Jully Black is drawing attention for a subtle change she made to the lyrics of 'O Canada' at Sunday’s NBA All-Star Game.

This is a way better and more thoughtful edit than the “in all of us command” liberal edit.

I’ve made a subtle change to her name, August Black, hope she doesn’t mind

O Canada is in a messed up right now, sing it any way you want .

No praise here. She had no right to insert her own version to our anthem. Want to protest, we have a capital building. I’d hope she never gets hired again to spew her divisional hate message.disgraceful

She should be banned from any event that requires her to sign the national anthem. She is an embarrassment and should be jailed

Subtle

It was wrong and she should not sing again.

So edgy

What a disgrace to Canadians.

Who?

Some people say she knew. I think it’s just another example of how little Americans know about Canada. I don’t believe she meant any disrespect.

Canada is a joke when anybody can change the national anthem try that with the US anthem

I like it!

who the fuck does she think se is?

Not a big deal since except by declaration of all Canadians there is technicall no such thing as native land.

Since we as a country inaccurately call this our native land even though humans are not native to Canada it is accurate regardless of your origins. It accurately encompasses all Canadians.

She sang it wrong. We only have one anthem in Canada.

She ever change the nasty way she treats her nail salon ladies? This woman is a racist scumbag in real life. I was there when it happened.

Oh bullshit it’s animals land first

She sucks

Never heard of her! Trying to get noticed with woke outburst. Trudeau must have loved this! I still sing “In all our sons command”

That's right!! She's speaking facts, well done!!

How come when woke SJWs cause a stir it is “drawing attention” but when it’s a non-woke individual they are “controversial”?

If she doesn’t like the anthem, then don’t sing it at all. She should have sang the “black national anthem” whatever that is

Shameful

She should be banned from performing O Canada for the NBA ever again. The was straight up disrespectful. Find a different way to protest.

She's irrelevant

Without the controversy, she was basically irrelevant.

Great! At least now I can keep my hat on and stay seated.

jordanbpeterson Notice she’s “drawing attention” and not “controversial” like non-woke Jordan Peterson.

Not cool at all

Whatever.

👎

Who is she?

Who cares? The lyrics haven't changed.

Any approval of this change is telling Wokies they can control what the rest of us want which we are the majority. Stop the insanity and take back a normal sane world.

Reminder: China's basic dictatorship admires Justin Trudeau so much they guaranteed him victory in the last 2 elections.

The problems a rich, comfortable nation makes for itself. 🤦‍♂️

Unpatriotic Please Revoke her citizenship immediately if the natives want their land back they gotta put the bottle down and fight for it

Joint tenancy?

Her courage is stunning. Sets an example for all of us.

worst rendition I've ever heard

For a people who couldn’t invent the wheel they sure do get a lot of ideas lol

Disgraceful stuff

What a disgrace

subtle...!?

This ​woke culture is really getting completely out of control and it is our duty to push back against it and fight for our rights​.​ enough is enough we must fight back.

The goal was to get noticed. Mission accomplished.

and she had no issue asking God to keep our land glorious and free? funny that

What gives you people the right to alter words? Do you want the powder keg to go off up here in leaf land woke people?

Actually I like it!!! Good for her!!!

I'm ok with that. The lyrics have been changes several times & I only remember the version I learned in grade school in the 1940s. What really needs to be changed is the Song. Especially the first few bars. They are Gawdawful!!

Our home on dinosaurs’ native land

Total lack of respect. JullyBlack

Who?

I doubt anyone there in the audience even noticed. 🤔

I’m all for not performing a national anthem before sports events.

Nothing new here. These are the lyrics for myself and many other Canadians for years now.

The new lyrics appeared to draw a largely positive reaction on social media where some viewers praised Black’s revised lyrics. The narrative and spin in out in full force here

Ummm….who gave her the power to change the national anthem? And why are we mixing politics with sports? Hired to sing the anthem and couldn’t even it do it correctly.

Stunning. Brave.

I find it disrespectful. Nobody has a right to change lyrics to our national anthem but the senate. She just wanted to be in the news.

Did she sing “in all thy sons command” too, since there obviously isn’t any official words!

Yep. Everyone that thought it was so great can move back to Europe now.

Very divisive

I recall the Canadian Tenors jackass🤣🤣🤣

Who the fuck is Jully Black?

I think JullyBlack is chasing clout with the the 'Yaaaassss, Queen!' crowd and did it to draw attention to her 'virtue'.

Nah, I'll pass on the giving away generations of advancement, progress & development by the settlers & immigrants that made Canada into the sovereign nation we live in today. We owe our quality of life, education, healthcare, justice system & parliament democracy to them.

Racist with what? Some people with the racism act. please!

Good for Jully. Progress 🧡

IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM YOU'RE A RACIST

Terrible rendition! No right to change the words!! JullyBlack

Ha! Well done. ;) Change can be an excellent thing.

be honest, she forgot the lyrics

I knew this cow would screw it up. What a FAILURE! sad

The performance overall was awful tbh

Jully Black’s subtle change to the Canadian anthem at NBA All-Star Game wins praise from fansToronto’s own Jully Black provided a memorable performance with a stirring — and subversive — rendition of Canada’s national anthem ahead of the all-star tip-off Sunday night. Welcome to the new world, where absolutely everything must be politicized. My family came here from Ireland almost 200 years ago. Canada is my home AND native land, not my home ON native land. This was disgusting. It is our NATIONAL ANTHEM. Sing it the way it was written.
