Milli Vanilli is out, too.

Jodie Rocco, Milli Vanilli’s singer, told The Associated Press on Thursday that none of the group members had been asked to perform.

“My sister and I were shocked to see our name, ‘Milli Vanilli,’ as one of the performers,” Rocco told AP.

And in a message posted to social media, the Grammy Award-winning R&B/funk group the Commodores announced they will not be performing at the event.

“Our music has always been our voice and we choose not to publicly affiliate with any single political party,” the Commodores posted. “We support the betterment of all Americans.”

1. Yeah! I'm so happy the Commodores declined.😀

[Miles Archer]

3. Yeah. I have friends who feel the same way about Morris Day

And in typical fashion for TrumpWorld, Day also claims he never agreed to do it in the first place.

Martina McBride used to appear on whatever the hell Sean Hannity used to call his "Freedom Concerts"...something like that. Also Sara Evans, another country singer like McBride. They were both big Hannity pals.

4. I think one of her songs used to be Hannity's radio show opening buffer

Complete with lyrics so I always figured she donated it to him in some way. Getting to lyrics in a buffer means paying royalties.

13. Independence Day

He clearly never listened to the whole song.

Drug-addled gasbag Rush Limbaugh (thankfully he's still dead) used a Pretenders song, and paid for it. Chrissie Hynde donated the money to PETA.

[ToxMarz]

8. There is another post here that says Martina McBride is not performing as well

[Coventina]

2. Maybe they can get the Circle Jerks to perform?

[Ilsa]

5. They don't have any has-beens on backup?

I thought there might be a few "conservative" C&W performers that would jump at the chance to be there.

[ornotna]

6. Apparently it's Freedom 250

America 250 is a Congressional sponsored event.
According to MSNOW.

[Disaffected]

7. But what about Lara Trump??

She should at least get to sing the national anthem.

[BeneteauBum]

9. Maybe they can get Kid Rock

He can perform five times a day for the duration of the celebration. That way, the schedulers can’t screw this up any more……..except for the starting times.

Peace ☮️

[progressoid]

10. And now Martina is out!

[BaronChocula]

11. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the stage...

Chachi and the Sorbos!

[Ars Longa]

12. I guess it's down to Nugent & Kid Rock and maybe

Lee Greenwood. Nobody wants to be associated with this rancid bunch!

[Ars Longa]

14. Maybe they can get these guys:

[rpannier]

18. One of them (maybe 2) are in Cuba

Got deported
I laughed so hard as she had her meltdown in south Florida about how unfair it all was/is

[durablend]

15. What about Scott Baio?

He can do a duet with Kevin Sorbo

[Hassin Bin Sober]

16. One half of MILLI VANILLI died?

RIP

[rpannier]

17. It's okay. Kid Rock, Lee Greenwood and that guy who sang the song about a small town

Be a show for the ages...

[Miles Archer]

19. UGH. Jason Aldean.

I was a DJ in a very cool honky tonk dive bar in the Nevada desert.

There were a handful of people I would not play under any circumstances, even though I played a mix of old school country and the current country hits on the Billboard charts.

ONE OF THEM was JASON ALDEAN.

He just seemed like a template MAGAt, long before that song. A real slob. God-awful "music."



WIKIPEDIA: "His 2011 rap-country hit "Dirt Road Anthem" is considered his biggest hit to date"

[EdmondDantes_]

20. The people going by Milli Vanilli are the people who did the singing

The one who died was one of the lip syncers. So neither the current band or the surviving half of the lip syncers will be there.
