So some broad named Kat DeLuna, who is apparently a “pop sensation”, sang the National Anthem last night prior to the Cowboys Eagles game. She got booed at the end by the crowd because instead of just singing the song like a normal person she felt the need to change tone and pitch on every second word.
Look people, it’s an anthem. It is meant to be sung all together. I can’t sing for shit and neither can most people at a football game. If the person with the microphone doesn’t lead the audience in song in such a way that we can all sing along together it loses its meaning.
The anthem is about the solidarity of Americans. It’s not a tryout for American Idol. Stop trying to impress us with your individual talent and start trying to show the audience and everyone else that you are the sort of selfless patriot that can put aside your individualism in order to show your devotion to your country and camaraderie with your fellow citizens.
