Michelle might be well on her way to joining her husband with the distinction of a Grammy Award for the Best Spoken Word Album. It comes as her standing for president in the upcoming 2020 US elections looks less likely with every day, though fans of the ex-FLOTUS will be made up that she might enter a separate hall of fame.

Michelle was nominated for the Grammy award late last month for the audiobook version of Becoming her 2018 memoir about life as a black woman in America and The White House.

Should she win, Michelle will join several other former White House occupants and Grammy winners, all of whom have triumphed in the spoken-word category.

Barack won a Grammy for his audiobook recording of Dreams From My Father in 2006, and another in 2008 for his The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream.

On hearing that she had been nominated, Michelle tweeted: So thrilled to receive a GRAMMYs nomination!

A third added: Congratulations Mrs. Obama and well-deserved!

Your book and audio are wonderful and certainly a winner!

Best wishes and good luck on the GRAMMY Awards.

Thanks for you and your beautiful familys service to the US!

There are several other nominees in the Best Spoken Word Album section.

Others include Michael Diamond, Adam Horovitz, Scott Sherratt and Dan Zitt, Eric Alexandrakis, John Waters and Sekou Andrews and The String Theory.

Former President Bill Clinton grabbed his first Grammy in 2004 in the spoken word category album for children, for his narration of the book Wolf Tracks and Peter and the Wolf.

Then, in 2005, he won the spoken world album category for his memoir My World and Back to Work: Why We Need Smart Government for a Strong Economy, respectively.
