Homepage *http://pamandgene.tranquilrefuge.net/boating/the_boat/my_boat.htm Forté Agent 6.00 Build 1186 The other thing that gets me is this: Americans are VERY patriotic. But MOST Americans CANNOT sing their " patriotic " National Anthem. They now substitute " America The Beautiful" , due to the fact that most CAN sing this lovely song.I do think it is a very nice song. When I was a boy in public school, we used to HAVE to sing "God Save The Queen" and say the Lords Prayer EVERY morning. After several years, it became singing O Canada, followed by the Lords Prayer. Now, BOTH have been cut from any curriculum, just to be " politically correct". I find this disgusting. I'm sure that singing of the American Anthem is still done in most schools. Texas for sure. They seem to be the ONLY State, that held FIRM to that. Bully for Texas !! |

Amen. yeah, after going back and hearing it, she is also an idiot... but I still think she came in with good intent... I just can't agree. She's among a big hand full of singers who think they should add their own 'melodies,' or whatever that ****'s called, to the National Anthem. I've never heard it work well. Going up the octave on the word 'free' isn't too bad, if the singer can do it well, but that gal just sucked all the way around. Hell, she belongs right up there with this gal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ls1YVhcLD2c They both suck. |

The one we have is a difficult "sing" under the best of circumstances. The words are ok, no better than ok, but the music is just awful. "America the Beautiful" is a far, far better song. "This land is your land" no longer is applicable, since the corporations now own about everything mentioned. |

Perhaps they've never heard it sung properly. Here, the way it *can* be sung. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ETrr-XHBjE If it was good enough for Clinton, it's good enough for me! |
