When Fergie personalized the national anthem, booo, I wondered how she would react if someone took her songs and personalized them in the same manner.

 

 

 

 

That wasn't personalizing. That was monster trucking, backing up and doing it again, then spreading gasoline on the carnage and lighting a match.

They ought to get him to do the Super Bowl next year, he does a heck of a lot better job than most. 1000 times better than Whitney Houston’s rendition and she was lip syncing :huh:

As a person who used to do my fair share of singing, if you watch close after the high notes at "bursting in air," I think he got just a bit light headed. Seen it happen before with baritones pushing their range. Probably have had that look myself. He handled the ending just fine though.

Fergie's edition was a sh*t show, which she should hang her head over til she's in her 80s.

It was easily observed that he doesn't have the breath training of a pro singer, as his pauses for breath were all long. It was still a real good job.

Howdy,

I think they should stop rebroadcasting TSSB.

Some folks get it right, some try to add their own touch.

Some just get it wrong.

But then just let it go.

What is the advantage to ridicule of all these folks?

Maybe before anyone gets to poke fun, they have to sing it Better

Than the guy they are poking fun at.

THAT would cool some clowns.

Best

I typically don't poke fun, but in the case of Fergie, I'd take that challenge.

He did an okay job, he maybe should have started just a bit lower! Still it was 100% better than Fergie!

IMHO actors are good, (sometimes) in doing what they have trained for, which is acting. 

Our National Anthem should only be sung with the highest of praise.

There are more qualified singers (which is what they are trained for), and should be sung only by those who can truly do it justice. 

Case in point,  the following rendition by Jackie Evancho, at 16 years old.

I suppose we all have our favorites, I know I do. Unfortunately, now that photo bucket isn't an option, I'm not sure how to let everyone hear it without downloading it.

Best lines I heard on Fergie’s performance:

 

“ I think I need a cigarette after that.”  Charles Barkley

 

”That would make Colin Kaepernick want to stand up”.  Anonymous
