IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton fielded an unexpected question from a voter at a town hall on Wednesday, asking if she would rather be Grammy award-winning artist Beyoncé Knowles or president.
Now, if I really had a choice, Id rather be president because I cant sing, Clinton said. Nobody would pay to see me sing or dance. Even when I was a way lot younger, it wasnt in the cards for me.
The former secretary of state went on to praise the singer-songwriter and actress, asking the crowd if theyd ever seen her perform live.
You see her on TV, its impressive. You see her in person, youre just stunned, Clinton continued. Thinking like, how does she do that? Really. I mean, she sings, shes up, shes down. Its just so amazing.
Her comments were met with laughter from voters here, many of them University of Iowa students taking a break from studying for finals in order to attend her town hall.

I mean, I don't know you or anything, but no one wants an epic meltdown in here. It's messy. Attracts mosquitoes.
