup at the DC Memorial Day Concert. At that shindig, Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna will be hosting, and Katie Holmes will also be taking part!
The fireworks at the DC Independence Day celebration are some of the best you’ll ever see. I really wish I could be in Washington that day, to see diva Vanessa Williams and take in the fireworks.
Apparently, Vanessa did this same gig in 2006. Here’s video (although it’s a little rough) of her singing a duet with Elmo at that year’s Capitol Fourth celebration:
I usually avoid the Mall area on July 4th because of the crowds (and the hideous July heat), but I might have to make an exception this year and walk down there, at least for Vanessa’s portion of the event.
