thanks jr , all news outlets as papers , networks , books , articles , stations , social media , etc have a lean to what they print , a agenda of sort to believe or not to believe , one can not believe the FBI or CIA in total , trust no one 100% as in the X-Files , btw why would they invite Bocelli ? did he vote ?

If I may be so bold as to say that this event may put Jackie in the limelight for a brief period, but once the shine is off the Apple, it's back to near obscurity. Her music is flying off the shelves now, but the attention span of the general public is short lived, and it won't be long after the 20th that things will be back to normal. Sure, she'll pick up a few die hard fans, but, unfortunately, her celebrity will not last. Once she finds where she should fit in this music business, then we can start rubbing the Apple again! JMO ☺♪♫ You could be right willyiam, but Two Hearts will be out (will "drop" LOL) early next year, perhaps soon enough to take advantage of the publicity. Her album sales were generally declining up to the inauguration announcement; they may further turn around with 2H. We'll see.

What Jackie Evancho represents transcends the person being sworn in. She is showing her respect for the office, (she has said she is singing for the office, not Donald Trump by name). She is also singing to honor the over 200 year history of the peaceful transfer of power that helps to make our country unique. Those who are attacking the talent that have been asked to take part are being very short sighted. Donald Trump will occupy the White House for 4 or perhaps 8 years but the office of the president will go on. It is for this reason that I and many millions of people support her decision to sing the National anthem. That is also why I pray for God's grace and protection to be with her. This little 16 year old girl is showing more courage and moral integrity than those who have chosen to turn their backs on the great honor that has been bestowed upon her.

JMO ☺♪♫ Yep, this is one event. A very big event, but still just one event. It will not be the salvation of her career, nor its downfall. Most Americans will not be watching the inauguration, regardless of whom they voted for, nevermind the rest of the world. But maybe some will have seen Jackie instead on the Today Show or another program, or attended one of her concerts. Just keep plugging away, Jackie!

If you get Gods' ear put in a good word for all the poor children around the world in war countries and add us members as i am sure his ear is full but i suspect he will if he wants to with Jackie

I can think of a million reasons that Jackie should perform. One being its the national anthem not after show entertainment. It is part of the process not a advertising or feel good campaign, there is a difference.
At the other end of the spectrum is she owns the song, its now one else's to sing. And it's the same group of people that didn't vote her in for a Grammy that are so self righteous in turning down this event, while they will all gladly accept and stuff up the super bowl.
The A list need to step aside for talent, that is the etiquette is about.

What if Jackie decided to perform at the Inaugural Gala also, would that change anyones stance on the matter?

The idea that a musical artist's appearance somehow lends legitimacy is patently silly... and is only true in the super inflated egos of artists I'd be unlikely to spend money on... ie NOT Jackie. Donald Trump will be president regardless who sings in DC on Jan 20th... in other words, in the grand scheme, it's just another gig for anyone who performs at the inauguration.

As it is, singing the SSB is something she can do for the whole country, maybe even help bring people together. Singing at other events would seem like more of an endorsement, something she's tried to avoid in the past (for either side) - but maybe that's just me. Anyway, she has to be in Tyler TX the next day! She needs to sing the anthem, get out of town & get on the airplane. Her fans really want to see her in Tyler!

Another good visitor's comment at Jackie's Facebook:
Mike Youknowwho to Jackie Evancho 2 hrs.
Hi, I know Jackie Evancho doesn't moderate this page, and I hope she doesn't have to read any of the few criticisms and hurtful, ignorant remarks regarding her upcoming performance. If so, or if not, I was asked by the other 7 billion people to mention a couple of things.
My name is Mike and according to the dictionary, I am very, very liberal. The dictionary tells me I am not conservative. I have read a lot of different kinds of books, and am comfortable calling myself a Socialist. I also read a lot of 19th/early 20th century fiction, and listen to all kinds of music constantly. I, more or less, work for a school as an accountant (I do math).
History is going to remember Jackie Evancho as a gift to mankind. Ok, Jackie, time to stop reading. I buy all of your new music. --Mike
As for the 18 other people who forgot: Jackie Evancho didn't get to vote in this year's presidential election, and it's a bit much to expect her to have a Bachelors in Political Science at 16 years old. What were you doing at 16? When I was 16, I would have sang, danced and played a trumpet for a Clinton, a Bush OR Darth Reagan, and I can't sing or play trumpet.
I'm miserable about the election, too, but taking out your frustration on a kid is disgusting and wrong. Whether you were a Republican Dad yelling at your son for spelling "potato" correctly, or one of today's, you know, majority of Americans, it's not okay to attack a child. It's also illogical to threaten to "boycott" a 16-year old singer for playing a gig that Sinatra took at his peak, because you don't like a guy, but boycott whatever you want. She did not and could not support or, probably, care less about any Presidential candidate. Remember Dukakis? Exactly.
If you enjoy good classical music, check out Shostakovich's 8th Symphony, or not because Stalin more or less appropriated it. What about if Mozart performed for a particularly nasty emperor? When he was 16? Jackie Evancho seems like a much classier and dignified teenager than I was, but when I was 16, I did not care about politics, and I was not about to let anyone talk me out of doing something that sounded cool.
In closing, we just want you 18 people who forgot to remember: Don't be mean to people, especially kids, you're better than that. ---7 billion people

For me it might. As it is, singing the [abbr style="border-bottom: 1px dotted #000000;" title="Star Spangled Banner"]SSB[/abbr] is something she can do for the whole country, maybe even help bring people together. Singing at other events would seem like more of an endorsement, something she's tried to avoid in the past (for either side) - but maybe that's just me. There are many entertainers that I disagree with on a number issues, but thoroughly enjoy their artistic works. In fact, if I were to allow my differences with these performers to affect my purchasing decisions, I'd likely buy very little entertainment. Some of my favorite performers in film and music are opposed to my very profession. Some of these performers use the very subject material in their performances that they rail against in public life. Seems very hypocritical to me, but thankfully I can separate their work from their opinions. I can sit and enjoy the performance on it's own merits and ignore their public statements.
