The Star-Spangled Asshole.

Background: There is a video on YouTube called “THE WORST NATIONAL ANTHEM OF ALL TIME”, featuring a high school student who completely bombs the national anthem. Her performance is truly unlistenable. That girl was me. The conversations may be a bit hard to follow because I often held multiple conversations with different people at the same time. I tried to split it up in the most ergonomic way possible.

The original post:

Me: This was me singing, and I just want to say you guys are a bunch of assholes and I hate you all. Everyone loved my performance and it was spot on. If it was so bad, why was everyone cheering so loudly?

A few initial responses:

billybatson55: LOL to over shadow your horrible singing you cumdumpster

SOCOM24LIFE: it was almost as bad as rosanne's version.....

carmenj: They were making fun of you!

Me: Bullshit. You're all just fucking jealous.

Conversation with rlebovits: 

rlebovits: You really think this was "spot on"??!!??? I'm sorry, but this is disgraceful. People cheered to make you feel good. You cannot expect people here to do the same.

Me: Haha, yeah right. You know, one week from my performance, the student council voted to award me a place in the student hall of fame for Best Star-Spangled Banner Rendition in Castro Valley High history? What, you think they're just trying to make me feel better, too? Haha, just further proof that everyone here is PURELY jealous.

rlebovits: Actually, if they really voted for that, then everyone else must suck worse. I'm sorry, and I'm really not trying to be mean here, but this is absolutely awful.

Me: You're just jealous of my abilities. Can YOU sing as well as I can? I'd like to see you try to get that many people to cheer for you.

rlebovits: I'm in no way jealous of anything you did here. Your voice is ok, but you massacre the song completely. And if you seriously think that this is good in any way, shape, or form, well, then, you're delusional. I will give you kudos for the same reason people cheered for you: regardless of how it sounds, it is difficult to get up in front of that many people and do anything. Lot's of people don't have the guts to do it. But it sounds terrible. I'm sorry, but it really does.

Conversation with GoPatriots100:

GoPatriots100: I'm a REAL musician and sure, they cheered, not because it was good, but because it was hilarious. you changed keys about 8 times. funny, but musically disgusting xD

Me: Oh? A "REAL" musician? A "REAL" musician would understand that my performance was flawless. The entire crowd was obviously full of people who TRULY understand good music. So next time you want to be a "REAL" condescending dick, get your facts straight.

GoPatriots100: you didn't STAY ON KEY. I've got nothing against you personally but its a fact. You changed keys after like every phrase, and on "rockets red glare" you obviously couldn't quite reach it, oh and to FIND THIS VIDEO, you'd HAVE TO LOOK UP "National Anthem FAIL" so obviously you knew, or someone told you like it is. But thanks for the laughs!

Me: And I'll have you know, the student council decided to award me a spot in the Castro Valley High Student Hall of Fame for my, AND I QUOTE, "Stellar and heart-warming performance"

Me: "oh and to FIND THIS VIDEO, you'd HAVE TO LOOK UP "National Anthem FAIL" so obviously you knew, or someone told you like it is. But thanks for the laughs!"

Considering I'm not the one who uploaded this, your logic is completely and utterly flawed. Are you completely stupid? I could upload a Beatles song and call it "WORST SONG EVER RECORDED!!!" Does that mean the Beatles "obviously knew," or told someone it's the worst song ever recorded? YOU'RE A FREAKIN MORON!

Conversation with MusicXXLover123:

MusicXXLover123: sorry, but u were a lil off pitch. i loved that you did it, cause i would def hav had trouble gettin up infront of everyone! but still! u hav to kno that u were off a LITTLE!

Me: Nope, sorry. I even showed this to my voice teacher (at JULIARD, I'll have you know), and she was in tears at how beautiful it was.

MusicXXLover123: hey! im not tryin to start anything i swear. but im gonna stand by my beliefs and you can stand by yours. i think you were off, you think you were pitch perfect. leave it at that. and a lil tip: TAKE the criticism and DEAL!

Me:  I take criticism when the criticism is valid.  However, this performance was just flawless. I've watched it over 600 times, and I have yet to find a single sour note. There is a reason I was voted "Most Likely to Become a Professional Singer" in the yearbook poll.

MusicXXLover123: wow. cant you hear the ppl booing you in the back?! and the title of the vid rings loud and clear. btw--> 0:11 0:50 1:34 to 1:44 .

ALL SOUR POINTS! and making your voice go up and down like that makes it sound even worse. ur also a little nasal!

Me: People often boo out of jealousy. I've gotten used to it. I've won more awards for my performances than you've seen in your life. Also it's called STYLISTIC VIBRATO. Maybe if you knew anything about music, you would have understood that.

MusicXXLover123: i know what it is. that's just NOT it. i know about music and i've seen great people sing on stage, like Rinetta Manager! she's fantastic and you are NOTHING compared to her. get that through your head or you wont go anywhere in life.

P.S. ppl dont boo out of jealousy. they boo bacause they hate the performance AND the performer.

Me: Well hey listen, if you want to be a communist bastard who hates the United States and hates our National Anthem, then by all means, go ahead. Why don't you just move to the Soviet Union, Vodka Drunkinski?! Everyone loved my performance (except for the AT MOST, THREE people in the crowd who booed out of jealousy) Also, I happen to know who Rinetta Manager is, and I must say she is awful compared to me. She has no flare and sounds like a dying cow.

Conversation with BowTiesareCool12:

BowTiesareCool12: you are soooo full of your self!!!!!! YOU SUCKED!

Me: I wowed everyone in my school that night. Hence the award I received for my performance. I think it's hilarious and almost sad that you're jealous of my abilities. Why don't you get a hobby, loser?

you cant sing and i have many hobbies why dont you find one your good at :)

BowTiesareCool12: i think its hilarious that you think anyone could be jealous - oh yes i'm very jealous of the fact 

Me:  I'm glad you think so. You are so disreputable and so unbelievably bad at everything you do, that your condemnation actually acts as positive reinforcement. I thank you for your compliment, and will continue to WOW audiences as I have been doing since I was 1 year old.

BowTiesareCool12: bad at everything i do.. wow you dont even know me- if ur talking about the TWO videos i have on my account that i know are bad cuz i dont have good editing sortware on my laptop then ok owww that hurts so much. and you dont wow anyone :D

Conversation with ChiefBanj0:

ChiefBanj0: how stupid are you?! you got voted in the top ten worst national anthems by time magazine! dont tell me your good!

Me:  Haha, and don't act jealous. Time Magazine personally sent me a letter telling me how jealous they were of my performance. That's what it all boils down to. "Wahhhh I can't sing as well as she can, I think I'll make her look bad by putting her in my crappy magazine no one reads!" Haha I swear, you guys should all get lives and stop being jealous of my talents. You have your own talents I'm sure.

Conversation with azumi149:

azumi149: Stop sounding so cocky. We all know, and I bet all the people during that performance knew, that the singer (you, if it was you), did a horrible performance.

Me: Haha. Apparently you are yet another little shit who doesn't know a thing about REAL performance. Do yourself a favor and leave music to the talent such as My self. You're just embarrassing your self.

azumi149: Well, it might be true that I don't know what a real performance is, but what I DO KNOW, and I'm sure as hell about it, is that yours was still horrible, no matter what you say.

Me: Haha, well enjoy being wrong. Let me know once you've studied Vocal Performance and Music Theory as extensively as I have (14 years, I'll have you know). Then maybe you will understand the beauty of my interpretation. But honestly, I don't see much potential in you. You'll probably never understand like I do, sadly.

azumi149: Right. Continue deceiving yourself. That's what pathetic people do anyway. And btw, I think you reply to our comments just to get your stupid video more views. Well, you know what, I'm gonna click the dislike button whenever I enter this video. Kthnxbai

Me: Haha, well thanks for informing me of why there are so many dislikes to begin with! It's jealous little shits like you who dislike my video over and over again. See the 139 likes? Those are people who actually understand music. I bet the 63 dislikes came from one or two people like you who are jealous and have NO LIVES! You probably clicked it over and over again because you're JEALOUS. So thank you for informing me!
