National Anthem
I just watched the opening of the World Series and the Back Street Boys destroy the National Anthem with some acapella rendition taking twice a long as normal with their absurd stylizing. Does it annoy anyone else when these so called artists have to take the Anthem and turn it into a rock, R&B, Hip Hop or some other musical disaster.
Leave it alone, if you can't sing it as intended, just go away.

Re: National Anthem
Yeah, they are always at that, with the whooping and the hollering and all of that nonsense.
I remember the Simpsons did a piece where they are watching the superbowl or the world series or one of those things, and the fella comes on to sing the star spangled banner and goes on for about 30 minutes whooping and jiving off it, they all fall asleep, very funny. My advice, next time, get an opera singer to sing it properly, not the back street boys.
