Singer Loomis APOLOGIZES After Swearing on Live TV & Botching National Anthem

Singer Loomis is apologizing after she botched her national anthem performance and swore on live TV. On Wednesday, Oct. 23, the singer was performing a rendition of the star-spangled banner at the Free and Equal Elections Foundation Debate featuring third-party presidential candidates, but her voice cracked as she was belting, leading her to stop midway through. “I f***ed it up, I f***ed it up. Can I go back, please?” she asked, before someone off camera told her it was a live broadcast. She then quickly continued and finished the rest of the song, though also noted that she was “nervous.” On Saturday, Oct. 26, the artist took to Instagram to apologize in a recorded video. “First off, I would like to apologize to the Free and Equal political team for this mishap, and from the bottom of my heart I wanted to apologize. And I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to mess up the National Anthem, and I wanted to thank you guys for giving me a chance and believing in me,” she said in part.

WHO HIRED AND BOOKED HER?? Should be fired.

[vickidavis]

As a singer and voice teacher, how fervently I wish singers would work on their voice so they can just SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM. Forget all the vocal gymnastics. Develop your voice with professional help, and sing the song simply and respectfully.

[Lovebugg]

Damn this is gonna live rent free in her head forever 😭

[prettykitty]

Smh even her “apology” was ratchet 🤦🏾‍♀️😭

[TamFam-on]

It's the awkward Squidward walk at the end 😆

[Alenakip]

I don’t even know who this is but man, why does America have to be so ratchet all the time??

[dtcarpediem]

Even her apology was done half assed smh

[Spiritofthewild]

Loomis, Fergie anyone who sings the National Anthem will forever be cursed by the ghost of Whitney Houston, she made the bar unreachable.

[nightedpemder]

Doesn't believe in what she singing. Why don't ppl at least practice so they won't screw up the song of the country? I guess they think it's all about them.

[lovechildtv]

This is what the country is coming to, twerking and cursing in politics

[carnifool_d]

Then she’s cussing in the apology video too? 😂 come on

[nizjus]

She is like a two year old baby apologising

[Free_Spirited_]

She is awful😢!!! And then to curse at such an event on live tv, smh. Why can't they choose an artist who sings the national anthem the way it's supposed to be sung?! Every time someone overdoes an already amazing well written song, it just sounds terrible.

[diceflawless]

The worst part is that she decides to cuss again in her wack apology video

[GomarThePotato]

yk how when you go to sleep, ur most embarrassing experiences play out in ur head? at this rate, i don’t think she’s ever gonna be able to sleep again 😭

[TruthSurge]

love seeing these types bomb live. For every one of her, there's 10, 000 people way better who actually worked hard to become really good at singing instead of whatever she spent her time doing.

[cralston]

Her voice isn't bad she's just so nervous

[cathrencostantino]

Whoever hired her should be fired and she should not be allowed to do this.
This simply does not happen if you are properly practice and rehearsed for the song you know it inside out you’ve done 1000 million times and you can sing it in the morning. You can sing it at night you can sing it in the middle of your sleep.

This shows a lack of preparation a lack of getting the voice ready and taking care of your body. The day is leading up to the performance.

A botched performance that could’ve been the most important moment of the singers’s life, but she absolutely screwed it up

Back in the day singers knew how to get their bodies and their vocal chords ready

[burgandi.c]

This is very sad actually. I’ve never heard of her before this but I think people should be a bit empathetic. This is truly embarrassing. I hope she recovers from it.

Basically never give the job to anyone with 5 inch talons instead of human fingernails
