I remember the one when the woman falls over on one of those "embarrasing moments" lists on Sky

Where's Rosanne? That's the winner! I didn't include Roseanne because she was actually trying to sing badly. These others are sincerely bad. |

Bollocks to anyone voting for the little girl, that turned out to be a cool national anthem when Maurice Cheeks helped her out.

How about the average NASCAR singer?
Those are ear-piercingly bad most of the time.

From a black guy, this might seem almost sacrelige, but I go with none of the above. R. Freakin. Kelly.It gets my vote over any of the others because Kells made it about him, not the song. |

This makes me ask the question: If you COMPLETELY change the music but use the same words, is it still technically the national anthem? |

Carl Lewis... Good God!
You'd know what you can do, and what you can't with your voice...

The little girl started off great, when she forgot the words she lost her pitch, otherwise that was a decent performance which SHE COMPLETED. Kudos little one.
Lewis just didn't have the range or, which is what I think, he didn't warm up and probably had a couple stiff shots to calm the nerves. Alcohol can do that kind of thing to your voice. I'm sure if he knew he sounded like that he might not have done it.
Another theory of mine is he started the tune of too high (no pitch reference) and when he got to the high part he pushed his voice into the upper register casuing it to crack. It's similar to not tuning your guitar before you play.
The cop sucked all over.
Bolton did what we in the biz call the G.P. Grand Pause. He just no-sold it. He didn't forget any words and his pitch of course was consistent.
From experience I can vouche for the level of difficulty performing that song with dignity. This is the reason many Super Bowls tend to be pre-recorded. I also think in this day and age a teleprompter is not a bad idea, especially with the young singers.
And yes changing the music is changing the Anthem, even though we lifted the music from "To Anacreon in Heaven" by John Stafford Smith.
I vote Marvin Gaye - for as much as people loved his version it felt to me like The Sexual Healing Anthem. RIP
