Being a veteran, the Madison Rising version (and video) bring goose bumps up...It brings the actions that started our country to mind...
I don’t think either version is disrespectful at all...I just prefer one over the other...

Watch a rodeo. It might be sung on horseback but lots of respect and tradition will be shown.

"Sure, every rendition of the SSB should sound exactly like one this because everyone living today can completely identify with the original 1814 rendition as originally written and sung."
Do you think those opposed to tuck-friendly children's bathing suits are advocating for a return to 18th century swimwear?

Style was the point. If you select a country singer, then you’ll get that. If you select a soloist or group from the services, you’ll get that. The responsibility falls before the first note is played.

For being a “pro” level entertainer, she plays and sings somewhere between a high level beginner to a low level intermediate. I certainly hope the corporate office who hired this mediocre (at best) performer didn’t get stiffed too badly.

Much more attuned to this crisp, up-beat version.
Not so sure about the choral aspects , though.

Disrespectful? No
A complete bore that was totally out of context for a great event like the Indy 500?? Absolutely
You had a great version of God Bless America which got the crowd hyped, and Jim Cornelius (spell) doing his great rendition of Back Home Again in Indiana
In between was this snoozer by Jewel.

Me too. HartleyMBaldwin. Me.too.. I’m at a point now where I am unsure what the National Anthem actually sounds like. Sigh.
I am, however, getting so old I might be allowed to sing it myself...as she walk off into the sunset whistling away.

I like “proud” with all the accidentals. Schoenberg would be happy.

Yodeling at the end. Perfect description, and I’m going to use it when appropriate.

Everyone's taste in music is different but for me, Whitney Houston's version from the 1991 Super Bowl is perfection. Goose bumps every time I hear it. Yes, a great rendition, but I also seem to recall she was criticized by some at the time for wearing a track suit and making the SSB into a “pop song”.
As you said, to each their own.
I also liked this version of the SSB by Lady Ga Ga.

The irony is that very few singers have the vocal range to sing it. Often they have to drop it an octave to get through the high parts.
I think Jimi Hendrix opened the gates with his instrumental rendition at Woodstock, which is not bad at all. From that point, performers decided they could interpret it, for better or worse.
