I liked the jazzy interpretation because it represented New Orleans music.

No one can ever out-do Whitney Houston’s national anthem................

Wow, amazing how this country continues to exist in 2 different worlds, I thought it sucked. I agree. That performance was the epitome of “look at me!” The anthem should not draw attention to the singer, but instead to the flag. It’s not about you!
Sung correctly, the performer should be irrelevant, unless they make a mistake.

It was a lot better than the halftime show. That’s for sure. I felt like opening a new can of rat poison.

Our national anthem should be sung in reverence. It is not some jazz standard to vocally riff over.

She was such a mess, though. LOL

It was fine, what was despicable was the halftime rap.

Agree. Batiste’s version was very good, very classy and very smooth.

Ok, we’ll have to agree to disagree about this.

Well I was happy the halftime show dancers were wearing red white and blue and stood in formation of the American flag. Not a particular fan of rap music, some of it is excellent I admit but I don’t seek it out - but that was good on Kendrick. Made me happy anyway.

I heard less than 15 seconds. Turned volume off as fast as I could. Love music. Hated that.
