Being asked to sing the national anthem live at a sporting event is a true honour.
Unfortunately sometimes the performances don’t go over as well as expected and that’s what
were going to be talking about today.
Hey youtube im court mcginley and welcome back to the most amazing top 5.
Before we get started I want to know Who is your favourite singer.
let me know your answer down in the comments.
Also I have a challenge for you guys lets try and get this video to 300 likes.
Alright lets get started on our list of the top 5biggest national anthem fails.
Coming in at our number 5 spot--Christina Aguilera- Now no surprise that Christina is
a powerhouse when it comes to singing.
Shes amazing.
But At the 2011 Superbowl she kinda made a rookie mistake when she screwed up the lyrics.
She accidently changed the words in the songs 4th line- and merged the lyrics with the songs
final line.
Can you show 1:10-1:24.
But she continued on singing and the crowd cheered her on.
One player was particularly touched by the performance that he even shed a tear.
Can you show 2 minutes to 2:05.
And Even though she made the mistake her performance ended with the crowd bursting in to applause.
https://youtu.be/Rk3w5sNgqj4 in at our number 4 spot--Kat DeLuna – yeah
this one is not only painful to watch but painful to listen to.
This is a performance from a 2008 Dallas Cowobys game.
So you know back in 2008 Kat was a pretty well known popstar.
The 20 year old had hits like Whine up- and Run the show.
Kat is a good singer so I don’t really know what happened here.
She tried a little too hard to hit those high notes and then the whole song is just really
pitchy and she hits a few bumps.
And then there are points where its like she didn’t even remember the lyrics.
Then the last note was just completely botched all together.
But I must say she kept a game face on the entire time.
I don’t know if she could really hear herself because from the expression on her face she
thinks shes killing it.
But then at the end the stadium let her know how they felt and they erupted into a chorus
of boos .Yeah they wernt impressed.
https://youtu.be/q98BuAX2T0U at number 3--Michael Bolton- ok this performance
was a mess all around.
Bolton preformed at a Red Sox vs. Yankees baseball game in 2003.
So I think its fair to mention that hes only partially responsible for this horrible performance.
One of the main issues with this performance was to do with the audio.
For whatever reason there was some weird echo that would follow everyline he sang.
So he was already off to a rough start but then he made things worse for himself when
he actually paused singing to look at his hand where he had wrote the lyrics.
Bro..you have to sing the national anthem- take a second out of your day to practice
it so you are ready to go.
But I have to admit my favourite part is when the guard behind him just cant help but smile
when Bolton had to look at his hand.
Check it out- can you show- 45 seconds to 54 seconds please.
https://youtu.be/MZrK_kOk8Lw Coming in at our number 2 spot--Roseanne Barr-
First off I want to start by saying if you don’t know who Rosanne Barr is im sorry.
Do yourself a favour look up the show Rosanne and watch it- Because its hilarious.
Now one can only assume her performance at the 1990 San Diego game was suppose to be
a comedic act.
Because theres no way that’s how she actually sings.
Its pretty clear shes just trying to be obnoxious- shes essentially screaming- shes really off
key- and they you know theres the whole crotch grabbing thing.
The whole time the crowd is booing her and then she ends her performance by spitting
on the pitchers mound.
Yeah that was uh…that was something.
https://youtu.be/JDMvfAq7QPw (Start to 25 seconds)
And in at our number 1 spot--Fergie- Yeah this is definitely the most recent biggest
national anthem fail and so I had to put it in the number one spot—even though let be
honest Rosannes performance was way worse.
After her performance at the NBA All-star game everyone took to the internet and were
basically like WTF was that.
I have to admit it was definitely different.
Within minutes of the performance ending memes were already circulating and the amount of
criticism was insane.
. She was definitely going for a sultry rendition kind of vibe- but it didn’t really work
out.
Take a look for yourselves- 25 seconds to 37 seconds.
Fergie released a statement yesterday saying she was honoured and proud to preform the
national anthem and that she wanted to try something special for the NBA.
She said- im a risk taker artistically- but clearly this rendition didn’t strike the
intended tone.
I love this country and honestly tried my best
And there you have it that’s out list of the top 5 biggest national anthem fails.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
