Alicia Keys roasted for bizarre Champions League performance
Three weeks after crowning Leicester City the Premier League champ with a stirring pre-match performance at the King Power Stadium, Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli serenaded those in attendance at the San Siro ahead of Saturday's Champions League final.
While Bocelli's performance was captivating, including a dazzling version of the Champions League anthem while sporting Claudio Ranieri's best suit, the one that preceded it left a lot to be desired.
American chanteuse Alicia Keys kicked off the ceremonies with 2012's "Girl on Fire" followed by "Empire State of Mind" and some other song that had the 80,000 present reaching for their pillows. A girl may have been on fire, but that performance most certainly was not.
Naturally, pundits and fans alike on Twitter held nothing back in assessing Keys' efforts:
