Remember that scene in The Neverending Story where Atreyu anxiously watches a brave knight attempt to cross the pass that's guarded by those two statues with gigantic boobs, only to see the knight get vaporized by lightning bolts that shoot from the statues' eyes? Atreyu wants the knight to make it through, but knows that's probably not going to happen.
That's exactly how I feel when I watch someone try to sing the National Anthem at a Thunder game. I get all nervous and want them to succeed and make it through the entire song unscathed, but before the singer grabs that mic and belts that first note, I know it's probably not going to end well.
