Alcione explains confusion in interpretation of the national anthem alongside Belo

Singer Alcione commented, through her advisor, what happened during her performance of the national anthem alongside singer Belo, on Sunday (31). What was supposed to be a great duet at the opening of the Brazilian team's friendly game against Panama ended up as a confusing interpretation, which was criticized by the public.

The artist explained that there was a problem with the audio feedback and that the musical basis of the anthem was delayed. The delay disrupted the duo's rhythm, which ended with an uneven song that sounded bad to the rest of the stadium.

On the web, internet users wasted no time and criticized the performance: "Whoever had the idea of having Belo and Alcione sing the anthem has to be fired", wrote one of the profiles. "Belo and Alcione letting the anthem die", said another spectator.

"Belo and Alcione clearly in trouble", said another. "They didn't know how to sing the anthem? Unbelievable," commented one internet user. "Alcione may not let samba die, but today the national anthem was basic", joked another.
