Personally I feel the national anthem should be changed to America the Beautiful.......

I second that emotion. Or God Bless America.

These so-called singers would butcher those songs, too.

I don't know who wrote America the Beautiful or God Bless America, they are both very excellent songs, but the Star Spangled Banner was written by FS Key, an actual eyewitness to a horrendous attack upon an American military installation when the British tried to capture Baltimore. When you understand the historical significance of the song in greater detail, you can better appreciate why it was adopted as our national anthem and why it fits so perfectly today as we struggle to stop a new invasion by those who want to destroy us and take away our freedom.
