Singer Loomis calls for a change in the middle of a live performance of the national anthem: “Can I come back?”

A singer’s rocky rendition of the national anthem had her asking for a change mid-song.

Singer Loomis performed “The Star Spangled Banner” at the Free & Equal Elections Foundation’s third-party presidential debate on October 24.

Loomis’ performance the live recording has started. She performed the first few lines of the song successfully, but seemed shaky once she got to a higher note and her voice went out of tune.

After struggling to sing, “And the red glow of the rockets,” Loomis said into the microphone, “I drove him crazy. I drove her crazy. Can I come back, can I come back, please?”

However, someone off-camera notified her that the broadcast was live. She continued the song, but stopped again after a verse to say, “I got too nervous.”

Online, social media users criticized the performance, with some comparing it to Fergie’s viral replay of the 2018 NBA All-Star Game.

“Don’t think I heard someone say it twice during the anthem, but I could be wrong.” one person tweeted.

Loomis responded to some of the hate on her Instagram story by sharing videos of herself performing well at shows.

“I swear I’m not that bad,” she wrote above one of the clips.

She also shared some posts from fans. In one post, someone wrote in part: “Omg I love me some @officialloomis can never make me hate you “

In response, Loomis said, “It’s okay those who know know and those who don’t—– .”
