The 2016 NBA All-Star game opened with Nelly Furtado singing the Canadian national anthem.
Nelly Furtado has been quiet on the music front lately and if you listen to the Twitter community, it should stay that way.
The singer from Victoria, B.C., was slammed on social media for her off-key rendition of O Canada prior to Sunday night’s NBA All-Star Game in Toronto.
Here’s a sample of the hate that the I’m Like a Bird singer received.
Is Nelly Furtado having a breakdown?
That's about the worst performance of the Canadian Anthem I've ever heard…— Michael Wilbon (@RealMikeWilbon) February 15, 2016
To be such a fine singer and give that performance of such a beautiful, beautiful song…shocking…

That was a shut-off-the-mic performance…

O'Canada is an awesome song. No need to change the notes.

Nelly Furtado just trumped Billy Joel's daughter (at Barclay's) for worst anthem rendition of the 2015-16 sports season.
