Joy Villa's Billboard Top 12 Album: A Victory for Conservatives
American Thinker ^ | February 25, 2017 | David Gasten

Posted on 02/25/2017 5:11:18 AM PST by Kaslin

Joy Villa, the woman who wore the pro-Trump dress at the 2017 Grammy Awards, has just had her self-released album I Make the Static go to Number 12 on the Billboard 200. This is a victory both for conservatives who bought the album to support her and for American culture in general, as it demonstrates a preliminary move toward returning "popular" music to the people.

The 2017 Grammy Awards began as usual for the music industry. Everything was running smoothly until a little known singer-songwriter and fitness instructor named Joy Villa made a highly controversial pro-Donald Trump fashion statement at the ceremony. Villa came to the event wearing a white cloak that covered her from neck to toe, and then she removed the cloak to reveal a blue and white "Make America Great Again"-themed gown, with the word "TRUMP" printed in silver on the gown's train. News of Villa's unlikely fashion statement lit up social media and spilled into news headlines, as Trump supporters celebrated Villa's move while progressives viciously attacked her.

Villa's defenders took to buying her music as a token of support for her pro-Trump fashion statement. Fox News reported soon after that Villa's self-released five-song E.P., I Make the Static, had jumped to number one in the Amazon and iTunes bestseller lists. A few days later, Billboard magazine reported that Villa had sold 15,000 units of I Make the Static on Sunday and Monday following her Grammy appearance. Last Monday, Forbes magazine reported that I Make the Static moved approximately 28,500 units (26,545 of which were in actual album sales) (1). Then, on Wednesday of this week, Billboard officially confirmed that I Make the Static held the number 12 spot in the Billboard 200, citing 27,000 in album sales and 29,000 equivalent sales units.

She’s a very good person who thinks for herself. Here’s a great interview with her by Crowder

Yes she is good
Her version of “ We are the Champions” should become Trumps theme song

Not sure about that. The song is associated with a gay pop group that performed it several years ago.

Not my cup of tea but I downloaded the EP anyways. There are so few music performers willing to stand up for America that I will support them no matter what. A breath of fresh air compared to the ugly, hateful music performers that are the norm.

She’s even better than I first thought. Here’s another possibly relevant tune...a bit of rap but that’s okay with me when it is within a melody and not the whole thing:

“Get Your Freedom”

Just more proof that more people support Trump than those who do not, yet the fake media news keeps reporting the opposite and only publicizes the people who do not. When is the last time you read about a group of people who support Trump in the main stream fake media news?

Some libs are still whining that she upstaged the Grammys with her Trump dress. The dress looked far better than,IIRC, Heidi Klum(?)who looked tacky as if she had forgotten the lower part to her dressy t-shirt.

Not sure about that. The song is associated with a gay pop group that performed it several years ago.

The group wasn't gay, only the lead singer, who was bisexual and as confused as he was talented. He lived with and loved a woman for years and left his massive estate to her. The rest of the band are all straight guys.

It’s time for Conservatives to start rallying around Conservative artists. Doesn’t matter if the music is great, a .99$ download done en masse’ is a help to the cause...we have GOT to win the culture war!
