On the internet you can be anything you want.
It is strange that so many people choose to be stupid.

It would be nice to one day hear our anthem sung in a straightforward way once again--each note as originally written---minus the pop-singer improvisation that seems de rigeur these days.
Wayne Messmer,the PA announcer for the Chicago Cubs does as fine a rendition as likely to be heard.
Here in Canada a lot of people boo the US
National Anthem before hockey games.
Some "fans" started it in Montreal around the time of
the Gulf War.(I think)
But sadly you can still hear the boos in some Minor
league hockey games.
That's too bad. Oh well, Wayne Gretzky likes us.
haaaaaaaaaaaaaa
sorry noelle, just had to laugh at "general boo"
l'm gonna try to work that into a conversation today
p.s. l would never boo at any anthem. l may stay seated, but not boo.

Yes that is true but Wayne + Mario Lemieux, Sidney Crosby
etc, understand they have to go to the US to make the
big money.You have to let them leave sometime.
A-fuckin-MEN. I hate all those silly and unnecessary flourishes and warblings! Our National Anthem brings me to tears every time I hear it sung, although not always because of national pride. Sometimes it's just painful to listen to when some jackass thinks it requires a new "spin" to sound fresh.

It is only played here for international events such as the Rugby or Soccer, though I am not sure if I remember it at the Cricket, it is played during a Test I think, but it would only be on day 1 (they go for 5 days). I dont think I have heard it at the 1 day internationals (only during the World Cups) but not the Twenty/20s.
At national games such as in Aussie Rules, rugby league we dont play the anthem, the teams run out to their club songs. The Anthem is played at the Grand Finals only.
PV, only for international events and never at the cricket.

I get asked to sing the National Anthem several times a year, for patriotic events and have NEVER sung it any other way than what it should be. I just couldn't do it. Besides, my parents, uncles, and husband are veterans, and they would all kick my ass if I did it any other way.

haaaaa
I know that at the tennis a few yrs ago James Morrison played the wrong anthem for the Spanish - that was a show mozelle (aka schmozzle! sp?) Also once I remember that at the Winter Olympics they put on the AUSTRIAN anthem instead of the AUSTRALIAN one.. how hilarious!
My sentiments exactly.
A tidbit on the national anthems of other countries: Whenever there are tons of ships from different countries, the base plays ALL their national anthems in the mornings. My husband tells me the same courtesy is not extended when they go to foreign ports
I love this version by Marvin Gaye...
http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=QRvVzaQ6i8A
I did like Jimi Hendrix's version. There was some actual artistry to it.
Does anybody know who will be singing the National Anthem
before todays SuperBowl?
Have you ever heard the version Christina Aguliera barked out? Makes you want to puke.
Welp.....more of the same.
OK, Jordin Sparks lip-synched (lip sank?) the National Anthem at the Super Bowl.
It's normally sung live, isn't it??
I seem to remember, and I could very well be wrong, that back when
Whitney Houston sang the National Anthem for Super Bowl XXV
in 1/??91 the same issue came up.
It was explained that inside the stadium she was heard LIVE while a
recording was broadcasted to the rest of us.
She was ??singing along with herself? so it looked like lip-syncing.
What the crowed heard inside the stadium was different then what
the rest of us heard.
I'm laughing at you're avitar
Cool
Marvin F*****g Gaye people... it is a masterpiece

Poor thing, I would never leave my house again if that were me. Make sure you watch the video to the end. http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fusea...ideoid=9068652
LMAO!
Ahahahahaha, poor thing. I wouldn't have ran out though. I already made an ass of myself. I would have gone back out there and joked about it!
