Do the song straight, it is our anthem, do not stylize it. Did it get any better, I missed the beginning of the game.

Oh, beautiful... or  Oh, say...   I'd be willing to give JT a pass for that senior moment.

 

And all others after Whitney Houston's rendition could be considered epic fails by comparison.

Whitney Houston did a nice job except it was too slow. It is not a funeral dirge. I like that she did not stylize it, just slow.

Jax, where is the video?  Can't be seen.  Fidel took it?

I know you guys are talking about singers...but best baseball version of the anthem was performed by John Kiley, the late Fenway Park organist.  52 seconds.  Google it; it is on the web somewhere.

The best national anthem is performed by any active duty US services band......its should be a rousing and inspirational anthem, and like MST it should never be confused with a dirge....

I used to read a sports page (Dallas Morning News ?) where the columnist always started his piece with his National Anthem stopwatch results and some snide remark when the duration/"look at me" factor was out of line.
