Singer flubs O Canada

O Canada? Singer flubs anthem at Raptors-Nets game - CBC Sports - Basketball - NBA

It's times like these people need to know how to say "I'm sorry".

I actually went to her Twitter page last night, hoping the article was being unfair to her. Nope. She was having a Trumpesque Twitter melt down. She has now locked her Account.

There are 10 lines in O Canada. One of them is repeated 3 times, so that means learning 7 lines. And a professional couldn't manage that?

So, the prompter apparently didn't work and she adlibbed. OUR ANTHEM. And instead of apologizing she insults people for "sitting on their couches" watching the game. HELLO! People sit in seats and watch performances of Hamilton...so you just insulted your own fans.

I used to go to a lot of hockey games. Both the US and Canadian Anthems were performed (when playing a Canadian team)

I was proud of each. Every one respectful.
Hand over heart. Special moment. For both teams.

Sorry, your link to the flub didn't work for me AnnaMarie.

Forgetting lines for national anthems happens. It's happened to professionals and amateurs alike. This person should have apologized instead of going all 'diva' on everyone.

Did you ever get to see Kate Smith sing before a Flyers' game?

I learned it young, got it right all of the time, then they changed the words somewhere along the line, I still don't know it anymore. I think they're discussing another word change as well. Oh Canada!

It still goes to the article for me?? Not the actual singer singing though.

Exactly. You make a mistake, you apologize.

And when I first read the article I assumed the article was treating her unfairly. Maybe took a tweet out of context or something. But nope. It was a whole lot of making excuses and insulting others and not apologizing.

So I went back today, and she has locked her account.

She received an apology for the prompter not working.
