Utah Bob #35998 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 The ones who do the National Anthem at sporting events and make the performance more about themselves by adding notes, warbling , high screeches and ad libs. “Not traditional” is what I hear most often. “Country stars wouldn’t do that” Well I have not been impressed at all with some of the renditions I’ve heard at the NFR!

Blackwater 53393 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I still think this is one of the very finest renditions of the National Anthem I’ve ever heard. The man believed what he was singing and showed that he meant it! AND HE WAS A ROCKER !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixgun Sheridan Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I trust most of you are old enough to remember when Rosanne Arnold intentionally butchered it, and even spat on the ground afterwards. I really wish all these leftist twits who say they hate this country would just leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a very poor choice for sure but Rosanne is really not a lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grabbing her crotch and spitting like a player getting into the batters box. Bad choice and timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
