    Whatever you do, do not, under any circumstances, click the Play button on the video. Trust me, you'll hate yourself immediately if you do click it..

    Worse.. It's like scratching nails on the blackboard, then putting your head through it.. Let's put it this way.. I muted her as soon as she started to sing, but didn't change the channel.. It was painful just watching her sing the song. Even worse was the WTF look on the face of the players whenever they did a close up on them.

    Indeed. And her parents should be ashamed of themselves for putting her in that position. I'm all for letting your kids pursue their dreams, but at some point you need to sit them down and tell them that maybe they should pursue one of their other dreams and not let them go on national TV and embarrass themselves like that.

    She can actually sing.

    I tend to believe her parents that the echo and crowd noise destroyed her from the get go.

    Whatever happened to singing the anthem the way it is meant to be sung? Fukking amateurs want to be Whitney Houston circa Super Bowl 1992.

    I wish we would get rid of having people sing it . . .just play the music and get the crowd to proudly sing.

    Please, that is a bunch of BS. There were no vuvuzelas and no crowd noise. She practiced earlier in the day to get used to the speakers as well. This is FCD, quietest fans in MLS.

    She has every right to persue her dreams of singing, but the national anthem should not be used to showcase her talent.

    I think Philly Union does it. I could be wrong, but that is the way it should be done. By the audience, not some wannabe American Idol taking her talents to Hollywood crap.

    Seriously, it's as if her parents think that there isn't video of her performance on the internet to refute such nonsense.

    Crap I forgot it was in Dallas.

    Hey I was just pointing you to her website. You can draw your own conclusion. I frankly don't care.

    I got ya, wasn't directed at you. I was only pointing out the notion of her not being able to sing wasn't because of crowd noise.

    When they announced "11 year old singer/songwriter" I braced myself for badness. I still wasn't prepared for this 3 minute massacre of our National Anthem.

    No stage parents involved I'm sure.
