Apparently Fergie (of The Black Eyed Peas) did a terribad rendition of the national anthem at the NBA All-Star game.

they should find someone with ability to sing it, someone whose singing style fits the Anthem sung straight. The Anthem is not rap, rock, swing, or Jazz song.

I entirely agree. Sing it straight or find someone else who can.

I entirely disagree. We should just stop singing the national anthem at sporting events.

Eh. Maybe. But when it’s sung, it should be sung straight, regardless of venue.

To follow up, Warbler might be saying that from a patriotic perspective—with respect being shown toward the anthem/flag in mind. For me, I agree with him but from a musical perspective. It is not a pop song or blues or death metal or whatever. It was written to be sung straight, and to do otherwise ruins the tone musically.

So no gay barbershop quartet then?

“Straight” meaning without excessive flourish.

Gay barbershop quartet rendition would probably be amazing so long as it wasn’t overdone.

I knew you were being facetious, but I answered as though you were not.

And I feel like looking for a barbershop quartet version of it on Youtube now.

I have never been a member of any barbershop quartet.

That leaves plenty of options for other ensembles, however: a bisexual ukulele octet, for instance.

Good point. Warb, are you in a bisexual ukulele octet?

People are upset over that??? I’m old enough to remember a really bad rendition…

I won’t link to any actual video, because it would violate the Geneva Convention. 😛

I still don’t understand why she was allowed to do the anthem. She’s not even a singer!
