He beautifully combines the "Star Spangled Banner" with "America the Beautiful".

Not a fan of the band, personally. I know "of them," but I'm not a follower of their music.

change the anthem up too much. Seems to me she did okay considering those two factors.

That's just my opinion though.

but it wasnt that bad. Sounds like she tried to change it up some and put her spin on it.

I heard people saying how bad it was. I expected a lot worse

It's a horrible song and as a piece of music, it's a complete disaster.

With all the musical talent in this country in the past century it's a travesty we haven't commissioned someone to replace this joke of a song with something easier for the average person to sing and identify with.

Proving once again that you can fool all the people some of the time, fool some of the people all of the time, and there are some people who just shouldn't sing in public.
