There was a video of some country singer who was performing the anthem before a game last night who struggled a 'bit' with the ending.
But it made me start thinking - I've heard from more than one regular singer that the anthem is very difficult to sing. Are we the only country who's anthem is weird musically (in terms of octaves and such, not words)?

I just watched/listened. If you think about it, that was a perfect representation of where we are as a country right now.

I say that at major sporting events, the anthem should be performed by amateurs.
Have local choirs/instrumental bands audition and choose a selection of them. Or pre-record it and have someone lipsync.
For the superbowl, what better choice than a military member or choir - those folks sing that shit for their living!
Enough of constantly butchering it. If we're going to play it constantly at least get it right.
Better yet, stop playing it before every damn event!

That gets my vote. The ceremonial association with sporting events is just plain dumb.
