I have to say that she did sing in tune BUT I am NO fan of anyone who sings it in any manner other than a straight forward traditional manner.
I have to agree with everyone Christina Aguiliera has no class, can't sing, don't work well with others, and thats why she missed the awards nomination for her last movie, botched the National Anthem, and getting divorced. Sorry but I don't care for people that think they are to hot to handle and a better then everyone attitude She spoiled it for me
She tried waaaaaay too hard to put some black soul into it. But at least she dropped 50 lbs from the last time I saw her on stage at an awards show. Her legs were like redwood trees.
It is hard to beat our National Anthem that ends with fighters flying over, but please, please please don't mess with perfection, just sing it the way it was written!! - Hate when anyone messes with it, but she was one of the worst ever, well besides Roseanne.
i dont care how rich or famous you are no national anthem from any country should be turned into rap hip hop blues etc. there should be a law that it must be sung normal and proper. i been fu$#@!3g embarassed several times by the canadian anthem being sung off key with yaa yaa yaa in it or words being stretched out for 20 seconds.no pride anymore
