NFL fans were left outraged by the rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner before Sunday\u2019s international game in Madrid.<\/p>\n

Ahead of kickoff at the international game between the Washington Commanders and Miami Dolphins at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium for the first-ever NFL game hosted in Spain, American pop singer Karina Pasian performed the US anthem, followed by the Madrid Marine Infantry Group Band\u2019s rendition of the Spanish national anthem.<\/p>\n

Pasian wore a black mini dress with a deep cowl neckline, paired with thigh-high stockings, garters, and long gloves that reached over her elbows during her performance.<\/p>\n

However, the 34-year-old Grammy-nominated singer\u2019s attire drew sharp criticism from NFL fans, who commented under a video of her performance posted on X <\/a>by the NFL that Pasian\u2019s outfit overshadowed her vocals.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cNice, but why did she have to dress like a hooker?\u201d wrote one commenter.<\/p>\n

\u201cGreat to see the sharing of sport and competition with other countries!! Karina\u2019s rendition of the US national anthem was lovely, but why is she dressed like a hooker? Also very refreshing to see none of the players kneeling during the anthem (at least on camera),\u201d one user boldly questioned.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe outfit was a bit inappropriate but her voice was beautiful,\u201d another wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy is she dressed like a cabaret dancer? Takes away all solemnity from the anthem,\u201d another added.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho dresses like that to sing a national anthem. Zero home training. Shame,\u201d said another<\/p>\n

Though some thought Pasian\u2019s wardrobe missed the mark, the majority applauded her outstanding performance of the national anthem.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot many people can sing that song well. She knocked it out of the park. Great job. Love it,\u201d one user commented.<\/p>\n

\u201ccool seeing her get that spotlight in madrid, first nfl game there needed a moment like that. anthem sounded clean and the crowd locked in right away,\u201d one user commented.<\/p>\n

\u201cBringing her powerhouse vocals across the Atlantic \u2026 Karina Pasian,\u201d wrote another.<\/p>\n

\u201cHistoric game, historic vocals. She delivered!\u201d another added.<\/p>\n

Pasian \u2014 a New York City native now living in Madrid \u2014 was tapped to perform the anthem ahead of Sunday\u2019s first-ever game in Spain. The Dolphins would beat the Commanders 16 \u2013 13 in a stunning overtime win.<\/p>\n

At just 13, Pasian caught the eye of major record labels, including Def Jam, Interscope, and Bad Boy, and eventually signed with Def Jam in 2006.<\/p>\n

Her career includes a Grammy nomination for \u201cCan\u2019t Find the Words\u201d in the Best Contemporary R&B category and a 2007 performance at the White House for President George W. Bush during Black Music Month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
