Canadian National Anthem Eff up at the MLS ASG again.

[Boges]

Remember last year for the MLB Allstar game, one of the Canadian Tenors went rogue and changed the lyrics and sang about "All Lives Matter". Which is, of course, a racial lightning rod because it diminishes the relevance of Black Lives Matter. 

Well last night in Miami this happened.

Canadian singer-songwriter Jocelyn Alice had a very public flub at a very public baseball game Tuesday evening, catching not only the attention of baseball fans, but also of Toronto Blue Jays infielder Justin Smoak.

And for everyone but Alice, it was nothing to giggle about.

Alice was performing ‘O Canada’ in the opening ceremonies at the MLB All-Star Game at Marlins Park in Miami. The song started out smoothly, with both teams and all attendees at attention, until just after singing the words “God keep our land,” when the singer broke out in a brief, but very audible giggle.

 

Can't we get "good" recording artists at these Big Sporting Events?

 O Canada  and the Maple Leaf Forever should be official anthems and the Maple Leaf had a better tone and easier to sing.

It was a butchered rendering of Canada's national anthem even without the flakey giggling.  

When I heard her singing the anthem last night, I wondered if she was high on drugs.

Well they must be shown to be patriotic to Canada, and not to the far left liberals. They are liberal morons at their best.

It would have been nice had she taken the time in her tweet to apologize.  Considering her excruciating performance accompanied as it was with grotesque gyrations, I'm not all that surprised that she chose to ignore that little item and focus on herself.  Sad that.

[OftenWrong]

Oh the outrage

[Hal 9000]

It was very cringe worthy.

Just play a recording so we can stop being outraged whenever a human messes up.

Why bother having it at all?  I never experienced a national anthem at a sporting event until I came to North America.  Except for international events between countries.

I would just thank them for the effort. Let's not sweat the small stuff.
