The parents of 11-year-old Harper Gruzins are defending their daughter's performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" before Saturday's Galaxy-FC Dallas match, claiming critics who called it the worst national anthem performance ever are "mean and hateful."

Gruzins blamed vuvuzelas for the off-key performance in a Fox News interview:


It wasn't my best performance because I couldn't hear myself and the blowhorns got me off key [...] But God allowed this to happen, so I know it's what he wants. So I wouldn't change it. Next time I hope there's no blowhorns.

Gruzins's mother Kelli blamed technical difficulties though neither technology nor vuvuzelas can explain how Harper managed to turn a song that usually lasts 60 seconds into three minutes of ear-splitting misery.

What does her age have to do with anything? :-s

I've seen kids that are younger that have sung amazingly. This kid can't sing, it was an abysmal performance, and her parents should be slapped upside the head multiple times each for lying to their precious snowflake and telling her she actually is a good singer.

I was about to go looking for that smiley...Although I hate the things with a passion. The 2010 World Cup Games felt like shit to watch because of the constant Vuvuzela drone in the background. During the european cup this summer, the restaurant next door had a big screen in their garden so their customers could watch the matches. One evenig, well past our kids' bedtime, some cretins let their pubescent kid loose with a vuvzela over there and he'd honk it for minutes on end. My wife ended up spraying him with the garden hose and threatened to beat him with it if he'd honk the fucking thing again...
