I don't think the commercials are as good as they used to be either.

Go, Ms. Knight.

It has been said that Ms. Knight is old school, and indeed she is. She started her carrier back when things were NOT good for people of color in this country. She now has little time for the snowflakes of today who melt down because it is not a nice sunny day like they were looking for. I have no doubt Ms. Knight will do the Anthem proud.

Jimmy Buffet just did a nice job with it at the Saints/Rams game. Not flashy, not overdone.



God bless America.

Think he should have practiced bit more. He didn’t hit any of the right notes.

I thought he sounded off too. Struggled with some of the notes.

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

Gladys killed it. A excellent rendition of the Anthem. Her voice was smooth & silky.

God bless her. I wish we had more of her, who actually experienced real racism, to be a voice of reason and bring us together.

They should have called it a night after she sang.
It has only gone down hill from there.

It was okay, but not as good as Whitney Houston's rendition in '91'. I think it will be a long time before that will be surpassed.

Click on the "Watch on YouTube" link that shows up below the text. It'll take you to YouTube and you can get the video there. No sweat.



God bless America.
