I hope Jennifer gets the cash up front since Trump doesn't like to pay for services rendered!

No, it's not a "coup".  It's really not that surprising or unexpected.  Holliday will bug out her eyes and wobble her head for pretty much any gig.  She's known for milking one Broadway role in the early 80s and a fledgling R&B/Gospel career that essentially petered out by the early 90s.

She is not confirmed yet.  http://www.thewrap.com/jennifer-holliday-trump-inauguration-has-not-yet-agreed/

Folks who are familiar with Holliday may not be surprised, but it is clearly a win for Trump if he can land an African-American Tony winner for the inauguration.  Hopefully, she will get a feel for the backlash and decline.

Just read that Paul Anka has withdrawn from the inauguration.  He was supposed to perform a customized version of My Way praising Trump.

Maybe shes doing a duet with Steve Harvey.

"Family Feud" host Steve Harvey met with President-elect Donald Trump at Trump Tower on Friday.

After posing for photos with Trump in the lobby, the comedian told reporters that he came to meet with Trump after the transition teams of both President Obama and Trump reached out to him last week.

"I came and talked to the guy who's going to be the 45th President of the United States," Harvey said. "[We spoke about] housing for urban development...[to] bring some positive change in the inner cities. He wants to do something. He realizes he needs some allies in that department. He seemed really sincere about it.

Yes. Trump is interested in urban development as long as there is a way for his family to make a profit.

Member when Steve Harvey said he didn't "give a damn about slavery"?

If you ever listen to his morning radio show it'll be rather obvious that he doesn't give a damn about English grammar either. A teleprompter works wonders.

Trump's interest in urban development begins and ends with whether or not he can slap his name on a building and make money.

Steve Harvey is also an idiot who thinks evolution is "fiction" because it's not in the Bible and refuses to talk to non-Christians because they "have no moral barometer."

Citing backlash, singer Jennifer Holliday pulls out of Trump inauguration concert

By Ellen McCarthy January 14 at 12:35 PM 

Earlier this week, Broadway legend Jennifer Holliday agreed to perform at a welcome concert for Donald Trump’s inauguration. And then, in droves, her fans begged her not to. Now, she says, she won’t sing after all.

Saturday morning she shared an open letter with the Wrap, addressed to “My beloved LGBT Community,” writing that she has changed her mind and will no longer perform. “Regretfully, I did not take into consideration that my performing for the concert would actually instead be taken as a political act against my own personal beliefs and be mistaken for support of Donald Trump and Mike Pence,” she wrote, according to the site.

Trump will probably tweet that it is not a loss for she is highly overrated.
