    Watching Falcons and Packers game. They announced: Ladies and Gentlemen please stand for the singing of our National Anthem!!! Some guy with a saxophone tooted it !!!! What the crap!!! Why can't we stick to tradition??? Next you know will have a Barbershop Quartet or a Rapper trying to sing it and that's just wrong. Everybody want to put their spin on it leave it alone!!!Sing it the way it was meant to be sung.:facepalm:

    I see nothing wrong with having an accomplished musician perform the Anthem (as opposed to a "singer"). Where it falls off the rails for me is exactly what you said: when these people try to make it there own by changing the basic song structure, tempo, melody, or adding their own "flair". To those people I say F.U. - play the song as it was written, with proper respect and dignity. Pisses me off to no end. This sax rendition did just that. The guy could play, but for me, it sucked horribly. (I'm a 35-year professional musician)

    I don't care if you play it on a Kazoo, but play it to the proper beat. Jimmy John's delivers faster than some of them.
