This was such a gross version, it was like she never sung it before.
I agree , the US fans started booing and finally when the Canadian fans singing along started being louder than the boos she started doing all sorts of weird pitch stuff and drawing out words like I've never heard before. Would have been way more powerful to let the crowd get into singing it with her drowning out the boos in the other countries stadium.
You got a lot of downvotes but I thought the same thing. Off key left and right. Appreciate her attempt though.
I mean...she's in a fascist country singing a protest version of an Anthem for a country that said fascist country wants to take over while thousands of people booed her. What you saw were nerves. She was shaky. I assume she's a fine singer but as a vocalist myself, I can hear when someone's nerves are getting too them. Incredible that she even went through with it.
Hear hear. Chantal's got more intestinal fortitude than most of us could ever claim to have.
Yeah. She sang the "Leaving on a Jet Plane" cover (John Denver?) for the Armageddon movie.
And while she was born in Winnipeg, the Kreviazuk name is from her Ukrainian side. Political statement? Yep. Burn? Kelso-level.
Ya that's fair. I was surprised they had the Canadian flag in the stadium at all
