President-elect Donald Trump has been having trouble finding acts to perform at his Inauguration on January 20.
The Inauguration Committee has released some information about events on January 19, the day before the Inauguration. There are two public events scheduled.
The “Make America Great Again!” celebration will possibly include star Toby Keith, “God Bless the U.S.A.” singer Lee Greenwood, actor Jon Voight, singer and Broadway performer Jennifer Holliday, rockers 3 Doors Down, a fireworks celebration and an appearance by and remarks from President-elect Donald Trump.
“America’s Got Talent” contestant Jackie Evancho has signed on to perform on Inauguration Day.
The announcement came from 3 Doors Down’s Instagram.
These plans are not settled yet, but I don’t think Trump is going to get the same acts as President Barack Obama did.
One singer, Charlotte Church, who was invited to perform declined in a unique way. She tweeted:
@realDonaldTrump Your staff have asked me to sing at your inauguration, a simple Internet search would show I think you're a tyrant. Bye????
— Charlotte Church (@charlottechurch) January 10, 2017
Not only did she say no, but she did it with a pile of poop emojis.
The Beach Boys were invited, but they have not announced their decision yet.
The Rockettes are being forced to perform even though some of them are uncomfortable being near Trump. Alec Baldwin offered to sing “Highway to Hell” for Trump. He doesn’t seem to realize that we hate him.
