American Idol 10 runner-up Lauren Alaina forgot the lyrics of Star-Spangled Banner, the US National Anthem, while singing the song at the Green Bay Packers-Detroit Lions Game on Thanksgiving.
It was too early into the song (only the second line) when instead of "at the twilight's" she sang "thru the twi..." then paused for like 4 seconds and resumed singing starting with "last gleaming..."
Lyrics:
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
It was an awkward moment for the singer as the audience and the athletes themselves tried to help her by singing the song out loud.
The silence could be mistaken for a cut mic. But if that was the case, the 4 seconds that passed with no mic could have already brought her to at least the third line of the song if she continued singing. Or it could also be that something went down her throat.
We couldn't really tell what happened from this video because the camera wasn't on Lauren when that 4-second pause happened. But I'm sure some people in the audience have camcorded her at the event. Let's just wait for their vids to be uploaded to YouTube.
Watch Lauren Alaina's much talked about I-forgot-the-lyrics moment in the video after the jump.
