Well I kind of liked it. It is nice to do something different as long as it is not disrespectful. My Hubby did not like it though.

Actually, I far prefer Gaga's rendition from the Super Bowl a few years ago - it was almost traditional, which I find to be more emotional. She sounded great at the inauguration, but I didn't like all of her changes.

IMO, our National Anthem should be performed in the traditional manner.  It's not something that needs "creative" changes.  There isn't another Country in the world where this would be allowed.

 

I didn't care for this version of the National Anthem nor the Jimi Hendrix version of America The Beautiful.


I don't know about that, @grandma r, but if so, then I'm happy I live in a country that wouldn't censor something like this.

I missed the singing of the National Anthem, but I 💗 it when our military sings it!

I didnt watch at game on TV. but I listened to it on youtube.  No likey.  I guess I am more of a traditionalist when it comes to some songs.  Especially the anthem.   To each their own however.. I am a Tom Waits andBob Dylan  fan, so I like edgy     BUT THIS....NO LIKEY.  JMHO

I didn't care for it, I prefer the traditional way of singing it.

 

Although it may be a 'difficult' song to sing, many great performers have successfully accomplished it with ease in the past.
