Rufus Wainwright really tried his best to sing O Canada at the World Series

Rufus Wainwright's Performance of O Canada at the World Series

In defense of Rufus Wainwright, a Canadian-American who sang the National Anthem at Dodger Stadium prior to Game 5 of the World Series, mistakes happen.

It can be intimidating to sing in front of 40,000+ fans, and it seems many American fans did not notice Wainwright's error.

A correct performance of the Canadian anthem on baseball's grandest stage is warranted and expected, especially given the current state of Canada-United States relations.

Wainwright surely knows the words or else he wouldn't have volunteered to sing the song in the first place.

Author's summary: Rufus Wainwright's mistake while singing O Canada at the World Series is understandable.
