And that wasn't' just plain horrible, but just plain disrespectful

Like Paul Harvey used to say * "Here, wash your ears out with this..."

And I appreciate this *comment:

"That's the way it should be done in every national sports? event. We
need to tell the big sports associations there's no need for MTV
stars. Just good voices without the antics."

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!

"I don't understand? why the NFL keeps hiring pop stars to sing the
star spangled banner while all they do is butcher it and mess it up.
This is the way it should always be sung during major sporting events.
Hell this is the way it should always be sung period"

"I don't know who that chick that sang the National Anthem at the
Superbowl this year was but someone needs to send her a copy of this
video so next time she'll know what? the hell she's doing and what
this song is for."

"This rendition of the Nation Anthem should be? presented at every
Super Bowl and National Championship. No more Rock Star Freaks that
forget and butcher the lyrics. I use to watch the half time programs,
no longer since it has become a circus of screaming/yelling apes."

I ask my kids about that crap all the time. At least now she can tell
when someones voice is real, or just created on the sound board like 95%
of the new artists now adays. All you have to do is be willing to pull
your skirt over your head, and the record companies will write you a
"hit" and electronically make it sound like you can sing, or whoever you
are lip sinking to, can...
