Trump's 2017 vs Obama's 2009: A brutal inaugural concert comparison

In the weeks leading up to it, Donald Trump promised America he'd assemble an impressive schedule of performances at the concert to celebrate his presidential inauguration.

He really did try.

However, once the party got started on Thursday afternoon, it became immediately clear—if it wasn't so already—that Trump's pre-presidential concert would pale in comparison to Obama's 2009 bash.

While we found ourselves gazing at the television screen in boredom, longing for the vocal stylings of Stevie Wonder, Usher and Beyoncé, we decided to compare major acts from the two inaugural concerts in one very...interesting...video.

Trump: Started his concert off with a bang by having the great DJ RaviDrums pound out a sick beat.

Obama: Opened by bringing out Bruce Springsteen.

Trump: Filled out the middle of his concert with soul singer Sam Moore, The United States Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corp, and The Frontmen of Country with Lee Greenwood.

Obama: Jammed to Mary J. Blige, Jon Bon Jovi, James Taylor and John Legend, Josh Groban, and Sheryl Crow.

Trump: Filled the lulls of his concert with award-winning actor and Angelina Jolie's father Jon Voight, Rolling Stones songs he was asked not to play at his rallies, and more DJ RaviDrums.

Obama: Let some Oscar-winners (like Denzel Washington and Jamie Foxx) along with Steve Carell and Samuel L. Jackson run the show.

Trump: Had 3 Doors Down as his big draw, singing radio hits from the early aughts. Also, The Piano Guys (four dads who became YouTube-famous) screaming "it's gonna be okay" at us approximately 1460 times. One for each day of the next four years Trump is president. Which was as comforting as it sounds.

Obama: Had Will.I.Am, Usher, Stevie Wonder and U2 show up.

Trump: Finished big, with Toby Keith. And fireworks.

Obama: Beyoncé. Yes—Beyoncé.
