    Pop and country music star Jewel performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" to the packed house at the legendary racetrack but her twist on the national anthem had fans scratching their heads.

    I don't think it has reached the level of boycott, yet.

      I started to watch, and thought, "Hey, this isn't horrible. Not my taste, but not horrible."

      And then, at 0:55 my opinion changed.

      In the comments, "Not Roseanne bad, but up there." Yup.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Not exactly Roseanne Barr, but not exactly Jimi Hendrix either.

        I was only joking

          She missed one note. Big deal.

            I didn’t know Jewel was still around. She was an up and coming folkie back in the mid to late 90s then fell off the radar. Happens a lot with folkies. I thought her stuff back in the day was pretty damn good.

              Funny thing is I was not in the room, but I recognized her voice right off.
