Kid Rock got shown up by fucking Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli. Who thefuck in the past 30 years has ever thought "I wanna hear Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli".
Jesusfuck, 250th year Anniversary of this country and this is the "talent" we have to show for it. Fucking Vanilla Ice and Milli Vanilli......
To be fair, we have plenty of talent from 250 years. It's just that most of them don't want to perform for Trump.
You know they were so butthurt about the Superbowl they threw their own party. Their party here is going to suck and we all k ow it, time for everyone else to throw their own 250th party
Has ANYONE actually heard Milli Vanilli?
their name is pretty much synonymous with the biggest lip-syncing scandal in pop culture history.
Unpopular opinion but as a collective artistic project I have no real issue with their music. And in fact, it's quite good. Yeah sure their presentation was dishonest but I'd argue no more than modern auto tuned artists.
I mean, tbf to Milli Vanilli, they dropped out. In fact, their response was something along the lines of "we never signed up for this shit"
Several artists said that they were never even asked.
Hasn't the group only been one guy since the other one died in 1998?
The denial of involvement was from vocalists Jodi and Linda Rocco
I hear what you did there
Isn't it just Milli now? I thought Vanilli offed himself. Or maybe it's the other way around. It would be disingenuous if one of them claimed to be a Milli or a Vanilli, when they aren't. Girl, you know it's true.
Milli Vanillus. It's Latin.
I think they got someone else to off themselves for them.
Girl you know girl you know girl you know…
Yeah in the press conference after being busted for lip-synching one of them (fab or rob or gab or throb or whatever, idk) sang to prove he could.
I mean, yeah, it was fine. Whatever. The quality of the vocals wasn’t my main problem with them.
I don't even know what this is. Does it come in any other flavors, or just vanilla?
Milli Vanilli?! One of them is dead, though....
~~I hadn't thought about it before now, but I'd take Ice over Rock any day.
Vanilla Ice was in TMNT...what else could you want?~~
Edit: Fuck Vanilla Ice too, per below.
Vanilla Ice is full blown MAGA and is letting the current admin use "Ice Ice Baby" as an I.C.E. theme song
Okay well I did not know that so fuck him too then.
The Ninja Turtles did not deserve this!
I'm not doubting it, I just want it clarified. Is he letting them, or are they just doing it? The Trump Adm. has used a lot of artists stuff without permission, and have even continued to use it after they told them to stop. Has he actually made a statement allowing it, and if not, has he made a statement asking them not to?
Well, he DID headline Trump's Mar-a-Lago NYE party, and now he's doing this America 250 thing, soooo...
Ooh bad move, yo.
TMNT would never do a trump event unless it was to kick their Nazi asses. Fuck vanilla. Is he going to do his hits from 35 years ago?
Wait, didn't that actually happen recently?
EDIT: Yep: https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-79-gets-his-dad-dance-on-with-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtle/
Boy, I can't wait for Paramount to sue hi-OH WAIT A FUCKING SECOND.
Paramount also owns UFC. Yanno, the thing that's going to happen on the freaking White House lawn.
Hit.
Ice Cube maybe.
public enemy?
Duh
well Milli Vanilli being a fraud is quite on point for anything this regime does
this article's a good read.
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/feb/01/milli-vanilli-fab-morvan-interview-grammy-book-you-know-its-true
Milli Vanilli are French and German
Shh! Grandpa doesn't know that!
makes sense they would be 'collaborating'
Seems quite fitting if you ask me.
I mean did he perform the ninja rap?
Vanilla Ice fronted a metal band of the same name for a while in the aughts, I saw them once and they were decent
Not all is bad. At least the Washington Monument has a new swimming pool!
