      Cause she is a child. She agreed to do the performance it's not like she could control her nervousness that naturally happens when your a kid performing infront of thousands of people. But this was a huge opportunity and she's a little girl who loves to sing, she isn't gonna pass it up. It would be stupid to pass it up. But what she didn't agree to was the horns, that could've stopped for atleast 2 mintues, so she could hear herself.

      What's the point in stupid comments like this? Most people who criticize this girl aren't going out there waiting in line to sing national anthems, and that's not the point. The point is, don't do it if you CAN'T sing well. It's not supposed to be a sympathy vote.

    That must be traumatizing for her. She was probably terrified. And seeing people bully her it's rude and disrespectful. This girl is really young with all of that can make her commit suicide. She was a really great singer, even if it was a bit pitchy, she was scared.

It takes some serious courage to get up in front of thousands of people to perform this extremely difficult anthem, given its ridiculously high and low notes, that I for one couldn't even dream of hitting. It just baffles me that so many people bashed her for this performance when I doubt they even have the balls to get up there and sing it themselves.
