Singer murders National Anthem at CPAC

Here’s someone playing that sheet music on organ. Stick around to 1:44.

I would have said the same thing if this awful singer was male. And of course there are plenty of fatcat GOP donors who are women.

Maybe she is using 432hz not those “bad frequencies”!

This is more about the GQP / CPAC organizers for being true to form and picking someone not competent for the job than about her performance.

It could also have been a last minute thought, an “Oh crap we forgot the singer! Who here can sing?!” situation.

Did you embed the right viddie? I only hear her wailing.

Maybe I’m organ deaf!

Tom Poston posted one above with an organ. Is that the one you meant?

I rechecked and there’s definitely organ!

Ah okay, I listened more closely, so low in the mix! I’ll have to try again later on better speakers. :+1:

I’d heard about the Fergie version but had never heard/seen it. That wasn’t so bad. I’m not a fan of what she does vocally but the arrangement is interesting and has some nice reharmonizations.

On the positive side, she didn’t forget the words and run off stage early.

She is under an “America Uncanceled” banner, so she will get a contract to sing at ALL conservative events, a multi-year recording deal, and a stadium tour.

Anything less is a violation of her freedom of speech.

It’s not misogynistic of us to recognize that the GOP hates women generally, and only values them for their ability to make babies and agree with men.

And, apparently, sing badly.

Meh - I don’t think it’s all that bad. She certainly sings better than I do. The forced patriotism of the anthem is an odd thing to try to add your own flair to anyways. Asshat Republicans have done enough stupid shit the last 4̶i̶s̶h̶ ̶y̶e̶a̶r̶s̶ in my lifetime and beyond that we’d be better served highlighting that rather than someone’s song rendition.

This is further evidence of the collapse of the GOP and trumpism. The singing of the National Anthem is a sacred ritual to America and is performed as a symbol of strength and unity. The fact that they got a performer that has nether celebrity nor talent, and was given near zero support ( a cappella was a doubly bad choice) shows their continued decent into disorganization and incompetence.
Donnie is truly out of his element :wink:

Yes. Maybe this is the x-dimensional chess thing, in which we all talk about someone struggling to sing a hard song rather than all the evil underfoot.

This seems a tad misogynistic, assuming she couldn’t have gotten the gig without the help of an older person/man.

You think she got it because of her looks? /s
It seems fair to assume she didn’t get the gig because of her experience and expertise in singing the national anthem, as much as I agree that that narrative is tired (if also reflective of the reality of the Republican party, which combines nepotism, incompetence, and a view of women as an (subordinate and hot-swappable) extension of the male self.)
