With singer Gladys Knight having performed the national anthem at the Super Bowl, there was contention by some who wished she had not given the controversy surrounding Colin Kaepernick.
She defended her decision to preform [sic] on Friday during her interview on CNN.
“People are going to have their opinions. You know, about whatever. And all I can deal with, all I can deal with right now is what my heart says. Okay? I believe in fairness,” Knight explained. “I believe in truth. I believe in all of those things, and as far as this is concerned, I grew up with the national anthem. We used to sing it in school before school started. We used to say prayers in school before school started, and we just don’t have that anymore and I’m just — I’m just hoping that it will be about our country and how we treat each other and being the great country that we are.”

No one should listen to anything Don Lemon says, anyway.
She is 74 and has decades worth of hit records.
Your career will NEVER be able to hold a candle to hers, Don.
Knight probably knows a lot of people by now. Lemon should be careful not to threaten her again.
why don’t these Jack*sses move to another country. I’m sick of them always complaining about this country.
Lemon isn’t fit to wipe her backside.
L
What? No Pips?
She was wonderful!
Exactly, Don Lemon will always be a nobody.
Her voice is still golden.
Wonderful performance Mrs Knight.
Gladys is a pip. Who knew?
I wish she’d told him that was the stupidest thing she’d heard in her live and walked off the set.
Start treating these idiots with the respect they deserve: i.e. none.
HARM her “career” to sing our National Anthem? the big question is why Don Lemon has a job this morning, instead of being fired for un-American activities.
I grew up with the national anthem. We used to sing it in school before school started. We used to say prayers in school before school started, and we just don’t have that anymore and I’m just — I’m just hoping that it will be about our country and how we treat each other and being the great country that we are.”

Amen, Gladys.
Don doesn’t think we are a great country.
This is Gladys Knight, one of the biggest stars alive. I would have to look up Don Lemon to figure out who that mouse is. I doubt that Gladys is worried.
A lot of people have abandoned football because of krappernik
She looked gorgeous and sang gorgeous! So did the two beautiful young ladies who sang America the Beautiful before Gladys!
The above and the flyover was the best part of all!
Lemon is a totalitarian.
Listened to him once, dubbed him the Fruit Bat. Seems MSNBCLGBT nor CNN can’t find sane people to hire. Or consult. Or program. Now I want a BLT sandwich.
This beyond laughable.....................
The only candle Don that burns for Don is his boyfriend's white one up his bung.
