She did sound drunk. Awful and hopefully she gets help

What a strange world we live in, in which it's better for a pop star to admit to being an alcoholic than to being tonedeaf.

Yikes. Horrible. Inexcusable, really.

She should be banned from singing the anthem at any future events.

Hope she gets the help she needs - if alcohol was really the issue. Most just feel she is not a very strong singer without autotune, etc.

Heard a funny clip on the morning show where one person said she was singing the version written by Francis Scott Off-Key.

How does that anecdote go? "True, Madam, but in the morning I will be sober, whereas you will still be tonedeaf."

You'd be hard-pressed to find any present-day 'pop' singers who don't use the double crutches: autotune and pitch correction.

The golden era of Barbara Streisand, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Céline Dion, and Lara Fabian is largely over.

Honestly, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be after hearing all of the rumble about it.

 

[Mainstreet]

It's hard to believe a singer could sound this bad even if drunk.

Not really. All you have to do is look to the classical world.

Well, that's a separate category.

Well, that's a separate category.

Okay, lecture me about musical training, good one.

WTF?

Classically trained could mean up to a decade in a conservatory learning voice techniques.

Name a present-day pop singer who is classically trained and doesn't avail themselves of autotune.

Not pop but I’ll give you David Draimen from Disturbed

He's not classically trained. But I don't think he uses autotune. Interesting guy.

Eric aren't you a music professor?

 

[Dback Jon]

I guess it depends on your definition. He was trained to be a Cantor, which is pretty darn close

Mike Patton and Geoff Tate?
