Some people think this was actually her accompanist. While the singing is real, the pianist video was added later. Also to be fair, whoever picked her had to have known about this:

... which makes it even more puzzling. WTF were they thinking? Is this like the guy who “accidentally” projected the fake presidential seal at a DT speech last year? Can’t recall the details. Does anyone remember when & where that was?

She started in the same key as the piano and just kept drifting more and more from the key.

The electronic keyboard is not going to go sharp or flat in the course of one tune. If the singer could hear the keyboard, she has no ear and should not be singing in public. If she could not hear the keyboard, then her ear is not nearly good enough to sing a cappella with a keyboard to be mixed in unheard.

She drifted at least a full step before I just couldn't take it anymore - about "the rockets red glare."

That poor lady has NO EAR!

The guy on the piano had no idea what to do. Should he keep shifting keys? Should he just power through?

I don't have the voice to sing the National Anthem in public. I know that fact and would not make the attempt.

That poor lady's voice isn't terrible - but she has no ear! She sincerely doesn't not know that she is not in the same key as the piano. She also doesn't know that she keeps drifting farther and farther away from the piano. Someone - or a group of some ones - did her a serious disservice telling her she could sing.

As the country folks say: "She could not carry a tune in a bucket."

When I was ranting that this poor girl doesn’t have even one friend who could take her aside and say don’t do this, he reminded me that these are the same people who don’t do their homework or plan anything, who have a press conference across from a porn store ...
