R&B singer Chrisette Michele has graciously agreed to sacrifice the goodwill of her core demographic to perform for the upcoming Trump inauguration...
From The Daily News
Singer Chrisette Michele will join the party ushering in Trump's presidency, according to sources close to the festivities.
We're told that the deal was reached a week ago, but has been kept "a big secret" because Michelle's camp feared the seven days of criticism that would surely lead up the the divisive President-elect's big day. They became especially concerned when Jennifer Holliday, who'd committed to performing for PEOTUS last week, withdrew amidst heavy pressure on Monday, citing "a lapse of judgment."
Our insiders say that inauguration organizers first reached out to Michele's team asking her to perform the song "Intentional" with singers Travis Greene, Jonathan McReynolds, and Tye Tribbett — the same trio with whom she did that tune on BET's "Celebration of Gospel" broadcast one year ago. We're told that plan fell apart when at least two of those three singers declined the offer. But, according to our sources, Michelle agreed to sing for the Prez so long as she could perform an R&B set.
