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.

Criticizing the disabled, a new low for the left.

He has a magnificent voice. It’s his choice and his decision.

And she should get her head out of her ass and STFU.

I think I’ll buy a few of his CDs today. I don’t have him in my collection and I should.

Nothing is ever low enough for the party that uses dead people for votes, has rabid support for abortions, and is willing to start a war with a superpower because they can’t accept the results of an election where they cheated and still lost! These people are absolutely disgusting. If you don’t support their agenda in any way they will destroy you regardless of your race, religion, or disability. Those things only matter when you’re part of their team and they can use those attributes for their political advantage. If you’re not part of the team it’s open season on you.

“...These people are absolutely disgusting....”

Psychotic, too.

Broken from reality.

Yeah, Fatso, we should listen to a know-nothing blowhard like you for what this election was all about

I would otherwise say STHU and sing, but I don’t want to hear anything out of that trash mouth of yours

GTH

I just might as well myself.

During megabegging time when I worked in public TV, I evaluated and played back so many shows. No doubt his stuff went by my trusty BetacamSP and not so trusty DVC pros.

Okay, FReeple. You know what to do.

If his tour does not come to a town near you, at least buy the crap out of his CDs.

If you're not familiar with Bocelli, just check out some of his youtube videos. Beautiful, beautiful voice.

I’d wait until he performs, then buy them.
