AMERICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM IDOL

Have you noticed lately that no one seems to be able to just sing the
National Anthem? Before sporting events, live shows, etc, it seems that
everyone has to have an Anthem singer. Unfortunately, none of the people
seem to be able to just sing it with the dignity which one would think it requires.
Instead, everybody seems to yodel and howl (with vibrato!) as if they were
singing for Simon Cowell & Co. What's up with that...if you want to be on AI, the
for God's sake be on the show; just don't rehearse by singing the National Anthem
in front of thousands of people!

You know, the last time I heard the Anthem sung respectfully, it was sung before a hockey game...

...by a Canadian!!
