    Was I the only one who noticed that this was a lip-synched performance?

  2. johnhattan says:

    IIRC national anthems are almost always lip-synched because of the acoustics of stadiums. It’s nigh-impossible to sing in a stadium because you hear your own voice bounce back at you a fraction of a second later.

    Frakin’ awesome!

    God Bless America, and greetings from Portugal!

    Now go back to recovering those liberties you’ve been losing these past few years…

    If only people like George Bush and Dick Cheney could live up to it, what a wonderful world this might be.

  5. TatooYou says:

    She has a great voice! I had never heard of her before now.

  6. Chainring says:

    #4 – what a shame that you think any two people can ruin the entire world. Maybe it’s time to turn off the news and have a walk outside. Meet some other humans. There’s lots of nice folks around… try meeting a few.

  7. brian t says:

    I wish some of these singers would try holding a note, instead of going all over the place with vocal histrionics. When I hear Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera & co, I find myself thinking that they don’t hold notes because they can’t.

  8. Brian says:

    7-

    Someone’s jealous….so what if they sing differently than what YOU would like, they still have infinitely more talent than 99.9% of the population.

  9. Jeff says:

    No, its probably just younger women trying to be like Mariah and get some($$$).

  10. Pmitchell says:

    I agree true talent is holding a note not the up and down that the current singers do ( because it is very difficult )

  11. Steve says:

    Jose Feliciano still gets my vote for the best rendition (after Jimi of course).

  12. Mick Hamblen says:

    Wikipedia says her full name is Jordin Brianna Sparks. That’s Jordin with an ‘i’
