Siouxdonyms Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Did anyone else see the video footage of the canadian woman at the World Juniors Under-18 tournament butcher the US national anthem during 2 different attempts, before coming back to the ice and falling on her a?$ on the ice? I've been looking for the footage on the net, but have been unable to find it. It's quite hilarious. If you find it, please post it for everyone to see. Thanks.

Siouxdonyms Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 My bad, it wasn't at the US Under-18 Tournament. Here's the storyline, still looking for the video though, which makes the event memorable. NEW YORK (AP) -- By the dawn's early light, Caroline Marcil finally finished on national TV what she started at a hockey game -- a flawless rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner. The Montreal singer was to perform the national anthems of two countries before the United States' 5-4 exhibition victory over Canada on Friday in Quebec City. Despite two tries, she forgot the words to the U.S. anthem and then left to get the lyrics. When she returned to the rink, she slipped on the carpet covering the ice and plopped on her back before a Quebec Coliseum crowd of 7,166. After lying motionless for a few seconds, the 24-year-old Canadian left on her own and the game began without either anthem sung. Marcil regrouped over the weekend, when she was invited to appear on ABC's Good Morning America, where she sang the entire U.S. anthem without a hitch. Marcil said the pressure before the game got to her. "It was a lot of things together, the emotion, the stress," she said, adding that the crowd's booing made things worse. "That made me completely blank," she said. On Monday, she was on the ABC show again, and explained why she needed to return to the ice. "I wanted to do it," she said in accented English. "And to show I was able to do it. I go get my words and -- I'm going to do this song. I have to." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagies Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 It's not that big of a deal. The gal is on the ice, forgets the words and walks down the toward the lockerroom to grab the words. As she walks back on the ice her foot slips as she plants it on the ice/carpet (she's wearing high heels) and she falls backward and appears to hit her head on the way down. It's actually kind of slow motion and not that big of a deal. Frankly, after seeing it 11 times on the news before work, I just felt sorry for her. I could see it happening to me.
