"Disrespectfully rushed her" "Butchered Canadian anthem": NHL fans unhappy at Alanis Morissette's rendition of O'Canada at Stanley Cup Final Game 7

During Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers on Monday, singer Alanis Morissette, a dual citizen of Canada and the United States, performed both national anthems to a mixed reception. As she began singing "O Canada," fans at Amerant Bank Arena appeared enthusiastic, with some even joining in.

However, a noticeable discrepancy arose when fans began singing ahead of Morissette, who hails from Ontario. This timing issue led to some dissatisfaction among viewers.

One fan commented:

"They disrespectfully rushed her."

Another fan voiced their frustration as well:

"She butchered the Canadian anthem."

Other fans also shared their opinions on this matter:

"They don’t know how to keep a rhythm," one fan said.

"Terrible - the CDN crowd had more life in their voices and kept the beat!" another fan said.

"She sucked! The fans saved it," one fan pointed.

"And she forgot the words," one fan chimed in.

However, some fans were pleased with her rendition of the national anthem:

"She sounded awesome…." one fan said.

"Wow, that is beautiful! Well done," another fan said.
