'I sang the facts,' says Jully Black about 1-word change to O Canada at NBA All-Star game | CBC News

Jully Black is drawing attention for a subtle change she made to the lyrics of O Canada at Sunday's NBA All-Star game.

"Jully Black says the subtle change she made to the lyrics of O Canada at Sunday's NBA All-Star game was the result of a long reflection.

"I sang the facts. We are walking, breathing, living, experiencing life on native land. On Indigenous land," the Juno award-winning R&B singer told The National on Monday.

Black performed the national anthem before the game in Salt Lake City, Utah, and altered one line to recognize the Indigenous peoples who lived on the land before European settlers.

Black swapped out the anthem's usual opening line "O Canada, our home and native land," with "O Canada, our home on native land," adding a slight emphasis to the word "on" when she sang."

A few days ago Black Canadian R&B Jully Black was asked to sing the anthem at an NBA game. She changed one word. See if you can spot it:

"O, Canada...our home on native land"

Tell me what you see When you look at me, This is not enough You want someone else Or you love yourself Too much to love someone else

I'm right here with you I'm not scared of you You the one running from Somethin' really real I really need to know now

Is this imaginary love Imaginary trust Imaginary everything that we have ever felt

Currently listening to Jully Black and reminding myself how gorgeous her voice is! Happy Sunday!

“Jully Black has no right to change the words to the national anthem” aren’t you the same people always crying about freedom of speech?
