Baffled Anne Hathaway fans were all saying the same thing about the star’s bizarre singing election day post urging the public to vote.
Hathaway, 42, who belted out Somebody To Love at a Kamala Harris rally last month, launched a rendition of Sabrina Carpenter’s hit Please, Please, Please on Instagram on Tuesday – but wrote the lyrics of the choice.
The post was captioned: “Wow… hearing that there are huge lines at colleges and universities everywhere but especially in Pennsylvania.
‘Please stay in line! Please let & know where you are and they’ll try to get you some pizza and music – democracy needs to be fed (and needs a beat).
“MOST IMPORTANT if you are in line before the polls close, stay in line, even after closing time. The polls will be open until everyone in that row has voted! These are your rights! Thank you voters!

She then sang: ‘Please, please, please stay on the line, please, please, please, especially at UPenn and Temple, just bide your time.
‘Voting is magical, but also annoying, you’ve waited so long, let’s make it not boring, please, please, stay in line.’
Fans quickly took to the comments section to slam the star for ‘crumpling’ and ‘self-involved’ for the video.
One wrote: “It was absolutely one of the scariest things I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching” while another wrote: “This is creepy.”
A third wrote: “Too many videos of her being extremely rude and self involved in interviews. Get some perspective on who you are and your actual place in this world.. so insecure and pretentious.”
Others wrote: “Yet another actress with a very inflated view of her opinion, “Poor Anna did all this for nothing” after Trump’s victory and “Ugh shut up! You are unbearable!
Others praised the Oscar winner’s singing, saying: “THAT’S OUR QUEEN OF GENOVIA” and “You’re such a queen because you use your voice and your platform.”
The song video brought back memories of 2020 when Gal Gadot and celebrity friends were branded “out of touch” by social media users after beating their powers while isolating themselves to sing a version of John Lennon’s Imagine to share online.

Hard fit: While the A-listers were aiming for heartfelt feelings, the internet wasn’t having it, quickly taking to social media to slam the stars for their terrifying display
While the A-listers were aiming for heartfelt feelings, the internet wasn’t having it, quickly taking to social media to slam the stars for their terrifying display.
“I don’t know how millionaires singing about ‘no possessions’ from their mansions is going to ease my anxiety,” one user wrote.
“How out of touch is this?” asked a Twitter user about the video montage, which features the likes of Natalie Portman, Amy Adams, Zoe Kravitz, among others.
Asking the stars to put their money where their mouth is, someone else shared: “Cheesy and embarrassing, until they donate money I (couldn’t) care less about this video.”
“Just watched the celebrity movie Imagine and now the coronavirus doesn’t scare me anymore,” joked another.
“The video of celebrities singing Imagine to us from the comfort of their homes is exactly what Jenna Maroney would have done if there was a pandemic on 30 Rock,” someone else wrote, referring to the fictional sketch show diva played by Jane Krakowski.
“This is so freaking how did this even happen do they have a gc (group chat) and gal gadot was like hey you know what would lift everyone’s spirits? An awkward rendition of Imagine,” someone else wrote.
Many were disappointed with who they thought were their favorite celebrities.
“I see some celebs from my face singing in the gal gadot video,” one person tweeted with a reaction photo of two people grimacing.
Hathaway was recently part of a star-studded event called Broadway for Harris, which included Whoopi Goldberg, Billy PorterRosie Perez and others.
She took to the stage — following her appearance on The Apprentice premiere — and insisted she was voting for Kamala Harris, adding that she would “make some room tonight” for the undecided voter (via Yay Show Vids).
She wanted the undecided voter to “consider an issue they might be struggling with,” before singing the first line of the 1976 hit: “Can anybody find me/Somebody to love?”

The actress took to the stage in a shimmering black blazer/skirt with thigh high black boots on stage.
Towards the end of the performance, she continued with a short impassioned appeal to everyone to vote on November 5.
“America, the day we have to be free is November 5th. We have a big choice to make, America, and you have to make a choice, you have to vote,” she said to applause.
‘And maybe in this choice… maybe the one you love, is you. You have to vote for yourself, America, Hathaway said.
She finished the song to rapturous applause from the audience, blew kisses to the audience and started a Kamala chant before walking off the stage.
The actress was just 21 when she first sang the song on screen, in a scene from Ella Enchanted.
Ella – under a spell to obey all commands – is asked to sing, which she sheepishly does at first before breaking into a thrilling performance in the film.
The jukebox musical — released two years before her breakthrough role in 2006’s The Devil Wears Prada — took in just $27.4 million at the box office from a $31 million budget.
The performance comes just after Hathaway signed on to reprise two of her previous roles in recent months.
