Most Americans canNOT sing the Anthem. That's why they substitute
America The Beautiful most of the time. What a disgrace. Her using
that wavy bull**** style.

Yeah, that warbly excuse for singing makes my skin crawl.... in ANY
song....

Amen.

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:

They both suck.

Yeah, but if one does it well,t hen many think they can do it well,
then it becomes a trend.

Then it begins to get stale.

Yup. They ought to leave that for the trumpets!

need to tell the big sports associations there's no need for MTV

Perhaps we need a different national anthem. 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.

I almost responded with an 'LOL', but the truth is not something to laugh at.
That's the first time I've ever read the lyrics. I can see why our local
liberals would love socialism.

'Course, it didn't last 'forever'.

I'm simply not impressed by your superficial, odious, fake patriotism.
Fake, because your racism is your defining characteristic.

Well, Harry and Paul seem ready to chuck the National Anthem. Perhaps they've
never heard it sung properly.

Here, the way it *can* be sung.

If it was good enough for Clinton, it's good enough for me!
