Yeah, awkward is the word I was thinking of also.

There are times for humor. There are times for no humor. This was one of those times.

Ms. Dmitrienko has quite a poker face. I most likely would have had much shorter fuse in such a situation...

Sad that a little research could have saved them this embarrassment.

Laugh with the others, Kazachstan.

Germany was repeatedly expected to make no waves and smile instead when the wrong verses were picked for anthem ceremonies at sports events, it has happened repeatedly to us, and maybe not always just by mistake.

I would advise Kazachstan to laugh even louder than everybody else. Its the only reasonable thing to do in situations like this.
