Indie artist Loomis claimed she didn’t know when her explicitly charged mistake during the national anthem would go live.

Loomis, the daughter of a veteran, was invited to sing the national anthem at Wednesday’s Free & Equal Elections presidential debate between three independent candidates.

While she took a high note on the lyrics “and the red rocket glow” in the first verse at a time now viral, her voice betrayed and broke terribly, making the singer exclaim: “I gave the damn . , God damn it, can I go, can I come back, please?’

After being told the debate was “live”, she immediately returned to the anthem before interjecting seconds later: “I got too nervous” before finishing strongly.

“I do sing, I’m a good singer,” she defended herself TMZ on Friday, saying he only had to practice the day before.

Loomis also explained that she started her performance too early in the debate and the producer yelled at her that they weren’t ready yet, so she was under the impression that they would be able to re-record the show if needed.

As Loomis reached for a high note on the lines “and the rocket’s red glow” in the first verse in a now-viral moment, her voice betrayed her and broke horribly, prompting the singer to exclaim, “L- I gave a damn. , God damn it, can I go, can I come back, please?’

After being told the debate was “live”, she immediately returned to the anthem before interjecting seconds later: “I got too nervous” before finishing strongly.

“Ever since I was little, I’ve always said I don’t want to sing the national anthem, it’s like the scariest thing for me ever,” she told the tabloid. “I’m the daughter of a veteran.” So dad, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to spoil the national anthem.

She said she became “nervous” and “scared” and it got the best of her.

“Everybody stands up seriously,” she said. – Everyone is quiet. It’s scary,’ explained the singer, who has an average of 120 listeners a month.

“It’s so serious, it’s not like your own show when you get to be yourself or express yourself. It’s like you’re dressing for the whole nation.

Despite the mistake, Loomis said he still “sang really well.”

She also revealed that Good Morning America asked her to sing the national anthem again and she agreed. She also said that she will have time to train before her next performance.

Loomis, the daughter of a veteran, was invited to sing the national anthem at Wednesday’s free and fair presidential debate between three independent candidates.

Loomis also explained that she started her performance too early in the debate and the producer yelled at her that they weren’t ready yet, so she was under the impression that they would be able to re-record the show if needed.

The singer also released an impromptu performance of the parts she got wrong to show her fans and haters that she can hit the notes and reminded people that “imperfections are also the parts people feel the most connected to “.

“I want to let every singer know that sometimes you can fail, you can hit the wrong note, you can do anything, but you’re still bad,” she concluded.

Loomis isn’t the first singer to ruin the Star-Spangled Banner, as Fergie did in 2018 during an NBA All-Star Game, as players were caught trying to stifle their laughter.

To this day, Fergie’s performance is still considered the worst performance of all time.
