    I prefer to sing it simply and at a decent tempo.

    This, I love our country and everything but some people drag out every note to a painfully slow pace.

    The little girl who sang for the home run derby should have done it again. She is brilliant

    how pissed would people be if I took the stance of "why do we play it before sporting events anyway?" and wished we didn't play it for non Country related events?

    I agree, I see nothing in the forced patriotism of the Star Spangled Banner at every ball game. It's meaningless rote. On July 4, maybe.

    Best rendition I ever heard was when San Francisco Opera had a performance in the park on July 4. I mean, they were opera singers and did an amazing job.

    It was damn good, and probably the best up to that point.

    She got up there and just sang the damn thing like you are supposed to . I like
