An even cooler idea than having Willie Nelson sing

Have participation from each of the 4 branches of the military singing the National Anthem.

Then at halftime, have each branch do a marching exhibition to their own song.....finishing with all 4 branches on the field together, saluting the Flag, while those that sang the National Anthem, got together to sing America the Beautiful.....

I am telling you, it would be the most awesome way to open up the new stadium.

yeah sure, and the crowd can dress up like Abraham Lincoln with paper beards that have cotton balls Elmer's glued on them and we can all recite the Emancipation Proclamation in unison!

and then, after that, we can all open our history books underneath our seats (because Jerry will have placed them there before the game) and we can all recite the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution in unison as well!

after that, we can have Apollo Creed come onto the middle of the field and re-do his rendition of "Living in America", James Brown and all

anything else I'm missing?

I still have this performance saved on my laptop. This is one of the best renditions of the National Anthem I have ever heard. The orchestra did a phenomenal job and those chord substitutions were very surprising and ear catching. And of course her vocals were spot on...I think she will do a great job at the opener.

Its virtually guaranteed that whe will butcher the antherm this way. I'll be pleasantly surprised if she sings it normal.
Okay, you obviously have no idea what you are talking about.

Nothing like the National Anthem to get me in a patriotic mood. . . . Destroy them! Kill 'em! Maim the opponents! . . . .

The showboating and embellishment and attempts to show off vocal affectations have made the singing of the national anthem into something of a comical event. It should be sung, as written, we aren't there to hear you wail, yodel, screech, or otherwise "make it yours". It's not yours. It's ours. So sing it with respect, since it's our national anthem, not your American Idol audition.

I don't get the love for the Houston rendition. Just not feeling it.

Sparks is amazing, though.

Its called creativity, artistic expression...Nobody wants to here the same old dull anthem time after time after time again...

Yeah, because that's why they play it, for your entertainment value...

Hudson rendition sounds like a 2nd rate New Orleans lounge act by the way. And is emblematic of everything wrong with the anthem these days.

As funny as the clip is the Sports Center one where Charlie Steiner can't stop laughing makes it even funnier.
