Kat DeLuna + National Anthem = Disaster
WHY do people have to do this? WHY do people have to butcher the National Anthem? WHY must they think they are on American Idol or something and do things to it that were never meant to be done? Mariah Careyitis has infected entirely too many singers today, professional and otherwise. They think volume (and lots of it) plus horrendous vocal runs plus some twitching equals good singing. No, it makes you sound like a cat in heat with a fish bone caught in its throat. (No, I didn't mean to make a cat/kat pun.)
And what's with the "I'm all that" head bobs and hair flips and finger points? Was this supposed to signify feeling? She looked like she was having a seizure. They make medication for that, you know. You can't hide a lack of vocal talent with runs and hiccups and tics and sexay gyrations. And you don't look cool, you look like a moron.
This is why I will listen to the first few notes to see what is going on, and then mute the television whenever it is performed at a sporting event I am watching...very, very few singers or musicians can do it and do it right. It's a hard song to do and if you can't do it properly you just look stupid. You know, this isn't a showcase for your supposed vocal styling or dance moves. This is supposed to be a reverential moment to honor our country. IT'S THE NATIONAL ANTHEM! GET UP THERE, SING IT CORRECTLY, AND SHUT UP WITH THE CRAP!
It would have been an act of kindness and national pride if one of the defensive ends from either team had just shot up and taken her out at the knees.
