Cyndi Lauper Sings National Anthem
Cyndi Lauper is the latest artist to botch our National Anthem by forgetting the lyrics in the middle of her performance. Lauper was singing “The Star Spangled Banner”for the opening of the US Open semi finals and was part of a 9/11 tribute. If you watch the video below from YouTube, you will see her say “as our flag was still streaming” where she should have said “were so gallantly streaming”. Yahoo sports reported this first and it quickly went viral on twitter. People are attacking Lauper on twitter like a stamped of cattle and some are way over the top. This is not the first time this year that a famous singer has botched the National Anthem as Christina Aquilera botched the song in almost the exact same spot at the opening of this year’s Super Bowl. Everybody is human and makes mistakes. Cyndi Lauper just happened to make a big one in front of a lot of people. The video below is courtesy of You Tube and the image at left was taken from the video.
