Re: Gladys Knight… The latest celebrity under attack

Now, why would anyone object to GK singing the national anthem at a game! Sounds like someone is trying to stir up controversy.

Don't like what?  The national anthem?


@chrystaltree, I won't go into it here but I would assume it has a political reason.

Good, okay then.  Not familiar with her singing style, obviously.

No matter who is chosen to sing the National Anthem, SOMEONE won't like it.

Re: Gladys Knight… The latest celebrity under attack

The only thing I read about the Superbowl and some being unhappy with the artists is - a non-Atlanta performer was chosen for the half-time show (Maroon 5).  Who attacked Gladys Knight?

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.....

Has to do with the football players taking a knee & not having RESPECT.

Re: Gladys Knight… The latest celebrity under attack

Gladys Knight has a beautiful voice, and I'm sure she will do everyone proud.

 

You know, this "taking sides" has reached a point of absurdity.  And this applies to both sides. 

 

To make a point, am I now never going to eat Burger King or McDonald's again because of what happened with the Clemson team the other night?  

 

People are drilling down too far in trying to take a stand.
