London (CNN)British pop singer Rebecca Ferguson says she has been invited to perform at Donald Trump's inauguration, but her response may not be the RSVP the President-elect's team were expecting.
The former UK X-Factor runner-up said she would only accept the invitation on the condition that she could perform "Strange Fruit" -- a song protesting racism in 1930s America, made famous by Billie Holiday.

This has to stop.
As long as she sings “Strange Fruitcake” at Hillary’s funeral.
Why did they invite her?
NOPE! Plenty more runner-ups out there to choose from... Next Pop Star!
Literally who?
Desperation?
A nobody who thinks they can dictate the terms of what would be the gig of their life is an egotistical fool who just talked themselves out of a job.
Oh, for g-d’s sake. Trump should just hire a bunch of talented unknowns and not even announce who is playing.
Enough of all this BS. Just swear DJT in and get to work MAGA!!
Who needs her? How arrogant is it for her, invited to a very prestigious gig, to deliberately pick a song that insinuates false things about the new President? Why should Trump afford her a national platform to spew her libtard half-truths and propaganda?
strange fruit = lynched negroes hanging in the trees
It is all a game. Ignore it and move on.
It’s time these leftist !@(*#@s are told to take their “EVERYTHING IS RACIST!” meme and shove it.
I’d pay my own way to Washington for a chance to sing at Trump’s inauguration...,
We have countless examples of racism by the left, but huh...funny, I can't think of one example by Trump. Maybe saying Mexico is sending rapists? I guess that would be a valid example except for the fact that Mexico is doing that....

Who????
I agree. There’s no time for trivialities.
Kids, from charter high schools, from across the fruited plain.
Or voices from the various military groups.
I never heard of her. Can’t be that good. But, we are seeing all the half witted, mentally disturbed, weak minded liberal/progressive/socialists come out. We know who to avoid in the future.
Never heard of her. What’s with the foreigners anyway? Elton John, Celine Dion and this fruitcake. Don’t we have any entertainers in this country anymore? Besides, “runner-up” is second place. She should sing at one of the Clintoonie shindigs.
