The US Presidential Inauguration is drawing near and reports have it that President-elect Donald Trump is having a difficult time looking for an A-Class performer. Has all the artist condemned him that they refuse to play for him? According to reports, trump is desperate to hire performers that he's already offering ambassadorships and diplomatic posts for singers and bookers just to join him.
However there are still no takers and that's not a big wonder. Idina Menzel said it's Karma, baby. That's because all the artists in America got up to promote Hillary Clinton. But she still didn't win so they're all recovering from that, Elle reported.
The "Frozen" actress also shared a suggestion to Trump's situation. According to the actress, since he believes he's good at everything, why won't he just sing for himself? "Maybe he'll just have to sing something himself. He probably thinks he has a great voice; he thinks he does everything great," Menzel said.
According to the same report, if he will do it himself, then people might actually tune in to his inauguration. Another suggestion is maybe he should hire Alec Baldwin to perform for him since he's such an awesome performer.
However, according to a different report, Donald Trump finally found someone. Jackie Evancho, a 16-year old opera singer confirmed that she will be singing the national anthem.
"It's a little nerve-racking, but I'm honored," Evancho said in an interview that Vanity Fair reported. "I get to perform for the office. I'm very excited." This is going to be one of the highlights of her career, although it's not the first time she's going to sing for a president.
According to the same report, Evancho already sang "O Holy Night" for President Obama in 2010 and in 2012. Trump's Inaugurations Committee Communications Director Boris Epshteyn said they're delighted for Evancho. That's because she's a true role model and inspiration for people of all ages what with the fact that she's the youngest solo artist who went platinum.
According to Epshteyn, Evancho represents the best and the brightest of America. But before Evancho, many big names have been approached. These include Elton John, Garth Brooks, and Vince Neil.
Kanye West was also speculated to perform because of the recent closed-door meeting he had with the president-elect. However it really seems like the rapper instigated the meeting not because he wanted to perform during the inauguration. He was there to push his own political agenda.
