It's you. You aren't part of the pants on the ground crowd.

All of these should be prerecorded to specs.

The only people who liked that are the ones who like Michele Obamas portrait

It would have been great if she sang it properly. Definitely the one song that should always be performed the exact way it was written. Fergie is a terrific talent, but that was horrible.

The Star Spangled Banner was written as a poem not a song. The music it is currently accompanied by was written by a Brit for some gentlemen's club in London. It was named our anthem in 1914 or something like that.

Regardless of whether you want to term it as a poem or a song it isn't "disrespectful" to change the timing or metre of it during a performance. She's a performing artist, a singer, whatever you want too call it, she exercised a little poetic license. So what. You don't have to like it, nobody's telling you that you have to sing it like that from now on, sheezus. I didn't like the version but I'll be okay.

The funny thing is I was at a going away party for some friends when it came on and nobody stood with they're hand over their heart facing the nearest flag when it was played either. Something many bitched about and invoked their civic disgust when Colin Kaepernick and others took a knee. Seems like national patriotism has varying degrees of duty and importance to some, but maybe that's just my observation.



Hope this helps,

And I appreciate the paintings of the Obama's as well. It may not have been the particular style presidential portraits have been historically presented but it doesn't denigrate or diminish the subject just because it isn't what you wanted or like.

I don't believe this song should be altered to sound like "Happy Birthday Mr. President" when it's supposed to be a reverent moment. Isn't that why we stop everything and stand at attention? You wouldn't let somebody take poetic license and sing the anthem in Chinese. OH Wo Wo Wo Saya ya ya can you Woo Woo SEE ye ye.

I would let anyone do whatever the hell they wanted if they were performing the song. Why would I care if they did it in another language?

I've never seen the rules posted anywhere about it. And people only stand with their hands over their hearts when other people are watching or doing it, otherwise they sit on the flats of their ass just like everyone else.

All that reverence and "honoring the veterans" and "show respect to our men and women in the service" blah blah blah, that's your deal or whomever not me. I respect it as the anthem and but all that stuff was just fluff that others made up so they could we express their disgust with Colin Kaepernick.

You want to respect the men and women of the military? Get them home from needless wars. Get them better health and VA services, dental and mental health care.

But it's whatever man. If you felt she didn't show proper reverence than she didn't, who cares? Leslie Nielson didn't show proper reverence in The Naked Gun then but that wasn't a problem.

I think people just need to have someone to blame for things other tab themselves.
