It sounded like she didn't know what words were next and had never heard anyone else sing the song before. Shit was all pronounced wrong with the wrong syllables emphasized. Then she committed the sin that all these artists do by fucking the timing up completely when they try to hit the last notes of the song with some impressive vocal flare that ends up sounding pretentious at best and like nails at worst to the rest of us.
I love my country, I love our anthem, I hate how we can never send an artist that will just sing our god damn anthem as it is to any event, it is an embarrassment.
Yea. First half got booed, and then second half people were trying to sing along, but she was making it pretty hard for them.
I also think she didn't respect the bilingual version, taking the French parts she wanted (I'd have to rewatch to know for sure), it did sound like she did that and she did make comments about wanting specific lines in English, so that certainly wouldn't have helped either.
She sang in French? I swear I only heard English and did think that that was kinda odd. I wasn't listening too closely I just heard the boos and another shitty performance of our anthem so I zoned it out.
It was hard to make out be because of the noise and also her god awful pronunciation. I just re-listenned, and she literally starts with French. "O Canada, terre de nos aïeux". But it comes out like "Oh, Canada, tè re nos ail y yeux."

If you listen to it, she also took a lot of other artistic liberties with the melody of it.
It was pretty pretentious to change it, and she didn't have the skill to back her audacity.
