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.

Exactly. If ol’ double chin doesn’t want to sing at a Trump inauguration, fine. But allow other people the right to make their decisions in their life. She would make a great Stalinist.

“Criticizing the disabled, a new low for the left.” proust

Ain’t it the truth! Bocelli has a beautiful voice and has
obviously worked at cultivating it. He IS blind, and the
Left is LOW for criticizing him. :o(

With all due respect to Mr. Bocelli, good point.

I'll bet Trump requested 'Nessun Dorma'....

It sends my hair on end every time I hear it.

One of my favorites:

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

I started listening to him after Pavarotti died. Amazing voice.

Thanks for the idea, I’m going to order Bocelli CDs from amazon (yes i know).

Thank you for the clarification.
I hope that Dr Michael Brown who says this whole sexual perversion stuff will eventually collapse because our world is based the way the good Lord intended to have male and female and reproduce the species anything else will ultimately fail...

Hollywood’s blacklist that the academics and media support.

Recall the backlash for the “shut up and sing” movement as the “fat” Chick spouted anti-Americanism while on foreign soil in a time of war?

Here a performer is just singing and the Left is throwing a fit saying he should have refused. What happened to “bake the cake” and “take the photo”? Can a band refuse to play a same sex wedding?

The guy has stuck his gone out on a limb and put his reputation and livelihood on the line and you need proof before you support?

instead of supporting him ahead to let him know he made a good choice during this long approx month between now and inauguration when leftists etc may boycott him?

Has he? The story says he has not personally confirmed his participation yet, though his team has leaked it is a done deal.

Now is that Andrea's team or Trump's team they are referring too? Also, why not just personally confirm his participation?

You can rely on this report, I chose to adopt a wait and see the reality or at the very least his personal confirmation before offering up any financial support.

I don't think I am asking too much from him to be honest.

Why exactly does my approach bother you? How will you feel if he backs out and you along with others have offered up support? As of yet I have failed to see him out there on any limb. Just rumors of that claim along with supposed claims of leaks.

Indeed. And it’s hatred directed at normalcy.

The media is a cancer. They will do whatever they can to undermine Trump. I’m all for limiting their access to him.

97% donated and back Democrats, so that is not a press, that is a propoganda arm.

I was on Facebook a few days ago and the liberals...hundreds of them, said they will never buy another recording of his and they’ll boycott his concerts. They were so disgusting. The comments were hateful.

I just read an article in the NY Post today saying Bocelli now has chosen not to perform at the inauguration. Then the article finally added, “Trump suggested to Bocelli he not participate because of the backlash. It’s sad people on the left kept him from performing on a historic day.”
