What do our Canadian friends, and anyone else, think of this version of the Canadian National Anthem?

    Nelly Furtado can't sing, never thought she could. Won't listen out of respect for my anthem.

    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    I don't blame you as it's pretty bad.

    Yikes I didn't make it all the way through. It was bad right from the moment she started singing. She won a Grammy?? How?

    Absolutely terrible, out of tune, and not actually our national anthem, lol. Close but no cigar! :tongue:

    I know i'm not Canadian, but at first i thought she was singing a different song altogether at the start of the Anthem. I know here in the States, especially back in the day of the Broad Street Bullies, AKA: Philadelphia Flyers, they would play Kate Smith's God Bless America. I thought Nelly was singing something different then Oh, Canada. Either way she was terrible, and that's ashame as Oh, Canada is a great Anthem.

    Just a sad performance. It's not YOUR FUCKING SONG it's OUR fucking song so sing that shit like we've been signing it since the beginning of the Tyrannosaurus REX BITCH! (who am I calling bitch? One will never know, because of my sentence structure.)

    That sucked so much tuna bone.

    According to my sister who went to high school with her, this would be an accurate description.
