Thanks, I had completely forgotten about that.
“the ancient Greek poet Anacreon.. renowned for his drinking songs and odes to love.” (Wikipedia, horrible place!)
(But wisdom is justified of her children.)
Whitney Houston changed the tempo too. Faster. It’s an iconic rendition talked about to this day.
She’s OK in my book. She married Ty Murray and lived on his ranch outside of Stephenville. Ty was buds with Lane Frost ( movie 8 Seconds). I like that her kid’s middle name is Townes.. after Townes Van Zandt, one of the greatest songwriters ever.
all i really remember about her was some great rackage....
I really have no idea what her politics are, which is perfectly fine with me. As the father of a little girl, her song, "My Father's Daughter," inspires me to be the kind of dad my little girl would some day want to sing about.
Perhaps one thing I like about her, unlike most celebrities is her ability to laugh at herself:
I saw it and couldn’t finish it, what was she thinking. Every time I hear the NA I think of Whitney Houston at the Super Bowl in 91.
Darn people get triggered by everything nowadays. I’m just glad she stood for the anthem
Who?
Horrible.
And what happened to her face?
I don’t think anyone will ever top Whiney Houston’s rendition. It was THE most stirring and beautiful version ever................
This is why I love NHL games, they often have military or at the very least singers who can actually sing the National Anthem and they do a great, respectful rendition of the great song. Hockey is possibly the last bastion of sport that hasn’t been spoiled by the woke crowd. GO VEGAS!!!
Of course with hockey games, you normally get two anthems for the price of one.
Notice that all of the gods mentioned are Roman. For some reason, when the British, in past centuries, invoked pagan deities, they were always Roman gods, not Greek.
She was before his performance but after “God Bless America”.
Yeah, I thought he performance was okay. Not my fave, but not disrespectful.
I have a broad tolerance for accepting various interpretations as long as they aren’t disrespectful. I really like Madison Risings rendition https://youtu.be/TSNT5BCP04o
I completely agree. It was a nice rendition. She has a great voice. Haters gotta hate I guess. Of course, the best part was the cool fly-over!

Flag haters, them all.
It was a low-quality version of our National Anthem. Hopefully, she’ll do better next time, if there is a next time.
After Roseann Barr’s version, anything above that is acceptable............
