THANK YOU!! I hate it when the Star Spangled Banner gets 'urbanized'. I can't stand urban yodeling or any other 'stylization'.Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00995981511802074871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7191599071198288307.post-61186376468028987422010-07-04T06:47:42.560-05:002010-07-04T06:47:42.560-05:00Yeah Jim, maybe I've officially earned old fog...Yeah Jim, maybe I've officially earned old fogey status, but it bugs the crud out of me to hear the National Anthem "stylized."<br /><br />I don't care if it's a pop singer, or rap, or country singer. I can't even remember who it was now, but a couple of years ago some young black lady singer was about to sing the Anthem before a big event on TV.<br /><br />I thought, "here we go." I wish I could remember who it was now, because it was one of the most beautiful things I'd ever heard. She didn't goof around with it. She didn't drag out the ending & try to show off her blues skills. She just sang the thing with respect. <br /><br />That's the way it ought to be done.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.com
