"And that was borderline treasonous, let's start the game"

Here, the same fans that flip out about players taking a knee, also insist on replacing the last sung word, brave with the name of the team.

Fucking hate excessive melisma when people sing. Respect the song, national anthem or happy birthday just respect the fucking song.

Amen! It is an anthem not a ballad. It should be sung with gusto and heart.
sorryicameinyourhairhoney
OH MY GOD, YES! I thought I was the only one. Sing the Goddamn song the way it was written.
Awesoman66theCactusLord
Well, it may be a good idea to drop it down to better fit one's range

Amen! It is an anthem not a ballad. It should be sung with gusto and heart.

And by the group, not as a performance.

I'm not from the US but they still occasionally do this where I'm from. You're not there to show off, you're there to take part in a 1/2

Reverent ceremony. Stop being pretentious, everyone knows you can sing. That's how you got the fucking job in the first place 2:2

A brazilian wax job is a traumatizing event that leads to high pitched screaming , in case if u are wondering. Brazilian lady here.

LOL thank you! :)

This reminds me of Jamie Foxx's rendition during the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. That shit was horrendous.
OobedoobScoobyDoobyBenubi
The real question is why is the song sung before a sporting event at all? The two things have nothing to do with each other.
FaeryVixen
I applaud you good sir... +1
fairybug
I think we can all agree on this.
welldoneamigo
Why sing it at sporting events anyway?
Awesoman66theCactusLord

Fuckin cant stand the long "whoaooaoooOooooOoooooOoooOoOooOooOoooooooooo" that "artists put into songs. Shut the fuck up and get on with it.
KeezieWeezie
As a vocalist I could not agree more

Well it depends on who does it. If you are fucking amazing then do it. Sauce for amazing woah https://youtu.be/Qy1J_i32wTg

Philly game this past week had a veteran sing. It was awesome.

I think Whitney Houston's rendition will always be my favorite.
OhSpartacus
My sentiments exactly
TypicalWhiteGuy1
Yay, North Carolina! I'm from there
Pangs
I watch an awful lot of sporting events and, most of the time, the song is perfectly average.
javer80
My favorite celebrity rendition... https://youtu.be/d9l4LMZeNm0
Calistrasza
That was a pleasure to listen to, thank you.

Renee Fleming superbowl, she sang the damn song without the crappy pop extras.
Snooj
Have we all forgotten Roseanne Barr's version?
dave262
We have not
Phyrie
I tried to...
LynchlessMob
I actually like hearing all the different renditions of the song.
Awesoman66theCactusLord
Some times are better than others for such things though
MadameDex
Thank you! When I was taught to sing it, I was reminded it was taken from a drinking tune and shouldn't be drawn out.
KeezieWeezie
There is no way any drunk human would be able to accurately sing all of the intervals in the star spangled banner
Apath3ticLizard
FacemanPeck
Very true. I've always been annoyed by singers that make it more about what they can do with their voice than the song.
OobedoobScoobyDoobyBenubi
Whitney Houston
shmekie
Exception: she was so talented that it elevated the song. But it did set a dangerous precedent.
marktheshark911
It's called art, brah
SyncXc
It's called being an arrogant twat who cares little about actually singing the damn song.

Not a sermon, just a thought.

People from the DC area will get that.
somethingsomethingusernamey
Please explain
Awesoman66theCactusLord
Yeah, that irks me a little as well. Changing the notes to better fit your range is one thing, but adding 372 notes is barf
Geracht
I remember one of the sites I had to guard, they had a regular who'd belt out her ridiculous version forty times a visit. Ugh.
PascalCasedUserName
Would it be okay if they only added 371 notes?
TheNotRacistBassist
Adding many notes to a single syllable is called a melisma, really old Gregorian chants used to do it and they also sound hilarious
namiasdf
It's not this, they're literally untrained singers with no concept of the art of vocal music.

As a non-American, who did this?
dickbuttwastaken
As an american, this is not a big deal at all. Complaining for complainings sake.
FuriousMonkey
Yeah, i don't really understand the beef here.
bleustorms
A lot of singers do this to the anthem. They really like to stretch it out.
HitlersArtCritic
Most singers, especially performers for things like the Superbowl. They basically use it to sell rather than for the song or the respect.
Pryotra
Most singers do this. The real reason they do this is because they have trouble giving up the spotlight, and try to prolong it for attention

Yep. Cringy
Bobsbullshit
The original notes ain't easy. So people change them and add extra to make it easier. Which people? Basically all the people.
44no44
I don't think it's about lowering the difficulty. The actual song only requires holding one note for a few seconds. 99% of singers turn >
44no44
> the thing into an operatic maze of back-and-forth scales for up to a minute, as if purely to feel superior to eachother.
