Any other musicians in the house?
If you don't play music, you might not realize that any song can be played in any of 12 different keys. If I was the sound man here, I would have done the same thing and just shut off the music and let her sing in the key she learned to sing it in.
Listening to this for the first time, I could tell that she was in a key quite a distance away from the key on the soundtrack. The mistake made was in providing a standard recording of the national anthem, without asking, "Oh, and what key will you be performing this in?"
The Star-Spangled Banner can be challenging for most singers because of the range required for the low notes and the high notes. For this reason, the song is usually tailored to the range of the singer by choosing a suitable key to perform it in. They failed on that step.
Came here just to say exactly what you did. Funny how these difficulties always seem to happen when it involves Trump or exposing the DS/commiecrats...
Yep. Remember his campaign stop the first time around. The PA started cutting out. Trump said something along the lines of "maybe I shouldn't pay them" talking about the company he rented from. He knows
As a contralto, I always have to find a new range, sometimes by two octaves lower. Trying to find your key in a competing key is difficult if you're not used to adjusting by octaves. And, bless her. That was courageous. (Her voice won't last though if she continues to use her vocal chords and not her diaphragm for crescendos)
Ok…I watched it. She is just an average citizen singing the anthem with great zeal. She is evidently….sorry to sound harsh because I’m VERY proud of her….not an accomplished singer. Her patriotism is beautiful!
I wonder if they didn't set up or turn on monitor speakers for her.
Usually vocalists need a monitor facing them to hear the background and themselves. If they wait to sing until the sound the crowd hears reaches their ears, they'll be out of sync with the background, plus it gets hard to hear your own pitch when the sound has to bounce around the venue.
It almost sounds like she couldn't hear the background music and just tried to wing it as best she could until they shut it off.
My understanding is the monitors musicians need end up being a distraction for speakers so normally they aren't set up for speeches.
The music was fine, and she was fine, they were just in entirely different keys. That's the fault of whoever coordinated this performance.
Which key will we be in, said no one?
I just checked the pitches. The music started out in G-sharp, but from the start, she heard it the way she rehearsed it, in F natural.
Those two keys are a minor third apart, and in entirely different families. They clash horribly together! But she's a solid singer and stayed within F natural, which would make the highest notes much easier to reach.
She may have had a recording of it performed in F natural, and practice to that a thousand times. Once you've done that, your vocal chords just know how tight to be.

I was going to say this. Glad I read comments first. She did just fine without the music. I wonder if she had monitors?
"Technical difficulties"
Batteries were low in the boom box I guess. I Ruined many casset tapes with low batteries back in the day.

It's possible. They need all of the distractions that they can get.
SW lower Michigan myself. Hello neighbor!

Honestly she did way better when the music stopped. Beautiful voice.
Hey, why did you delete and repost?
OK don't make a habit of it fren. Mods are watching and it counts as a duplicate!
That's serious bravery she has there!

Guess I was wrong, they all waited until the end. Trump crowds have more discipline.
