The best: Jimi Hendrix’s classic performance at Woodstock. The best Super Bowl ever? Whitney Houston in her pre-Bobby Brown prime (plus the New York Giants went on to win the big game).
The Piano Man, Billy Joel, at this year’s Super Bowl. Marvin Gaye makes the national anthem sound romantic during his rendition from the 1983 NBA All-Star Game. Michael Bolton forgets what the ramparts we watched were doing.
Christina Aguilera fails to merge hip-hop with patriotism. Slash goes the Hendrix route, but ends up sounding like a kid at guitar practice. Kelly had the right idea, but there’s way too much dancing/hand clapping.
Hillary Clinton painfully forgets (and painfully reminds us) that she’s wired for sound. Almost as bad as lighting an American flag on fire. This cop should be arrested for his horrible rendition.
Roseanne Barr banshees her way through the anthem, prompting San Diego to riot. The best: Jimi Hendrix’s classic performance at Woodstock.
