Yeah, I don't think in tune vocals would save it

Passive aggressive music ftw!
Refusing to sing any of the expected notes.
Or am I missing some clever musical trick?

It looks/sounds to me
as if she's sung fairly well, then this different key version of the backing track has been swapped in. But what do I knurr?

I'm not sure about my theory any more, having heard her other song.
It's either a 'sociology experiment' of some kind (it's been a while since I took sociology but I can't think of a case study like this) or she's proper tone deaf and delusional.
There is a half tone deafness phenomenon when you're monitoring in headphones or driving or have a cold (like when you sing along with the bassline but then when the chords kick in you realise you were minging well flat or sharp, e.g. UK's Eurovision entry of 2003). But she's not realising or correcting for it.

i recall an anecdote in an old music theory book
the title and author of which i cannot recall right now but the gist was that they were at an event where they were requested to accompany a singer on the piano with a well known tune and after the intro the singer started exactly a fifth out - to save embarrassment they shifted key at an opportune moment only for the singer to then jump a fifth out again and so on... turns out it's a neurological thing some folk have - it was in a chapter on perfect pitch i fink, will check the bookshelf later...

One can often mistake the bass harmonic for the fundamental, I think that one is responsible for a lot of those sort of fuckups.

sure - a common production trick to make things sound bass heavy on little speakers of producing such tones
my point was one of neurological divergence or naturally occurring mutant basilar membranes
psychoacoustics innit

Are we now part of a study?
It's the only explanation. It's some weird sociology experiment. Because she has ears, I can see that.

That's my bet.
I reckon this is all an experiment to see the reaction of strangers online. I'd put money on it being inspired by the Rebecca Black fallout.

I'll admit, I thought you lot's comments were exaggerated
but Jesus wept, surely some sort of trolling going on - no one can really have that lack of self-awareness?

This is what singing in a constantly rotating key signature sounds like.
