2013 Memorial Cup American National Anthem Screw Up, Anthems in general...



This is the American National Anthem that was sung before the Portland and Halifax game at the 2013 Memorial Cup. The woman singing the anthem is Alexis Normand, apparently she didn’t know the words to the American anthem, maybe she shouldn’t have sang it. This is a joke, the players on the bench are laughing at her... I guess, I would expect better, especially during the Memorial Cup.



But that isn’t the only place that this happens, I went to the races at River Cities Speedway on Friday night and woman the sang the Canadian and American Anthems was absolutely brutal, and shouldn’t been singing the either anthem and offended two countries with her brutal renditions. It was absolutely disgusting. It does matter.

At least the woman that miss sang the American anthem can actually sing, this woman that sang the anthem at the races on Friday night, couldn’t sing at all. Why is it a big deal? The American and Canadian anthems are serious songs and both countries have proud, rich histories and traditions. So yeah, I do think it’s important to give both countries anthems respect. I would rather hear a band or a recording of of the anthems then listen to someone slaughter the American and or Canadian anthems.
