I used to get chills and a tear in my eye when the Anthem was sung, but
anymore I cringe and hit the mute button when some so called singers do
their own ridiculous rendition of our Anthem. I wish there was something in
the code that stated that the Anthem is to be played or sung "as written".
Guess I am just an old fashioned American. I'm sorry I tuned in late last
week and missed what I hear was an excellent rendition.

every race to critique the singer, & usually put 'em down.
AFAIC, even if it is boring, performers of The USA National Anthem
should perform it with very little personal embellishments.
It's not about the performer, it's about a standard statement
about love & defense of the United States of America!
