IMHO it was painful to listen to.  Definitely not the best rendition of The Star Spangled Banner.

I agree. Just sing it. It isn't a yodeling contest.

It was different.  But it wasn't disrespectful.

Everybody wants to put their own little spin on it and be different ... which is stupid.  It is OUR song.  If I cannot sing it along with you (quietly to myself) because you're too busy changing it up and adding runs and different rhythms and such, then you didn't do it right.   It's not "disrespectful", per se, but I hate it.

Yeah, that's right... Chris Stapleton, who I very much respect as an artist, was recently lauded for his performance and rendition of the Star Spangled Banner... I liked the bluesey delivery, but over all, mediocre... For the reason you declare...

Now, Whitney Houston in her day... I could never sing along with her... but WOW!,
