Musical Interlude - the Star Spangled Banner as sung at CPAC 2021

@jon-nyc I couldn’t make it through the first time. I just listened to the whole thing. WTF. How do you pick somebody that can’t stay on key for something big like this? I mean, many people get a case of nerves, pitch wavers slight, or goes a little off key on the high notes, or forgets words - but this was awful. What happened? Did she have some sort of earpiece that messed her up? I’m assuming they heard a clip of her singing before they asked her to do this?

I refuse to listen to this. Thanks for taking the bullet for me TNCR! lol

Already she inspired others, for example:

I have sometimes wondered what it would sound like if someone put together a pastiche in the style of Charles Ives on Star Spangled Banner for prepared vocalist and well tempered piano. I guess this would qualify.

Interesting.

Seriously this guy just nails it.

Some nice jazz chords in there.

I gave in and listened.

Ugh.

That poor girl.

I know, I feel sorry for her. But then again, no publicity is bad publicity, right?

Renauda

So long as she didn't follow a kid or animal act, she'll do just fine.

Best one so far!

I do feel really badly for her. She’s just a college freshman, I think. Her voice is pretty nice when it stays on key. Wonder if she’s ok singing with an accompanist.
