Is this just with Black women? What about Travis Green, Steve Harvey, Kanye? Are Black people still supporting them? They definitely aren't being treated like her.
Crystal Clark in my eyes, I don't support any of them. As soon as you think you are exempt from black scrutiny and you start dancing. I separate. Kanye married a white bitch asap.

She's not making sense at all. She keeps saying I want to uplift the black community. But the black community said to her this is not going to uplift us, don't do it. Yet, she does it anyway? what?

You are entitled to earn a living. You are NOT entitled to be free from the consequences of your choices on how to make a living. She made her choice, so her fans made theirs. The fans had the right, just like her.
I'm STILL a Chrisette; all you can do is follow your heart! I don't get why folks are so upset. You can't please folk, we're too flakey, please God, & keep it pushin. I'm thankful for your gift. I still listen to you singing "Stand" on Sunday Best, so you keep standing. Peace
Are you slow he doesn't like black people what do y'all not get why y'all ride him so much 🤣🤣. some black people that supports him only because 🤑🤑 money. and they claim he can act ghetto 🤣🤣. what has he did for black people.
Haggai chapter 1 says''Give careful thought to your ways,go up into the mountains and bring down timber and build my house so i may take pleasure in it and be honored.'' God is for you sis Chrisette and your intention was to heal, Heavens noticed and took count. Love from South Africa
roy hunt yes, blacks were underemployed and underpaid under Carter, Reagan, Bush I, Clinton, Bush II and Obama. but guess what the unemployment rate for blacks is the lowest it's been since they started tracking it in 1970. Trust me, if this feat had happened under Obama, blacks would have hailed him as king (some did that anyway). Even though by most metrics he was worse for blacks than Clinton. Obama was more for gays and illegals than he was for blacks.
I came here to say, I loved seeing her singing at the inauguration. I didn’t know she didn’t vote for Trump, I assumed she did. However, that will never change my feelings towards her. I love and support her always. Let people vote how they want. We do not all think the same just because the color of our skin. Period.
Thanks for being brave and being you. Don't live your life to please others. Democrats do not own us. Work is work. We need no validation. I love you more for standing up and performing despite the haters. LIVE YOURS AND TAKE YOUR JOURNEY. Like we as a people make prudent decisions in life. Love u queen.
This is a foolish statement. It would make sense if she weren’t an artist. She cut off a whole LOT of future money, trying to secure the bag for one gig that occurred 4 years ago. Not a good bet at all. She shouldn’t listened to her manager.
Who cares? She had bills like we all do. If you were offered 700,000 to perform at a Trump event you would stay at home? Be truthful. 1 person offered to pay her not to perform. 1 person. All these ppl dragging her did not offer to help her, but were quick to criticize her decision. That doesn't make sense. You gotta eat, and noone else will feed you but yourself.
Still don’t understand why POC are delighting in her demise? I’m no fan of hers but her point makes sense. She wanted to heal the nation as an artist. What’s so difficult to understand?
I know this is old but everybody didn't go after Travis Greene like they did her. I know his wife who is a friend of mine since childhood we grew up together and that same question was given as well. JS despite everything else they both performed at the inauguration but she took the most heat.
I think she needs to double down on this one. I don't understand why ppl forgave Kanye West and Steve Harvey but are giving her such a hard time, but at this point she needs to stop talking about it and try her best to move on.
Because they know Kanye is crazy and Steve is greedy. We hold black women to a higher and hypocritical standard and expect them to know and do better. This was not the platform for her to convey her message.
She did what she felt was in her heart was the right thing for her to do, but the BC obviously didn’t view her action to sing at Trump’s inaugural in the way she did. The BC are typically a united community in certain respects and when someone chooses to go against their collective wishes, there is usually consequences. Cancel culture is one of those consequences that are obviously very effective. I support independent thinkers with good intentions but it’s their decision to do what they do and the consequences are theirs to bear. Sad but true.❤
Call me gullible but I believe her intent was good and she is sincerely sorry that she offended her fans! I mean we've all fucked up and at some point needed redemption.
So Spike Lee you decided to protest our sister Chrisett Michele because she preformed the Whitehouse under Donald Trump administration ? Dude this is still our sister and it is our responsibility to continue to build our sisters up at all time. Roland you verbally attached that sister on live television when you could just pulled a one on one and offered guidance instead of building your radings. I have much respect for Spike and Roland however I totally disagree with you turning your back on our sister when her goal was to try and bridge love in a divided American. God bless you Chrisett
Its not making sense. Its an opportunity to make money, and she definitely got more exposure. She didn’t have to go sing for Trump to uplift the black community. She could have sung anywhere else to uplift.
+Carolina Kid I partly agree. It IS damage control, yes... but if you listen closely, she didn't really apologize, so I disagree that she knew she was wrong. She thinks the black community is wrong.
@@Bethanyhandler because her income comes DIRECTLY from the folks that were offended by her actions. It would be asinine NOT TO consider the population that you need to even stay relevant. Trump’s people don’t buy her music! Period.
You did your thing. Either way black folks would have complained. No president has done anything pacifically for black people. And Half the black folks going against you in these comments probably didn't vote either. But will be the first to say f you or call you a b. No love loss. Love your music. Thank you for sharing your talent with me. Your voice changed my life during some hard times and I appreciate your gift.
Sarah Howard There was a lot of black ppl voting. She is a celebrity around black entertainer. She should have known this would cost her. She know now. Especially when her peer offer to pay her not to perform.
Sarah Howard .. I beg to differ on that you said that if she would have made another decision we would have complained..no .. for Barack & Michelle or anyone black we wouldn't have complained but Trump of all people we know he don't like black people we know he don't like Asians he don't like Mexicans I mean come on now I think she should have turned that one down I'm sorry but she done it it's over with life goes on God bless her
I just hope she has other means of income because people are very upset with her. Unfortunately, being a celebrity, alot of your income comes from fans. I hope she's able to bounce back.
Keep your head up Chrisette.. You did nothing wrong. A positive, Awesome song, I love it and heard Travis sing that song live at Bishop Jakes Pastors and Leaders Conference few yrs ago. Very inspirational song. God is iNTENTIONAL. He did not fail you, your so called people did. You are a strong Black Woman. Dont worry about haters and nay sayers. AND don't let niggas that aint got 1% of the talent you have tear you down anymore. There is no need to apologize to stupid ass people. Focus on the crowd that supports your peace of mind. Black folk always tear each other down following the leader and shit.
Look I'm a black man and I think it was a foolish move on her part (these white fans tell the football players that take a knee we pay you to perform so stop that kneeling and perform) well these white fans aren't the ones buying this lady's music the blacks are so that's just the way life is it was a stupid move on her part now Donald Trump is no where around to help get her fans back all I'm going to say about her is MAN SHE'S BEAUTIFUL lol oh my gosh black women are sooooooooo beautiful I know that's way off the subject but look how beautiful she is
oh plz!!!!!!!!!!! are ppl seriousllllllllllllyyyyyyyy that upset about this? it's honestly not that serious. ppl are acting like she singlehandedly put trump in office. she's not singing to him and performing a sweet love song. the song she sang had a great message. i'm glad she brought God to this event. if i watched the inaugural ball, i would've enjoyed this performance. reminds me that God never fails. if anything it showed me that black people, despite trump being elected, will be okay and him being the president isn't going to kick us down. i'm mean cmon the lyrics in the song say 'you Don't have to worry' . ya'll need to STOP.
I'm sorry to hear that she's suffering because of poor choices. Wish her the best and a great comeback. I still support her. We need to pick each other up, even when we're wrong!
I agree with you to a certain extent we need to continue to uplift one another first off but up on reading further until what had happened she was informed by Steve Harvey and several other celebrities told her not to do it she was looking to better herself with a different platform not every platform is stable you will have thought that she would have used a better judgment knowing the type of people supporting Trump it may have been that she was motivated by the money the fortune and fame but that is something she's going to have to live with the decision that she made every action have the reaction and no matter what we do in life whether it's good or bad we are going to have to suffer the consequences of their actions
Sks wasn't just wrong or misguided, she made that choice to get paid, despite what everyone else warned her against. I'm all for lifting each other up, but she needs to be honest.
I will support Chrisette because she is my sister, she explained her actions, I can't call myself a Christian if I can't forgive, and we are all human. Many glass houses on the internet. Chrisette, Continue to sing your songs of love. You are still my sister. 😘✊
In my opinion it's deeper than that...she is ripping what she sowed. However, I believe she will think twice before doing something like that again given the opportunity. She has received help for her depression so on and so on...that's all the matters in the end.
I have no problem with her singing for Trump. This is not important news, matter of fact, not news at all. Why do we care who sings what, where and for who.
Chrisette can perform and vote for whomever she pleases. She doesn't answer to Black Americans. I wish I would answer to some Cocolos as to why I vote for a particular party.
Kevin Taylor, yes she can vote and perform wherever and however she wishes, but it's probably not a good idea to do so when your livelihood depends on the very people that you are offending. She got dropped by her label, her album sales are low, her concerts were being canceled, radio stations refuse to play her music, she was suicidal. But hey, she did what she wanted to do. 🤷♀️
The label drops you i mean what the heck did she do! The world we live in is not free! And it is sad that our own people turn their backs on you. She is still and African american woman
But you know what's hypocritical about all this, black people supported a candidate who said that our young children, even at six months old, are super predators and they should be brought to heal, yet they ran to the polls to vote for her. Black people campaigned for and ran to the polls for Hillary Clinton when she had nothing but contempt for black people during her own campaign, except when she was on camera. But as far as appealing to us, Clinton NEVER tried to appeal to us. She had a chance to speak to Black Lives Matter, and when she got tired of talking to them after a few minutes and the BLM speaker asked her to try to understand our perspective, she said, well maybe I should go back and talk to white people. And then on the campaign trail, for Bill Clinton to say that he privatized prisons and that his stand on crime was because we were killing each other in our neighborhood, which his response was so racist, we chose to overlook that. When the Clinton policies damaged the lives of so many people of color, and then for Bill Clinton, during Obama's administration, tell Paul Ryan to give him a call so he could tell him how to get that bill through the Congress which would hurt our communities, we STILL VOTED FOR CLINTON. I'm not turning on Chrisette for making her money, especially while so many of us keep voting for these people who don't care about us! We can be so hypocritical!!! We'll condemn our own for making mistakes, but we keep propping us these white people who hurt us every day!!!
Deborah jjo All of that to say What? Trump was the better choice? Please stop. Put your energy into fighting his tax reform bill. How's that working for you?
YT4Me57. Not sure how you arrived at that fallacious conclusion. Do you know me? Because you made a lot of conclusions based on nothing I said. Be clear, I'm very specific in my opinion and leave nothing to the imagination. But since forgiving Chrisette makes you wonder about my party or political affiliation, just ask and I'll tell you. And if you want to know what I do when not working ask. Stop assuming because you know what they say about one who assumes!
Deborah jjo lmao! Mad?? Nah..but you are ☺ Fuck a trumptard and anyone who performs for him or stands up for the crying regretfull dumbass. Dance girl dance ...sing for massa. Idiots.
She didn't vote for Trump just singing. She wasn't singing a mainstream song, she was singing a gospel in order to heal the world. Some people in the black community are champions of exaggerating.
Don't even care to hear the rest. Anybody still holding a grudge on this lady, get over it. At least we know what she did. Perform. Harvey, Kanye and many others personally met with trump and what did black Hollywood do. #forget. Exactly. Everyone barks together....
Someone said it best. I bet the people who are condemning Chrisette for singing at the inauguration are the same people who either don't support Colin Kaepernick or speak ill of him while watching football. How many of you stopped supporting the NFL? I stopped and I stand in solidarity with Colin!
We have become what hate. As a black community we are reaping what we've sown.... hate, unforgiveness, bitterness, etc. When a person acknowledges how they didn't mean to hurt you and people still want her to suffer that says more about the people than the person. Stop telling people you love them and when they make a mistake "in your eyes" you throw her in the trash. SMH. And we wonder why many in the world hate us. You reap what you sow. She actually made a decision that God was pleased with because her heart was in the right place. It's almost impossible to please an ungrateful person or community. She also did right because she refused to let her fan base hold her hostage to what they wanted.
Ken Riddick So why do she look like she lost her best friend. You know your fans can make you or break up. Especially when you entertain for a living. Shit trump ppl not buying your CD black folks is.
Ken, you sound real ignorant with your comment about the world hating black folk...has nothing to do with Chrisette performing for Trump. Your comment is all over the place...makes no sense...your logic is irrational and misplaced I forgive Chrisete I love her singing your comment is CANCELLED. YOU ARE SALTY AND UNINFORMED...YOU ARE SLEEP..YOU EXIST IN DARKNESS
It really amazes me how us black folks can act just like the racist white folks towards one another when we don't agree with that persons stance, views, or reasons. Dam shame that we act just like the ones we claim are racist. This woman doesn't owe me, you, or anyone else an explanation for why she sung at the inauguration
I say this all the time when reading posts by my black ppl. Where have we gotten to where we be so evil and show hatred for others. I'm ashamed becos we're crying abt injustices done to us but we can also be so mean when dishing it out to others. Just sad.
Fame and fortune will "trump" common sense and loyalty every time - she gets what she deserves - bottom line. Now honey you can go and perform for the troops -
It's amazing how people want her to grovel and ask for forgiveness as if they don't make decisions that others disagree with and remain prideful about those decisions. She apologized and no matter whether you believe it's sincere or not...chances are you won't be satisfied; so if you are a fan, great...if you are not a fan, great. Geesh!!!!
They are the people who buy her records go to her concerts and support her if they told her ass to jump if she wanted their money she should say "how high" they told her not to perform and she told her fans fuck off so her fans did so and here we are
You are the reason I dislike the internet. You can comment, but others can't? Keep it moving so called Global Daily Media. There is nothing global about you....more like low-ble.
Is that what happens when your boss tells you to do that? I have never bought her records, so I could care less and commented. Basically she is damned if she does or doesn't. If she lost others as fans, cool and those who stayed, cool. Either way she can't go back. Meh!!! It's not that deep.
I believer her. When put the way shes saying i agree. That was her way of bringing peace. She shouldnt have to apologize. Yall telling her she should be a follower and back out run away...nooooo stand strong in what you believe personally. Ppl alwaysbhave something to say. And yoi have to go agaisnt the grain to get the best results. I back her.
All of you that told her to essentially "Not go to work!" many stating it from their own place of work, should have pooled together to pay for her Leave.... called "Paid Leave" Keep working young beautiful lady!!!
It was simply a cash grab. She probably made $150,000 - $250,000 for the performance. She maybe even made $500,000 because no one else would do it... Wasn't worth it.
+Melanie Wood If you call throwing money in the trash smart, then so be it. That's some high school shit - I disagree with your opinion so I'm going to throw everything away I spent my own money on. How old are you, nine?
And you are apart of the problem encouraging me to commit suicide and even if i did they have your comment screenshot for harassment and be charged with a federal crime of cyber bullying. You the one is talking to me. So why should i care? Get a life. You're the reason why blacks will always stay behind dead last in the race... Thats if you're black? Or proud to be black? Lol ain't nobody thinking about you nor your irrelevant comment. Quit ass kissing and face facts. I don't even listen to Chrisette Michelle anyway. Maybe that's right up your alley sweetheart. Lol
@Mark Brown Thank you. I was about to go on and on and on about the industry itself and what it does behind-the-scenes to people , all the politicians who never done a damn thing what they preached about to help us accelerate or move forward anywhere but as it always stands God is in control. Enough said.
Sherri Solomon It doesn't seem like it. He's got a new show with more Black people in the audience than before and lots of Black stars coming on his show so they obviously support him. I guess he's forgiven now.
We should be critical but not cruel. The backlash she got speaks more about them and society than her decision. She didn't vote for or supported Trump. I would like to know where is the backlash for those Bernie-or-Bust and non-voters?
Sugar Bear Idk about that. She was obviously bought. And if that is all it took, she can do more damage. She separated herself from the black community and that is a problem that we continue to have so now we are united against her. That in itself is good
I don't think she was, even if that were so they level of cruelty visited upon her...smh. She got more hate than killers, drug dealers and robbers with in our community.
I listened to what she said and what she was going to do....plus she has no power, and she not even a big star within the industry, soooo again I don't see why she got SO much outrage. I think she is just an easy excuse for too many to get out some frustration for not participating more in the electoral politics.
I still root for Chrisette. Half of these ridicule crucifiers in this message thread would have taken the bag. She did it, it's done. What has this done to improve or cripple the black community?? Nothing!
Soul Experience Look what happen to Amorosa. She's in tear too. Couldn't tell her shit ever. They has to dragg her ass out of the W/H. Talking about everyone will bow down to trump. He fix her ass right quick. lol
Such a stupid interview. I wouldn’t apologize. WE do not all have to think the same. She’s a performer; this was her job, and she did her job. Everyone has a right to do what’s best for them. My belief in Christ offends a lot of people, so what. Everyone has a right to believe as they will. Who is Roland to tell her what her “base” is. She owes no one an apology. We are only accepted when we agree with the masses? Ridiculous...
... yet most of us are gonna get up in the morning, and work for a racist so we can get paid. Kudos to those who work for themselves and that's a goal, however in this moment, a lot of us get paid for working for racist companies. IJS.
And Kanye still remains uncanceled
Okay!
Ice Cube, too. And he would've done the most damage, had Black women not had their own minds during the election.

Trust me, if this feat had happened under Obama, blacks would have hailed him as king (some did that anyway). Even though by most metrics he was worse for blacks than Clinton. Obama was more for gays and illegals than he was for blacks.
On another note I love her hair!
GIRL BYE....YOU CANCELLED
cynthia miller CANCELLED LIKE A MUHFUKKA!
cynthia miller ...right.
cynthia miller
Right!!!! Don't NOBODY feel sorry for her ass!!!
She's not you never even bought her music!
Full of hate
Still Loving Chrisette Michelle. Her heart is in a good place.
@TEddy, I hope you get your mind straight.
@@musicfan5520 it is.
@@TEddy-yz9bo you support Racist Conmen for President? or just approve performing for those Racist Conmen?
I support positivity and love in a situation where it seems to be waning.

@@TEddy-yz9bo Any reason you did not answer my questions above and totally dodged it? that's what tramp supporters do.
I want to give this lady a hug.
Love Crisette Michelle.
Keep making beautiful music
She told the truth OPPORTUNITY
I came here to say, I loved seeing her singing at the inauguration. I didn’t know she didn’t vote for Trump, I assumed she did. However, that will never change my feelings towards her. I love and support her always. Let people vote how they want. We do not all think the same just because the color of our skin. Period.
Folks were super quick to cancel her, yet still support Kanye who's much worse. 🤦♂️
we know kanyes crazy so when he pulls these stunts its nothing out of the ordinary
Thanks for being brave and being you. Don't live your life to please others.
Democrats do not own us.
Work is work.
We need no validation.
I love you more for standing up and performing despite the haters.
LIVE YOURS AND TAKE YOUR JOURNEY.
Like we as a people make prudent decisions in life. Love u queen.
This is a foolish statement. It would make sense if she weren’t an artist. She cut off a whole LOT of future money, trying to secure the bag for one gig that occurred 4 years ago. Not a good bet at all. She shouldn’t listened to her manager.
💙💙 biden won
I get her mind set: just not a good decision, which she now realizes.... Everyone makes mistakes!!!
We love you Chrissy
I wish she didn’t apologize for this, if she had owned it and and said to hell with it it would’ve turned out differently
Who cares? She had bills like we all do. If you were offered 700,000 to perform at a Trump event you would stay at home? Be truthful. 1 person offered to pay her not to perform. 1 person. All these ppl dragging her did not offer to help her, but were quick to criticize her decision. That doesn't make sense. You gotta eat, and noone else will feed you but yourself.
She could have performed ANYWHERE ELSE. She chose a Nazi rally.
Still don’t understand why POC are delighting in her demise? I’m no fan of hers but her point makes sense. She wanted to heal the nation as an artist. What’s so difficult to understand?
I know this is old but everybody didn't go after Travis Greene like they did her. I know his wife who is a friend of mine since childhood we grew up together and that same question was given as well. JS despite everything else they both performed at the inauguration but she took the most heat.
Did Travis get this type of backlash? Just wondering...
Clearly that was an ill-fated business decision and she shouldn't be justifying it with logical fallacies.
I think she needs to double down on this one. I don't understand why ppl forgave Kanye West and Steve Harvey but are giving her such a hard time, but at this point she needs to stop talking about it and try her best to move on.
Because they know Kanye is crazy and Steve is greedy. We hold black women to a higher and hypocritical standard and expect them to know and do better. This was not the platform for her to convey her message.
Because Kanye West is mentally ill and has always been mentally ill.
She did what she felt was in her heart was the right thing for her to do, but the BC obviously didn’t view her action to sing at Trump’s inaugural in the way she did. The BC are typically a united community in certain respects and when someone chooses to go against their collective wishes, there is usually consequences. Cancel culture is one of those consequences that are obviously very effective. I support independent thinkers with good intentions but it’s their decision to do what they do and the consequences are theirs to bear. Sad but true.❤
Call me gullible but I believe her intent was good and she is sincerely sorry that she offended her fans! I mean we've all fucked up and at some point needed redemption.
So Spike Lee you decided to protest our sister Chrisett Michele because she preformed the Whitehouse under Donald Trump administration ? Dude this is still our sister and it is our responsibility to continue to build our sisters up at all time. Roland you verbally attached that sister on live television when you could just pulled a one on one and offered guidance instead of building your radings. I have much respect for Spike and Roland however I totally disagree with you turning your back on our sister when her goal was to try and bridge love in a divided American.
God bless you Chrisett
Its not making sense. Its an opportunity to make money, and she definitely got more exposure. She didn’t have to go sing for Trump to uplift the black community. She could have sung anywhere else to uplift.
I pray for your healing recovery and ascension were God wants you to be.
This is damage control she knew she was wrong she just thought she could get away from it period
+Carolina Kid I partly agree. It IS damage control, yes... but if you listen closely, she didn't really apologize, so I disagree that she knew she was wrong. She thinks the black community is wrong.
Why should she apologize for performing for Trump??? People are so damn stupid. It’s her job!
@@Bethanyhandler because her income comes DIRECTLY from the folks that were offended by her actions. It would be asinine NOT TO consider the population that you need to even stay relevant. Trump’s people don’t buy her music! Period.
You did your thing. Either way black folks would have complained. No president has done anything pacifically for black people. And Half the black folks going against you in these comments probably didn't vote either. But will be the first to say f you or call you a b. No love loss. Love your music. Thank you for sharing your talent with me. Your voice changed my life during some hard times and I appreciate your gift.
Sarah Howard being a celebrity you have to satisfy the world. Poor thing. I pray she's able to continue to make money.
Sarah Howard Pacifically? Ignorance runs deep with you Trumpsters...
PACIFICALLY? 😱😂😂😂😂
Sarah Howard There was a lot of black ppl voting. She is a celebrity around black entertainer. She should have known this would cost her. She know now. Especially when her peer offer to pay her not to perform.
Sarah Howard .. I beg to differ on that you said that if she would have made another decision we would have complained..no .. for Barack & Michelle or anyone black we wouldn't have complained but Trump of all people we know he don't like black people we know he don't like Asians he don't like Mexicans I mean come on now I think she should have turned that one down I'm sorry but she done it it's over with life goes on God bless her
IDK, call me crazy but I feel sorry for her. She had enough. 4Give the chick
I agree she did nothing wrong .
Me too
Performing at a Nazi rally is wrong.
I just hope she has other means of income because people are very upset with her. Unfortunately, being a celebrity, alot of your income comes from fans. I hope she's able to bounce back.
I get what is she saying . I still love her music .
And I always will doesn't take away fm her talent
Keep your head up Chrisette.. You did nothing wrong. A positive, Awesome song, I love it and heard Travis sing that song live at Bishop Jakes Pastors and Leaders Conference few yrs ago. Very inspirational song. God is iNTENTIONAL. He did not fail you, your so called people did. You are a strong Black Woman. Dont worry about haters and nay sayers. AND don't let niggas that aint got 1% of the talent you have tear you down anymore. There is no need to apologize to stupid ass people. Focus on the crowd that supports your peace of mind. Black folk always tear each other down following the leader and shit.
Oh shut trump supporter you are really brainwashed.
#youaintblack
She was doing her job why go after an artist its not her fault that Trump is president. Look at the bigger picture.
Look I'm a black man and I think it was a foolish move on her part (these white fans tell the football players that take a knee we pay you to perform so stop that kneeling and perform) well these white fans aren't the ones buying this lady's music the blacks are so that's just the way life is it was a stupid move on her part now Donald Trump is no where around to help get her fans back all I'm going to say about her is MAN SHE'S BEAUTIFUL lol oh my gosh black women are sooooooooo beautiful I know that's way off the subject but look how beautiful she is
Make your Money. It's business regardless. I saw you perform it was amazing.
oh plz!!!!!!!!!!! are ppl seriousllllllllllllyyyyyyyy that upset about this? it's honestly not that serious. ppl are acting like she singlehandedly put trump in office. she's not singing to him and performing a sweet love song. the song she sang had a great message. i'm glad she brought God to this event. if i watched the inaugural ball, i would've enjoyed this performance. reminds me that God never fails. if anything it showed me that black people, despite trump being elected, will be okay and him being the president isn't going to kick us down. i'm mean cmon the lyrics in the song say 'you Don't have to worry' . ya'll need to STOP.
Time heals beautiful.
I'm sorry to hear that she's suffering because of poor choices. Wish her the best and a great comeback. I still support her. We need to pick each other up, even when we're wrong!
I agree with you to a certain extent we need to continue to uplift one another first off but up on reading further until what had happened she was informed by Steve Harvey and several other celebrities told her not to do it she was looking to better herself with a different platform not every platform is stable you will have thought that she would have used a better judgment knowing the type of people supporting Trump it may have been that she was motivated by the money the fortune and fame but that is something she's going to have to live with the decision that she made every action have the reaction and no matter what we do in life whether it's good or bad we are going to have to suffer the consequences of their actions
Agree!
Fatima Fatima. So, stupid.
Deborah jjo nope, matter of fact HELL NOPE, FUCK YOU CHRISETTE MICHELLE, I'M ONLY BUYING BOOTLEGS OF YOUR ALBUMS FROM NOW ON
Sks wasn't just wrong or misguided, she made that choice to get paid, despite what everyone else warned her against. I'm all for lifting each other up, but she needs to be honest.
I will support Chrisette because she is my sister, she explained her actions, I can't call myself a Christian if I can't forgive, and we are all human. Many glass houses on the internet.
Chrisette,
Continue to sing your songs of love. You are still my sister. 😘✊
People shouldn’t be mad at her all she did was sing a song
In my opinion it's deeper than that...she is ripping what she sowed. However, I believe she will think twice before doing something like that again given the opportunity. She has received help for her depression so on and so on...that's all the matters in the end.
At a Nazi rally.
I have no problem with her singing for Trump. This is not important news, matter of fact, not news at all. Why do we care who sings what, where and for who.
The message of the song fell on death ears because most people have No reverence for God and fear Trump.
I feel bad for sis , I really do.
Chrisette can perform and vote for whomever she pleases. She doesn't answer to Black Americans.
I wish I would answer to some Cocolos as to why I vote for a particular party.
Kevin Taylor, yes she can vote and perform wherever and however she wishes, but it's probably not a good idea to do so when your livelihood depends on the very people that you are offending.
She got dropped by her label, her album sales are low, her concerts were being canceled, radio stations refuse to play her music, she was suicidal. But hey, she did what she wanted to do. 🤷♀️
You sold out for a couple of dollars, all money not good 💰.
The label drops you i mean what the heck did she do! The world we live in is not free! And it is sad that our own people turn their backs on you. She is still and African american woman
But you know what's hypocritical about all this, black people supported a candidate who said that our young children, even at six months old, are super predators and they should be brought to heal, yet they ran to the polls to vote for her. Black people campaigned for and ran to the polls for Hillary Clinton when she had nothing but contempt for black people during her own campaign, except when she was on camera. But as far as appealing to us, Clinton NEVER tried to appeal to us. She had a chance to speak to Black Lives Matter, and when she got tired of talking to them after a few minutes and the BLM speaker asked her to try to understand our perspective, she said, well maybe I should go back and talk to white people. And then on the campaign trail, for Bill Clinton to say that he privatized prisons and that his stand on crime was because we were killing each other in our neighborhood, which his response was so racist, we chose to overlook that. When the Clinton policies damaged the lives of so many people of color, and then for Bill Clinton, during Obama's administration, tell Paul Ryan to give him a call so he could tell him how to get that bill through the Congress which would hurt our communities, we STILL VOTED FOR CLINTON. I'm not turning on Chrisette for making her money, especially while so many of us keep voting for these people who don't care about us! We can be so hypocritical!!! We'll condemn our own for making mistakes, but we keep propping us these white people who hurt us every day!!!
Deborah jjo All of that to say What? Trump was the better choice? Please stop. Put your energy into fighting his tax reform bill. How's that working for you?
YT4Me57. Not sure how you arrived at that fallacious conclusion. Do you know me? Because you made a lot of conclusions based on nothing I said. Be clear, I'm very specific in my opinion and leave nothing to the imagination. But since forgiving Chrisette makes you wonder about my party or political affiliation, just ask and I'll tell you. And if you want to know what I do when not working ask. Stop assuming because you know what they say about one who assumes!
Deborah jjo I don't know you but all you said is bullshit. You'll perform for trumptard for the right price seems like it.
Austin Texas. You sound mad because you didn't. I'm sure you're part of the reason he's in office.
Deborah jjo lmao! Mad?? Nah..but you are ☺ Fuck a trumptard and anyone who performs for him or stands up for the crying regretfull dumbass. Dance girl dance ...sing for massa. Idiots.
She didn't vote for Trump just singing. She wasn't singing a mainstream song, she was singing a gospel in order to heal the world. Some people in the black community are champions of exaggerating.
Don't even care to hear the rest. Anybody still holding a grudge on this lady, get over it. At least we know what she did. Perform. Harvey, Kanye and many others personally met with trump and what did black Hollywood do. #forget. Exactly. Everyone barks together....
We love you sis. That one tweet don’t rep us all.
When the old folks tell you all money ain't good money and performing for certain people, places, and things aren't either LISTEN!!!.
Someone said it best. I bet the people who are condemning Chrisette for singing at the inauguration are the same people who either don't support Colin Kaepernick or speak ill of him while watching football. How many of you stopped supporting the NFL? I stopped and I stand in solidarity with Colin!
I'm STILL a Chrisette fan 😋
Ya'll let this girl be.No matter what you do in this life,you will be blamed.Even if you bring a cure to cancer and Aids.
We have become what hate. As a black community we are reaping what we've sown.... hate, unforgiveness, bitterness, etc. When a person acknowledges how they didn't mean to hurt you and people still want her to suffer that says more about the people than the person. Stop telling people you love them and when they make a mistake "in your eyes" you throw her in the trash. SMH. And we wonder why many in the world hate us. You reap what you sow. She actually made a decision that God was pleased with because her heart was in the right place. It's almost impossible to please an ungrateful person or community. She also did right because she refused to let her fan base hold her hostage to what they wanted.
Ken Riddick So why do she look like she lost her best friend. You know your fans can make you or break up. Especially when you entertain for a living. Shit trump ppl not buying your CD black folks is.
Ken, you sound real ignorant with your comment about the world hating black folk...has nothing to do with Chrisette performing for Trump. Your comment is all over the place...makes no sense...your logic is irrational and misplaced I forgive Chrisete I love her singing your comment is CANCELLED. YOU ARE SALTY AND UNINFORMED...YOU ARE SLEEP..YOU EXIST IN DARKNESS
Leave her alone!
It really amazes me how us black folks can act just like the racist white folks towards one another when we don't agree with that persons stance, views, or reasons. Dam shame that we act just like the ones we claim are racist. This woman doesn't owe me, you, or anyone else an explanation for why she sung at the inauguration
They dont support her music
Its their prerogative to not support this woman just like it was her choice to sing for the Clown in Chief. Can not have it both ways.
My sentiments exactly
Y'all are worse than the white racist the way that y'all treat her. Fuck y'all hating asses. Forgive that sister and move on. Y'all ain't right.
I say this all the time when reading posts by my black ppl. Where have we gotten to where we be so evil and show hatred for others. I'm ashamed becos we're crying abt injustices done to us but we can also be so mean when dishing it out to others. Just sad.
I don't have a problem with it. I am sorry for her.
Fame and fortune will "trump" common sense and loyalty every time - she gets what she deserves - bottom line. Now honey you can go and perform for the troops -
I wish he would’ve grilled Hillary Clinton like he’s grilling this woman. Instead he danced with her. Smh
It's amazing how people want her to grovel and ask for forgiveness as if they don't make decisions that others disagree with and remain prideful about those decisions. She apologized and no matter whether you believe it's sincere or not...chances are you won't be satisfied; so if you are a fan, great...if you are not a fan, great. Geesh!!!!
Deborah S shut your trap .
They are the people who buy her records go to her concerts and support her if they told her ass to jump if she wanted their money she should say "how high" they told her not to perform and she told her fans fuck off so her fans did so and here we are
You are the reason I dislike the internet. You can comment, but others can't? Keep it moving so called Global Daily Media. There is nothing global about you....more like low-ble.
Is that what happens when your boss tells you to do that? I have never bought her records, so I could care less and commented. Basically she is damned if she does or doesn't. If she lost others as fans, cool and those who stayed, cool. Either way she can't go back. Meh!!! It's not that deep.
Deborah S lol there is so many people that work here you would find it hard to find me.. You now show your face :) ..so keep up the insults
I believer her. When put the way shes saying i agree. That was her way of bringing peace. She shouldnt have to apologize. Yall telling her she should be a follower and back out run away...nooooo stand strong in what you believe personally. Ppl alwaysbhave something to say. And yoi have to go agaisnt the grain to get the best results. I back her.
I think she meant well and that she tried and in the right thing. I wonder how much she thinks about it now that Trump is out of office 🤔🤔🤔
All of you that told her to essentially "Not go to work!" many stating it from their own place of work, should have pooled together to pay for her Leave.... called "Paid Leave"
Keep working young beautiful lady!!!
She could have performed ANYWHERE ELSE for a paycheck. She chose a Nazi rally.
It was simply a cash grab. She probably made $150,000 - $250,000 for the performance. She maybe even made $500,000 because no one else would do it... Wasn't worth it.
Trans 8 It was a bad investment.She's going to lose way more in the coming months.
Trans 8
Hell YES
Trans 8 now she’s going broke
Trans 8 That's exactly what it is and she needs to stop lying. She is disgusting
Chrisette do you fuck what these people say...they don't pay your bills
She could have performed ANYWHERE ELSE for a paycheck.. She chose a Nazi rally.
I still lover her,just don't agree with the decision. She'll grow from this and be better.
She's so sweet,
but being a celebrity is fickle.
This had nothing to do with healing. but everything to do with getting that check. i trashed all her cds i bought!
+Eric Davis Well that was dumb.
No It wasn't dumb.
+Melanie Wood If you call throwing money in the trash smart, then so be it. That's some high school shit - I disagree with your opinion so I'm going to throw everything away I spent my own money on. How old are you, nine?
And you are apart of the problem encouraging me to commit suicide and even if i did they have your comment screenshot for harassment and be charged with a federal crime of cyber bullying. You the one is talking to me. So why should i care? Get a life. You're the reason why blacks will always stay behind dead last in the race... Thats if you're black? Or proud to be black? Lol ain't nobody thinking about you nor your irrelevant comment. Quit ass kissing and face facts. I don't even listen to Chrisette Michelle anyway. Maybe that's right up your alley sweetheart. Lol
So not today Satan!!! not today!!! don't kill my vibe.
Girl get ya money, lolol!
judge not less you be judged.
@Mark Brown Thank you. I was about to go on and on and on about the industry itself and what it does behind-the-scenes to people , all the politicians who never done a damn thing what they preached about to help us accelerate or move forward anywhere but as it always stands God is in control. Enough said.
I support her and understand he reasons for doing it. Very courageous of her to sing at the ball.
She could have performed ANYWHERE ELSE for a paycheck. She chose a Nazi rally.
As of right now, im your new manager. i have a cant-miss-gig, you'll sing for roy moore's losing campaign.
Why we forgive Steve Harvey? Black people still support him & his show.
Steve Harvey is in the dog house as well esp by Black women.
Crystal Clark Who????
Sherri Solomon It doesn't seem like it. He's got a new show with more Black people in the audience than before and lots of Black stars coming on his show so they obviously support him. I guess he's forgiven now.
Crystal Clark Probably paid audience.
We should be critical but not cruel. The backlash she got speaks more about them and society than her decision. She didn't vote for or supported Trump. I would like to know where is the backlash for those Bernie-or-Bust and non-voters?
Sugar Bear This isn’t about Bernie’s voter!! It’s about this sell out!
so performing at Trump's inauguration is NOT supporting Trump? huh?
Sugar Bear Idk about that. She was obviously bought. And if that is all it took, she can do more damage. She separated herself from the black community and that is a problem that we continue to have so now we are united against her. That in itself is good
I don't think she was, even if that were so they level of cruelty visited upon her...smh. She got more hate than killers, drug dealers and robbers with in our community.
I listened to what she said and what she was going to do....plus she has no power, and she not even a big star within the industry, soooo again I don't see why she got SO much outrage. I think she is just an easy excuse for too many to get out some frustration for not participating more in the electoral politics.
And years later she was right
She is a great singer, she made a bad decision we all do things that we did not like she is still ours and we need to stand behind this Queen
I still root for Chrisette. Half of these ridicule crucifiers in this message thread would have taken the bag. She did it, it's done. What has this done to improve or cripple the black community?? Nothing!
Soul Experience Look what happen to Amorosa. She's in tear too. Couldn't tell her shit ever. They has to dragg her ass out of the W/H. Talking about everyone will bow down to trump. He fix her ass right quick. lol
Patti Robinson - lmbo...touche'
Such a stupid interview. I wouldn’t apologize. WE do not all have to think the same. She’s a performer; this was her job, and she did her job. Everyone has a right to do what’s best for them. My belief in Christ offends a lot of people, so what. Everyone has a right to believe as they will. Who is Roland to tell her what her “base” is. She owes no one an apology. We are only accepted when we agree with the masses? Ridiculous...
Doris Kent exactly!!!!
... yet most of us are gonna get up in the morning, and work for a racist so we can get paid. Kudos to those who work for themselves and that's a goal, however in this moment, a lot of us get paid for working for racist companies. IJS.
