Title: Country star Ingrid National Anthem
Post by: Animl-AW on July 16, 2024, 04:31:30 AM
Proof how sound engineers can make or break an artist with FX, OR monitors.
Obviously, no effects rack or monitors at a ball game.
She cooked herself. Kinda feel sorry for her. I can’t see IEMS (in ear monitors). But even talking to an arena echo can throw you way off. Checking mics without monitors on, I can barely say the next word as echo from the last word hits your ears. Jumbles the brain. You cannot find being on key.

I don’t know why anyone would ever attempt to sing in an arena without IEMs or ear plugs at the least. I thought Yoko was singing…

R/baseball last night was hilarious on reddit. I feel bad for her. We had to change channel mid song because it was so bad. Some where saying it was the sound crew with autotune, but Idk. The way she sang it didn't really do justice for any sound mix up though. Give her credit for going up there and singing it, but damn her reputation what ever it was will certainly be tarnished as one of the worst national anthems in history.

Meh! They don’t know what they are talking about. Autotune is always detectable, it has a synth edge to it. Autotune is in an fx rack, they’d have to wheel in and put in line with house sound system.
The arena house sound engineer probably would not allow or not able to allow her sound people to hook up or operate anything for a 2 min song, including IEMs. Straight in straight out. She was raw with no aids, IMO.
That 2 min put a hurt to her. She’ll never do that again.

If you listen to Cher, I think its Do You Believe, or whatever the title is, autotune is in your face.
People like Kenya West relies on it because he simply can’t sing. Today most hip hop and rap way over use it because they really are NOT singers.

I'm not sure she even knew the words she was trying to sing. Easily in the top 5 worst renditions I've ever heard of the National Anthem.

She is not really a singer, although she had a single, she is a song writer.

Never heard of her. I'm not a big country music fan and since my wife is I asked her it was...my wife didn't know. But my wife did agree with me... the singer WAS terrible!

Ha! Makes total sense. I have quite a few stories of launching blasted artist on stage and watching them blow it. Have to admit I didn’t even think of it. I should know better. But HA!

She sounded bad but I am sure you guys are much better singers and would be much better when you get your shot at singing it in front of 10's of 1000's lol
Sounds like she might have a substance abuse issue but it's OK to laugh at that right?

Well, at least MLB recovered a little. Cody Johnson is one of the few modern country artists that I like.

Bhaa! The post wasn’t about bashing her skills, it was about a bad situation with bad results. Everyone knew something was wrong. She did.
When your singing style is grabbing sensational notes it’s going to be a lot harder in an arena with no monitors. I can’t even imagine letting her go out there without some IEMs. That’s brutal. I couldn’t see her ears to see if the had them. But from experience, someone slipping out of key that much, or not even finding it, tells be she could not hear herself properly. This is why musicians start freaking out if their monitors go out. They’ll be lost in space and things go south real quick. Most every artist here will agree.
The guy Banshee posted is going to have an easier time with his style. He’s not moving through 5 octaves. Ery simple voice, much easier.
As I stated, I felt bad for her.
Many have done decent with nothing, depends on many things
Singing the anthem is a very risky choice, even for top shelf. The song is crazy hard in the worst situation. if no monitors then ear plugs may help cancel the arena sound system bouncing all around and just listen to whats in your head.
End story, it was her own fault going out there drunk into a known bad situation. Voodoo.
When I cue/solo up someones monitor mix, minus all fx, some prove to me they are insanely skilled, some I wonder how they even got there.
At least she’s not using tracks like every single dance act.
She took a hit, she’ll bounce back.

I'll take someone singing the Anthem poorly over someone refusing to stand every day of the week.
