DRAG HA!Highlights include: "It is not clear yet at exactly which event Michele will perform. " "I'd pay Chrisette to NOT perform" - Questlove tweet The inclusion of the "Lost One" video as subtle shade I swear...if Trump supporters throw rocks at her and chant: "Get off the stage, jigaboo!" she better NOT take to Twitter or any other part of Social Media because no one will have it.

There are more people threatening not to buy her music than actually bought her past few albums combined...

She'll be crying on Unsung next year about how this decision ruined her career.

How exactly does Chrisette believe she is going to be a bridge in any way? She's not being invited to a sit-down to discuss policy. She is being asked to sing at one of the parties. That's it. Not even the inauguration itself, just a party where she will be singing with other people. She must have a helluva lot of faith in her political networking skills to think she will ever be asked her opinion on anything, in the present or the future. And she's on record as saying she doesn't believe black people should be staging protests, marches, or boycotts - " they were the answer 60 years ago" - which really says more about how people really were not checking for her, because all these people mad and threatening not to buy music that they already weren't buying should have already known to write her respectability politics ass off half a year ago. But I don't care enough to express ire at her and in fact, don't find much of it justified; given her known stance on things, accepting this opportunity isn't even selling out for her. It's what she actually believes is a step in the right direction for the black community as a whole, bless her heart. She believes having a seat at the table means you'll also be included in the discussion and decision-making at that table too, and that's not stupid so much as just naive. The stupid comes in because she believes this opportunity can even be construed as being offered a seat...nonetheless, there's a solid 0.1378% chance that she's not wrong, so I say let her do what she believes is productive. The rest of us also have work to do, and yelling at some Z-list celebrity for earning a paycheck is not that work, it's just a wasteful distraction.

I found it funny people are not checking for the hundreds millions Trump voters. Instead they are picking at someone who's clearly there just to earn some papers.

Anyone with a lick of common sense and who has watched any media coverage over the past two months knows this is a dumb idea. Like what world is she living in where this is good for her career? And her statement... LMAO.

I can't handle the social media reaction to this. DYING.
Her foolishness has me listening to her first couple of albums again. So I guess something positive came out of it, I hadn't thought of her in a minute.

Spike Lee was planning to use her song Black Girl Magic in his show She's Gotta Have It (based on his film) but...not anymore, based on his Instagram post. #oop.

Dumb now she is hated by the people she sang for and everyone else who isn't trash. I think she has every right to do whatever the fuck she wants and outside of death threats (people take shit too far) she also deserves all the dragging and hate . How you a black woman spit in the face of civil right leaders and other older black people who fought for you and sing for people stripping you of your humanity is the definition of human garbage and selfish bitch. I can't stand people like her and I hope d list career flames out.

Eek. I mean, for her caliber, that's a nice piece of change. But either way, it looks bad, man.
