Cyndi Lauper messes up on the National Anthem at the U.S. Open Tennis

[a1sspiked]

Every one could seemingly get it right and hit it out of the park if they got to record it in a studio first, get it enhanced, then lip sync to the play back. At least she was singing "Live" which cant be said for some other Memorex artists.

[mzcytin]

Messed up but still a baaad Bitch!!! I bet she sings better than U!!!!!

[liltyler209]

The anthem is gay they should hav made it better like something stronger nt make america sound like a bitch

[whoyoumuggingoff]

What part did she mess up? ( I don't know USA's national anthem)

[BigBadNancy]

Fuck the US anthem.

[9Skateboard7]

@BigBadNancy fuck you bitch

[gduque03]

I don't know the lyrics but I thought melodically it was a beautiful rendition.

[poetview]

By many standards she did far better than 90% of all people who attempt to sing the anthem. And would certainly rank low on the list of possible screw ups. Of what could be considered to be one of the hardest anthems to get right in how it should be performed

[619jocy]

@TLbaby12 She has had huge concerts, so i don't think that the national anthem would be a problem....

[TLbaby12]

@619jocy things that are simple like that are the easiest thing to mess up. even if you know the words, millions of people watching might be just a tad bit intimidating.

[akirafactor]

@MusicIsALoveAffair Oh, the new CIA/Military. Terrorists in action.

[moroney1]

OMG, im shocked. Cyndi is an incredible belter, her tour of this year displayed her amazing voice. So how the hell can she then sing this so badly?!

[novanine9]

Ha..that's what I sound like when I'm writing a new song: "oh the ....the ramparts we....we....share?" Give her a break...dumbest most warlike lyrics in the universe....EVVVVVER! Can you imagine a nation's anthem? we done SMITE your ass...HO!...can't keep US down, niggazz...cause WE JUST GETZ BACK UP...

HEY...STILL GOT MY FLAG, HIZZA!

[TheEuropeanDream]

yeah,fuck the USA!ROMANIANS HATE AMERICANS,They are moron,idiot,fat and stupid rednecks!Fortunately,the romanian people have invaded the USA,OVER 3000000 ROMANIANS ARE WORKING IN THIS FUCKING COUNTRY,A SHITHOLE,That is why many lazy americans are poor and many americans are unemployed.Fuck the usa!! God bless Romania,Romania rulles!

There are romanians all over the USA.They are doctors,teachers,cops,taxi drivers,sellers,lawyers,bussin­ess men/women

Romanians are hard working,americans are lazy

[NoGoodBoyo1000]

@TheEuropeanDream Fucking nonsense. 

[novanine9]

@TheEuropeanDream - Aren't Romanians...USELESS COMMIE SWINES?

Yeah, that's what I thought

[felixjazzage]

@TheEuropeanDream

Yeah, Romania was so great that the Romans threw up their hands & left it. It wasn't worth their time, although an isolated outpost like Britain was. It was so great it sided with the Nazis during the Second World War. It was so great that it had one of the most backward communist regimes in the Balkans. It's so great now that hordes of Romanians are leaving it.

When most people in Britain or the West think of Romania, they think of Bram Stoker. That is hilarious.

[tomnshanna]

@TheEuropeanDream Mostly taxi drivers ( c : 

[mrnike247365]

Ugly old dinosaur, voice sounded like shit to

[Cindy7582]

She did not shine her true colors, they didn't come through. Giving cindies a bad name.shame...

[StrengthAndHonor777]

I like Cindy L. A few missing words, but she still rocked it!

[carnellbooinline]

she sound drugged up anyway...

[IamSnipemare]

@SuperBamaslim Lol she messed up the american anthem perhaps you misunderstood. When was the last time you heard a Canadian Mess up the Canadian National Anthem?

Boom. Roasted

[zoxEmoRoXasxoz]

@IamSnipemare But that's because our's is simple. And I've still heard people flub it when they were singing in front of a lot of people.

[supxmuffinface]

I LOVE ME SOME TENNIS!!!!

[AskTheRedHead]

@PURELOVECREW I really don't have to argue with you. You are almost 30 yrs older than me. Don't you have bills to be paying or something. Besides, the battle has already been won.

[AskTheRedHead]

@PURELOVECREW I don't hate Muslims. Don't assume that everyone in this nation hates the Muslims. I don't have any hate for the extremists that attacked my country, I forgave them for what they did. We aren't blaming them as a whole either. After Bin Ladin was killed, there were papers and videos found that proved that radical Islamic terrorists did it. Prove that they didn't. We will never be taken over by the Zionist Entity, but there are known terrorists training camps inside this nation.

[ForestWinter]

What's does it mean?

[s10eagles]

And that brings me to my next point, dont smoke crack!

[vitaminB100]

@handsandobff You are the one whom had berated I.

[airsoftdog]

Why can no one sing the song right when they're at a sporting event..

[vitaminB100]

@handsandobff I never said that. I said the use of the words gallantly streaming in the American National Anthem refer to the flag.

"Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?"

Therefore those stars and those stripes, representing the flag, were gallantly streaming. It's an example of Metonymy.

[Remember4397]

I just died a little bit.

[domnal]

Perhaps the last line should be ,as a matter of conscience and recognition :

"O'er the land of the Free roaming Indian Brave. "

I know it should be Native American but they were called Indians at the time the Europeans took their land from them by the methods available at the time.

[domnal]

Don't any of you Yankees know the words ? :-

O! say can you see by the dawn’s early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,

O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;

O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

[destro8082]

God she should go shoot herself in the face not only did she mess up it sounded like shit worse than a crackhead with no teeth trying to sing what a fail yup she should die...my vote is it sucks balls big Harry baboon balls

[zoxEmoRoXasxoz]

@destro8082 You are an insult to all Americans. No... to all humans.

[jfmalloy777]

But other than that, she has a nice voice and she sang in front of a lot of people soooooo..... I can't really blame her. And the anthem isn't long, people just stretch it out.

[jfmalloy777]

She said and the flag was still streaming.

[domnal]

@jfmalloy777 That was close enough to the gist of it. as the first verse actually refers to what is on the flag and not the flag itself i.e the stars and stripes gallantly streaming. The problem is that the whole verse is just ONE

sentence with a question or two laced into it !! Oh say can you see with all the qualifying phrases that follow .

The good thing is there is no God in it !! Thomas Jefferson would have liked that !! So Honest Atheists can now sing the Anthem with impunity !!

[mbtshoesmbts]

Sweet music

[EerieScreams]

I hate the American Anthem. -.-

[allieebee]

awe, poor girl! oh well, she still did an amazing job. love her <3

[JF071486]

sick car jump at 1puglife channel - only in canada

[stagemuffin]

Cyndi Lauper is hot.

1 <3 Canada.

Amen!

[Gamespot25]

@vezina444 "We took it" Doesn't mean americans, 60% of the bruins players are Canadian fyi.

[ilusoftball123]

the back of her skirt looks like it was censored

[sara4eva856]

where did she mess up? im not american......

[VoCKillz123321]

HOLY SHIT A ZOMBIE!!!!!

[samiversity]

i didn't hear her mess up ..thats just Cyndi's style of singing and its great!!

[relmofyou]

who cares if anyone remembers the whole anthem the american one is really long and also whats the point.

[4272mana]

Cindy should stick to singing about her big hits about masturbation and girls just wanna have fun,she must of had a dumb MTV flashback.Who the hell selected Cindy Lauper to sing the National Anthem?!!

[spfann1]

this is why americans should stay in school for life. and go on a diet.

[Clinton0707]

just butchered 'er

[nailpolish323]

i bet half of americans cant even sing this anthem....

[zoxEmoRoXasxoz]

Oooooh, some one got nervous and fucked up in public. How disgraceful! How un-patriotic! She should die for messing up because she was singing in front of 30000+ people!

Americans, chill the fuck out. Someone messing up an anthem isn't the end of the world. Get over yourselves.

[Throan1]

Why does everyone have to come up with some new improved version of your anthem? Why can't they just sing it.

I'm not the only person tired of hearing "stylized" anthems, am I?

[wtayloranderson]

@Throan1 no your probably not, but im not the only person tired of hearing your fucked input either.

[Throan1]

@wtayloranderson and which "fucked" input would that be? a politely phrased question inquiring as to others opinions?

It's a shame that your kind are so prevalent online, any discourse at all is negated by the unfunny and base comments you fill channels with

And yes, I looked at your posting history, Seems to me all you do is troll the posts of people who are smarter than you. I've made my point, and I will not be responding to any other of your comments here. Good day to you, and best of luck

[wtayloranderson]

@Throan1 Good day to you as well. My girlfriend is at work, my car is in the shop and I am at home with my mother because she is ill. I am bored to death! Very few people I encounter are more intelligent than I, but from time to time its is mildly entertaining to create rifts on Youtube. Fare Thee Well Doucher.

[TiffTC]

she sucks here

[JaySLickTwinZ]

i'm 100% positive they know the anthem. it's just the nerves/anxiety that fucks it up. how would you act if over 30,000 people were watching you??

[iah124]

@JaySLickTwinZ That's pretty funny, considering she is a singer and has done concerts where she probably sang in front of a lot more.

[TheTrebledSoul]

You know why "WARS" and "HATRED" start and come to be? Because of stupid people like the ones on this comment board. She messed up on ONE line! And all you people are soooooo offended!?!? Like, Let's Get Her!!! She Ruined MY Anthem!!! Fawwwwwwwk All Y'all!!! I hope your enemies, NOT MINE, show you what it's like to have BOMBS bursting in air! Fools!

[apextwin]

she's still a legend through my eyes

[MrSir48]

she has a beautiful voice

[mikebrowne]

landscape > portrait for video ... sigh

[gzussturbo]

I think it's time for a national anthem change. This song is boring as fuck, way too long, and no one can remember it!

[Lovemyselfidoes81]

Who cares if she messed it up? it's a Dumb song anyway, I mean everything about it Glorifies War and the Words in it don't even make sense like the line oh say does that star spangled banner ye'ett way WTF??? what kind of a word is ye'ett??

[Zerosk8pr0]

there always seems to be a new featured video about something bad an american did. haha.

[gdspam]

I think people mess up on this for publicity.

[smokes2006]

Ahhh, anyone can mess up those lyrics. It's not an easy song to sing. I still love Cyndi Lauper. She sounded fine to me and didn't butcher the song as some of the uploads are saying. I do like Carrie Underwood version too at the January 22, 2006 - Seattle Seahawks - at Qwest Field.

[Gibby123able]

Good God Women, Im From Canada And Can Sing This Song Corectly Backwards Underwater Beter Than You. She FKN high Id Say....

[zoxEmoRoXasxoz]

@Gibby123able Maybe, but you can't spell worth shit and don't know a fuck about grammar.

So she's probably smarter then you.

FYI... you're the one who sounds like a dumb stoner.

[drusbasement]

@zoxEmoRoXasxoz smarter than*

:)

[zoxEmoRoXasxoz]

@drusbasement That doesn't make a difference, considering you are trying trying to be an asshole and failing hard.

[eve92032]

She still wasn't as bad as Christina Aguillera. Cyndi only flubbed the one line. Christina sounded like she just came from a really good tailgate party. Even pros screw up! She is human just like you and me.

[N0elleLaBelle]

I don't know, I think messing up the lyrics is not that bad.. but listening to her as she sounds quite insecure is rather painful. to me at least. :-/

[celestialstar19]

Everyone can mess up! Do you make mistakes?! Majority of people are lucky to not have their mistakes recorded and critiqued on places like youtube. Our anthem is our pride, and the lyrics are not so easy for most people. Anyways, Cindy your singing continues to be amazing.

[BeastyMacaroni]

This is why you do not allow horrible singing blondes sing the anthem... Happens every time.

[zoxEmoRoXasxoz]

@BeastyMacaroni Are you a singer? Probably not.

[BeastyMacaroni]

@zoxEmoRoXasxoz Nope, I'm a music composer though, Are you a singer? Nope.

[zoxEmoRoXasxoz]

@BeastyMacaroni Actually yes, I am a singer. I know how difficult it is to sing.

Composing music is a job any moron can do.

[BeastyMacaroni]

@zoxEmoRoXasxoz So your saying right now that MUSIC you sing the people WHO MADE IT In which is USUALLY the singers are morons? Man your making fun of your favorite artists. shame shame my friend.

[zoxEmoRoXasxoz]

@BeastyMacaroni No, I said 'any moron can do it'. This means that 'anyone can do it because it's the most simple part of making music'. The fact that you must twist my words in order to come up with any insult whatsoever is very pathetic. Also, the fact that I need to explain everything I say to you is even more sad.

[TheTrebledSoul]

Instead of singing "were so gallantly streaming," Lauper said: "as our flag was still streaming."

[pPriitVv]

Can any american even sing the anthem? Every month there's a news or a video about how someone fks up the anthem.

[puntacanapuntacana]

where did she mess up??

[NeraFX]

@puntacanapuntacana: At the part where people boo at her, LOL.

[funkinstein]

@puntacanapuntacana around the 46 sec to 56 sec mark.

[wgfdhsgfhhdjf]

@puntacanapuntacana its around 0:55

[wgfdhsgfhhdjf]

@puntacanapuntacana its around 0:52

[OriginalBeauty88]

@puntacanapuntacana everywhere? lol

[Ringlord3434]

@puntacanapuntacana

the line "O'er the ramparts we watched" should have been followed by "Were so gallantly streaming" what she sang wasnt even anywhere near any of the lyrics in the song

[CrazyStephanie19]

@puntacanapuntacana when she said "flag was still streaming". it should be "gallantly streaming"...

[missunstoppable1000]

@puntacanapuntacana 0:56 if that helps

[cammiii333]

where did she mess up?

[ILYMTCfriends4eva]

@smwvikings44 I did that on purpose......I know a lot of people who have much worse grammar than I....SO HA yourself

[Maple2225]

@ Bradawick atleast we are the only well behaved and free continent...

[michalemell55556]

[9903kateyes]

Gay poop on the nigh- sure sounded like that to me--more rehearsal please--epic fuck up.

[CDALLWALL]

When she took the stage.

[ariisu9]

Please excuse my Canadian-ness, but where did she mess up?

[FlatMarble]

@ariisu9 If you can't see where she screwed up, then don't let the door hit your as* on the way back to Canada!!

[ariisu9]

@FlatMarble Ok, no need to be rude. I'm sorry I'm from Canada and don't know your national anthem o.o

[DontCloudMe]

Spent her whole life here, is a singer by trade, and still doesn't know our countries National Anthem...

[Ettoredipugnar]

Lou Albano was right when he called her " Loopy Lauper ".  But shes an artist . My Great Grandfather who came here from italy used to say. In america if you shit in the street people will applaude I think he was right.

[chessmassacre]

She gave poop through the night through her crappy singing.

[chessmassacre]

She's a feminist and they're ALL screwed up. What a stupid bitch. That includes all of you other feminists as well, you are all idiot bitches who suck government coc* to get ahead of men in life. Any embarrassment to feminism is a great day for me. I wish she would have fell and broke her back. Oh well, a guy can dream.

[astr2711]

I didn't hear it!

[happyshoppinglife]

Wow

[zero67439]

she must have pooped through the song she just sang lol

[air327inf]

fijianqtee at 0:53 , she missed a verse . madonnabiggestfan who cares? I care , its our nations anthem and if your going to sing it and honor our flag then do it right .

[Kristhor]

that's what usa deserves :)

[Sun6Tzu]

This performance does a good job in showing struggle She portrays the struggle of freedom in her manner of singing. Most other performances of the anthem portray triumph or victory. It's nice to see the same song sung in a different way.

[2cool4words]

THIS PATRIOT & Amazing artist put her Heart into singing the National Anthem ~ by the way she grew up in Queens New York . It was a very emotional event Could you have done it better.

And by the way she is a gift to modern music !

For some of the most wonderful singing ever check out her DVD Live at Last or watch any clip from that performance. In 1977, Lauper damaged her vocal cords and took a year off. She was told by three doctors that she would never sing again. Thank God for her Voice

[RoyMunsoned]

@2cool4words

still no excuse for fucking up the anthem. wtg wasting your time on that comment

[madonnabiggestfan]

And who cares ??? God, its just an anthem. 

[FijianQtee]

where did she mess up??? i am canadian

[LunarDesk]

omg did you see what she was wearing? i'm horny for that woman! lol

[xQueenKristinx]

If people are seriously offended by someone messing up the lyrics to the national anthem, they need to get the stick out of their butt and reassess their priorities.

[Fazelhoff]

The government is your pimp daddy and your a prostitute better give him his cut of the money

[itzamre2me]

Beautiful woman, beautiful voice, did something we have all done half a dozen times. She had enough respect for the country to continue with complete dignity.

[andyandcarl]

"HI GUYS I'M CANADIAN AND I'M PROUD OF MY IGNORANCE LOLOLOLOL DO I GET 89 THUMBS UP NOW?!"

Morons.

[schwarzess999]

@andyandcarl shut the fuck up.



[HBlackK]

@andyandcarl Soooo mad. Need a cuddle?

[xQueenKristinx]

@andyandcarl It's hardly "ignorant" to not know the nation anthem of a country you don't live in. Do you know Canada's nation anthem? Mexico's? France's? Sweden's? Probably not, and if you do, you're in the minority. Honestly, how self-important are you that you a) can't take a joke and b) expect people who don't even live in your country to know the words to a song that half the people living in the country don't even have memorized?

[andyandcarl]

@xQueenKristinx I know it's a joke, but it's a fucking stupid one. You don't see me going around parading the fact that I don't know something, do you?

[xQueenKristinx]

@andyandcarl It's about as important a "fact" as the difference between teal and turquoise. Hardly important and no one's gonna care or call you on it unless their panties are in a big butt-pinching bunch.

[andyandcarl]

@xQueenKristinx Kill yourself. Now.

[xQueenKristinx]

@andyandcarl You're an articulate one, aren'tcha?

[MaximillianZakes]

@xQueenKristinx You cannot compare that.

Yes, I don't know Mexico's national anthem, but she was scheduled to SING THE USA's national anthem. She had time to rehearse. Regardless of what your country of origin is, if you are scheduled to sing on national television the national anthem of that nation, YOU HAD BETTER BE READY AND HAVE IT MEMORIZED.

I'm sorry, you can make all the excuses for her you want, but there is no way to justify this kind of fuck-up, regardless of which anthem it was.

[xQueenKristinx]

@MaximillianZakes I was replying to another comment, not making a statement about the video itself.

[BTUpr0ductii0nz]

She actually said poop. Are you kidding me?

[OuttaLuck81]

O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming .. Is the line she plain as day butchered to hell. She said ... O'er the ramparts we watched, as our flag was still streaming.

It's not about "poop" or "proof". She clearly messed up early, which most you morons didn't even know.

[OuttaLuck81]

I don't know what's more sad ... this drag queen messing up the national anthem or the fact at 95 percent of the people making fun don't even know the lyrics themselves.

[MarilynGaga]

HAHA! OMG. I love her!

[12OclockLow]

"Our flag was still streaming" lol

I think that's the main mistake, but the poop is funny too.

[dsepisodes200011]

Huh? HELLO everyone

i am james salazar

youtber Hello!

or hello to everyone I have a video shown a young Filipino

ah well his talent. much to the rising of the Filipino

it his tittle of the video guys! Please search just this video on YouTube (((Filipino Amazing Human Beat Box))

salamt on reading the comment I repeat

BYE guys!

[BabyGirlWWEDiva]

Girls just wanna have fun!!

[PerfectDream1990]

she said proof not poop.. geez guys!

[TheApachebulldog]

I still like her,,, I always have,,, 'if shes not married,,, I'd take her on a date.. 'cause Ithink shes cute...

[xBeautyyyx]

Ok. It doesn't mean they didn't practice before. It's called stage fright. Everyone makes mistakes. Nobody's perfect. So get over yourself if you're saying she's horrible. None the less, she's the one up there singing.

[FIDTRO]

I don't know the American anthem (I'm not American), but what's the line supposed to be instead of poop lol

[xBeautyyyx]

@FIDTRO proof through the night

[definatelyinluv]

@FIDTRO "gave PROOF through the night"

[FIDTRO]

@definatelyinluv Oh ahahaha, thanks

[MrArgsnart]

press 5 for poop?

[bloodshade99]

@ 1:11 poop!!! lol

[JRCrowley]

Whatever.

[LiquidGib]

lol the words don't matter much. It's how it's sung, and she does a great job.

[ParkersPlaylist]

@LiquidGib

The words are the whole fucking purpose of it. Dumbfuck.

[LiquidGib]

@ParkersPlaylist that is a most unfortunate view on things. I pity those who have to deal with you on a regular basis.

[6xXxSHANExXx6]

Looks like her and Christina Aguilera have something in common.... Does any actual American singer know their own countries Anthem?

[dimestarr91]

@6xXxSHANExXx6 just cuz u saw christina mess up a few words you're actually gonna generalize ALL americans? Ignorant...

[6xXxSHANExXx6]

@dimestarr91 I did not generalize saying "no american seems to know their own National Anthem" I simply stated that the singers they have chosen thus far, dont know their lyrics and should rather research and prepare, or even already have known the proper lyrics before they agree to do the part.

[pingpongbro88]

f--a--i--l

[ThePikafunk]

cant expect much from americans. ALLAH is great.

[allbuttuna]

@ThePikafunk @ThePikafunk Ignorant sand cricket! Go blow yourself up.

[ThePikafunk]

@allbuttuna oh come on, dont be racist. even your president isnt white.
