How much disgusting "Ornamentation" (melisma) in the National Anthem singing today?
Why can't they just sing the song as it is written?
Can you imagine a marching band playing the Anthem, and throwing in all those extra notes???

The extra notes...I hate that too. Reminds me of Slim Whitman.

Seems I remember some chick named Whitney something or other, that did pretty well with a minimum of embellishment.

I had never heard or seen the word "melisma" before your post. I feel like I just slept at a Holiday Inn Express!
