millbank Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Canada and U.S.A played a tuneup game tonight for hockey world championships interesting happenings before game as singer attempted national anthem from notes NOTES - The pre-game national anthems were not sung after the singer, Caroline Marcil of Montreal, tried twice to complete the Star Spangled Banner but forgot the words each time. Finally, she decided to go back toward the dressing room, presumably to get the words, but when she returned to the ice the carpet slipped out from underneath her and she fell on her rear end. It was then decided to proceed with the opening faceoff without the singing of either anthem . . . hockey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The key it's sung in (the words were plopped into an old English drinking tune) doesn't help the flow. To say nothing of the nervous pressure singing before 20K+ people. Try it sometime and see how you do. It's for this reason I don't judge. But they should have gotten someone else to sing them in her stead.

aussiew Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I saw her interview last night. She was very embarrassed. She is French, from Quebec and has a beautiful voice. She said it was a combination of nerves and crowd noise. Then when she returned and slipped on the ice, she was just too shaken to go back out there. I feel sorry for her. It was a very ungraceful fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I saw the video clip on the news tonight, and all I could think of was Leslie Nielsen as opera singer Enrico Pallazzi, singing the national anthem at a baseball game. A part of one of the funniest scenes ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
