National anthem singer flubs lyrics at World Series opener

With players and staff lined up on the field for the traditional pre-game ceremony, and a giant American flag unfurled across the outfield, the Black Pumas band leader went off track on the second line. He sang: "What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last streaming" instead of "gleaming."

He continued correctly with: "Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight." But then, instead of "O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming?" he backtracked to "What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last" before again singing "streaming" instead of "gleaming."

Burton then picked up correctly with "And the rocket’s red glare, the bomb bursting in air" and finished uneventfully.Latest News

I thought Fergie said “the flowers the flowers” in her song glamorous when she is actually saying “the flossy flossy”. I think flowers are more glamorous than dental floss so I still say flowers

that's sad.even a canadian sang for the series and got it right 😍

Are we sure he forgot and it wasnt on purpose. Sad a high school game got Trace Adkins and we got this.

You had one job…🤷🏻‍♂️

Who?

He probably thought that screwing up the lyrics was a better way to show protest than kneeling……

Who cares? 🤷🏻‍♀️

National anthem singer flubs lyrics at World Series openerGrammy-nominated singer Eric Burton lost track of the lyrics during 'The Star-Spangled Banner” before the World Series opener. He twice sang the line “What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last streaming” and sang it incorrectly both times. 💁‍♀️🇺🇸 He should have gone to the last Trump Rally. The crowd sang it perfectly. I’m wondering if it really matters?
