Love Gladys Knight, HATED that performance (especially the arrangement). For some reason, I'm a purist when it comes to the National Anthem. I'm sure there are some non-traditional arrangements or performances that I MIGHT like, but when you 'throw it open' for anybody to interpret, you nevee know what you'll get (a sterling performance OR a cringe-worthy abomination). Just my opinion, though. I prefer a 'traditional' arrangement done by an artist with the range and talent to perform it in a traditional manner. I mostly like 'military band' type arrangements. Like I said, just my opinion (only valid for me).
