Super bowl Sunday From a Marine Corps Colonel in Afghanistan: "So with all the kindness I can muster, I give this one piece of advice to the next pop star who is asked to sing the national anthem at a sporting event: save the vocal gymnastics and the physical gyrations for your concerts. Just sing this song the way you were taught to sing it in kindergarten - straight up, no styling, no screeching. "Sing it with the constant awareness that there are soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines watching you from bases and outposts all over the world. Don't make them cringe with your very self-centered ego gratification. Sing it as if you are standing before a row of WWII vets wearing their Purple Hearts, Silver Stars and flag pins on their cardigans and you want them to be proud of you for honoring them and the country they love - not because you want them to think you are a super-super star musician. They could see that from your costume, makeup and your large entourage. Sing 'The Star Spangled Banner' with the courtesy and humility that tells the audience that it is about America, not you. We're getting a little weary of your own rendition. Francis Scott Key does not need any help." |

Whitney was fantastic! I remember it being played on the radio for a few weeks after the Super Bowl. |

Agree. But no need to worry about a pop star ruining the National Anthem. Renee Fleming will do the honors. Who?? http://www.ibtimes.com/who-renee-fleming-super-bowl-national-anthem-singer-takes-center-stage-metlife-stadium-1551915 |
