Please try againWhile singing the country’s anthem, ‘O Canada’, Black changed one word of the lyrics, belting out “our home on native land” instead of “our home and native land,” a reference to the country’s history of expropriation of Indigenous people.
well hope she never returns , O Canada 🍁 leave it alone everytime we give you a chance , you spit on us , Why?
It’s hard to get good help, everyone’s a spokesperson for their own agenda🇨🇦
I remember the controversy when the government changed all thy sons to all of us. That was dumb, but at least it came from the senate. Most of us thought they should stay in their lane, but who the hell is Jully Black, and how does she think shes in a position to make that call?
Why don't they attack the Star Spangled Banner. This is all misdirection anyways. Biden is pushing to get a nuclear war started. The Rich Elites have fall out shelters that can sustain them for months. We will all pay with our lives over someone else's decision.
Disgraceful
disgusting what she chose to do go back to your country Canada sure is not your country
Who is Jully black. Some insignificant American.Ban her
How would this go down in USA? Next I suspect she will be invited to sing this in Canada at the next Hockey/Baseball/Basketball game. The times they are a changing. Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave, O'er the land of the free ON the home of NATIVE LANDS?
Stop supporting these entertainers we the people are making them rich so they can pull their BS
First time I’ve ever heard of her, hopefully the last. No more anthem singing for her.
NBA should be charged with defacing a nation anthem…. It is disgraceful and inappropriate
JullyBlack chi miigwech, a big thank you in my language, which, has been heard on this land long before contact & any of the words below. Tune out the noise of bots & subtle (and not so subtle) racists and know that your action was appreciated and mattered. So do you. Allies
Who?
Disgraceful
How dare she. It's like everyone think they can re-write history nowadays.
ALL THY SONS COMMAND. Since you guys are changing it.. then so will we. Back to what it should be.
Disgusting..not a 'small change'
Meh, 🏀 is a dumb game until the last 2 minutes if it's a close game. Hahah
As much as I don’t mind the small change. The lyrics of our National Anthem should not be changed by every Tom, Dick or Jully to make a point. The National anthem is all of ours. Not just hers.
She should stick to singing thong song
joe_warmington Lmao at the seals clapping for her
Who cares. The song is going to be butchered in the next few years. And the Liberals will let it happen because thats what they are all about. Give up. The worlds currupt.
Pump the brakes on that one
Who the hell is 'Jully Black'. Never heard of him before.
joe_warmington Does everything have to be a political statement with far left extremists.
She should be immediately canceled.. just like Remigio Pereira of the Tenors was when he changed the lyrics to O Canada at the MLB All Star game in 2016.
It was an awful performance but it was a performance for herself
Shouldn't be allowed to sing again then.
Cancel her now
Who does she think she is making her own anthem. She should never be allowed again.
Shameful.
Who?
Wokeism in full display…
She was out of tune.
it's the NBA so....who gives a sh&t
Rollie Flick is really not a great singer. Oh, it's Jully Black? Sorry I just made a small change.
Yeah, next time mute the mic 🎤
Then it’s not actually the national anthem
Nope sing it as is or not at all...all performers should be made to sing it as is .
😄 Got to wonder: 1) if this was just a faux pas in the moment, and 'became' intentional w/ the positive response, or 2) this was intentional but only to gain publicity - can't recall ever hearing anything about her for years before this.
Oh good grief … why do liberal, left wing “woke” activists feel that they are actually accomplishing some good by changing something that they did NOT create in the first place? Why 🤔 🤮
She sucks
She is a low talent hack who did this just to be noticed! Pathetic loser!
joe_warmington F*ck JullyBlack !!!
Wexit
The French version NEVER gets changed - not that Québécois sing the thing
What an awful awful woman. Absolute disgrace.
Sing whatever damn words y’all want . Not my anthem . I’ll never sing it . Her version is 4th in my life time. Get the Commie Red Maple Leaf Flag out of West as well . Wexit
joe_warmington How come nobody ever changes words for USA version? My sister-in-law is asking she lives in Oklahoma.
I was born here. So this doesn't affect me at all. But sing the damn lyrics as they are written.
A washed up somewhat singer is getting exactly what she wants by screwing up the national anthem, people talking about her, good or bad it’s press when no one knew who she was before this. Everyone should laugh at her
joe_warmington Shame on her. Totally unacceptable.
disgrace ban If you can't sing don't
blackstupidity
Just more demands for white guilt. If people are so upset by the settling of Canada, they are free to leave (as long as they're vaccinated).
disgraceful! She did not sing the anthem … sick of these entitled leftist changing everything
Cry some more it should be on native land not whatever yall want to think ot is
Does she want to pay taxes to the “ natives” ? Or immigrate to one of their little nations ?
She had no right to do so.
Career …….over .
Another one with a big mouth yet loves it here, living the dream. Yet they want to be like us, why does she have blonde hair just like myself?
She's an embarrassment. This was the most cringeworthy display on Canadian television in a long time.
Never heard of her...and hope to never hear from her again. WokeLiberal JullyBlack
Changing the lyrics is disrespectful. Her performance was abysmal.
Jully who🤷♂️
Jully Black is a pain. She craves publicity. She had one minor hit years ago & nothing since. Big chip on her shoulder always. It’s not up to her to “change” the national anthem. And she’s uneducated on aboriginal law & the constitution. Most Ontario land is under Treaty & ceded
Leftists get to change the lyrics whenever they want. Just ask the Trudeau boys.
If she made a 'small change' to O Canada, then she did not sing O Canada.
Another uppity woke radical b*tch
Someone should tell Ms. Black it’s not her call to change the words to the National Anthem at any time!!!
Never heard of this broad who desecrated Our National Anthem but Never desecrate our flag or our anthem.
Then it’s just a song . Not our national anthem
Arrogant ignoramus.
Tell her she has to read this book to get paid
Embarrassing the country. Disgraceful.
She should never perform our national anthem anywhere again!
Totally fucking disgraceful!!!! 😤 nobody has the right to change our anthem for their own personal agenda Trudeau as well !
It's 'home AND native land', and 'all thy SONS command'. Period. Some Wokerista making up her own lyrics doesn't change that fact.
I knew this cow would screw it up. What a FAILURE! sad
