Why do they do that?

I just suffered through one of the worst renditions of our national anthem that I have ever had the displeasure of listening to.
"Sang", to use the term very loosely, by Mary J. Blige, our anthem was butchered and left in pieces in the name of what I expect some people to call artistic freedom. It sounded like she had no idea of the story behind the lyrics.
She has a beautiful voice and could have performed a rendition that would be remembered as a classic, but instead she failed miserably.

kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the
object we are trying to hit.

It almost seems like every chik that sings the national anthem tries to pull off Whitney Houston at the superbowl but they always fall flat on final product.

If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck!

No matter how bad somebody sounds, NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY can beat Roseanne Barr's rendition at a MLB game, complete with a crotch scratch and spit.

Worst of ALL TIME!

You have to admit. The Whitney gave you chills. Damn that was an awesome rendition.

Damn man, why the hell did you have to remind me of that. I will take years (again) to get her ugly screaming ugly mutt singing that out of my mind again

The best rendition of our national anthem, hands-down, was sung by Trace Adkins befor a recent NASCAR race. Sent chills through me.

I prefer it when it's sung by the people in the audience without a minor celebrity to lead them.

Oh yeah it was awesome. But people try to do Whitney and just never pull it off

That way, it's difficult to hear when they forget or mess-up the words.

If it's not played on a Stratocaster, it just isn't played.
