After saying she had been asked by Trump’s team to perform, Ferguson, the 2010 runner-up on the British TV singing competition “The X Factor,” said she would accept the invitation on one condition: Ferguson would like to sing “Strange Fruit,” which was originally recorded by legendary jazz singer Billie Holiday.

“I’ve been asked and this is my answer,” Ferguson wrote on Twitter. “If you allow me to sing ‘Strange Fruit,’ a song that has huge historical importance, a song that was blacklisted in the United States for being too controversial. A song that speaks to all the disregarded and down trodden black people in the United States. A song that is a reminder of how love is the only thing that will conquer all the hatred in this world, then I will graciously accept your invitation and see you in Washington.”
