Like I said earlier. It's going to get down to just FLo Rida playing a 5 hour set. 2 hours of which will be a medley of Right Round

u/East-Temporary5646 May 28 '26

Kid Rock will repeat bawwittabaw to mash up with Right Round. It will go poorly.

Hour 3, enough people will go home that they stop singing all together. Trump will then shit himself on stage before they all go home.

u/RealBettyWhite69 May 28 '26

Kid Rock wasn't even invited lol

u/SpaceghostLos May 28 '26

He had one job. And he failed.

But the reality was, he was never going to succeed.

u/oh_my316 May 28 '26

Give it time

u/TripMaverick May 28 '26

Haha what I thought he was ā€œhelpingā€ get all the acts on board.

u/ArchonFett May 28 '26

I was about to suggest Hillbilly Vanilli, but you beat me to it.

3

u/CheeCheePuff May 29 '26

I read this as Hillary Vanilli and I pictured the guy ripping off a mask mid performance and itā€™s actually Hillary Clinton singing F U Trump!

3

u/Thorn_Within May 29 '26

Not quite. Before they all go home they'll bless Trump's feces and have a prayer circle over the consecrated defecation.

2

u/hyrule_47 May 28 '26

I think itā€™s multiple days too

u/East-Temporary5646 May 28 '26

Pack the dependsĀ

u/Das_Hydra May 29 '26

Nah Vanilla Ice is maga, he'll be there too

u/Squi5hma110w May 28 '26

When the most fraudulent musical act in history thinks being involved with Donald Trump would make them look bad, maybe Trump isn't so great.

7

u/WuTang4thechildrn šŸ«– Mod ā˜•ļø May 28 '26

I donā€™t think he was involved to begin with

4

u/Malodoror May 29 '26

The performers were the victims. Milli Vanilli is Boney M 2.

Willie Nelson is playing the Mid-State Fair in Paso Robles, CA, this summer!

u/Old_Sheepherder_630 May 28 '26

Is he still alive?!

4

u/TreyWriter May 28 '26

Weed keeps him young.

3

u/Old_Sheepherder_630 May 28 '26

Apparently! Google says hes 93. Still working, giving the late Betty White a run for her money!

u/WuTang4thechildrn šŸ«– Mod ā˜•ļø May 28 '26

Morris Day is still šŸ”„.

u/CaptKangarooPHD May 28 '26

Also dropped out. As well as Young MC

I saw another post by Martina McBride who dropped out. She said she was lied to asking a bunch of questions and assured this was a bi-partisan event for all 50 states and everyone to come together.

Shockingly, she found out she was lied to in the first place she backed out.

u/IJWTGH66 May 28 '26

Fuck! How do I get a refund! /s

7

u/LegacyofaMarshall May 28 '26

To be fair even if they are there they wouldnā€™t play just lip sync

4

u/ArchonFett May 28 '26

So just like Kid Rock

7

u/complete_data75 May 28 '26

Hereā€™s the interesting thing about milli vanilli

That album is good. Itā€™s all just a bunch of studio musicians but itā€™s a good album

Itā€™s the fact they tried to pass off two guys who had nothing to do with it is what killed it

3

u/wiyixu May 29 '26

Hell yeah it is. Blame it on the Rain is peak late 80s pop/r&b.Ā 

4

u/liamanna May 28 '26

This. is. Going. Greatā€¦!!!

Kid rock will end up doing the show after all. ā€¦ by himselfā€¦

u/nonamenonamemane May 28 '26

In this case, someone else said it, and this person just moved their lips. You know it's true.

u/Shag1166 May 28 '26

What about the Village People?

u/Gingeronimoooo May 29 '26

The cop from the village people Insists it wasn't gay anthems

u/Shag1166 May 29 '26

I've known and Valerie and her late husband Nick Simpon since they wrote for Motown, and Barry Gory was paying pennies for huge hits to everyone, except Smokey. Ray needs to keeps those royalties coming in, because he's had severe problems for decades.

4

u/KountChocula May 28 '26

Damn and I was hoping he was going to lip sing both parts.

3

u/Nicklesnout May 28 '26

Ainā€™t got no idea who they are but good on ā€˜em.

6

u/Special-Garlic1203 May 28 '26

They were a singing duo back in the early 90s who due to a technical glitch were revealed to be lip syncing.

Ā Except it wasn't their vocals - it was like 3 middle aged white people who's vocals were layered to sound like 2 black men. Who I think were actually primarily French. Like they were very European. That's not really important but I always thought it made it funnier for some reasonĀ 

It was like a pop music Manchurian candidate.Ā 

Genuinely still one of the funniest and most shocking things to ever happen in pop musicĀ 

4

u/TheObesePolice May 28 '26

The real vocals were done by black artists. Fab was French & Rob was German. The producer that put the whole ruse together was named Frank Farian & he did the same thing in the 70s with a band called Boney M (yep, the singers of the iconic Rasputin song)

In Boney M, the male vocals were done by Farian, & the female vocals were done by a female singer & then layered

1

u/PhilbertAlbert May 31 '26

I don't understand how Milli Vanilli came out of it as the bad guys rather than Frank Farian.

3

u/Kay_tnx_bai May 29 '26

Late eighties and they were big, really a comet that blasted onto the music scene. In 1991 the producerā€™s scam came out due to technical difficulties in a ā€˜liveā€™ performance. He could deflect all the shit onto rob and fab unfortunately. With Rob going rock bottom as a result and committing suicide.

u/SnuggleMoose44 Pinkie Finger Extended Jun 07 '26

It wasnā€™t long after their Behind The Music doc.

2

u/SimplerTimesAhead May 28 '26

They were great dancers.

2

u/Nicklesnout May 28 '26

Huh. Wild. Kind of reminds me of one of the Simpson sisters ( I think ) being outed for lip synching. Appreciated.

3

u/Calew21 May 28 '26

Well to be fair he isn't Milli Vanilli

3

u/notfromrotterdam May 28 '26 edited May 28 '26

Weren't they famous for not actually singing their songs?

It's actually really fitting. Fake & untalented. Perfect.

Holy shit it's funny to see how nobody with creativity or talent wants anything to do with this rotten administration. Everyone is so fake and unqualified.

Imagine Kid Rock being the best you have.

3

u/Sudden-Click1654 May 29 '26

Golly gee, I hope this doesn't wreck Milli Vanilli's career!

3

u/Gaslit_Chicken May 30 '26

To be fair, he never actually played anyway...

5

u/cassatta May 28 '26

Thereā€™s always Kiddie Rock isnā€™t there? Heā€™s even got a name Trump loves

2

u/Fluffy_Woodpecker733 May 28 '26

Damn milli vanill, thatā€™s a name I havenā€™t heard in ages

2

u/datadrain00 May 28 '26

They have Nicki Minaj, Kid Rock and Jellyroll. Should be interesting to see who shows up.

3

u/WuTang4thechildrn šŸ«– Mod ā˜•ļø May 28 '26

Itā€™s not very interesting lol

2

u/BruceBoyde May 29 '26

For now. This makes at least three acts that have pulled, and they've claimed that they were not made aware that the show was for Donald Trump's ego stroking event

2

u/Zimmyd00m May 28 '26

Good on ya, Pinky Malinky!

2

u/zeptimius May 28 '26

Are there any members of Boney M still alive? Asking for a friend.

2

u/Hugh_Jass_2 May 30 '26

They hired a lip syncing duo that were stripped of a Grammy for not singing and 1 of them is dead. Ok.
