The National Anthem .... Done the right way

[cju84]

This was pretty awesome to watch. ALMOST as awesome as each Blackhawks anthem.

Just kidding, this was cooler.

I agree that this is how it should be. All about the flag and the words, not about the one singing it.

I hate when the singer turns it into a concert for themselves. I've seen them pause so the crowd can cheer them after hitting a high note halfway through the Anthem. I also hate when the artist is making it clear they are trying to show off their singing/music talent by making new versions of it. Just sing it the traditional way.

Agreed. A local DC columnist, Thom Lovero, has a radio show as well. He said the best thing I've heard about the anthem: "It's a fight song, not a ballad." This is so true. It's a song about a victorious battle, not knowing if we won or not, then realizing at the end that we carried the day.

American hockey fans > American wrestling fans.


Not bad though and a great job by the singer.

In fairness, that was September 13, 2001. Maybe a bit too soon to expect much more from the crowd given the magnitude of the situation.

Will leave this a sticky thread until later tonight. No entries in almost 24 hours but a nice thread and let's not forget the victims of the Boston Marathon.

Time to unstick the thread but let's never forget the dead and wounded in this terrible event. Our thought's are with them all.



Boston Strong and USA !!!

Thankfully the fans in Saskatoon did not boo and helped her out at the end.

For some reason I can't help but feel bad for the poor girl even though it was her own stupid fault! I somehow doubt she was suddenly thrown to the wolves as a last second replacement. And if she was that was a bad move on the tournament co-ordinator's part. I'm sure there were many move qualifies singers available. I'll take a bad singer that actually knows the words any day over a good singer that does not.

That was painful to watch. I actually feel sorry for that girl.
