Comments on Jackie's Facebook page are overwhelmingly negative unfortunately. I am hardly a fan of Mr. Trump (to say the least) but this is gig that Jackie just couldn't refuse IMO. I am and will remain a Jackie fan. I'm sorry to see so many comments taking it out on her. Hope this works out for the best.

It will be interesting to see how this new visibility affects sales of SAC. In the locations that do carry holiday CD's, Target stores went into the season with 5 copies per store, and Wal-Marts went in with 10 copies per store, but the supplies are not usually replenished due to the very short selling period. I am guessing a lot of people who had not heard of her will snap them up. Also, her official FB page is getting on average one new "like" every minute today.

1. Interest in SAC is shooting upwards, Awakening less so.
2. This is a good time to be supportive on Jackies facebook page, to counter the negative comments there. (Keep politics out of art. Like the olympics).
3. Strategically, this is the time to get active on all media (slippedisc is covering the story...). This is a blip on the social radar, and may not happen again for a while. Make that blip as big as possible. Strike while the iron is hot.

Here's my post to the Breitbart website comment thread just minutes ago after they posted that Jackie was chosen to perform the National Anthem. Breitbart is viewed by 10s of millions each day. Here's my comment, as many have noticed the attempts to trash her today on her social media sites. More from me tomorrow about this outrageous reaction to her on peeps.
"Sadly within a few minutes of announcing on the Today Show this morning that she was honored to be chosen, 2 of her most recent Instagram post comments pages were hit with appalling stuff like "you turncoat bitch". Jackie is a 16 year old part time singer, full time family member and high school student. One of America's great singers, nevertheless, since she was 10yo having performed for audiences as large as 100k (in Russia) when she was 12. Her rendition of the National Anthem is straight-up beautiful. Brilliant choice by Pres-elect Trump among many others since he was elected. Jackie will make this Nation proud and confident again that it still produces wonderful young women like her. If you haven't heard her before or of her just google Jackie Evancho, Youtube. You'll be amazed by what you've been missing."

Link to Breitbart article about her here: www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2016/12/14/singer-jackie-evancho-perform-national-anthem-trump-inauguration/#disqus_thread I remember a stink by some when Jackie went to Russia. And when Jackie backed her sister. Seeing total strangers spew their fear and hate onto a 16 year-old's fan site, shows this country's fears and divisions. Never can be enough hearing her healing voice. To change a phrase, "Send in an angel where mortals fear to tread". She has never been so brave. It is not just that her healing voice should be heard by all. It is her character (of caring to all, of humbleness, of not preaching politics or religion) that should become universally known and admired. Don

Interesting times. Maybe the best scenario is that the current hullabaloo is soon forgotten (there is no substance behind it), and things return to normal, and then come January her sales will go x10, maybe x100. (assuming distributors are wise enough to prepare). What would it take to make this happen?

www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/12/14/why-jackie-evancho-is-an-obvious-choice-to-sing-the-national-anthem-at-the-trump-inauguration/I think this article is very fair and it comes from a newspaper who has been very tough with Trump. From the article: "Presidential inaugural committee spokesman Boris Epshteyn tweeted, “She’s an inspiration for all Americans!” It’s an unsurprising choice for the ceremony following the incredibly contentious election, which has officials preparing for promises of protests and upwards of a million visitors. Singing the national anthem at the inauguration for a figure as polarizing as Trump could be incredibly fraught — especially at a time when something as mundane your choice of cereal can become a political act. Evancho is about as noncontroversial as performers come. Known as a classical crossover singer, she has performed patriotic songs for numerous official Washington ceremonies during the Obama administration, including singing “God Bless America” at this year’s Independence Day celebration on the Mall and performing at the lighting of the National Christmas Tree in 2010."

Unfortunately it refuses to show - unless of course you sign up in order to view it! (Ain't gonna happen.)
