Speechless. Even Lebron James couldn't keep a straight face as she sang.

To be fair, that is exactly her style.

I did not think it was bad, nor offensive in any way.

That's just Macy.

Yep, it was basically exactly what I expected when I opened this thread.

I've never seen the appeal of her style at all.

This.

And if you've ever entertained in front of a crowd, you know musicians do weird crap like wearing sunglasses indoors, growing hair out, drinking a little or hiding behind some other security blanket to loosen the nerves.

Guitarists are known for making the dumbest faces, wearing hats, glasses, buckets because they're unusually shy — they sat in their room alone for years getting good at playing — it's only natural to be uncomfortable performing in front of crowds.

Seemed fine to me. I’m more offended that no one had their hand over their heart, aside from Kareem, who is a degenerate communist who hates this country. Kinda makes me think maybe he doesn’t, he’s just too stupid to realize how terribly misguided he is.

Sounds like her albums. It's not my favorite but....she sung like she has always sung. Not sure what they expected differently.

I was expecting much worse. That was actually not bad at all. Nothing burger.

I didn’t think it was bad.

Not really a motivational version, more like a late night camp fire and beer version.

I watched a concert of hers on the tube a few years ago. She was definitely partaking of something.

Posted: 2/21/2022 1:19:14 PM EDT

Meh, I’ve heard worse. I just wish people would put their hand over their heart.

Not my style, but the NBA has decided to be a church of black culture years ago.

I fucking hate Lebron James, but I didn't see anything in that video to increase my hatred for him.

This. If anyone finds fault with that, they are just looking for something to bitch about

ETA....I will add that I am not a huge Macy Gray fan, but I do think her voice is pleasantly unique.

If labronk james doesn't approve it must be great. He's a piece of shit.

Other than the twitchiness, it was perfectly ok. That's how she sounds

My only comment is just sing America the Beautiful.

And quit pretending sports are pure, ethical or even fair and honest…just entertainment…k

Her old music videos were the best.

Vile rude person was in Miami a few years back had breakfast next to her and her whole family she made a big scene and lit the poor waiter up over a $5 or $6 item caused a whole scene in the place just stupid

Expecting a shit show, never heard of her but that was beautiful, that’s a great voice. She has some kind of medical condition obviously.

If that’s true what the poster above me said then she can go fuck a dog.

Well you are watching wokeball.. what the the fuck do you expect?

That was absolutely her style. Not traditional, but it was tasteful. She didn't "ho it up" too bad, like I would expect from Mariah Carey or any of a hundred other female artists trying to "make it their own"

She's a weird chick, but I won't hold this one against her.

Shy until he busts out the nunchucks and starts doing the robot

Also, I hate Lebron as much as the next guy, but when someone sings like shit and you’re in a situation where you’re supposed to be quiet and reserved, its hards to keep a straight face. I’ve giggled at a couple of funerals due to shit singers.

Though she acted like a cracked out tweaker though...

I didn't think it was a horrible rendition. She looked like a junkie searching for a fix though...

She’s a leftist twat. As is comrade LeBron

She at least got the words right although not my favorite rendition of the anthem.

That wasn't that bad at all.

I thought it was perfectly fine, although she did look she might have been high or drunk.

If I was going to sing the National Anthem in a stdium I might have a few shots before hand also.

Not going to criticize anybody that stands in a stadium and shows her patriotism by singing the national Anthem in a respectful way.

They should get this little kid from Kentucky to sing it next time

How anyboddy can watch those same thugs throwing a ball at the rim from half court & hanging on the rims for a monster dunk is beyond me.

Same old shit, just a different day. I mean honestly, talk about the most boring thing possible.
