This Blog Is Full Of Crap

I have a few questions regarding this incident:

At the start of the event Tuesday morning, City Council President Michael Hancock introduced singer Rene Marie to perform the national anthem.

Instead, she performed the song "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing," which is also known as the "black national anthem."

When she finished, the audience responded with mild applause. The national anthem was never performed.

Marie told 9NEWS she kept her plans to switch songs quiet until the very last moment. She says only she, her husband and a friend knew she was going to sing something other than the "Star-Spangled Banner."

Was she paid to sing?

Was she paid in advance?

Was she paid to sing a particular song?

Forget all the ruckus and roaring going on. It sounds like a simple breach of contract issue to me.
