Bit of a tempest in a teapot... A lot of people were complaining (mostly olds) about Nelly's performance. Said she should follow the original tempo, so other could sing along. i disagree...How many great Star Spangled Banner variations are there. Her version actually brought a lump. ..Way to go Nelly. That was art. Go to the 3:00 minute mark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vJUgv-SU_o
In the first line, she seems to say "Oh Kanata". Which is Iroquoian for "village/settlement". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_Canada
