I don't know what you guys were listening to you. That sounded awesome to me. I don't know if the band are playing live but she certainly was singing live. I love the orchestration and the arrangements of national anthem and I love the way she actually restrained herself in singing it in a very Dignified way But maintaining her style and class.Maybe some of you need to just relax a little bit. Times are changing and people's tastes are also changing. The national anthem is not secret as far as I know. This to my mind was certainly one of the better versions of the national anthem with a contemporary feel while still maintaining its trueness to the original song. It certainly not something to get upset about
