“That was terrible. Overall, flat . . . missed a few notes by about half of a key, and the tempo indicates little formal training.”....(comment sounds a bit snobbish to me”)

There is only ONE version of our national anthem and it needs to be sung properly, PERIOD!

By the way, is this tread about football players or the national anthem?

Half a key? That comment "indicates little formal training." Half-step or half-tone, of course. Half a key? Nonsense.
