"ALL keys matter."
HAHAHA HAHAHA HAHAHA!!!
Lots of funny comments on here Chris (thanks folks) - but yours is the wittiest!
Oh my GOODNESS
no key left behind
“What key is this in?”
“F Demented.”
Grinnn
I laughed out loud!!!
😂
"B diminished"
She’s doing that bad church singing. There’s always that one person who’s the definition of tone deaf, who thinks they’re up on that stage tearing it up and it sounds like they’re killing a cat
I thought so initially but he actually arranged the song in all those key changes.
@@cascadegirl4669 naw, girl.
He's playing along after transcribing this disaster into some sort of musical order.
She sang it A Cappella.
Now you have a word to Google!
poor cat xD
Hahahaha 😂
Yes 🤣🤣🤣🤣💯
The fact that she could modulate so seamlessly between keys without any reference music is astounding.
Your comment made me laugh out loud. In a good way
Its like just picking random words to make a sentence... Kind of like their leader...
Modulating I think is a generous word to use in this case.
She changed keys no less than 15 times.
Even for a professional singer it wouldn't be easy to sing it like her.
Actually I find this hm, version somehow quite interesting and modern. Especially with the piano accompanying.
She wasn’t just changing keys but switching back and forth between modes and chord qualities. I have a masters in music and I’ve never heard anything like this. I think she just invented her own music theory.
Ya the make your listeners ears bleed theory. It's sounds terrible.
Microtonality too!
I would not expect anything less from someone singing at CPAC. They know nothing of quality or the arts. Normally, I don't ciritize someone's singing on RUclips comments. But, this is just awful, awful, awful. And they could have had a better arrangement for the piano accompaniment too. She is probably a relative of one of the major CPAC donors, so they may have been bound to have her sing.
I think I counted 24 key changes... did you?
@@pencildragon1961 hahahahaha 😂
What a perfect musical metaphor for this event.
Hahaha very witty, you said it better than the other thousands of the same comment
@@extremelynormalperson You seem quite upset responding to all these comments. It's okay to be embarrassed.
@@lordmashie yeah that's true
Musical Metaphor for the GOP.
LMFAO so true ..... SO MESSED UP AND GOP TONE DEAF!
Stop cutting funds for school music programs.
Exactly, it's going to solve the public singing crisis.
For God's sake
truth!!!
LOL!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
"What key will you sing it in?"
"Yes."
"All of them!"
😆😆😆😆😆😆🙂🤘 WTF ...
@@Jon651 LOL
Jazz
"How many you got?"
She's probably thinking "It sounded better in the shower".
He nailed every note. She nailed her career into the coffin.
She is a music student. Not graduate.
'Every note' like 'every note on the keyboard'?
@@chukwudiilozue9171 one must at least not be tone-deaf before becoming a music student
Reminds me of a Calvin Coolidge anecdote after a woman sang the national anthem badly, someone asked Coolidge what he thought of the singer's execution and he said, "I'm all for it."
Great anecdote. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Kirke182 That made me laugh, thanks.
Conservative politicians: "I don't think the arts are a necessary thing in schools, I mean, if we remove them, what's the worst that could happen?" Took a while to get an answer, but we did.
Pure insanity.
SPENCE! I expected no less from you! LOL Spot on, my friend!
hahhaha best comment, you win
Luckily, they were replaced with these quality classes-
Noah's Ark: A totally real thing that happened
Why America is the best at everything
Poor people: Are they even trying?
Why God hates you
@@trybunt Hey, I took all those classes back in the 80's in Catholic school!
That was scarrryyyyyy...She meant that....She had enough keys to unlock every door in the land of the freeee Eeeeeee
That really made me LOL!
I am DYING!!!
You win.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Almost make Yoko Ono look talented. Almost.
It sounds like someone was trying to sing every version of the National Anthem simultaneously while getting stabbed by needles every few seconds and having their arms twisted and fingers crushed
When your party doesn't fund the arts...this is what you get...
Brilliant comment!!!
😆😆😆😆😆
🤣🤣
You get the National Anthem meets _The Munsters_
Absolutely!
Saying that she sang off-key is assuming she had a key in mind to begin with.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
funny enough she ended on the key she started with
Best comment ever! 🤣🤣🤣
@@jeremypcleung I call that both genius and photographic memory.
Q, duh.
My mom taught me that if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. That was some brilliant piano work.
😅🤣
That was a brilliant comment. LOL This whole video and comments made me laugh.
Holy hell! This gives conservative tone-deafness a literal meaning...
Nice! Which one of the 63849 exact same comments did you copy?
Absolutely! Tone deaf they are.
@@carolinedinardo898 thanks to your whining!
@Different People just like every liberal 💪🇺🇸
@@extremelynormalperson Sick burn. Did you come up with it yourself or did your bratty ten year old cousin teach it to you?
This is hysterically funny. It's obvious they didn't audition her in advance.
I sort of doubt any rehearsal would have helped this singer.
Nah, they DID audition her and thought she was great. Want proof? Just listen to the applause and yells she got. The Butcher of Song was in the right place at the right time for the right tone deaf crowd of CPAC.
@@Marathonracer To be fair to the crowd, I clap at live performances whether it's the second coming of Pavarotti or a cat being murdered slowly with a corkscrew. The sheer awkward rudeness of sitting silently not clapping is worse than lying. It's like watching a train crash in slow motion if the train was sentient and didn't know it was crashing and thought it was doing a great job and then the train want's to know what you think of it's performance. ugh.
@@mayaenglish5424 A decibel meter on the "polite " applause" and whoops and hollers supports the tone deaf theory of CPAC - no surprise there. To be fair to reality, this ain't no damn concert, that's for sure! ugh
Wtf is she even doing there, trying to sing at all? Visions of throwing tomatoes at her come to mind - sentient tomatoes screaming "INCOMING" !
That’s what you think. She’s PERFECT. 🌟
don't think I'd hire the singer, but the pianist, He's a lock! That accompaniment is amazing!
Absolutely in line with what CPAC represents, wrong people for the job.
Buahahahahahaha, i almost choked on my drink
This hit it for me! 😅
Definitely. Conservatives are weak nowadays, we need more representatives with balls to GTFO these dems
@Thang Pi 👍🇺🇸
So true
What is absolutely ASTOUNDING about this performance is that she actually winds up on the same key she started with.
That's a very good point. I hadn't noticed that before. Mind you, one of the trickier keys you can choose for an accompanist: 6 flats or 6 sharps, depending on your point of view.
She ran through all the other keys, so that brought her back to her first one again.
She practiced that
Not really, she end on G major, she started on F major
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
This young woman must have trained with Florence Foster Jenkins. Brandon Etheridge has an amazing ear and transposing skill to be able to follow her!
Hurray for Brandon E. ... he's super talented! But even his gifted accompaniment could not erase the horrible memory of her singing ... I kept wishing it was Lady Gaga singing her wonderful rendition of The Star Spangled Banner! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Frankly, any competent musician could listen to her singing and transpose an accompaniment to it (not trying to diss Brandon, just sayin')
@@buffalospirits No, because your inner musical ear of tonal decorum is fighting with all its being against what your outer ear is telling you. Btw I think you mean "transcribe" and not "transpose" ?
----------------------------------
_EDIT: Sorry, I get your point now about "transpose": play a _*_set accompaniment_*_ and appropriately transpose when the singer goes off-key._
_My default is to accompany by ear. That is where for me, and maybe for Brandon too, in a surreal situation like this the conflict between the inner and outer ear would become so problematic_ 😉.
Just shows her sheer 'brilliance' when it takes trained musicians to do it 😂
I was going to say, "OMG! Reincarnation really happens! That's the reincarnation of Florence Foster Jenkins."
I played this last night and my cat started freaking out. Played it again this morning while she was being cuddly and she legit started to bite my arm. This song does things to her. Lol.
So, you're cat's a commie pinko fascist, is she?! 🤣
That is the most groundbreaking musical arrangement since my Uncle Herbie was playing Flight of the Bumblebee and had a massive stroke right in the middle of it.
You have to give Brandon credit for keeping up with the off key with the off key. LOL
Immense credit & respect. Transcribing that abortion would be tedious. Writing an accompanying score then performing it would be torture...were it not so achingly hilarious.
Brandon kept up with her so well that I thought she intentionally kept changing keys to make it interesting.
I was surprised it could be done on a fixed-pitch instrument.
This wasn't on purpose? Umm, what?
@@CayleeG maybe it was?!? Sort of to say this is Trump’s America
As a fellow piano player... dude, bravo. This has to have been one of the harder things to pull off because every fiber of your being tells you you're playing it wrong. Absolutely brilliant man.
Holy mother. There's only one 'key' in Francis Scott Key.
Hey buddy, ALL KEYS MATTER!
Winner of the Internet today
I've sung the National Anthem at public gatherings with my barbershop chorus. We change keys exactly ONCE and it's literally in the arrangement. And we sing a capella too. Unlike this young woman, we can actually sing.
@@anneu53714
OMG... I'm Canadian and this made me cringe...🤭😶😶😶wth???
That’s a solid joke. Good on ya, amigo.
“That was great, Squidward! All those wrong notes you played really made it sound more original.”
According to Trump: Her performance was perfect and the best and perfectly on key. Bigly.
Cringe
it's the Bigly for me. lol
@@Ebizzill trump's epic right 😂
Performed before the biggest cpac audience in history, period!
@@extremelynormalperson fail
Wow! So many firsts. First time I've ever heard a key change in the middle of a line. First time I've ever heard two key changes in the middle of a line. The first time I've heard key changes both up and down in the middle of a line. This woman is to be ....admired (?) for her pioneering musical spirit.
But she gets back to the original key almost every time. I've never heard anything like that.
Yes, in the same sense you admire a base jumper without parachute.
Yeah, it's definitely got its own authenticity.
Jäzz
In the key of Q I guess
Under rated comment.
R flat
Lol YES! Q flat sharp major-minor diminished-augmented.....suspended
Q Anon?
Why Q exactly? I don't know the ref I guess.
The perfect way to start off an off key gathering.
This is what happens when you tell your kids they can do ANYTHING they want. She needed realistic goals a long time ago. Coversely, it's the performance they deserve, so I kind of like her
It’s not that she is physically incapable of singing, she just isn’t that good at it. It’s a matter of practice and education.
...home schooler? Just askin...
You know, the more I listen to this the more I like it. It’s like Thelonius Monk and Stephen Sondheim had a collaboration.
Brandon, please publish this arrangement so it is available for musicians to perform at all conservative events.
Most conservatives would just do it and not even notice that something is awry.
Judging by this performance, CPAC does not use musicians that can read music. So, it would be a waste of time to transcribe.
The ignorance and stupidity in the two replies is astounding. Y'all are dumb as fuck and you're seriously trying to call other people dumb?
Brandon, your accompaniment actually makes her sound better. Bless her heart.
It was like listening to Betsy DeVos talk about education.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣!!!!!! 🤗🤗🤗
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😆😆
I kinda thought it was like getting maced in my ears!
This. The best comment of 2021.
I come back to this every month or so. Brandon nailed it.
No one tracks each key change better than this. Perfection.
I'm crying. That's the funniest thing I've seen this year. Now to watch it another 30 times.....
Me too😁
You should see what St Sanders can do
ruclips.net/video/Dl8Tzodb86k/видео.html
It is funny, but nearly unbearable to a real ear.
You took the words out of my mouth!!! Ha ha ha
Looks like the world isn't quite ready for avante garde alternative patriot-core music yet! 😄
"but your kids are gonna love it."
"Patriot-core" 😂😂😂
Patriot core 😂😂😂
Do you know any other artists who explore this genre? The Residents, perhaps? Asking for myself...
Consider this to be, ah, borrowed. "Avante garde alternative patriot-core music" indeed!
WOW. She sang the alphabet. What key, maam? ALL of them!
😂
Lmao
The hitherto undiscovered key of Q flat minor
Great microtonal abilities too!
@@GBGB000 Incredible !
Wow, not an easy thing to do Brandon dealing with an a cappella gone Acapulco. Very nice!

😆😆😆
@@_Meng_Lan Not mute, she eventually learned to speak (though she sounded funny because she couldn’t hear herself).
@@rebecca8525 is she the one who taught this woman to sing the anthem ?
Helen Keller could do better than this mess
That looked hard to play too.
You sir are talented.
Can’t say the same about her!!
The face she makes at that long held note near the end! lol!!!! Its like she's about to faint from trying to push out a fart.
I think that was her attempt at "emoting." FAIL.
She pretty much did
She seemed to impress the crowd, though.
@@brianthomas2434 although that crowd would have cheered if Trump had come out and literally peed on them for two hours straight.
@@tticd he spent 4 years shitting on them so it makes zero difference!!
She’s got more keys in one song than a university janitor has hanging from his waist.
What amazing courage. She did not give up! And here and there she did make some improvements on the original melody, but the amazing is how she went for it!
Are you insane? This is a perfect musical metaphor for Trumpanzees believing they are speaking with any knowledge, education, truth, or facts on any subject- completely butchered!
Thanks for this! I wish I could sing as good as her!
She knows notes! She has all the best notes!
Lol
No one has better notes than her. Believe me.
I love her modernist, dystopian interpretation! And Brandon is brilliant. I hope she does the Super Bowl next year!
@ThruAWiderLens We can also dust-off Ashlee Simpson and they can perform it as a duet, and then, for some reason, a hoedown (Ashlee's idea)!
@@geoffelder2236 Ashlee and Sailor. I like that idea!!!
...and brought to its full glory by Brandon!!!
I appreciate his simple, non-florid harmonisation unlike other RUclips renditions. Like all great accompanists, he doesn't flaunt himself but through his masterful, almost understated accompaniment, brings to full evidence this true vocal megastar - with her stunning (and so aptly put) _"modernist, dystopian interpretation"_ 🙃🙃 !!#£!%+?&!!
To be fair to the girl, I think she perfectly captured the essence of the party. Amazing piece of avant-garde performance art.
The singing was good, but it just shifted around.
@@vshah1010 She potentially has a good voice, but she clearly isn't trained... I wouldn't say the singing was 'good', even ignoring the pitch issues
Went right over their heads. 🤣🤣🤣
He should be given a Grammy for being able to follow her insanity with pinpoint perfection! Kudos young man!!!
Your musicianship and astutness in subtle parody combine to create consistently virtuoso performances that never disappoint.
OH MY GOD!! Dude, I’m a musician and believe me when I say this. I’m in complete awe of your ability as a musician! You were right there with her through every key and time signature change. You pulled off the impossible. You made her sound better - thank god SOMEONE could do it. Total, complete RESPECT!
Just after she finished "singing", she's thinking: "Nailed it! Chick-Fil-A's on me, guys!"
Nice. :D If there's time, maybe we can stop at Hobby Lobby afterwards, but we don't want to get TOOO wild, now! Mother will be peevish if we are out past dark.
@@wezacker6482 After they get home from Hobby Lobby, they'll put on something a little less comfortable, turn the lights down slightly, put on a little music, maybe have a little wine, and then it's finally time for an intense and intimate session of...
SCRAPBOOKING!!!
this lady and Roseann Barr should form a Duo. My dog was screaming and howling and he died 2 years ago.
You should get this guy to accompany your dog. I suspect your dog sings better than this.
🤣🤣🤣 Omg
That has got to be hard for a musician to ignore all musical theory and play one song in many keys.
I've been in chorus classes since kindergarten and let me tell you, This Was Amazing. Never in my life have I felt so uncomfortable listening to a performance and that is saying something. The bit of my brain that anticipates what's coming next in a song automatically is now buffering and I'll need to take a nap to fix it lol. Wow. The second hand embarrassment I feel for her is strong enough to kill an ox. I think at one point she went to a lower register for the first half of a sentence then went back to the regular notes in the second half and then into another weird key to continue the song which then transitioned BACK into the regular- and broke my brain. It's fine to alter a song if you can't hit the notes but please, mercy! You have to see it through! you can't have your cake and eat it too.
😂😂
This has a mesmerising exquisite tragical beauty. And bloody funny.
Well said. True dat. 😂
A bit like standing on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River watching her gently roll a lone floating corpse toward the Gulf.
@@WillBravoNotEvil 🤣🤣🤣
"So, what key is this in?"
"Yes."
It's in the key of "W", "T" & "F".
I stole that but ir's just too good.
@@TheHesseJames you're right! hahaha and your intentions were pure. So glad you borrowed and shared.
In the key on in!
Duh, it's Non-Harmonic-Polytonal with variable pitch.
like 4D chess.... you Dems just don't get.
Apparently it's in many different keys
This is the sound of a culture in a death spiral.
Altho, even as I'm not American and have only occasionally heard it, this song always sounds like some kind of doom metal threat.
Definitely. The libs have damaged our ears so much we can't even sing anymore lmao
@@extremelynormalperson yes this performance is the fault of liberals
@@zzzrtboy yes
Oh wow all my comments are getting deleted, delete this one too to prove you support black trans lives 🖤 grrr I'm a bad racist conservative boi teach me what for!!
The woman standing on stage with her- looked liked she was clutching her heart- having a heart attack!😜😂
Or as one brilliant commenter said, " ... her pearls!" 😂
Her singing of the National Anthem, with such a distinctive style, is a taste of how many singers will sound in maybe 75 years or so. We have been blessed to hear through a portal into the future.
The fact they clapped confirms what we already knew.... Republicans are tone deaf.
Also ignorant, and, and how is this Conservative?? It's the exact opposite.
No, no! It shows how very progressive they have become- she identifies as a singer and they say, “well, if that’s what she feels like....”
LOL!!
um.
Im republican and I am a composer.
pls stop ruining comment sections with politics.
Edit: 4-5 people hopping on the hate train for not correcting their stereotypical views of the party they do not identify with in the comments.
Edit 2: now 6-7.
@@fdjhjhdjhjh3954 What are the odds that you’ve posted zero compositions on RUclips?
That leaves “hacky joke writer”.
This girl - "How many keys are there on a piano? OK, I'm going to make sure to use all of them."
I think this should be the official national anthem recording played at every Republican gathering.
Absolutely!
It would certainly serve them right lol
This isn’t the first time someone has butchered the anthem at a Republican event.
Ha!
Or the russkie anthem
This pianist deserves an Oscar for his accompaniment.
I just finished watching Neil deGrasse Tyson explaining multiple dimensions. I believe this woman's vocal cords inhabit them, and Brandon has figured out a way to explain it to ordinary humans.
Actually, I heard the the "inside story" on this: This singer gets paid by the number of different keys she uses. Makes the music more interesting!
Conservatives: kneeling before the flag is disrespectful
Also conservatives:
THANK YOU!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣✋
I honestly believe she thought this was a Baseball game ... and she was there to throw out the first pitch ... and the second ... and the third ...
epic comment!
Nicely done.
Ha! Bravo.
This is really impressive for Brandon to play along with this.
Very talented! Great job following her Brandon Ethridge!
She sang in the key of M, then switched to A, then the key of G, switched back to A, and ended up in the key of Q! 🤣
That was good! XD
It's like she read a book on singing and decided that it was right for her, and just did a performance based on reading how it should be done.
Your comment made me laugh louder than I was supposed to :)
Nah I think she heard someone sing once, and just thought, 'I could do that'. She's done no reading on this
The "freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEeeeeeeeeeeeee" part is perfect!
Yep, just like a punchline.
It's really is .. especially the quick gasping for air at the end
“And which key will you be singing it in?”
“Oh, we’ll see, I haven’t decided yet.”
As the credits roll on Insurrection: The Opera, tears come to our eyes. Many, many tears.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Fantastic comment!!
I’m trying to figure out who her father is, no person in their right mind would let someone like her sing.... oh wait....
I've been saying this everywhere - they can't get decent singers so nepotism is pretty much the only way to source "quality"... and boy, does that "quality" show :-D
@@dontbefatuousjeffrey2494 Could've stopped at "they can't get decent". ;)
The narcissistic disordered ones in society are in their grandiose bubble of awesomeness. 🤣
We get the likes of Beyonce and John Legend and lady Gaga and they get...........oh well.
Where’s the Citizen's Arrest when it’s truly necessary?!
Lock Her Up (and throw away her KEYS, all of them) Disclaimer: My comment is meant to be funny, I really don't think people should be locked up for singing poorly, at least she didn't grab her crotch like another well known tRumper did. My comment is based on the republiKKKans constant chant of locking people up and the keys part is because of singing out of key.
@@brewzdude4199 ------ This is sooooo funny!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's a hard song to sing, but yeah someone should have called the cops on her for that😂
Yes, actual tears running down my face, I was laughing so hard.
Look at it, she's so proud of that held note😂
And someone even gave her a “Woo!”
When "killing it" has two different meanings, both in the same video. My compliments to Brandon for killing it in the way that we like.
The national anthem got maced.
Winner
Bear spray to the face.
She stood on its neck and killed it-but not in a good way.
It made it about a foot inside but they pushed it out
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I swear, I genuinely haven't laughed so hard at anything in years. This is utter genius.
CPAC National Anthem in F, F#, G, G# is a clear warning of what you are about to hear. Thank you for that, Brandon!
The ultimate statement as to what has happened to our country.
Golden idol waiting in the wings.....
"My god, that piano player's terrible"- Trump.
"I heard there was a secret chord / That David played and it pleased the lord" -- she's trying to hit that mythical secret chord that Leonard Cohen sang about...
It’s CPAC. Maybe it’s a feature, not a bug. All of the keys are ours!
All your keys are belong to us.
😂 You're probably onto something...
Ahahah
No, they only like the White ones.
@@heathercampbell4245 i like it! But I did mean the musical keys!
Oh, they do have that one black key they let hang around.
I clicked "like" but only for Brandon's sake.
"We use alternative notes."
That key change in the beginning like it's the second run-through and you're going up a half-step to amp it up is genius.
I'd definitely take a knee for this anthem, praying "Pleez Lawd, BLESS this po girl with ONE GOOD NOTE!"
U R a comedic AND musical genius! FACT!!!!! ✔💖
Proof that ALL Keys can live together in ... dis-harmony?
The true highlight at 1:43 I spit out my tea
very funny move!
_Still_ keep coming back for this one. _Still_ end up on the floor trying to hold my guts in from laughing so hard.
Ha! Brilliant! - I'm also hoping that someday pianos are built to play quarter tones - so the additional majesty and depth of her vocal performance can be captured/accompanied.
