How about asking a nice Conservative American girl to sing America the Beautiful, or God Bless America?
Attempting to appeal to a bunch of neo-hippies is simply wrong-headed! Perhaps she'd like to sing in Ferguson, MO.
The article does not mention that Andrea Bocelli and his family were threatened and harassed. The blind singer felt it prudent to withdraw because of the liberal hate threatening his family, not about Trump. They left that part out, but what else is new about the corrupt press. The media is to blame for nearly all of this when they were paid by Clinton to paint Trump as a monster to get the Corrupt Queen elected.
Her loss.
Who IS this person?
I was not familiar with the song “Strange Fruit” so I looked it up. I won’t put the lyrics on FR - that Ms. Ferguson would suggest that she would appear only if she could sing this song is beyond disgusting.
she’s fugly ...
I never even heard of this dope before she started making statements as if she was someone of importance.
Never heard of her and sorry she’s a typical screwed up leftist.
Strange fruit was a song about blacks being lynched. I’d say it’s hardly appropriate and very unfair. Good riddance.
The British The X-Factor alum, Rebecca Ferguson. Why should we care a whit?
I remember when pop tarts had to be at least remotely attractive.
Some reports. one on Yahoo...sigh, claim Marie Osmond has offered to sing.
Never heard of her and don’t care to hear anymore of her. But as typical of the self-important liberal mindset, I was not surprised to read the following:
> “I wanted to create a moment of pause for people to reflect.”
Control Freak with a small brain and narrow range of human experience. No thank you.
It’s not about her. It’s about America celebrating a new President.
I pity her children, husbands, future boyfriends, and other assorted partners.
Whose bright idea was this anyway?
Rebecca Ferguson’s yodeling of “Strange Fruit” at the Inauguration in Washington DC would’ve been worse than James Taylor’s slow-moaning and strumming through “You’ve Got A Friend” after the Islamic terrorist attacks in France. John F-n’ Kerry must be moonlighting as an agent for pop stars. I can’t imagine what’s on his Ipod. Probably doesn’t even have In-a-gadda-da-vida. If he does it’s probably the edited version.
Trump should really drive the left up the wall...invite David Allan Coe in her place....
“Rebecca Ferguson”
Just because you can sing, doesn’t mean you can think.
A hit record in 1939, "Strange Fruit" is Communist to the core. It was written in 1937 by Abel Meeropol, a Communist who later adopted the children of atom spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Billie Holiday was accompanied by the house band of the Cafe Society in New York City which was owned by Barney Josephson, also a Communist, as was Frank Newton, who led the band.
BFD
Was she even invited?
Strange Fruit was a great song for its time and purpose
but it is totally inappropriate for DJT inagural, imho
its no loss if this lady doesn’t sing at the inagural
she can watch it on the Telly like the rest of us
Who cares?
