national anthem

Sometimes simple is best - simple done and perfectly executed.  Like this version of the National Anthem by trumpet artist Chris Botti from Monday Night Football last night. It brought several of the players to tears. Check it out - I'm a sucker for a great version of The Star Spangled Banner...

At Game 1 of the World Series last night, Trisha Yearwood sang the National Anthem in all it's glory!  Social media blew up with praise.  The overwhelming opinion was that Trisha's version was the way the Star Spangled Banner is supposed to be...

With all the crazy weather surrounding the Daytona 500, I didn't hear very much about the National Anthem during the Nationwide race on Saturday night.  It kind of surprised me, considering it was one of the most unique versions I've ever heard...

Over the years there have been many bad renditions of the National Anthem. Some people forget a line or a word, others are just terrible singers. This one however takes the cake. It is almost hard to listen to because it is so embarrassing!

Viewers were quick to call out Luke Bryan for appearing to check his left hand at moments during his performance of the National Anthem at the MLB All-Star Game in Kansas City, Mo. on Tuesday night. Now, the singer has come clean, admitting to have written “key words” down to ensure he did his best.

If you are a sports fan like me you were probably watching the MLB All Star Game last night where the American League took a whoopin' losing to the National League 8-0.

Are children getting more and more musically talented?

It seems to have happened a lot in the last year, many music stars messing up the Star Spangled Banner at sporting events.
