Erika, Erika, Erika. Not long after I’ve publicly extolled your vocal talent and your fierce beauty, you appear on national TV and screw up “God Bless America” at a Dodgers vs. Cardinals game. As part of what I like to call NINGINtervention, I am calling you out: Perform every performance like the rent is due TONIGHT. And by that I mean: Remember your lyrics!
Especially if they happen to be the lyrics of a song most American people randomly remember. Readers, I encourage you to try the God Bless America Test. The GBATs, if you will. Sing the song to yourself randomly. I promise, it will come to you. You don’t even need alcohol to do this. And even if it doesn’t come to you, typically baseball games will feature the lyrics on a big screen in the stadium.
While baseball may be America’s favorite pastime, I assure you sipping on Haterade is not mine. Erika, you’re still talented and beautiful but you need to check yourself before you wreck yourself:
What the song should sound like as sung by non-American Charice Pempengco at an inauguration event this year:
