The National Anthem Before Packers-Lions Did Not Go Especially Smoothly

Just who is Jose?

Seemed to me that it threw off her timing.  Not a horrific recovery and far from the worst performance of the National Anthem, I think that “honor” still belongs squarely with Roseanne Barr.

Her short career is done.

Packers thumped the Lions.

I didn’t think it was that bad.  She should have just kept on going.  But, her voice is beautiful nonetheless.

Make sure you watch Carl Lewis, too!

She recovered well enough.  It could have been worse…

Botching a word wasn’t as bad as her annnoying effort to sound “country” at the expense of genuine singing.

She’s got the country cliche style down pat.

If she would just sing and not worry about sounding “country,” we’d all be better off.

You’re right. She could have been clubbed in the face by a deranged fan.

She was just emulating Christina Aguilera. Congress is expected to conduct hearings on whether blondes should be forbidden from singing our sacred anthem.

jealous are you? can u do it as well as she did? she’s amazing!

who?

She is as country as they get.  Obviously, you do not know who she is.

She is country so get over it already.

Didn’t watch the video, huh?  If you had, you would know who she is.  D’oh!

bumsrush and Liz McKenzie need to hook up.

With all the botching of our National Anthem lately, I think it is time to only allow military choruses to sing it.  They NEVER get it wrong.  Virtually everyone who sings it takes liberties with it by adding extra notes and trilling.  just sing it the way it was written and honor our heritage and these embarrassing moments will stop..

She still sang it incorrectly.  Most who sing it add extra notes in the “banner yet waves’ part.  Maybe these singers need to be tutored before they are allowed to sing it.

“sounding country”….. Why? Because of her accent?

Stop “over souling” and it will probably sound a hell of a lot better.  Most female singers think they have to use vocal gymnastics instead of just singing pure melody.  NOT!!

Fact: I am surprised she made it as far as she did with the
public school union education. Today’s schools don’t honor the flag and what it
stands for since we are over ran by liberal socialist!!!

You can’t sing it the way it was written.  You would have to speak it since Francis Scott Key wrote it as a poem, not a song. It was later set to the tune of a British drinking song called To Anacreon in Heaven.

How do you know where she went to school?

Nice recovery and except for the melismas, roulades and such as,  close to being on-pitch in the upper tessitura.  Still better than the screechifier who, um “sang” the N.A. at the most recent Repub debate (the one during which Rick Santorum called Africa a country).

VandenBosch’s red colored contacts make him look like an evil, crazy dude, which is how he plays.

Like most young people I bet she can’t tell you what a rampart is either…….It’s the extra notes so many put into the song that makes me want to cry.  If they can’t sing it right, then they shouldn’t try.

AT  some point we have to accept the National Anthem is a nightmare song to sing.

Her voice was great.

Maybe her vocal coach was Rick Perry!

And if she went to a charter school in Texas?  Oops, there goes your whack job ideal!!!!
