Now THAT was a National Anthem!

Hats go off to Mr Adkins for his performance. After all these American Idol goofs and others who try to sing it, he did America proud! And I'm not even a country music fan. If anyone here with computer savy can provide a link to hear it again, that would be awesome.

My wife teared up more than usual... It was very well done!

I couldn't agree more. I too am not a real fan of country music but I thought last night's rendition was one of the best in recent memory. I've had all I can stand of these "recording artists" giving their personal versions of the anthem. It should be unlawful for anyone to sing the NATIONAL ANTHEM in any way other than the way it was written. Here ends my rant for the day. Ol Sneller

I didn't get to see that one. I still think the best I have ever heard was Martina McBride on the first monday night football game after 9/11. A Packer game I believe.

Whitney Houston did a good one at the superbowl about 10 years ago.

DOH! Stupid Me. I will refrain from trying to make astute observations for the next 10 mins.
