Absurdity

In the words of George Carlin, "I consider them symbols, and I leave symbols to the symbol-minded." It's entirely possible to respect the ideas behind the anthem, without caring enough to listen to the horrible pop singer butchering the song that represents them.

You obviously made your mind up before she sang the first note - let alone flubbed the one line.
Obviously. All pop singers butcher it... Some worse than others. That's why they get paid so much.

Because Christina Aguilera butchered the national Anthem on Sunday, people are starting to suggest that we should change the anthem to be America the Beautiful because the Star Spangled Banner is "too hard to sing", the lyrics are "biligerent", and the tune itself is based on an English drinking song. Hard to sing, meaning the words are too complicated, or are difficult to remember? The lyrics are "biligerent"? Damn skippy the lyrics are biligerent.

Or alternatively get someone with talent to sing it?
