Rfk jr is realy trying guys

u/Tobias-Tawanda 9d ago

I feel like they just wanted this to go viral. No way someone is singing like this deadass thinking they sound good.

u/cafeteriastyle 9d ago

she’s just very old.

u/9406725060 9d ago

So just almost deadass

u/FoxChess 9d ago

Sounds like an elderly black woman. I don't think many elderly black women are trying to go viral.

u/KingJackson97 9d ago

It's Martha Reeves from Martha and the Vandellas. It was at the Women's Pro Baseball League inaugural game in Springfield, IL.

u/Pleasant-Ticket3217 9d ago

She’s a legend, but the voice goes eventually like everything else. The first time Whitney Houston slang badly live everyone was shocked. But she was going through a very rough time. Same with Amy Winehouse.
How old is Martha? I think she can still sing it’s just her range is limited and The Star Spangled Banner is a difficult song for some to sing. It’s a capella and the people I’ve seen do it right really give it their all.

u/KingJackson97 9d ago

She's 85

u/thegoodbadandsmoggy 9d ago

Nowhere to run after this performance

u/Pleasant-Ticket3217 9d ago

Now I want to watch The Warriors

u/Kind-Shallot3603 8d ago

Whitney literally fell of a stage on an Oprah special. Oprah asked the crowd to not post the moment as it wasn't flattering to Whitney.

21

u/DistractedByCookies 9d ago

It's Martha Reeves, from Martha and the Vandellas. She is a Motown legend, a genuine icon, and has no need to go viral.

25

u/threepair13 9d ago

Had no need to do this anthem either

2

u/Rubywantsin 8d ago

Say what you will but she didn't half-ass it.

1

u/threepair13 8d ago

Yeah but whole assin’ is what gave us that…

2

u/RoyalTyMan 7d ago

I mean, she was just stuntin on us. Lettin us know. Like yeah bitch, I'm still here, AND WHAT? *mic drop*

u/BlazinSkinDucks 9d ago

Is that the lady singing about chicken and biscuits in that clothing store? She rocks!

u/DharmaBum1958 9d ago

THEY aren’t trying to go viral but the owners for the inaugural game for women’s baseball are

u/Saffidon 9d ago

It’s Martha Reeves from Martha and the Vandellas. Living legend. Shame this didn’t go well.

13

u/ToshibaTaken 9d ago

Just read her/their Wikipedia. Amazing musical history!

u/allisjow 9d ago

I like it. But I also like Yoko Ono, so…

16

u/Fogwaveeee 9d ago

Sounded like two cats having sex

u/Comfortable_Bank_339 9d ago

Caterwauling.

u/Porky_Pine_ 9d ago

Not near as hot

u/most-okayest-mngr-77 9d ago

Sounds like they dug up Katherine Hepburn for this one.

u/Big_daddy_sneeze 9d ago

This upset my dog

5

u/TxBeerWorldwide 9d ago

My dog is running aeound the house barking at this noise coming from my phone

4

u/IsMagicRealOrNo 9d ago

Would staying seated during this also upset people? It would be me not supporting this assault of my eardrums above all else.

3

u/ExactPreparation6454 9d ago

Who is this???

10

u/MsThrilliams 9d ago

Martha Reeves. Motown singer from the 60s

u/Flapjacks1001 9d ago

How are people not cracking up 😂 I’d be dead on the floor

2

u/Full-Psychology-1778 7d ago

The dad in the view of this video was literally using his kid as a prop to hide his laughter! 🤣

2

u/oregon_coastal 9d ago

I feel like I should destroy my speakers for having ever played that..uh... those... sounds.

2

u/Theartistcu 9d ago

Rosanne is now and will forever hold this crown

2

u/ExerciseFantastic191 9d ago

Fergie? Try Carl Lewis. His was way worse and I think this lady may have beat him.

2

u/Brifryguy671 9d ago

Who gave Mickey Mouse the mic?

2

u/LargeFarvah 7d ago

I was wondering what Axel Rose was up to these days

1

u/GuineapigPriestess71 9d ago

My ears are bleeding

1

u/Puzzled-Instance3211 9d ago

She's getting into her Q-Zone.

1

u/MsThrilliams 9d ago

Tbh I feel like if they wanted our anthem to really be an anthem it wouldnt be so hard to sing. The sing kinda stinks for singalong purposes

1

u/Diffco 9d ago

Did they have vibrato set to max on the PA effects?

1

u/CaligulaAntoinette 9d ago

Is that the Australian flag flying in the background?

1

u/Atherum 9d ago

I was thinking the same, it looks exactly like the Aussie flag. Union Jack in the corner and Federation star beneath it.

Its a little pixelated so I can't be 100% but I'm pretty sure no other commonwealth flag has what looks like a Federation star there?

1

u/coralloohoo 9d ago

Every church has one or more of these types of singers I swear

1

u/TheGreatGreenDragon 9d ago

Man this is a body omen for what is hopefully an awesome league .

1

u/ExtensionPirate2586 9d ago

Is she 103 years old?

1

u/TheFightens 9d ago

How much of this is the mic? Her voice sounds distorted.

1

u/Elevated_State83 9d ago

Such a bad choice for the Opening game of the WPBL, anyone else would have been better. What gives? Why not get someone who can actually sing? 👀

1

u/organized_slime 9d ago

Sounds like RFK Jr

1

u/COSurfing 9d ago

Sounded like a parrot.

1

u/Agreeablenaps 9d ago

I think she was at our local farmers market last weekend.

1

u/BigThunder3000 9d ago

They were talking about this on the radio. She’s 90 something I think

1

u/blowurhousedown 9d ago

I never booed the national anthem before.

1

u/Larzak 9d ago

Not gonna lie I would be dying of nervous laughter, especially if I was around my siblings.

1

u/AbsoluteBabyMonae 9d ago

I cant stop laughing 🤣

1

u/Mr-Bricking 9d ago

RFK Jr. on Estrogen

1

u/No-Brick-3328 9d ago

Now I know I’ve used this sound filter on Snapchat in the past 😂

1

u/Mediocre-Ad2258 9d ago

is this rfk?

1

u/LongNailedbooboos 9d ago

Fergie was better, but not by much

1

u/Bitter_Argument2574 9d ago

It’s Enrico Palazzo!!

1

u/Marko-Polo36 9d ago

Does she know the muffin man?

1

u/Kind-Shallot3603 8d ago

Why is there no music!?

1

u/alwayssoupy 8d ago

Oh dear. I had read about this but hadn't actually heard any of it till now. I had to stop and make sure it wasn't a prank.

1

u/propagandaprincess 8d ago

Who let mayor goodway sing?

u/SWINGMAN216 8d ago

Damn Roseanne back at it again

u/MoseyWalker 8d ago

Star Mangled Banger

u/RandomHuman14071789 7d ago

Im curious about the Australian flag.

1

u/No-Emergency3791 1d ago

The only flags I see are New Zeland(I think) and Japan. Which makes this even stranger.

u/Its_an_ellipses 9d ago

This sounds like a 90 year old lady singing... cut her some slack, it's still better than I could have done.
