World Series Anthems

I don’t want to be flamed for the following statements, I want positive, but the SSB has been questionable to say the least for the fall classic this year. Tuning , missed words/phrases?? It is sad and a disgrace because I know there are wonderful musicians around including student groups that would do far better. I wish the best for these “famous “ performers, but I am just voicing an opinion and concerned.

Why are you concerned?

Everyone knows its a tough song and under pressure people (who have probably sang it a 1000 times) make mistakes.

Concerned just seems like a very strong word. People will have opinions one way or the other about performances and that's the nature of the beast. I don't think anyone on this board has ever had a perfect performance. Every musician in the world has messed up lyrics----to their own songs!

If your statement is about patriotism and the such, then I think there are far bigger issues than knowing the words to the SSB.

I usually dont even bother watching the anthems at sporting events now. But you should check out comedian Eddie Izzard's bit about singing the national anthem. Kinda true.
