The whole song sounded like 2:00-2:10. And I will be honest, I would rather hear that than have the language split. That was not meant to be a racial comment at all.
She has a beautiful voice and is able to pull off what she did.
In the same instance, I would agree with you upon a song with the significance of this one should be sang "normally".

My opinion.....the National Anthem is NOT a time to "show off" what you can do with your voice. It's supposed to be sung with reverance.
It isn't an "audition".
Thats just my own feelings.
Oh......and it should be sung in english. English IS our "national language", isn't it? (Not so sure anymore)
But my opinion isn't "politically correct" i guess.
I didn't get to hear the one last night, and the link Ironman put up has been removed by the NFL (figures, hey?) so i'm not judging Hudson.
Just making an overall opinion.
I have heard too many people "jazz" it up to where it's hard to recognize it.

Mad TV did a spoof on it, and they were spot on as far as those that try to make it a pop song.

Want my opinion.. I would rather focus on the players and folks that couldn't take their time to honor the flag.. no instead a few players could be seen loafing on the bench or huddled up joking about.

Hudson, whether you agree with the tone, pace and style in which she delivered the Anthem, but you could tell that she was honestly trying in her way to honor the flag and those that serve it.

That is how I see it, but like so many other simple and honored ways to carry oneself, the fabric of some has become worn and immune.

I'm not even American, so I don't know if I have any right of speech here, but I didn't like it that much.

Don't get me wrong, she can sing. She has a great voice, but I just don't like it when they just change a national anthem for no reason. Just sing The Star Spangled Banner the way it's supposed to, not make your own versions.

I think the National Anthem gets butchered every year. So it's nothing new to me.

Agreed it should be sung in English.

But no, English is not our national language. I've been writing my Reps for years to make it officially our national language but with no success.

If English ever becomes our national language, it would save a fortune and also give a lot of secondary benefits.

You.

You are correct, sir.

One reason I love college football a bit more than NFL.. Every Gopher game I've been at (my uncle and I split season tix) every college kid (the home AND away team) has his helmet at his side and is honoring the flag. Which in turn honors the nation.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

As I posted on another thread several days ago, go on google and find "The Cactus Cuties" and listen to their version of the National Anthem. Five part harmony and sung the way it should be sung.

Anyone for a Weenie Roast?

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Packers placed Marshawn Lloyd on reserve non-football illness list

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed
