I agree- I actually really really disliked the rendition of the national anthem. here I was thinking "great opportunity for the kids to hear the national anthem sung well" and it was junk (imo). Itʻs not like we hear the Canadian national anthem a lot down here (heck, Iʻm honestly not sure if the kids have ever heard the US national anthem either... but we know all the verses of the Hawaiian "national" anthem- as itʻs thought of more like a "nation" and not so much a state), and I was looking forward to hearing a good rendition. Oh well, when Canada wins a gold weʻll hear it ! (Weʻre behind on the watching, so perhaps they have and we missed it)

The national anthem is sung here before every Nascar race and other sports.
My husband and I both feel strongly it should be sung as written. We have been known to often throw things at the tv after various celebrities and honored us with their "artistic renditions".
Its a beautiful song, and if your voice can't handle the notes, you shouldn't sing it. I love it when they choose a military man or woman to sing.......they invariably do it properly.
(soft things, of course!)
