The Star Spangled Banner is notoriously hard to sing. The lyrics are a bit of tongue twister and most of us cannot hit the high notes. Should we consider changing over to something easier, like "God Bless America" or "This Land Is Your Land"?
Your thoughts?

It was beautiful, American Horse. I like this version as well....
<SNIP>
Of course it is a moving song, American Horse, and of course it has the weight of tradition behind it.
No - The Star Spangled Banner should remain the national anthem. If you can't hit the high notes or get through some of the other parts - hum along - or sing in a lower key.
One thing is for sure - we should have someone who appreciates the song and deeply cares about it to be singing it. These various celebrities who sing some deranged performance of their rendition should be banned. They may put on one hell of a good tour performance in whatever genre they normally do, but the national anthem deserves a special respect for a great country and performed as such. The "show" should be left to the teams on the field.
Can anyone possibly forget how Roseanne Barr slaughtered the anthem?

She was paid to do so.
she was actually hired to intentionally poorly sing the anthem. I know she's a comedian, and it paid to poke fun at people and things, but certain things should give anyone pause.

It's not THAT hard..The trick is to start in a key you can maintain and be able to hit the notes without warbling or screeching.
Off topic and bombastic.

^^ This is truth....
Keep the National Anthem as is...
Only an unpatriotic baffoon would ask if we should change our National Anthem. IMO
Why? Is asking unpatriotic now?
