Charlie Sheen launched his “My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Defeat is Not an Option” tour at the Fox Theatre in Detroit Saturday night.

Oakland University junior Lisa Jacques was one of two women selected to sing the national anthem at the comedy show.

“I entered the contest because I really love to sing and I thought it would be a really cool experience,” Jacques, an operations management major, said.

With the help of radio station Channel 95.5 and Mojo in the Morning, Jacques sang a duet with model and former porn actress, Kelley Jean. Though she had fun singing, Jacques said the event itself was a disaster.

“The night was pretty much a mess from beginning to end,” Jacques said. “The mood backstage was chaotic, and it seemed like no one really knew what was going on.”

In videos that were submitted online to the radio station, Jacques was selected by Sheen himself.

“The contestants were all narrowed down by Rachel (Channel 95.5 executive producer) and myself and placed into categories of who was legit good and who was just funny,” said Jamie Gasper, a sophomore majoring in communications and intern at Channel 95.5. “We called different contestants to put on air as well … after the contestants were narrowed down, Charlie actually selected the winners.”

Jacques said she never had any vocal training, and her performance for the former “Two and a Half Men” star was the first time she ever sang on a stage.

“Although my performance wasn’t perfect, I’m still really happy with it, given it was my first time ever performing,” Jacques said.

After her performance, Jacques joined friends in the crowd to watch the show.

“Overall, the show was pretty bad. However, the audience never really gave him a chance to get anything going,” Jacques said. “From the first two minutes of the opening act, people were continually booing and by the end of the show it only got worse. People bought tickets to a show they knew nothing about so I think there were a lot of really high expectations of someone who isn’t a stand up comedian or a live performer of any kind. It was awkward being in the audience because I legitimately felt bad for him.”

The night, which involved the crowd booing the actor off the stage, was the first stop of his tour.

“Critics said the anthem was the best part of the night, since the show tanked,” Gasper said. “We also have an intern here that was super excited because she loved Charlie and now she’s depressed because the show sucked.”

Jacques said she would love to perform on stage  in front of an audience again, but never again for Charlie Sheen.
