I didn't watch the game, but I saw her rendition several times today. Awful!

I'm less concerned about the mangled words than the style. Virtually all pop singers feel the need to "sing" the anthem in a way to feature themselves more than to honor the nation, the nation's history, the flag, the military services and those who have suffered or died for all of us. Universally, they seem to feel the anthem has too few notes, so they put a lot of extra ones in. But the worst is the inability to fight the urge to drawl and slur the words to non-understandability.

Personally, I'd rather not hear the anthem than hear it degraded in that way.

AMEN!! Just sing the song the way it was written!! And don't get me started on the "Black Eyed Pea Brains"!!! What was the NFL thinking???!!!

Agreed, The NFL (and FOX) should be ashamed, although I'm not surprised with FOX (third rate network to begin with)........brought back memories of when that fat pig Rosanne Barr (I think that's her name) butchered our anthem, I wish somebody would have taken her out.

+1!  Ironically, in one of the SB commercials, Miss Piggy (oops, Rosanne B!) got knocked on her ass by a swinging log.
