Borrowing from my own blog post this morning, re: Obama:
While it was improper protocol (and anyone who wants to be president had damn well better know protocol), the REAL outrage was the horrific version of the national anthem in the background. It was “sung” by one of those artiste types who screech and warble and couldn’t hit a note cleanly to save her life. She actually made Hillary Clinton’s singing sound good! Yeah, she was THAT bad!
Gov. Richardson and Sen. Clinton: One thumb up for knowing what they were doing. Sen. Obama: One thumb down for NOT knowing what he was doing. For the “singer”: Two thumbs way down and a ball-gag. Go and sin(g) no more, honey.
Yeah, that’s one of my pet peeves. It’s a tough enough song to sing without intentionally botching it up by thinking it’s a scat number. It ain’t “The Star-Spangled Bebop.” Just sing it like it’s written!
