All I felt, other than being pissed that yet another decent singer screws up the national anthem, is a small appreciation for instant karma.
She made the honor of singing our national anthem all about her singing and she screwed it up royally.
With all that talent and ability, she could have watered my eyes and put a patriotic lump in my throat with the anthem. Instead, I just wanted to change the channel.
I agree. It was all about "her". I didn't feel any "love for this country" from her performance.
I think the NFL should adopt a policy of having the bands from the various branches of the military play the Anthem. Let it be on a rotating basis so that every branch gets to do it every four years. Trust me, those folks will NOT screw it up, and it won't be all about THEM.
...OR they could give that tramp from this year a "do over" next year. She could come out and play the Anthem on the kazoo.
Or better yet, a dog whistle. /s
Please don’t call me a racist, but when did it become obligatory at large spectator events for the national anthem to be sung exclusively by black women?
