Re: The Correct Singing Of The National Anthem
I am saying it has been commercialized and therefore cheapened. Do you disagree with this take? Is saying so an issue for you?

Re: The Correct Singing Of The National Anthem
Associating the national anthem with the SuperBowl, commercializes it. Anything that is commercialized is cheapened to an extent, IMO. It becomes commonplace and over hyped for the wrong reasons.

Keep at it, you will get there eventually and get my rational. Or you could just read SS33's post and the reason why everyone does it now...in doing so you just might realize everything I have said is far from "silliest things."

Re: The Correct Singing Of The National Anthem
Totally agree, that "performance" was far more offensive to me than the anthem.

Re: The Correct Singing Of The National Anthem
She F... up the verse. I have no problem with that. She did not do that nonsense on purpose and if she could get that moment back....she would! I have a bigger problem with the "personalization" of the National Anthem. IMO sing like it is, don't interpret...just MO. If I were the NFL, I would demand to hear the version that will be sung at the game, before game day.
BUT OMG....I have NEVER seen a worse half time show FAIL.........NFL

Re: The Correct Singing Of The National Anthem
I think in the future they should just have a regular singer, someone who will perform the national anthem as it is written, and sung in the traditional sense.
No need to put all the bullshit on it and all the crazy vocal runs. Just sing it nice and normal. This police officer did a fine job. YouTube - WORST National Anthem EVER. On a funny note, watch this guy. Also a police officer, he hilariously butchers most of the words, while keeping the melody intact. YouTube - Cop butchers National Anthem

Re: The Correct Singing Of The National Anthem
This is ridiculous, no one has a monopoly on how to sing it correctly...they are all renditions...just have some talent and say the words and you'll do fine.

Re: The Correct Singing Of The National Anthem
^Agreed. As long as you aren't pulling a Roseanne and being flat out disrespectful.
By the way, I was reclining my last flight. I was hoping you were sitting behind me.
