I pred...Where's Kate Smith when you need her? <br /><br />I predict that the next artist that sings the National Anthem without the "stylized" vocals, will get a standing ovation not only in the stands, but from most living rooms in America. I think we're pretty much fed up with the ghettofication of the song. <br /><br />Aguilera went one step beyond... she messed up the lyrics. Inexcusable for a professional. My daughter sings the National Anthem for many of her high school games and she's never forgotten the lyrics.cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643953500851342983.post-23468238668791274932011-02-07T09:19:47.041-05:002011-02-07T09:19:47.041-05:00Ghettofied indeed!

You're right, it seems like another concert to me. Makes you wonder if she screwed it up by concentrating too much on style. <br /><br />I personally think most high school kids do a better job at high school football games. They may not have the clarity or range of voice but singing it is an honor to them.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467510776931664234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643953500851342983.post-9570813686119578622011-02-07T05:21:51.186-05:002011-02-07T05:21:51.186-05:00I didn't mind the styling.

That was followed by Jimi Hendirx at Woodstock in 69. It seems like since then, every artist has tried to do their own rendition and outdo their predecessors. Some renditions are okay, some not. Sometimes I am left wondering if it means anything to these people singing at these events or if it is just another gig. <br /><br />Actually, the anthem was played slightly differently at various periods in time. For example, when you reproduce it with 1820s instruments and tempo, it sounds quite a bit different than it did in the 1850s and it changed again even in the Civil War. I am talking instrumentals here, like military bands.Alligatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764752508206031685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1643953500851342983.post-89792970048084435382011-02-06T21:07:35.482-05:002011-02-06T21:07:35.482-05:00I can't believe how stoned or stupid that wenc...I can't believe how stoned or stupid that wench is!
