Bocelli Bails

[HAB911]

Fans of the famed opera singer warned, “You will lose millions of fans.” Some floated the idea of a “Boycott Bocelli” movement too. After receiving nearly all negative feedback from the possibility of performing at the inauguration a source close to the singer relayed, “Bocelli said there was no way he’d take the gig . . . he was ‘getting too much heat’ and he said no.”

Now, how do we stop the little girl?

1. Thru the parents.

Shame them for putting their daughter at risk so near a sexual predator.

15. Andrea Bocelli is 58 years old, and male...

You might be thinking of Jackie Evancho, the 16 year old female singer.

I highly doubt that Andrea's parents are making too many decisions for him.

16. Avebury was referring to the last sentence in the OP. n/t

[avebury]

29. I was talking about the

girl's parents -- obviously.

19. Her sister Juliet is transgender and a vocal LGBTQ supporter

I think she would be the perfect singer for a Trump inauguration - to watch conservative heads explode if nothing else.

28. Something that has only come out

If the media could blast this across their idiot screens that would be great.

10. Thanks

[Vinca]

3. I hope they winnow it down to that disgusting Nugent.

Make it the tackiest, creepiest, most embarrassing event ever held.

[They_Live]

13. "the tackiest, creepiest, most embarrassing event ever held"

THIS is a given.

No matter what happens.

[octoberlib]

4. It'll be Ted Nugent and Vince Neil,lol.

And maybe Kanye , if he's well enough.

14. Don't forget Meatloaf! n/t

5. About the girl........

Her singing for Drumpf was reported in the Pittsburgh paper and the article had a "comment" section.
I posted that it was certainly an opportunity for her to gain some fame but also stated that I hoped the parents wouldn't ever leave her alone with the "Gropper-Elect."

The "comments" section was cleared - gone - erased!!!!!!

Think Donnie didn't like it?

[WhiteTara]

6. Good. He's a smart man

who knows that he has a life after the coronation of the OrangeAnus.

[Martin Eden]

7. The new POTUS is a PARIAH

And by extension, the American electorate.

[jaxind]

8. Evancho's parents

Don't know why Mr and Mrs Evancho would want their daughter to sing for tump when one of their daughters is, I believe, a transgender. Obviously, the GOP is not transgender-friendly!!

[HurricaneWarning]

11. I would love to hear him sing "Time to Say Goodbye"

after the impeachment.

[demmiblue]

12. Ha, ha!

[mbusby]

18. She is singing the National Anthem...

...which is sung every 4th of July regardless of who is president and has sung two times for Obama. She supports her transgender sister, LGBT rights and has taken a lot of flak because of it. She sang at a venue where Trump was in the audience when she was 10 years old.

20. Email Evancho

I sent emails last week to Bocelli and Evancho asking them not to perform at the inauguration of an immoral man. Evidently, many Bocelli fans did the same. You can Google Evancho to find her website and send an email objecting to her performance. Trump's more deplorable fans have most likely never heard of her and do not support her music. People who likely do support her music are not Trump fans.

21. I had to look up both of them

I had never heard of either Andrea or Jackie.

[HAB911]

22. geeze

don't you know liberals are supposed to be opera loving elites? LOL

[treestar]

23. Hahaha!

Yes! And oddly, I like classical, but opera is just not my thing!

[Coventina]

24. Bocelli is not opera. He's an entertainer who sings a schmaltzy "pop opera" style.

Music professionals who have worked with him report he struggles to stay in tune.

[treestar]

25. Oh, ok

I was getting fooled by the description of "tenor."

[underpants]

26. The market has spoken

[pangaia]

27. FAMED OPERA SINGER--------- NOT

May I please ask that folks here refrain from calling this fellow a famed opera singer.

He is NOT a famed opera singer.
He is not even an opera singer.
Just ask any opera singer.
OR, any orchestra musician who has worked with him in a recording studio.
Or you can ask me.

He DOES, however,have a very good agent and management.
