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!!!

Cover?

I have begun to miss singing all the time. I miss choir, and randomly recording my singing.
Singing is what i was good at, it was a huge passion of mine, and over the years it gradually slipped out of my life. Neither one of my parents take credit for me being musically inclined, and they both have no idea where i got it from.

with that said I think I'm going to do a cover, but I'm not sure which song yet. I dont want to embarrass myself. :/

I guess this is informational, and also a question. What song should i do?

I am both an alto and soprano. Not Christina  or Mariah kinda soprano. i mean honestly how many people are?? :D
I'm super excited about doing this, and about getting back into singing and being the goofy random chick  i was when Alaina and i were together all the time. I hate that we never saved the videos of us singing :/

So if you have any song suggestions let me know.
