Best performance of the Star Spangled Banner - Page 2

Bonus points for me too - I really need to see that film again!

I've never been a fan of Whitney (just too much embellishment, never been my thing) and I deplored her version of the song, when the original was - to me - so much better, and so much more moving. It's like taking a high quality vanilla ice cream, then adding whipped cream with sugar, then topping it with syrup and then chocolate sprinkles. Less elegant.

I'm with U.T. That was by far the best performance ever.

Nice, spud. I'm always amazed when such powerful voices come out of such little people.

Having said that, is anyone else reminded of The Wharvey Gals? They're bonafide!

Oh good lord.
I got goosebumps and a lump in my throat and it's not even my damn anthem.
