This is stated in a report by the New York Daily News.
The world famous singer Elton John, country musician Garth Brooks and even the glam metal band Motley Crue were offered to perform the anthem. The media also reported that it was on this occasion that Trump recently met with rapper and husband of TV star Kim Kardashian Kanye West, but today it became known that the White House had finally settled on the candidacy of Jackie Ivanko.
Note that Ivanko, who is Ukrainian on her father’s side, was born and raised in Pittsburgh (USA), began singing at the age of 8. Her parents, Mikhail and Lisa Ivanko, emigrated from Ukraine long before their daughter was born.
Ivanko has a high female singing voice - soprano.
In August 2010, the girl qualified for YouTube and performed on the TV show America's Got Talent. She sang “Time To Say Goodbye – Andrea Bocelli”, and her performance created a real sensation.
As a result, Jackie made it to the “Top 10” list, then “Top 4” and finally reached the finals, in which she took second place, losing to Michael Grimm.
