was on youtube and came across this ...
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ldXjOAMBjV0
I remember was at the apartment with about 50 friends and the place was dead silent...still gives me chills.
Rock On!

Still the best ever.
She sang 2 songs that are in my permanent collection. That is one, "I Will Always Love You" is the other. She had a helluva set of pipes.
-
a great singer. I think that this might have been even better with just her solo........no music.
-
I never was a fan. I think she's a skank and a national embarassment. Hopefully she will never sing the anthem again.
-
...I take it she never returned your fanboi messages :)
-
clearly one of the best voices ever. I agree still gives me goose bumps.
-
I never really was into her, but that's about as good as the National Anthem gets.
-
It tended to sound like a Disney movie 1/2 way through...and I've always hated runs. The best way to hear the National Anthem is by a military choir accompanied by a band. As far as a solo rendition..she is among the best though.
-
Good rendition but it kind of loses it's impressiveness when you learn that it was all pre-recorded in a studio.
-
Ahhh that great lip syc artist. LMAO

I HATE the way people run on with notes in attempts to "make the song their own"
typically they go way overboard with em
Just sing the damn song the way it was written and let your voice speak for itself

Joan Jett has some talent in her tits then that primadonna has in her entire family (unless she is related to Joan Jett, cuz that would be teh paradoxical)
-
All in all, I'm more impressed by the Canadians.
Last year during the NHL playoffs in Edmonton the fans would sing their national anthem. No divas and no vocal "stylings", just an old guy that gets 'em started and then off they'd go.

Luckily they don't sing it the way it was written because it was not written as a song at all. It's a poem... and a long one at that.
O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen thro’ the mist of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream
’Tis the star-spangled banner. Oh! long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footstep’s pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war’s desolation,
Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n-rescued land
Praise the Pow’r that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto—“In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

I meant the music
Sing it the way the music was written.
LOL

That was good, but the 91 NHL all star game still is the greatest sports national anthem in US History. If you havn't watched this video yet, I urge you to do so...I would have loved to have been there

"NO FLAG BURNERS HERE! GOD BLESS THE USA"
LOVE IT!

She still does have a helluva set of pipes, but now they're crack pipes, and Bobby Brown is suing her for custody of em! :t

lol the music is an english tavern song that lushes used to sing. :D

The only non-standard rendition of the Star Spangled Banner I've ever heard that I liked was Jimi Hendrix's. When I hear people sing it, I like "straight" versions.
The best ever performance at a sporting event, IMO, was by a young gal named Jewel at the 1998 Super Bowl. She sang it straight up, poured her heart in it, and demonstrated a spectacular voice. Plus, she showed off some really really nice ta-tas :)
culero (that last always helps anything ;))

Absolutely positively without question in full agreement with you.
It wouldn't even be a fair debate.
I remember seeing that the first time.
This time is only the second I've seen it since.
But when I think of great national anthems
This is the one that immediately comes to mind

Thats one of the things I love about it:aok

Beleive it or not, it is that version that plays at MOST movie theaters before the start of the movie at most military bases.

Those F16's just finished it off..

That's among the all-time classics, all right. I've heard some others that were great too but unfortunately don't remember where or when. Mostly that some were by unknowns with no accompaniment. Talk about confidence!

That's gotta be the absolute all time WORST rendition I have ever heard, and I liked Hedrix otherwise. Everytime I hear it start on the radio I immediately turn it off.

That was great as well.
This is a good thread. Because of it I've listened to the National Anthem at least a dozen times in the past two days.

Ray Charles singing the Anthem before the superbowl is the GREATEST ever- followed by a B-2 flyover - made me want to kick a foreigners arse.
If anyone can find the video...its amazing.
-
My most patriotic moment ever occured when I watched the 911 memorial service shortly after the event.
Does anybody remember it? All of the living presidents attended (that could). I was watching it at work in a large room full of people.
When the Air Force Academy Choir struck up "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" - everybody started to cry.
I would love to buy a DVD of that church service. I've looked and looked and I can't find it anywhere.
