    She went to Berklee College of Music and was in a capella groups, and some other things where she would have had to show she could sing. Maybe she'll get the help she needs and write some cool recovery songs.

    I didn’t think she was unable to sing, I figured she was fucking drunk out of her skull.

    I just saw Sarah McLachlan on the 6th. She was incredible live. Didn't miss a note.

    I think singing the National Anthem is just not a winning gig. You make a mistake like Christina Aguilara, or for whatever reason have a bad night, and people dig on you. But if you pre record the song and lip sync it, then you are torn apart again by the public for not singing live. I have heard reports that her ear monitor went dead and she could not hear herself. Ask any deaf person and it is tough to hold a tune when you cannot hear yourself.

    I mean, per her own Instagram, she was drunk as fuck. I feel like even if I was that drunk, I’d still mention my earpiece wasn’t working.

    We've been asked a couple times and have always politely declined. If you don't start off on the right note, you are screwed. Especially if...

    I don't use in-ear, but any kind of monitor, preferably one that works and you can hear it, is a must have.

    But have you 3d printed 30mm or 40mm grenade launcher shells with "tannerite" while sampling Tennessee's finest bourbon yet? You really shouldn't.

    Fuck that. An obnoxious performer like Jack Black can do a perfectly great and NORMAL job performing the national anthem to a stadium— As many do, like my daughter who sang it in it front of thousands without an earpiece.

    Screwing up a song that is THAT easy— that you have sung more that literally any other song— is pathetic if you are a performer. Sing the fucking song. It doesn’t get easier than that.

    And this is a professional singer and signed recording artist. Do fucking better.

    I’ve sung the national anthem many times, so here’s my take on it:

    It’s not hard, per se. It’s just a wide ranging song. You have to know your limit and start low enough to hit it when you get to “rocket’s red glare.” I usually started too low.
    Also, you have to have a good enough ear to stay on pitch from start to finish.

    Im just going with what the actual singer said - she was drunk off her ass, full stop, and so she’s in rehab.
    The whole “her in-ears weren’t working” sounds like some comment thrown out by a rando on social media and is now being pushed because God forbid we simply make fun of somebody for sucking these days.

    Would you mind giving the Coles Notes to us more ignorant folks on what this is?
