No Music? No Problem! Carrie Underwood Wows Inauguration Crowd Acapella
It's every singer's nightmare.
You're about to perform -- singing for a big-deal event to a backing track with a choir when -- nothing.
Silence.
A burst of music for a moment. Then nothing.
All eyes are on you, but there's no music.
Literally, the WORLD is watching you.
What do you do?
Well, if you're a boss like Carrie Underwood, you wait for a short while for the technicians to get the track going. And when they don't, you start singing "America the Beautiful" at the Trump Inauguration acapella -- without music -- and make it a sing-along with all the big-deal guests gathered there.
Former presidents and first ladies.
Supreme Court justices.
Members of congress.
Titans of tech.
And after her flawless performance, she gesture-claps to everyone in the Capitol Rotunda who joined her in the not-planned sing-along.
Now, I'm not speaking to the appropriateness of Carrie Underwood singing at the Trump Inauguration -- that's her decision and her fans on both sides of the aisle can decide for themselves whether that was a good move for her.
But just the fact that under this very high-pressure moment -- and with no backing music -- Carrie Underwood NAILED "America the Beautiful" live, before a global audience.
AND she helped "out" big wigs who didn't know the words to what is arguably America's second national anthem.
Damn, girl. That was a boss move.
Kudos.
