Singer Loomis botches national anthem and drops f-bomb on live TV – Washington Examiner

Singer Loomis dropped an F-bomb while singing the national anthem during a live taping of the Free & Equal Elections Presidential Debate on Wednesday in Los Angeles.

The night was set to focus on the third-party candidates seeking the White House, but Loomis appears to have stolen the show with her less-than-gracious rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Dressed in a two-piece denim outfit, Loomis opened the debate but began to falter when she appeared unpleased with her singing and asked for a do-over.

“And the rockets’ red glare,” she belted into the microphone before abruptly stopping. “I f**ked that, I f**ked it up. Can I go back, can I go back please?”

“You’re live,” a voice responded, and Loomis continued.

“The bombs bursting in air. … I got too nervous,” she stopped again. “Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.”

Hitting a few more high notes, Loomis finished out the song to applause from the audience.

“Thank you, Loomis, that was beautiful,” one commentator said following the performance.

Many social media users did not share the commentator’s sentiment for Loomis’s butchering of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

“There’s a new contender for ‘Worst Rendition of the National Anthem Ever,’” one X user commented. “Don’t think I’ve heard someone say “I f**ck*d it up” twice during the anthem, but I could be wrong.”

“I’m all for making a song your own… but not this song…just sing it the way it was written… and it will be gorgeous,” another account posted. “Clearly she couldn’t hit the notes and lacks actual talent.”

“Second-hand embarrassment is real!” according to one user. “That outfit let us know this wasn’t going to go well. And she didn’t know this was live! Bless her”

“She did worse than Fergie,” one X user posted, to sum up Loomis’s performance. “Awful.”
