Do it completely correct or not at all!
« on: May 31, 2021, 08:46:09 AM »
Just me-  I'm pretty sick of those that
make hash out of America's national
anthem. Either do it the one right way
or not at all, and step aside and let someone
do it correctly.
I'm personally sick of the kneeling and
the upraised "power " fists and the general
disrespect shown by those who are enjoying
the benefits that were gained by sacrifices
of so many.
Show respect and reverence for the anthem
and the flag, or stay at home and continue
getting high or drunk or whatever you do.

If you're singing the anthem, sing it properly
and don't warble or wail or stretch single syllable
words into multiple syllables.
" Hailed " is one syllable. Always. Irrefutably.
It damn sure ain't "hey-yay-oo-oo-ay-ulled"
"Proudly " is 2 syllables and is definitely NOT
"Pur-ah-ow-duh-lee"

My God what an effin mess we've become
in such a short time
18 MINUTES.  . . . . . .

I agree with you guys, but hey, at least they're still singing it...or at least trying.....which is more that what Mark Cuban wants...

  I will never understand..just why some major events will hire some pompous, self-centered, egotist celebrity to sing our national anthem.

  Often as not, they screw it up and even forget the words at times.  Why not give one of these truly talented youngsters, the same fee for performing..which can be applied toward their futures.

  I haven't heard one of these talented kids screw up our national anthem yet !  Here's a 9 year old singer.. (less than 2 min video)
