The Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors are playing against each other at the Scotiabank Arena in Ontario. People are now analyzing which song was better, but the truth is that both singers did a beautiful job. Fantasia delivered a powerful anthem for the visiting team and Alessia got most of the Canadian crowd to sing along with her. The back-to-back vocal performances were packed with heart and soul.
Oh hey, Barack Obama was at the game, too.
Presidential welcome.#WeTheNorth | @BarackObama pic.twitter.com/2F3iHQ9oHx
