Kat DeLuna, who is best known for the song "Whine Up" from last summer, did the National Anthem before the Dallas Cowboys game last night. I laughed my ass off watching this. Check this out and judge whether or not Kat destroyed the National Anthem. The ending is hilarious!

Hahahah That song sucks!

Exactly like i said in an earlier thread, this generation that grew up on "oversinging" and "American Idol" cannot do anything live. The generation is all about HYPE and most of the singers are going for that one "big" note to show off

i think it sounds like shit but i thought people in general liked all that melisma crap. i don't think it was roseanne-bad (though i still defend her choice to play for laughs to this day), but she did oversing the hell out of it. look, if you are going to ask a comedian to sing the national anthem, expect them to do something funny. if you're going to ask a melismatic pop tart to sing the national anthem, expect her to sing like a car alarm. it's that simple.

I was there last night, and that shit was HORRENDOUS! She got sooooo booed. The national anthem is one of the hardest songs to sing so I will never understand why these novice singers think they can just roll up and do it without doing some serious work to prepare. And even then they usually don't have the natural talent to sing the song on key anyway. It was a mess and whoever selected that chick to sing at one of our biggest games of the year needs to be fired. I heard today that game earned the largest number of viewers for a cable show ever and they had that no-talent heffa rolling her neck through the anthem.

I feel so sorry for you that you had to hear that mess live.

purplecam said:

I hate to say it but I literally had my hands over my ears and was humming to avoid hearing it. The anthem is one of those songs that's like nails on a chalkboard to me when people fuck it up.

OOOOH! Oh My GOD! She was doing ok until "Or' the land of the freeee..eee" and then she geared off TERRIBLY!!! Oh man oh man oh man...the BOO's were so OBNOXIOUS!!!!

LMAO

1:54 !!

wow!!Looks like KAT used up all her nine lives. Her singing career is dead, but porn has a bright future for her.

SCNDLS said:

I'm with you on that one. There is nothing worse than hearing a terrible version of the National Anthem.

That's cold-blooded right there!

SCNDLS said:

I was lol'ing at the gestures she was making! Like, it's the national fucking anthem, you don't need to be gesturing like it's Rhythm Nation or something.

That was pretty bad.

Marvin, must be rolling in his grave...

Well, here's the proper way of singing it, & the girl was only 10 at the time:



I think all that melissma nonsense was disrespectful, but that's just me. Just sing it simply, m'kay?

Never heard of her. Now my ears are bleeding.

Are you kidding? She was trying to suck cock up there

And people wonder why the USA invades countries....

No you didn't just say that!

I'll always prefer Cyndi ...'s Version

This is so funny because I was at the hair salon last week and several ladies were going on and on about how talented Rihianna, Chris Brown and Kat DeLuna are. I had to remain silent because I was in sheer awe at what people accept as talent now. The bar has been lowered seemingly to a point of no return. My stylist could tell I wasn't feeling it because I was so silent and she knows I am a HUGE music fan. So, she leaned over to me and said, "you have to remember these are 'normal' people's tastes, not yours." At least the "normal" people in that crowd knew that rendition was garbage.

I'm always amazed by the widely acceptable low standards in musical tastes. But, I'm sooo not buying that this shit is normal cuz I think this all because of the garbage the music industry and MTV is feeding the public who's too ignant and lazy to demand something better.

I thank God everyday that I grew up in the 80s when "normal" meant Prince (whose 1999 album I bought with my own money at 9 years old), Michael Jackson, Madonna, Janet Jackson, the birth of hip-hop, plus TONS of bands that actually played instruments and singers who actually sang. The cool thing about back then is that even the "one hit wonders" were off the chain and had to have talent. MTV was also great, in its infancy, for exposing people of different backgrounds to other music. It brought rock/heavy metal to the hood (for those of us who could afford cable) and hip-hop to the 'burbs and beyond. I just at what it's become. I still remember the morning they launched the creators or owners or whatever were on CNN giving an interview trying to defend the purpose of their channel. I was going into 3rd grade but I distinctly remember thinking I was gonna love that shit. And I did, but I'll be damned if they didn't end up ushering in the death of real music and musicians. MTV ended up being Damien like a muthafucka.

Wow. If liking Chris Brown, Rihanna and Kat DeLuna is "normal", then I'm going to do all that I can to be the biggest weirdo in America. Today's music is an abomination to all senses and I will never except this "normalcy" that's out here on the airwaves today.

I have no idea who this chick is - thankfully. She's awful.

I know what it looks like

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

You know you right!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

So Supa...how well do you "sing" the National Anthem???

SCNDLS said:

Neither Madonna or Janet WACKson could ever dream of singing the national anthem acapella and live. Both of them were charlatans through and through. And by the way, Prince was never "normal". He was always an exception. He stood completely alone, then and now. As for MJ, he only released two albums in the '80s and one of them was crap.
