at least it wasn’t the talentless (these days) pedophile Steven Tyler
How about a signed contract that if they flub it, they pay a penalty fee.
Right...she should has have been listening to Steve Tyler to get prepped up!
I missed that due to the crowd booing whenever they showed the giants on the screen. Why would you boo during the national anthem?
Obviously, a teleprompter should be provided ;-)
Times have changed. I am always bothered by those who don’t show any respect during the anthem. No removing their hats/caps, no hands on their hearts, nothing. Bad enough any time, but especially poor on national TV before a playoff game. Just no respect at all.
Thx Sgt!
They should have just played, “The Corporate Anthem of The Western Economic Zone”.
That didn’t bother me as much as the fact that she sang the anthem at funeral march tempo. As so many do these days.
Public events should begin with the following words:
Ladies and Gentlemen, please join in the singing of our National Anthem.
I heard Steve Tyler was pretty worthless, too. I think Carl Lewis (who was apologizing during the song) gets the award for worst, but the list of celebrities butchering the National Anthem is long and distinguished.
Do you perchance have a link that works?
This version of the anthem is the best I have heard at a sporting event:

With very few exceptions there isn’t anyone under the age of fifty who could sing the National Anthem let alone even knows it exists.
She may have messed up that word, but she sang it with respect and had a beautiful voice. She didn’t try to turn it into a soul or rock song.
Anyone who tries to sing it without the words on a “cheat sheet” is an idiot, and deserves major damage to their career.
