I thought I would drop in here and say Happy Holidays and for those just hanging out today… ignoring the holidays…. I thought I would add a little flavor to ya today regarding the Inaugural Ball 2017.
I have to say that I am not surprised at Donald whining about his Balls festivities. The music is not that big grand party that he really wanted to experience. Shoot, Florida residence saw more action than his Inaugural Ball according to the RSVP’s. I hear he got the Rockettes to play but even Kid Rock said no. I know old Ted Nuggent is chomping at the bits to play but I have no clue if he even has an invitation.The Donald has scored The Morman Tabernacle Choir which will not please the Evangelicals too terribly much. ( Some of them like to get down when no one is looking).
So according to this.. Here is the scoop on his Big Balls.
All those who said no. Of course these are the ones we know about.
At Barack Obama’s first inaugural ball in 2009, he and Michelle Obama shared their first dance as president and first lady to Beyoncé’s live version of Etta James’ “At Last.” Also performing that night were supporters Jay Z, Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder, and a host of others.
Four years later, Beyoncé took the stage at Obama’s second inauguration to controversially lip sync “The Star-Spangled Banner.” That event also featured performances by James Taylor and Kelly Clarkson.
So far, Donald Trump has booked a 16-year-old former America’s Got Talent singer named Jackie Evancho.America’s celebrity president-elect was a little too vocal during the campaign about his disdain for celebrities who endorse politicians, whining to a crowd just a few days before the election that he didn’t need Jay Z and Beyoncé to draw a crowd like his opponent did in Cleveland. “I’m here all by myself. Just me, no guitar, no piano, no nothing,” Trump said, defensively.
But now, Trump is reportedly so “unhappy” with his inauguration planning committee’s failure to attract top musical talent for his swearing-in that the team, led by The Celebrity Apprentice producer Mark Burnett, has brought on former American Idol and Dancing with the Stars booker Suzanne Bender to execute a “Hail Mary” with less than a month to go.
Jimmy Carter reportedly remains the only former U.S. president confirmed to attend Donald Trump’s swearing-in ceremony with less than a month until inauguration day.
While President Obama will undoubtedly be on hand to ceremoniously pass the torch to Mr. Trump on Jan. 20, he’s so far slated to be joined by only one other former commander in chief, Politico reported Friday.
Mr. Carter, 92, told a Sunday school class in Georgia earlier this month that he plans to attend Mr. Trump’s inauguration, making him the only one of Mr. Obama’s three living predecessors to RSVP. Mr. Carter, a Democrat, supported Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
George H.W. Bush, 92, has already confirmed that he’ll be skipping the event, according to a spokesman who cited the former president’s advanced age as the reason he won’t be attending Mr. Trump’s inauguration next month.
George W. Bush, his 70-year-old son, won’t decide until next month whether he’ll attend, a spokesperson said.
“We simply don’t discuss his schedule this far in advance,” spokesperson Freddy Ford told CBS News.
Listening to this… party night….
x YouTube VideoBand List For Trump’s Inaugural Ball Gets Posted – People Are Laughing So Hard They Can’t Breathe | If You Only News Mark Burnett, who produces “Celebrity Apprentice” with Trump and has been overseeing entertainment for inauguration festivities, has brought in talent recruiter Suzanne Bender, a former “Dancing With the Stars” and “American Idol” booker, to end an effective freeze-out by Hollywood, the insider said.It has been reported that he has offered high dollar and even ambassadorship for people to perform. ( The ambassadorship would be illegal, not that any of that matters to the Donald.
The only Former President to RSVP is Former President Carter and I believe he is doing that because he likes President Obama and wants him to have another Dem President to hang with not to feel any more out of place than he probably already does HAVING to associate with the likes of Trump and his supporters. ( of course that is just my opinion).
Of course Jimmy Carter respects the office of the President and is a very traditional, classy man. Sit down Donald and try to grasp some common sense between the two Dem Champion presidents.
The Music Man should be playing for the Big Con. I guess that would be too in the face? Naaaah not for the Donald.Besides the little-known Evancho, the biggest names that Boris Epshteyn, communications director for the inaugural committee—a job title only slightly more glamorous than Trump TV host—was able to announce on CNN Thursday were the Radio City Rockettes and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, both of which have performed at previous inaugurations. An invite to the remaining members of the Beach Boys (sans Brian Wilson, who is the Beach Boys) is still under consideration by the band.
There is a much longer list of artists and groups to whom the Trump team has reached out, but have politely declined, opting to steer clear of an event that is shaping to draw less celebrity firepower than the Republican National Convention—which featured such luminaries as Scott Baio .
Well, I won’t be waching the big Fail but I heard there may be an opposition ball and that is where the real talent will be. How can he and Ivanka, I mean Melania dance to The Rockettes or The Morman Tabernacle Choir?
