Canadian audience help finish the US Anthem after the singer’s mic broke

This is just beautiful. The idea that Canadians are rude all the time is true. Michelle Madeira sang the national anthems of both countries before Tuesday’s game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Nashville Predators. But in the middle of “The Star-Spangled Banner,” her microphone stopped working. What happened next was as sweet and pure as a new-born deer. 

The Canadians in the stadium finished singing the rest of the American national anthem. Luckily, a fan got a picture of the amazing moment on his phone, so everyone could see it. Alexis Normand won’t make the same mistake twice, whether it was due to nerves, a last-minute scheduling conflict, or the fact that she is Canadian. When Normand agrees to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” in front of a big crowd and people all over the world, she will learn every word.

“I feel ashamed and sorry very much. I wish I could have had more time to learn the national anthem by heart.” Normand, who was the special guest performer at a Memorial Cup hockey game in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, tweeted on Sunday that his performance of the American national anthem was one of the worst ever. When Normand forgot the words to the song after only a few lines, the crowd laughed, booed, and even saw a few smiles from the hockey players on the ice. When ABCNews.com asked Normand for a comment, he did not give one.

Before she spoke, Normand quickly smiled and gathered herself, only to mix up the words again. She finally gave up and only sang the parts of the song she knew. At the end, a big group of hockey fans from both Canada and the United States helped her finish the song.

“Thank you so much to everyone who helped! memorial cup, “Roger sent tweets.The singer, who went to the University of Ottawa to study music and education and graduated in 2007, got a lot of bad press after videos of Normand’s bad day off the ice spread quickly on the Internet. “There’s no doubt that the last 24 hours have been hard!” Thank you to everyone who sent words of support! She tweeted all night Sunday, “I also feel bad for people who have been cyberbullied.” Normand says that her bad performance was caused by anxiety and a last-minute change in the schedule. She told the publication, “I was asked Saturday morning, and I said yes.” I’m good at picking up new things quickly, and I’ve been learning songs for a long time. Even though I knew all the words, my anxiety won in the end, and everything went downhill from there.”

When you go to a sports game in Canada, the crowd almost always sings along with the singer of the national anthem. You might not think that something similar would happen in the U.S. When there were problems with the technology at a hockey game, amazing things started to happen. During an NHL game in Detroit, when the singer’s microphone broke, fans sang the national anthem. Before the puck dropped at the January 7 game between the Detroit Red Wings and the Montreal Canadiens, the microphone for the person singing “O Canada” broke.
