Gladys Knight… The latest celebrity under attack

She’s agreed to sing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl. And some people don’t like it.

Don't like what?  The national anthem?

I really don't care who sings it, so long as they sing it correctly, not with their own chosen notes, and so long as they sing it with the respect it deserves.

I get so tired of pop singers shrieking the National Anthem to the point where it's scarcely recognizable.  If that's what she's going to do, I'd prefer she stay home.

@Kachina624 Gladys Knight has not been known for shrieking.

Who? And, why?

She will sing it well and be very respectful.  Atlanta is her hometown so she must be tickled to be asked.

She's from Atlanta, where the SuperBowl will be held this year.  Also, more good news, the National Anthem will be signed by deaf activist Aaron Loggins,

I don't understand why anyone would be upset at Gladys Knight singing the National Anthem. She has a beautiful voice, has been around for a very very long time.....
