Singer Andrea Bocelli faces growing backlash re: appearing at Trump inauguration
Slipped Disc ^ | December 18, 2016

Fans of the Italian crooner are expressing displeasure at his reported decision to sing at President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Tabloid rumours are spreading of a Boycott Bocelli movement.

The American soprano Aprile Millo has posted:

He has no idea what he is endorsing. Remember he’s from a country that put up with Berlusconi. One freak show to another. I don’t buy his music I appreciate that he’s a nice man but I will absolutely boycott any Bocelli. How about an American tenor? Outsourcing already because there seems to be no American that wants to sing for him. #BoycottBocelli.

Hundreds more are sharing the hashtag #BoycottBocelli.

Bocelli has yet to provide personal confirmation that that he will appear at the White House, though his team have leaked that it’s a done deal.

Here’s Mr. Bocelli performing for the people of Leicester, England back in May after their team won the English Premier League soccer championship. He had promised the Italian coach of that team he would perform in front of the home crowd if they had won. Leicester is a city of mostly white working class Englishmen. Another reason for the Democrats to hate Bocelli.

Time for some new American talent. I’m sure they are a lot of talented people who would like an opportunity to perform for the country. Let’s have a talent search and replace the leftists from Hollyweird.

The commie left believes in “choice” when it comes to killing babies but they don’t believe in “choice” for others.
Absolutely disgusting pieces of trash.

I saw him two weeks ago in Anaheim at the Honda Center.

Liberals will lose their shit if he sings at the inauguration.

It is ashame the left has so much swing with performers and often have a way of blackmailing them into getting in line.

The problem with announcing performers ahead of time: this happens.

You hold back the announcements and drivebys report: Trump can’t find a single person to perform! Transition team in chaos!

The fat lady wanted to sing but it’s far from over!

It is very near over for Hillary2016 and the proverbial song will be sung tomorrow when the Electoral College completes its assigned duties on the first Monday after the second Wednesday of December. Now all of these overblown inflated egotists of the arts and croissant crowd will just have to find those venues where their screeches are accepted. Andrea yes, I have several of his works already, Ms Aprile Millo - NO and NEVER!

Who ever runs this "vilify all who support Trump" is probably a nasty little group that has access to all famous persons e-mail addresses, supported by Hillary campaign money 24/7......this hashtag #BoycottBocelli....is from a mean and bitter person.

Support Bocelli and youknowwhat Slipped Disk!

Wow. they’re bringing some class to the inauguration, but for some that’s not enough? OK, lets see if he does a duet with Kayne West. I don’t buy Streisand albums not because she’s a democrat, its just that she isn’t a Patsy Cline or Jackie Evancho. Liberals, whine, whine, whine.

Despite with the RINO leadership in Congress thinks, there is no negotiating, there is no "understanding", there is no "coming together" with the American Left.

Simply put, the Left must be stopped and their ideology must be destroyed if we are to retain our liberty, our traditional American values and our Constitutional Republic.
