CPAC Epic National Anthem Fail with Orchestra

[WhoIsNumberNone]

Looking forward to the heavy metal and Frank Zappa versions

1. Not as bad as Roseanne Barr.

Just sayin'.

[TwilightZone]

2. Barr's was intentionally bad.

Pretty sure this one was not.

[rzemanfl]

3. Hard to tell IMHO. n/t

[WhoIsNumberNone]

10. Didn't she later try to claim that is was?

I think I also heard she grabbed her crotch and spit as she was walking up to the mic, so maybe it's plausible...

[stevesinpa]

18. actually

the disgusting 'comedienne' (i never found her funny) finished her insult to our national anthem, and then stepped back and spit and grabbed her crotch. she thought she was trying to make a joke mimicking baseball players, but all she did was disgrace herself and our anthem even further.
to those that dont know, take a wild guess who roseanne is a supporter of.

4. One of the comments: "Sung in the key of Q." LOL

ETA: then I found this

[usaf-vet]

5. I have yet to see the singer's name mention. That is good for her. Anonymity.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

7. Her name is Sailor Sabol

All her social media has gone dark for some reason...

15. I'm sure she is getting nasty comments. My wife and I felt sorry for her. It takes guts to get in...

..... in front of an audience.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

6. Their poor girl probably thought she knew how to sing

The person who set her up for this knew better and must be very cruel. She must be devastated by now.

8. Seems like she should be storming out of an American Idol audition somewhere, not singing at CPAC...

My guess is she's either somebody's daughter or she had a "private audition" with one of the organizers

[Ohioboy]

16. She is singing notes that create discord with the notes played in key by the instruments

In other words, she is doing it so wrong she's making the whole thing sound off. The instruments are doing it right.

[rainin]

9. Is it me or does she keep changing keys? As a non musical person, I'm trying to figure out why

it sounds so awful! In addition to sounding like she keeps changing keys, it also sounds like the accompaniment is playing in a different key. Can a knowledgeable person explain what's happening here? Thanks in advance.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

11. She does keep changing keys

Or going out of key, or whatever. her voice breaks once or twice while she's trying to hold a note, as well.
The joke here is that people have been adding in musical accompaniment which attempts to stay in key with her.

[Cozmo]

19. She is unforgivably flat with some minor key changes

[MiniMe]

12. I listened once, just can't do it again

She is horrible

[Wild blueberry]

13. Hurts my ears

Flats and sharps. Ugh.

[East-A-Squared]

14. In the words of Randy Jackson from American Idol:

"Yo yo dog! That was pitchy!"

[Ohioboy]

17. How did they not know ahead of time that she couldn't sing?

Certainly there was a practice, right?

[Cozmo]

21. Maybe she was signing the Q version of the national anthem

[Aussie105]

20. I'm guessing people who could have done it better

all said 'NO!'

Needed about 20 more rehearsals, really. Less volume, better pitch control?

Nice song. Pity it got this treatment.

[Cozmo]

22. Let's gather the 1/6 insurrectionists and make them listen to this awful rendition over and over

This punishment might deter them from future atrocities against democracy

[Warpy]

23. ouch.

I got as far as "Gave proof...." before the astringency turned into nausea.

I don't suppose it improved after that.
