Video Of SB National Anthem
 
I was hoping that someone had a link or something that had the singing of the National Anthem at yesterdays SB. My wife just can't believe me on how bad it was and I wanted her to see for herself. Thanks for any help.

I didn't listen to it, but that fat piece of shit Peter King said it was the second-best ever to only Whitney Houston's, so I am inclined to believe that it was horrible.

It was undoubtedly the worst performance of the National Anthem I have ever heard. It was honestly embarassing. Both Neville and Aretha can sing but what they did to that song was just plain bad. To mention it positively in the same breath as Whitney Houston's SB rendition is about as blasphemous as one can get about such a subject.

Don't even look for it, you will cringe.

When we saw that National Anthem, we couldn't believe how good it was. To me, it was the most melodious and creative rendition I have ever seen. Usually it is sung without passion or depth, and in the same general, mediocre way. Aretha Franklin and John Neville with Dr John I think are to be commended for daring to try something new, and to pull it off in a superb way.

When i first saw this thread i thought you were gonna say how good you thought it was...i was about to kill somebody. This was one of the worst national anthems i've ever heard. It didn't sound anything like it at all. If anybody thinks that was good, they are retarded. It was almost as bad as when [url="http://www.ebaumsworld.com/nationalanthem.html"]that girl forgot the words to the national anthem before some basketball game[/url]

There's a big difference between a little girl that's probably terrified to be in such a large arena with so many people starring at her and a professional singer. What Mo Cheeks (I think!) did was one of the best things Ive seen a pro-sports coach do. Made one of that girls worst days much much better.

it's too bad the choir in the background was unable to drown out the noise coming from AF and AN. :Flush:

I thought it was a totally original version done by New Orleans natives. I think it was botched by the sound crew. If ya think about it the beginning was mixed terribly. The song was meant to be a solemn piece with reverence to New Orleans. The sound the entire game was whack. Think about the trophy presentation at the end. Thought I was listening from the parking lot! I was cable in front of new tv! I have to defend Aaron Neville, Dr John and Aretha, it was sad tune and it was our national anthem. Was a great effort and the sound crew flubbed it. I could also notice the Rolling Stones having difficulties. People like to sensationalize and jump on non-normal bashing bandwagons, but let's all remember this is the USA and let's look deeper than a whiplash Monday morning talkshow topic. Besides, we got the Redskins here and they gonna win it all this year!!!

Absolutley. Mo Cheeks earned a hell of alot of respect, and it was nice to see sports fans (for once), not act like idiots as they all seemed to be helping the girl along as well.
