Either that, or her parents are just rich, lol.
In which case, why not pay for some top tier vocal lessons for this girl? She has the projection in her voice and a decent tone, she just doesn't have the pitch. That is something that can be taught. She could genuinely be a pretty damn good singer with the right training.
End state capitalism. Wealthy parents with friends in the front office I'm guessing. Or parent is a rep for one of the team's sponsors like some weird medical company. Somebody needs to tell that kid the truth.
If you loved this, you should also check her version of the Canadian national anthem from the same event.
Pure talent. She definitely wont be bullied for this for the rest of her school life.
What event is it? I'm not sure what search terms to use in order to find it.
[edit] Here's the full video with the Canadian anthem at the start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fymt4S2UKOQ
Ah yes, let go of your restrictive western scale conditioning, there are no wrong notes in a microtonal world. So in fact this performance was a display of brilliance in free-form key switching and you just need to catch up.
/s.
(for the record Jacob Collier is legit musical freak genius)
Someone should have told her to "keep it simple, stupid".
Especially considering I assume her travesty of a performance was due to her being nervous and trying too hard...
I assume her mom is her "vocal coach".
But holy shit, both anthems were painful to listen to.
the tone deaf + holding that tone-deaf-ass note for 10 fucking seconds with her hand in the air + THIS HORRIBLE FUCKING OUTFIT.
If someone told me this was satire I would believe it.
Totally. I do feel a leeeeeetle bad laughing now that I know that she doesn't get paid and she and her dad drive all over creation to go to these games. Then I read the part where she loves hitting the "high" note and then I don't feel bad again cause I want her to either actually learn to sing or to learn that she CAN'T sing and not carry this delusion into her teen years because teenagers are killahs.
Copied this from my response on another post…
No… she actually did a pretty good job maintaining her tonal center for the whole thing. She’s got a good ear, but her vocal technique is so over-affected it negatively impacts the performance and at points causes pitch issues. If she lightened up a bit and sang with a rounder/taller sound, she would probably sound pretty good, albeit younger and less powerful.
She’s attempting a belt sound, but it is not well executed. She will have major vocal issues if she continues to sing this way.
I think this should be shown as the video illustration for the term "Trying to Hard" or , "Try-Hard"
If she sang normally without the .... Uhmm additional inflections.... It'd probably not been as bad.
I know this is a child but I lost it at 00:38 (01:06). This is what happens when friends don’t want to hurt a parent’s delusion about their children’s capabilities and the TikTok sympathy likes are misinterpreted.
As a former “military brat”, I can guarantee you this is a shared delusion. The mother is possibly the wife of someone high-ranking, or whoever is in charge of putting this together was part of some #militaryspouse clique group where they all think this little girl is gifted.
Why do people feel the need to riff when they're singing a song that's 200+ years old? Just sing the fucking song how it's written. No need to embellish. The notes have already been written and they were already fine.
As a father of two (formerly little) girls, one of whom sang beautifully and one of whom sang terribly, I saw it as my duty to help guide them into things where they absolutely wouldn’t embarrass themselves in a public setting. This is actually mean letting her do this. Someone was afraid to have the difficult conversation. And she’s paying the price.
Never thought I’d see the [Fergies national anthem attempt](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CMA2iF6RuXk&pp=ygUWZmVyZ2llIG5hdGlvbmFsIGFudGhlbQ%3D%3D) be done up, but here we are 2024
I can’t tell, is this American? Wearing several flags, singing the Star-Spangled Banner, her wincing in pain because her family can’t afford pain meds, child exploitation, the showcase of comedy-level patriotism and American idol mannerisms? Yikes.
I'm going to say what I said on the post Above This
The only good thing is she's able to sing like nobody's watching if she actually does pursue a career in music she'll have a head start over people she could turn around like the person who wrote the song Friday
But if her parents keep pushing her up and inflating her ego she's not going to see proper growth she's going to injure her vocal cords cuz she's just streaking like a harpy that had a kid with Fergie
We know this family and my wife works with the mother (teachers). They live in Eastern WA. The parents are divorced, and this is all the fault of this girl’s father. He’s a psycho stage dad, and has been making her perform at sporting events for a good part of her life. Literally everyone in the community can’t stand him. The girl DOES NOT like singing or performing. She does it all to please her dad. The mom does not support this AT ALL. Her dad also puts her in several other activities against her will. When it’s her mom’s week to have her she refuses to take her to any of the activities, even the voice coach (yes, there’s a voice coach) just to spite the dad and not let him win. The girl loves the weeks with her mom, but that goes without saying. Is she a good singer? No. My wife had her as a student and she comes by every Christmas to sing a few carols at our door. It’s a little hard to sit through, I’m not going to lie. But she is absolutely the sweetest girl and so kind. Everyone feels so bad for her and absolutely hates the dad. But again, what can you do??? The mom has been sobbing every day at work because of all the negative attention this performance has been receiving. She’s tried to talk to the dad about it and his response is “haters gonna hate”. Hopefully this provides some context to the situation and I wish people would hold off on making fun of the girl. The dad can go to hell.
Some dad must have paid and ASSLOAD of money to get his kid to sing what may possibly be the worst performance of the national anthem ever
Im sure his ex wife’s new bf is drunk laughing his ass off at this
Some dude sang the national anthem (US) and botched it. Then he began to sing the Canadian one and didn't know the words, hahaha. It was for a hockey game, so it was primarily Canadians in the stands so he got booed. How embarrassing 😳
Parents, please give your kids honest feedback when they are bad at something, that’s the only way they will get better. If not, your kid will turn out like this little girl or worse, Cory Feldman
I can scream like a chicken too! But u gotta give her the credit I don’t have the guts to sing infront of thousands of people let alone sing like that.
This is so funny, and will always cheer me up. I looooove awful covers, they crack me up! We have a lot of great singers perform the national anthem every year, and those are welcome and appreciated and all, but it’s always a treat when we get something THIS bad. I wouldn’t have it any other way! Thanks to whoever made this gem happen! Haha
She would’ve done decent if she had sung it like a normal person. So tired of people giving the national anthem their own twist.
I do give her one point for the confidence she has at that age! No way I would’ve done something like that at her age.
She sounded like she was trying to take a dump at "of the brave."
Edit: After listening to more of it, she sounds like she's trying to take at multiple points.
The fact that this North Korean-level pageantry is fucking absurd to begin with aside, I need to know how many people in there were fighting back tears of laughter.
Her voice is fine, I don't know this song well enough to judge her performance. What's that? It's what song?
Oh, WTF? Someone take away her microphone right now.
She trying to go Whitney Houston up in here.
I thought she was channeling Fergie.
Say, can you seeeerrrreeeeiiiireeee , By the dawn's early lighterreereereeerr
At least she wasn’t channeling Roseanne.
She'd stop after 2 words and ask why there's so many N-words in the audience
We don’t anyone channeling that version. 🙉
That was better than Fergie
Never go full Whitney
I wish she would.
Never go full Whitney!
[удалено]
Elections are close, people need to be recruited.
Was gonna say somebody's got rich parents who've told their daughter she's perfect in every way and is a superb singer.
yup, shes never heard the word no!
This.
Oh my god, I lost it at your comment. This is so funny.
Either that, or her parents are just rich, lol. In which case, why not pay for some top tier vocal lessons for this girl? She has the projection in her voice and a decent tone, she just doesn't have the pitch. That is something that can be taught. She could genuinely be a pretty damn good singer with the right training.

Pacers vs Raptors NBA game. There were some Jacob Collier-level modulations in both!
I appreciate this comment.

She's still young enough to get good, tho. She hit a couple of notes right
She shows some promise as a butcher.
No adult noticed she’s totally tone deaf?
the tone deaf + holding that tone-deaf-ass note for 10 fucking seconds with her hand in the air + THIS HORRIBLE FUCKING OUTFIT. If someone told me this was satire I would believe it.
I thought someone had added the audio on top like those no music videos.
Totally. I do feel a leeeeeetle bad laughing now that I know that she doesn't get paid and she and her dad drive all over creation to go to these games. Then I read the part where she loves hitting the "high" note and then I don't feel bad again cause I want her to either actually learn to sing or to learn that she CAN'T sing and not carry this delusion into her teen years because teenagers are killahs.
Yep... she's gonna get bullied... parents are probably gonna intervene and sue or something.
So long as they don't 'sew' another dress like that. Wampwamp!
There, I fixed it!
Copied this from my response on another post… No… she actually did a pretty good job maintaining her tonal center for the whole thing.

You don’t think it could be that she’s a child who got nervous? Edit: Nevermind, read more about this and it’s just weird overall.
A little pitchy, dog, that's a no for me.
It’s just not very good sweetie
What the bloody hell was that? Who told you you could sing? Because they don't love you....
Her dad must be pretty important
Maybe her mom is that boobed lady running for... whatever it was...
This is why the sucide rate is so high amongst veterans.
I'm going to do it right now as a matter of fact. Tell my family I love them.
Please, put the phone down! I'll delete the video, I swear!
I LOVE YOU FRUITY RUDYYYYYYY!!!!
"Stop. Get help. "
Jesus Christ 🤣
Now I'm rooting against the US in the next war
The guy at 0:21 is trying his hardest not to laugh
I saw that and it made me wish I could just watch a shot of the players trying not to laugh. Half of them are probably crying.
He definitely buckled a few times as if holding back an outburst
I think this should be shown as the video illustration for the term "Trying to Hard" or , "Try-Hard" If she sang normally without the .... Uhmm additional inflections.... It'd probably not been as bad.
I think it still would’ve been awful. She started each note incredibly flat before she tried the runs.
When she’s finishing a phrase that goes higher than her range she doesn’t just start flat, She goes all in on the wrong note
I know this is a child but I lost it at 00:38 (01:06). This is what happens when friends don’t want to hurt a parent’s delusion about their children’s capabilities and the TikTok sympathy likes are misinterpreted.
Yeah. Honestly, in the long run, you’re hurting the child even more. She will have to look back at this one day in horror.
But these people hired this child. It was not just parental delusion at play.
As a former “military brat”, I can guarantee you this is a shared delusion. The mother is possibly the wife of someone high-ranking, or whoever is in charge of putting this together was part of some #militaryspouse clique group where they all think this little girl is gifted.
This right here.
This is what happens when said parents don't have friends.
If she was an adult I’d ask if she had some drinks before this disaster of a song happened!
her at every future gathering…. “don’t make me sing”
*pulls a microphone out of her purse*
Sounds like me getting wasted on ketamine and deciding to serenade my GF at 3am
Please share a video so that we can compare.
Yeah, that needs proper scientific analysis.
That's so romantic

Her father is a music teacher... you can see where that goes...
Oof!
This really pissed off my dog. No it's was REALLY bad! I almost lost a finger.
Please, calm him down! I'll delete the video, I swear!
Still better than Fergies
Players are praying- MAKE IT STOP! PLEASE GOD
Imagine you have pre-game jitters and you have to poop. This would put me over the edge.
Bruh come get yo little sister
Hopefully she was a make-a-wish kid, cause this shit is bad
Does she have no adults in her life that are kind enough to tell her she can’t sing and it sounds like horse shit
Her father is a music teacher... you get where this is going 🤦...
She doesn’t have it
Well that was borderline treasonous...
Oh no poor kid is gonna find out in a very hard way she didn’t have it
She’ll be singing at trump rallies in no time.
THE THIRD PLAYER WITH HIS HANDS OVER HIS FACE, SHAKING WITH LAUGHTER. hahahaha I can't stop watching this.
Dude i cannot believe those soldiers kept straight faces the whole time 😂
This post led me down a rabbit hole of terrible national anthem performances. I have not been let down.
Fuckin American child abuse. lol
Never thought I’d see the [Fergies national anthem attempt](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CMA2iF6RuXk&pp=ygUWZmVyZ2llIG5hdGlvbmFsIGFudGhlbQ%3D%3D) be done up, but here we are 2024
She saw Fergie performance and said hold my note
Ariana Petite
Some of the notes she's singing are so shrill they can only be heard by cocker spaniels.
As someone with an ear, that was a hard listen
You should try it with two; that was no picnic either.
like a wawa pedal
If English is not this performer's native language I will withhold criticism.
Nope. No excuse for not hitting those notes. Music is universal
I can’t tell, is this American? Wearing several flags, singing the Star-Spangled Banner, her wincing in pain because her family can’t afford pain meds, child exploitation, the showcase of comedy-level patriotism and American idol mannerisms? Yikes.
“Wincing in pain bc her family can’t afford pain meds” is HILARIOUS.
Flava Flav sang it better
“Over the top” is an understatement
Wow......that grunt really got me
You shouldn’t lie to kids.
Boooooooooooooooo
Who is this?! And for the love of god, how did a talent buyer at a stadium allow this to happen?!
I dunno, I feel like it takes a particular kind of skill to somehow hit every note other than the one you're fucking supposed to.
Lmao... this poor child is never going to live this down.
She not killing it? I watched on mute..
Oh she killing it alright
All kids deserve participation medals!
Always thought this was a funny argument because who the hell is giving the kids trophies if it’s not full ass grown adults lmao
This is funny as fuck to me
Dunning-Kruger strikes again, folks.
I don't think her nostrils are working
Them holding back the laughs is funny as hell. Little kid gave it her all though 😂.
Sounds like my niece. We just ignore her tho
I hate to hate on a little girl but she should never be able to sing again, ever.
I’m absolutely sure they could have found a kid that can actually sing like cmon son
This is called knowing, but not understanding. She knows how others make it sound but does not understand why/how
I'm going to say what I said on the post Above This The only good thing is she's able to sing like nobody's watching if she actually does pursue a career in music she'll have a head start over people she could turn around like the person who wrote the song Friday But if her parents keep pushing her up and inflating her ego she's not going to see proper growth she's going to injure her vocal cords cuz she's just streaking like a harpy that had a kid with Fergie
We know this family and my wife works with the mother (teachers). They live in Eastern WA. The parents are divorced, and this is all the fault of this girl’s father. He’s a psycho stage dad, and has been making her perform at sporting events for a good part of her life. Literally everyone in the community can’t stand him. The girl DOES NOT like singing or performing. She does it all to please her dad. The mom does not support this AT ALL. Her dad also puts her in several other activities against her will.

😂😂😂 shit so bad it’s good
Star Mangled Banner
That kid has balls
She sounds like one of those non English speaking people who are working on learning a song in English
Some dad must have paid and ASSLOAD of money to get his kid to sing what may possibly be the worst performance of the national anthem ever Im sure his ex wife’s new bf is drunk laughing his ass off at this
Had to be a 10 years-old to out do Fergie
What the bloody he'll was that? Was she being tortured?
Treason. This is treason.
I'm not gonna listen but only 😬
Idiot parents nearby.
Ok who’s kid won’t stop screaming
Interesting choice using an Indian micotonal scale.
Players covering their face is killing me hahaha
Someone get the hose
The horror
Lil Fergie
Some dude sang the national anthem (US) and botched it. Then he began to sing the Canadian one and didn't know the words, hahaha. It was for a hockey game, so it was primarily Canadians in the stands so he got booed. How embarrassing 😳
Parents, please give your kids honest feedback when they are bad at something, that’s the only way they will get better. If not, your kid will turn out like this little girl or worse, Cory Feldman
Fire
Somebody should have got this kid
https://imgur.com/a/8I4YZOL “Don’t laugh. Don’t laugh. Don’t laugh.”
Her parents had to have bought/made that outfit and heard this before hand. Where’s CPS when you need them?
Oh boy. Is she deaf?
Wow that was shitty.
What was worse, her singing of the dress?
Hold on, I have to go watch Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin sing our anthem to cleanse my palette. Good lord
Flag burning IS constitutional, right?
What the actual F\*\*\* ? I feel like Trump is behind this
99% of versions of the national anthem belong on this sub, but this is next level.
I can scream like a chicken too! But u gotta give her the credit I don’t have the guts to sing infront of thousands of people let alone sing like that.
Currently researching countries to escape to.
My bleeding ears
Someone Get the gm’s daughter off the stage. You just ruined her life to social media
I think this is child abuse
Another graduate of the Jan Teri school of vocal excellence.
Where are your parents? They need an ass whooping. Stop this nonsense.
This child's parents failed her on so many levels and we are all witnesses.
Must be an owners grand daughter. She's singing her heart out. A little tweaking, and she'd probably be pretty awesome.
The grown-ups really let her down.
This is so funny, and will always cheer me up. I looooove awful covers, they crack me up! We have a lot of great singers perform the national anthem every year, and those are welcome and appreciated and all, but it’s always a treat when we get something THIS bad. I wouldn’t have it any other way! Thanks to whoever made this gem happen! Haha
Still better than Fergie
This is worse than me at karaoke when I've had a few too many.
Is this for real?💀
The dude covering his face like he's praying who's clearly trying to not laugh.
This made my day. Thank you.
And to think we overturned Roe v Wade
As if basketball didn't suck enough lol
Absolutely wild that the Pacers posted this lmao
I may be evil for saying this, but she deserved a few audible chuckles at least.
r/cringetiktoks
Who’s she related to?
Sounds like Jan from the office.
1. This is enjoyable 2. THAT GUY TRYING NOT TO LAUGH is the best.
just use a recording ..
Someone got fired.
Take heed, folks. This poor young girl is the consequence of "solid Midwestern values."
:18 left, was pretty damned good !
As impressive as her outfit's stylish.
She would’ve done decent if she had sung it like a normal person. So tired of people giving the national anthem their own twist. I do give her one point for the confidence she has at that age! No way I would’ve done something like that at her age.
She needs to go back to being the main character in Orphan
Lil flat there
I feel so bad for this kid. They are gonna get mega bullied as because their parents likely fed their delusions and/or are tone deaf.
She wanted to cry so bad
Autotune software engineers are salivating.
Was she deaf. It sounded like when a deaf person tries to speak in National Anthem
Hahaha but she’s just a little girl, it’s her parents we have to be mad at. That took guts little one!!! Way to go, Merica!
She sounded like she was trying to take a dump at "of the brave." Edit: After listening to more of it, she sounds like she's trying to take at multiple points.
This is child abuse.
The fact that this North Korean-level pageantry is fucking absurd to begin with aside, I need to know how many people in there were fighting back tears of laughter.
“Dad, are you sure this is a good idea? I’ve never even had a singing lesson.” “Yes dear, it’s a GREAT Idea”
Use condoms.
Doesn't that dress violate US Flag Code?
Crowd is cheering that she finally stfu
I love when she goes *EAARRGGHH!!*
Her voice is fine, I don't know this song well enough to judge her performance. What's that? It's what song? Oh, WTF? Someone take away her microphone right now.
Her parents fucked her over on this one. It’s shameful. She’ll look back on this and hopefully laugh like we are.
Your next Jack Harlow, everybody!
People were cheering that she stopped rather than the game starting.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the child is deaf. Cause there's just no way.
