The Top Ten
1 Jackie Evancho Jacqueline Marie "Jackie" Evancho is an American classical crossover singer who gained wide recognition at an early age. Since 2009, she has issued an EP and eight albums, including a platinum and gold album, and three Billboard 200 top 10 debuts.

Jackie would be the best there ever was. She would be such an inspiration to all the athletes and to the world hope this will happen for our princess of song

Her just-released single is "Rains Of Castamere", from "Game of Thrones".
Her version is haunting, ethereal, and absolutely unforgettable; a voice worthy of the Olympics!

She didn't get to perform in person there, but Jackie's song 'Nella Fantasia' from her 'Dream With Me' album was used by German figure skater Nicole Schott for her short program.

Her ethereal, crystal-clear, pitch-perfect voice would match the beauty of the season and the event.

2 Hatsune Miku Hatsune Miku, sometimes referred to as Miku Hatsune, is a humanoid persona voiced by a singing synthesizer application developed by Crypton Future Media.

I would really like to see Crypton Future Media or whoever's doing what pull of a short hologram concert featuring Hatsune Miku. If not, at least get a different VOCALOID to sing like DEX or UNI(I'd go for UNI since the 2018 winter games are taking place somewhere in Korea).

Hatsune Miku is the World Number one singer, no modern artist could Rival to her performance!

She sings more songs on YouTube than you can count

3 BTS (Bangtan Boys) BTS, also known as the Bangtan Boys, is a seven-member South Korean boy band formed in Seoul in 2013. RM is the leader and the other members are V, Jimin, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, and Jungkook

Winter Olympics will be held in South Korea, so there is a big chance that performers will be Koreans. Female artists will most likely to be SNSD since they are the most famous group (over 10 years since the debut). As for the male ones it will probably be Bangtan Boys because they are worldwide famous. BTS are winners of international awards such as Billboard Music Award and Teen Choice Award. They also have a lot of Korean music awards. That is why it would be the most appropriate if they perform at the Olympics.

BTS are korean boy group which is now gaining a lot of attention in USA and worldwide. They would drag a lot of attention to the ceremony.

I don’t know who ended up playing at the opening ceremony, but BTS is Korean, and is not only popular in South Korea but worldwide too. Jackie Evancho isn’t even Korean, and she really isn’t too popular (other than on this website).

9 Girls' Generation Girls’ Generation, also known as SNSD, was formed in South Korea, in 2007. The current members are Taeyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona, and Seohyun. Jessica left in 2014. They are known as the second best selling girl group of all time, Korea’s National Girl Group, and one of the best girl groups of all time.

Girls generation should perform at the Olympics. I'm not trying to be rude here, but the 2018 olympics are going to be held in South Korea, meaning the performers are going to be South Korean, not American. So I highly doubt American artists are going to perform. Again, not trying to be rude here.

Girl's Generation is absolutely so talented and beautiful.
I'm also a Miku fan, but I trust that Miku will win something so I am here to cheer on my dear SNSD.
They are, compared to Miku, the twins of Vocaloids. Not only in the looks of white skin and beautiful faces, but their dancing and singing is like angels.

This group is acceptable because the other singers that are on this list are not even South Korean...this is South Korea we are talking about that will host the 2018 winter olympics which will happen less than 500 days from today

Definitely yes besides Girl's generation! The other singers listed, 2018 winter olympics are going to be held in South Korea; therefore, other Korean artists and performers should be added to this list
