Good luck with that. After listening to this and Fergie's performances of this song, I doubt they'll find singers suited well to sing Star Spangled Banner
I think the National Anthem is just a song you just don't f..k with. You sing it properly, but once again every artist uses the opportunity to showcase their questonable range.....and get their egos stroked, it all comes down to being very inconsiderate and disrespectful. Were they taught nothing at school? tut tut

In the Philippines, there are specifics enforced in singing the National Anthem. It can be in any key, as long as it’s in duple, a la marcha, and the same melody. The Historical Institute became stricter just this past decade...

Fergie's performance was funny because it was just over the top and ridiculous, but this is just cringeworthy. She's a legendary singer, but this was just a mess
Nope. She doesn’t have a good voice. She’s made a living, amazingly, screaming through every song she’s ever done. Remarkable feat. Shows you what a bunch of musically ignorant morons her fans and the music industry are.
You really don't have to like it. This is her style and her rendition. Believe me she knows the song. She couldn't have gone in the directions she did if she didn't.
Mat K sorry but you really don’t know what you’re talking about. She doesn’t change keys in this song. In fact she doesn’t sing off key at all. She just takes a lot of liberties in how she sings it and adds way too much decoration (that’s an opinion but I guess it’s why people don’t like this performance.)
Ellery Prescott I guess it depends on what you call “off key”. The star spangled banner has a known key and people will either sing in key it was written, or above it or below it. But all of their notes are within that natural key. Whitney Huston is a prime example. She sang a higher key, I believe 2 steps up, but all of her notes and runs were natural for that key....the song sounded true to the song. She definitely changed keys multiple times that was not in line with the natural key of the song or even they key she started the performance in. She was all over the place and not in a good way. I love Chaka Kahn but this was messy. She may not have been flat or sharp, but she was definitely not in a consistent key.

Singers are tryna be extraordinary during the national anthem, just take your time and do what your used to
They don't really know the word's ..... To this delightful song.
Every time they try to upstage it, they embarrass themselves. "Just do it exactly like Whitney". That should be the rule for everyone.
@Brandon......"USED" being the definitive word, My Friend !!
@@TMWill-fi5fy or just sing it how a normal person sings it. Dont try to be Christina Agui. And overdid it with those diabolical high notes
Exactly. Just sing it normally, don’t try to embellish it or do too much. Just sing it normally.
I'm getting some Fergie vibes from this
The NBA All Star Game is just cursed for the anthems, isnt it 😂
A reminder to everybody that this woman said Mariah Carey paid to be on The Rolling Stones Greatest Singers List
Poor Chaka, she can`t sing the national anthem but she sure looks great to be nearing 70 years old.

Copied comment. Are you really that desperate for attention?
I'm loving these national anthems 😂 who we got next??
She started well and good until she hit that high note everything became scary and shit...i know she can sing but i dunno what happened here...
That was terrible from the start
Yesssss what happen!!!!
This is what happens when u take the national anthem to church during a funeral service.
It's because she is a legend so everyone was scared to tell her when she was messing up during rehearsals
it's Chaka Khan what do u expect?
I listened to a podcast recently that did an analysis of all national anthem performances this century, and I guess this was SCIENTIFICALLY the most extra one ever 🤣
