National Anthem Gone Wrong

Our national anthem, its not a pop single, its not an American Idol/X Factor or any other shows audition. Its our National Anthem.

Why is it that 90% of the people who are famous or have a music career feel the need to make the anthem their own. Add a little flair and what not.

ITS NOT YOUR SONG! 

You're not supposed to add a little of your ow flair to it. Your not supposed t stretch out the notes and do a bobble of notes, or slide up and down the notes or add your little bit of character to it which honestly just sounds like whining.

There are exceptions  there is a way to add your own flair without taking away the whole song, there's a way to add a sprinkle of your flair to the anthem without it sounding like your auditioning, or recording your new single.

When someone sings the National Anthem(especially when its televised), it should be sung with passion and feeling but not take so far off the path that everyone is thinking "Oh my god, he/she murdered/butchered it". Our veterans shouldn't cringe hearing the anthem. 

My dad is a veteran, my family is a military family. We have a certain expectation of how our National Anthem should be done.

I'm sorry and the presidential inauguration  the only reason Beyonce sang was because she is black. Our president is black. Do you see the pattern?

If you sing the National Anthem correctly it causes chills, goosebumps, and a sudden rush of pride in your country. When its done right i can feel my heart in my chest, i get chills down my spine i get covered in goosebumps and i want to drape myself in an american flag running through the streets screaming at the top of my lungs that I'm proud to be an American.

In my opinion some of the best National Anthems ever done include:

May not be out anthem but its a national anthem done RIGHT!!!
