Brother, you missed absolutely NOTHING. In fact anyone who'd butcher the National Anthem like she did, could get shot for treason or at least domestic terrorism. Just my opinion of course.Quote:

I didn't even watch the game. Ernest Goes to Camp > Superbowl
Yes they did! I didn't even like the commercials this year.
It's so stupid! I think it's more because their voices suck live without editing. I'm glad I didn't watch the whole thing.Quote:

This technology can also be used to brighten or darken their natural voice so what we (the general populace) hear as "such and such artist" is not what we hear in a "live" show and thus they automatically suck.
2. The general populace has their ears trained to the "studio" and pre-recorded sounds of pop music that a natural and neutral acoustic show is now boring.... hence the need to show skin or have other amazing effects (lights, fire, etc).
To prove the point: I've asked several people at work what they thought about the SSB. Main answer: "It was boring, there was like totally nothing going on with it!" (No mention of the left out stanza, mixed lyrics, melismatic overkill, etc.)
Melisma is a musical device. Basically means taking one word and drawing it out using repeated patterns. For instance, in Agulerias (or however you spell it) rendition of the SSB, the word "Brave" had about 17 different vocalizations. This is called a melissma.
Yeah...little Miss Diva flubbed the lyrics to the National Anthem whist trying to "make it her own".... [Rant1]Quote:

IMO nothing tops super bowl 25 and whitney houston. to me that is the quintessential anthem. I can't hear it without getting emotional.
bear's cactus cuties video is up there too. the best renditions always hit that high F on "land of the free"

I like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISMyBvFOxJc
P.S. If your not familiar with his story, you should read up on it. Bottom line: Cuban immigrant, LOVES America.
Jake Schroeder, the Guy who sings it for the Avalanche, should be in the top 5. Hell, He even does a good job with "Oh Canada". [Abused]
WOW that was awesome. [Beer]Quote:

I know a ton of out of work sound guys and this HACK got the gig ... shameful if you ask me . I've worked a TON of concerts, and I've heard plenty a band sound just like the album while live.( not just full bands but "track" artists like the BEP, and Christina) bit of reverb here.. a bit of delay there..a crap load of EQ on the vocals.....
If my sound guy let the artist sound like that.. I would first off smack him in the back of the head .. then dragged him out back and shot him after it .
As for Christina...................
I missed it live .. but it was not as bad as everyone said .. she screwed up one line... ( not excuse able for a " mega star" that has zero excuse for being nervous ) not half the song like others have said . as for her .. rendition ... it sucked. but coulda been MUCH worse.
I used to work for 3 different hockey teams( AV's, CC Hockey, and the Former Colorado Goldkings) and the Nuggets as well as a TON of other events where the Anthem was sang.
Seen it screwed up .. seen it done so well I teared up ....
RE: BigBear:
A lot of singer forget that IT IS THE SONG, not the singer - that is the important aspect of the tradition.

Not the Star Spangled but just as meaningful:

Only watched about 5 minutes of the 1/2 time and was wondering who those idiots with the bad vocals were. They do SUCK. Why would anyone buy their albums?
