When the American national anthem is sang right, without too much R and B bull**** in it it can be a pretty song.
Although I have heard a good version that was R&B in harmony, and I liked it.... I just don't like all that Ashanti ****.
The American anthem is actually an old British drinking society song, written by an English man. The Anacreontic Song. *Obviously with different words*
it was really bad on some of those don king drawn out showtime fights from back in the day...heaven forbid the fighters were from 2 different countries...and i few times i heard them play the god damn refs national anthem...so there were 3 in a row!!!
This version's pure and simple, but it was nice. Much better than when "pros" do it. [yt]wNsm1yv5viY[/yt] My favorite version of my national anthem... [yt]hxQt05vhnUE[/yt] Also sung with very little frills, yet so moving and beautiful.
Nothing beats this [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82SR2D-vElE[/ame] By the way. The American anthem is good when not sung by RnB singers - just keep it simple. Having said that, I'm waiting for the first person to rap it.
