she killed it. As in ruined, desecrated, bastardized and shat all over.

That was a travesty. Were they afraid the crowd would sing along so they had to make it un-singable? I'm disgusted.

But

I'm sure the singer had complete artistic direction over her performance. :rolleyes:

I've seen some "stylized" performances of other national anthems, what's the big deal?

horrid, why not make it so everyone could sing along like at a nucks game and give the crowd a moment to sing a few verses

I realize she wouldn't have been pulling the strings but since I don't know who else to blame I'll pick her.

The big deal is that wasn't our national anthem. There are things you don't mess with and that is one of them imho.

At least the french part sounded more like the actual anthem than the english part.

exactly. I was hoping at that point they would continue it at the right speed, but no, back to english and back to fucking it up

That's the problem with cities, they're refuges for the weak, the fish that didn't evolve.

I don't want to google this - sounds like a thing that NSMB will be better at.

that's exactly what I said to my wife when I watched it.

Mark Donnelly would have been awesome and the crowd participation would have been heart stopping!
