Watch Carrie Underwood’s Save of “America the Beautiful” at the Inauguration, “Opera Singer” Right Out of “Broadway Danny Rose”

I’ll give credit to Carrie Underwood.

She saved her performance at the Inauguration of “America the Beautiful.” When the pre-recorded glitch happened, everyone froze. But Underwood picked up the baton and started singing a capella. It was the right move. Her voice started out shaky, but eventually she hit her stride.

Nothing was worse than “opera singer” Christopher Macchio. He reminded me of Nick Apollo-Forte from “Broadway Danny Rose.” He didn’t even wear a tie! They should have had Ralph Macchio!

And so it all begins.
