On March 26, Jaime Camil became a trend on social networks and was harshly criticized for his interpretation of singing the United States anthem prior to the start of a National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR) race. English).
The Mexican actor and singer was chosen to sing the anthem of the northern country during the celebration of a race at the Echopark Automotive Grand Prix of the NASCAR Cup Series in Austin, Texas, one of the most commercial and popular automobile categories in the United States , a championship that Camil himself said he was a fan of.
Jaime Camil’s invitation to the ceremony of said event arose because he already has experience in a few other sporting events, since on another occasion he sang the anthem at a baseball game at Dodger Stadium and at a soccer game with LAFC in the MLS, where his compatriot Carlos Vela plays.
However, unlike his two previous performances, this time, the 49-year-old Mexican actor made a mistake in his interpretation, since instead of singing “at the twilight’s last gleaming”, a stanza found in the fourth verse of the song The Star Spagled BannerCamil sang “at the skylight’s last gleaming”, an act that generated controversy and criticism in networks.
