So, did Beyonce yodel the Star-Spangled Banner today or did she sing it?

Just wondering.....she should be coming up next on C-Span.

1. She sang it straight

And did a little flourish at the end.

It's a difficult song to sing due to the range....

2. She did a really nice job.

She has a beautiful voice.

3. Well, I'm a picky old hen,

and I thought she did a gorgeous job of it!

4. She sang it straight in the beginning with just a few small runs at the end. As compared to Clarkson

[Control-Z]

5. It was quite nice.

No gymnastics (to speak of).

6. one little yodel and she repeated "of the brave" twice, which sort of annoyed me. LOL.

7. Kewl. Then I should enjoy watching her sing it.

Kelly Clarkson is singing now........

[Freddie]

8. Very tasteful, beautiful

9. She actually changed it a lot. But subtly and tastefully.

I'm not a big fan of hers, but that's one best SSBs I've heard.

11. She did it great, and I too go rabid when I hear the "improvements" most people try to add

The song's bigger than you.

Don't try to be bigger than the song.

Play it straight.

13. I had no idea who that singer was.

I'm glad I saw this post. I have read her name before, but have not seen/heard her sing until today.

14. I thought she was great but did she have to be seated next to Newt Gingrich?

I mean I know someone does but give JayZ and Beyonce a break.
if she's performing she should not have to sit next to Jabba the Hut before she sings.

15. Thank heavens it was not Mariah Carey!

[MrMickeysMom]
