I didn’t find it disrespectful. She sang it like she meant what she was singing
I just thought it was a lousy rendition for that venue. Right after a beautiful, upbeat version of America the Beautiful and before an equally upbeat Back Home Again in Indiana, she brings the ceremonies to a screeching halt.
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!
I agree. She made it slow, but it was not disrespectful and making and issue out of this is stupid.
I wasn’t nuts about it but really, it was okay.
Yes, I thought it was pretty good.
Whitney Houston changed the tempo too. Faster. It’s an iconic rendition talked about to this day.
“ I didn’t find it disrespectful. She sang it like she meant what she was singing”
Me neither. I didn’t even realize it was jewel cause I haven’t seen her in forever and her teeth are fixed lol but it looked like a country singer.
When she was finished I thought that was probably one of the *best* national anthems I had ever heard and I’ve heard a lot of them.
Strange how people hear such different things from the same song.
I don’t even particularly like country music but her rendition was just awesome IMO
Still doesn’t make it the National anthem. That already exists. If you can’t song it don’t take the gig
