Gladys Knight to sing the National Anthem at the superbowl. This might be something to see.

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. Rod

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.

Watched her on YouTube. Great performance, and not one pos taking a knee to be seen.

She did a beautiful job, one of the best I have ever heard.

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.
