Lady Gaga will be singing the national anthem during the pregame festivities.

Whose? Ours?

[napscoordinator]

You know. I hated her until she got with Tony Bennet. I think he has made her more acceptable.

Guess Roseanne was busy. Seriously, as long as she comes out normal and just sings, it will be good.

[Dilbert San Diego]

“Lady Gag” has been very active pushing homosexual causes.

[ozaukeemom]

She can sing and sing well. Much better than some I could think of.

[Reaper19]

On the handful of occasions I’ve heard her sing like a normal person she seems to have a decent enough voice. That said she’s more likely to come out wearing a dress made out of baby doll heads and sing an autotuned version of the Mongolian anthem than do anything resembling “normal.”

[Army Air Corps]

Bingo.

[Leaning Right]

I hated her until she got with Tony Bennett. I think he has made her more acceptable.

My thoughts exactly.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Geez. I sure am going to hate to miss it but I'll be outside all day Sunday watching the snow melt since there won't be anything to watch on TV. Why not just give the Panthers the trophy now and have a Twilight Zone marathon all day.

They were likely thinking they were very lucky to land a singer who could actually sing.

He may be acceptable as a singer/singer’s mentor but he is a total loon politically.

[Know et al]

I have no desire to see or hear Lady Gargoyle.

As far as I know, viewing the SB continues to be optional.

Lady Gaga is a trained vocalist, attending New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. Check out her performing a montage of Sound of Music tunes.

Her music is often heard on the SiriusXM "Siriusly Sinatra" channel.

She is an odd person, but she does have tremendous pipes. I will be interested to see what she does with this. Hoping it will be good.

[Jolla]

I don’t know about they but I think she has one of the most wonderful voices heard in a long time.

“as long as she comes out normal and just sings, it will be good.”

True. . .but what are the odds of that happening?

[bramps]

They are proving that brain damage is caused by big hits.

[Seaplaner]

She can a talented singer, if she sings it rather than lip-syncs a previously canned recording, and if she sings the Star Spangled Banner in a stirring and enthusiastic manor, and if she sings it as written with no vocal or tonal "editorializing" (and if she's not dressed up for Halloween or a clothing optional beach), then it will have been a good choice.

She won't of course and it wasn't.

I hope she will go old school and do it justice. I hate the singers who use the anthem as an excuse to sing scales. Give it to me straight and sincerely and not as a platform to show off. (I like to sing along.)
