When I hear the National Anthem performed in the traditional manner, I can feel the song in my heart, I feel the pride and become emotional, almost to the point of tears of joy. Unfortunately, that has not been the case with many of the singers during the past two decades. Some, such as Roseann Barr, have butchered this beautiful anthem in such a manner that I've felt they should be banned from ever singing again. It's not a barroom song - it's the United States National Anthem. It should be performed traditionally and with proper respect.
