For Houston Astros fans, Game One of the World Series started and ended on a bad note as, prior to the team’s 10th inning loss, Black Pumas singer Eric Burton struggled through his rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
Previously chosen to perform Black Pumas’ “Colors” during President Joe Biden’s inauguration, the Grammy-nominated, Austin, Texas-based singer, committed a series of lyrical errors during the National Anthem.
Burton’s first faux pas came when he crooned, “What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last streaming” instead of “gleaming,” and then continued in the second verse, when he again repeated the line, “What so proudly we hail’d at the twilight’s last streaming” instead of singing “O’er the ramparts we watch’d were so gallantly streaming.”
