Vanity - How the National Anthem was meant to sound!
An Email ^

Posted on 02/26/2008 5:45:52 PM PST by Slump Tester

This is a video of the Cactus Cuties, Young ladies ranging in age from 8 to 13 singing The Star Spangled Banner.

The performance was at the Texas Tech vs Texas basketball game January 20, 2008 in front of over 11,000 people.

These young girls can REALLY sing!

Nice.
But I’ve always argued it should be changed to Ray Charles’ America the Beautiful

Was trying to contrast that nice performance with Macy Grey's unholy abortion of a rendition from 2001, but thankfully that video's not readily available.

“But I’ve always argued it should be changed to Ray Charles’ America the Beautiful”

And you don’t think the libs would change, “god spread his grace on thee”?

I’ll bet they have some mighty proud parents.

The NFL should book them for next year’s Super Bowl!

Um, that’s “God shed His Grace on thee”. DH’s great-aunt wrote those words.
