Star Mangled Banner
You want to piss me off, butcher our national anthem. I know I am not the patriot that some people are and I have spouted off about the state of affairs here in America. One thing that has always bothered me is how people perceive our national anthem. I hate going to professional sporting events because they always get semi-famous stars that seem to have their own agenda to sell more albums when they sing the Star Spangled Banner. It pisses me off to hear this song mangled and butchered. All the people who have died for someone to disrespect our anthem. This brings me to my point. Monday night the Dallas Cowboys played the Philadelphia Eagles. I didn't watch the game but I was flipping through channels and landed on just as "pop sensation" Kat De Luna butchered the national anthem. Give it a listen and notice how sarcastic the stadium announcer sounds and pay extra special attention to the crowd's reaction.
That is horrible. Words can't even begin to describe how I felt when I heard that. It almost makes me want to name myself succesor to Emperor Norton I so that I can condem Kat De Luna for crimes against humanity.
Kat De Luna should watch this the next time she wants to butcher the national anthem.

That is horrific. I'm glad she got booed. What an idiot.
I thought you meant that she screwed up the lyrics. She shouldn't sing acapella. She really shouldn't.

It burns me. I understand how singers are artists and that they want to put their own unique touch on their songs but leave the national anthem alone.

I don't know if you can even call that singing. It's more like guttural moanings of pain.
@godfatherofgreenbay - LOL......now, now, the girl wasn't given a key to sing in. I usually mess up a bit if I'm nervous as hell and have to sing acapella before I perform.

But it's not like she hasn't practiced before. She probably has been in front of just as many people if she truly is a "pop sensation". Oh well. I need to relax.
@godfatherofgreenbay - I understand. I make faces and cover my ears when people sing off key, too.
IDK.....would you like to hear a clip of me someday?
Whoa..... for a pop singer it sounds like shes had no formal voice training EVER! The standards are never high in this realm of music... I also hate her physical enthusiasm with a finger waving in the air. NIGHTMARE!

I think pop music has went downhill ever since Madonna churned out Vogue or when the number one song in America was Cotton Eyed Joe by the Rednex. Well, that was basically when I stopped listening to pop and turned to what people call classic rock and alternative music.
