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.

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

I have some of his work and enjoy the heck out of it - epsecially during Christmas time.

Don’t worry about it, Andrea. As if that gang of freaks on the left were ever fans of yours anyway.

In reference to the American soprano Aprile Millo, from the looks of that picture, I would say that Andrea Bocelli has a big advantage over me.

He will not have to partake of any eye or brain bleach after beholding her!

And I can say that, because I am an overweight “older” American Soprano!

I hear April Milo is handicapped.

Her mouth only holds one cannoli at a time as she attempts to stuff down three more.

Who said he is endorsing anybody? Maybe he's just a guy who considers it the gracious thing to do when a head of state invites him to sing. Why do the leftists have to politicise everything?

We are already in a civil war, but nobody is using guns yet. They just destroy anyone’s career that voices even the slightest support for Trump.

Look for about 90% of his peers to refuse to perform with him or hire him for concerts after this. Anyone who tries to break through and support him will also be vilified.

Outsourcing already because there seems to be no American that wants to sing for him.

..................

Garth Brooks wants to. Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, Charlie Daniels? Lee Greenwood has to be there too

Jackie Evancho has an older brother, Jacob, who thinks he’s a girl. As best is known at this time, he is a crossdresser with intact male genitalia and perhaps undergoing hormone treatments. The travesty was aided & abetted by their stage mother, and acquiesced to by a passive father.

The left treats anyone supporting Trump the way the Nazis treated the Jews. And they don’t even see it.

In my grandparents’ Germany, Jews were as assimilated as they are today in America. They lived good middle to upper middle class lives. They didn’t keep kosher that much, they didn’t always observe everything, but they gave their kids a Jewish education and hung out at the synagogue on Saturdays. My grandmother was sent to the convent to learn sewing as they were the best. She was sent to hotel kitchens to learn cooking. They made the same cookies in December as the Christians.

When the Nazis started to force people to boycott Jewish businesses, it wasn’t about the Jews’ religious observances. It was blanket shut down everything belonging to any Jews. How are the libs any different, not even allowing (by social and career ostracism) performers to perform at the inauguration of their opponent? It’s very scary. You can see how ordinary Germans became killers. Huge populations can be shamed and mocked into genocide and we are barely a hair away from it. Destroying someone’s chance of a career is getting close to killing them.
