Donald Trump released a brand new list of celebrity performers for his inauguration today and the result is still . . . a little short.

The presidential inaugural committee has struggled to attract celebrities to perform at the event, or at least ones you don't have to Google to find out who they are. Even though Trump has attracted new names to perform, the number pales in comparison to the number of A-list celebrities who'll be protesting him.

On inauguration day, Americans everywhere can greet the leader of the free world by jamming out to 3 Doors Down, a handful of disgruntled Rockettes and Mormons and runner-up reality star Jackie Evancho.

Or they can go to the Women's March. Compare for yourself.

UPDATE: Jan. 14, 2017, 3:45 a.m. EST Jennifer Holliday has now backed out of performing at the inauguration after pressure from fans, including those in the LGBTQ community.
