    You have to give those British credit--if she was an American she would have screwed up the words.

      What I noticed is that she just sung the bloody tune as it was written down. The National Anthem shouldn't be an excuse to try and be Whitney Houston.

      That was a good weekend incidentally. British Grand Prix won by a British driver for a record 9th time. Putting Johnny Foreigner firmly in his place.

      I was only joking

        Indeed. Because Houston is dead.

          Unlike Roseanne Barr, who just smells funny.

            That has been a pet peeve of mine for years. It's not vocal calisthenics. Just sing the damn song.

                You'll notice in the clip that the RAF were circling the circuit just in case she decided to show up.

                  Excellent point. It's about the song not the singer of the song. Hannah did pretty much ok though with her interpretation. Good for her.

                    When Lady Gaga did the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, I was amazed. Just her remarkable voice and a piano. She didn't get into the weird trilly stuff until the 2nd half of the song. Somehow, it's more powerful if you just sing the damn song.

                    She didn't embellish quite as much at Biden's inauguration.

                        Definitely a recognized voice. But I think he did a good job.
