Leave it up to a darkie to ruin the singing of our National Anthem

It should be performed exactly as written. I've heard some wonderful renditions that are ruined with the addition of some warbling high notes late in the peace.

The music to our anthem was originally a British drinking song written for a men's social club. Can you imagine what a bunch of drunks could do with it?

No matter what the preformer's race is the National Anthem should be respected enough to be performed as written not with artistic interpretation.

That started in MLB back in the late 70's or early 80's. I found the bastardization of the national anthem disgusting back then.

Could be worse: Obummer could arbitrarily declare "The Internationale" to be our new national anthem. Congressional Republicans wouldn't say one word if he did it.

Not very appropriate when the worst ever was Roseanne Barr.

I WILL say that Rucker did not go wild with the ever present black melismas. (Apparently, more notes makes it better) Rucker is just a bad singer. Very poor choice.

Never knew that fugly dyke was a singer, just thought she was an obnoxious biotch who liked to scratch her cooch in public. Perhaps the natives (crabs) were restless.

She's not a singer. Who the hell picks these people? Honestly, for a real singer, the National Anthem is not that difficult. Personally, I am sick of every dang song being blackified. White people like music too.

Consider yourselves fortunate to still hear it.

Plans under foot to unseat the Star Spangled Banner because of its war imagery.

Too violent.

The most disgraceful rendition of all time has to have been Rosanne Barr with her crotch grabbing screeching. You can watch this if you like but I don't recommend it for anyone who's an American.

I have to say, slightly off topic, that I am a bit taken back by the apparent racism that exist on this forum. Does it really matter what color the person singing is? Are white folk not just as guilty of fuggin' up the Anthem? I seem to recall a string of them that bobbled the words, forgot words, sung off key...

It's one of the hardest pieces of music in the world to get correct because it wasn't written correctly to begin with. It was a poem set to music, not lyrics written to notes. I am not giving them a pass on the personal liberties taken with it, but I will say the darkie comment is just plain sh*t.

Couple of things . First, it is not a hard song to sing, for a trained singer. Heck, Rossini or Shoenberg are hard to sing....I studied voice for 35 years, and sang professionally from 18 to 42. Second, the song has been bastardized by a lot of people, it's true. The current all consuming desire to change the style of all music to a black style is tiresome for people who do not like that style. The National Anthem as an official piece, was done as written until black singers felt the need to "improve" it. In my opinion, they did no such thing. They just made it a cartoon. The last couple of years, we have been getting hammered pretty heavily with Afro Centrism. Tired of that, too. Plenty of songs are poems set to music. It is often the lyrics that inspire the choice of music, whether lifted from another song, or original. Cant say it makes for a song that is any more difficult to perform.
